bluetooth radio
« on: June 23, 2014, 10:35:33 AM »
Have hooked up a bluetooth headset into my helmet to answer and talk on the phone when riding. Trying to find a bluetooth radio to be able to tune that in as well to use on those long lonely rides. Have not been able to find such a device. Have tried 'Hardly Normal'. Target, "Tricky Smiths", Radio Rentals. Do they exist? Looked at MP3s, but they all work on head phones.

What do you guys have to enjoy some 'vibes' on the open road via the helmet?

Hi Hobs
I use Pandora through my phone. Works a treat provide you have an internet connection. You also need to be able to keep your phone charged. Wouldn't want to have a breakdown and flat phone. If no phone reception I just use iPod
Cheers
Get on it

If I feel the need to have music I use my phone with it's head set. Most phones are Bluetooth capable so all you need as is the car charger.

I put the phone in my jacket pocket and at the end of the day (on long trips) I put the phone on charge.

Only the SMH5 Johnny.... :wink1

You can use numerous radio stations from your mobile in the form of an app....BUT they do use your data and you need be in mobile coverage of your service provider.....just music from your phone is easiest option, I'm playing with a FM receiver at the moment that will come through to my Sena SMH10.....will post if its successful  :beer

I have a 16 GB phone with a 16GB sim card and have all my CDs as MP3's on the Sim Card in the phone and play them (with shuffle) through the bluetooth headset in the helmet. :grin

Never bored and never in the same order.  :thumb
Cheers,
Gary
