G'day all,
I'm in the process of sorting out the accessory wiring on my bike, trying to workout what to keep and what to remove/replace. I guess first I need to decide where I want to go with it before I can work out where to start!
So, little background, this is ST2UP's old bike, he had a Comstar & UHF fitted, the guy I bought it from removed that setup, cutting the wiring, but leaving most of it in place. I still have the drivers Starcom plug socket & volume control there, as well as the PTT button. The back end (which went to the UHF) is a bit of a mess, haven't started to sort that out yet!).
So, I'd love some recommendations on a Comms system, if I can use any of the existing wiring, that'd be awesome, if not, well, that's just how it is. I currently use a pair of Aldi Bluetooth headsets, not bad, but not the greatest, and can only work with one device (ie, phone via Bluetooth).
My Wishlist:
-To be able to chat with pillion (and shut them up if needed...)
-Connect to phone for calls, and navigation directions.
-Connect to iPod for music/podcasts (I can do that through the phone, but I have to pre-load it, as there is only so much free space).
-Comm via UHF
Wired or unwired, I'm not too fussed, I don't like having to remember to charge batteries, but I also don't like jumping off the bike and forgetting to disconnect a cable! (Have done both, one is inconvenient, the other embarrassing, don't know which is worse tho!) Any recommendations on what might fulfil these needs, while not breaking the bank? I'm very open to the idea of older, 2nd hand equipment too, doesn't need to be the latest & greatest.
