Helmet comucation

UQAAOSwbwlW~fQu&vxp=mtr" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Excelvan-BT-Motorcycle-Helmet-Bluetooth-Headset-Motorbike-Intercom-6-Riders/331819370878?epid=1490526876&hash=item4d41f9c97e:gTongueUQAAOSwbwlW~fQu&vxp=mtr

I finally did it .

My Helmet is now Blue-Tooth.   This is all new tech to me , but I managed to get two of these units to work together.
 
I've got voted out of the CMAUSA Chapter Road-Captain job and now am Chaplin again.    They never would get out and go places like we do on the Savage site anyway.  But , the new Road Captain ask me to Tail Gunner ... Yea , sound like fun in a strange way don't it !  Grin

Really though , the Tail Gunner just calls the Road-Captain to let him know that half the pack got caught by a red light or what ever !   So , I got a pair of Excelvan V-6 1200 devices off ebay.   I had thought they were more expensive and more complicated till I got one and read the instruction .    I don't understand all they can do yet.  I'm under the impression  they can connect to up to 5 devices or groups of devices one of which can be a smart phone , mp3 player , or what-ever.  Huh

So , these use flashing red/blue light to "Pair" with each other , anybody have experience with other brands  ?

I recently purchased a Sena 10R. It's installed in my Scorpion AT-950 modular. Installation was a breeze and pairing to my iPhone was uneventful. Music, GPS directions, Siri integration ("Siri, reply to text message...") and yes, bike-to-bike communication - all work perfectly.

For whatever reason, I prefer using the sidetone feature when talking. If your system has that feature give it a try. There's something to hearing yourself through the speakers that makes the whole thing easier to use.

I have a pair of SenaSMH10 helmet radios.  They work great when riding with my wife....we can chit/chat at will.  It also hooks up to my phone by BlueTooth and I can answer a call......I have to stop and dial on the phone if I want to make a call.

I can also use my phone as a GPS and get verbal route instructions on the phone - provided that I don't use the intercom function to talk to the other radio....when I link to the other radio my radio stops receiving the instructions from my phone (supposedly there are phone apps that can fix this - but the SenaSMH10 cannot go back to the GPS on the phone by itself).

I put one of my radios in Oldfellers helmet when we were in Lynchburg several years ago and we could talk to each other fine......and I could even hear when a big bug would hit his face shield!  We could get pretty far apart and still talk as long as we could see each other - but when a hill or curve blocks the vision the radios could not connect unless we were pretty close together.

I don't believe your new helmet radios are going to be very good for you to reach the guide up front....unless you use your cell phone as the connection.

I use the Sena SMH5-FM.  It was a good price compared to others and has a built-in FM radio which is nice in heavy traffic.  I'm able to make and take phone calls and even answer or send text messages by voice if I want to.  Initially got it because I needed to know when I was needed for work when on-call.  Didn't want to get all the way home only to check my phone and find out I needed to turn around and go back  Undecided

All I've done so far is "Pair" the two units together ... I'll read the instructions again and see how to hook my phone to it  .    Roll Eyes  

I did notice the instructions has Four private conversation modes , One phone connection mode , and One open Conversation mode that claims "CAN BE MANY CONECTIONS" . ?   I took it to mean an unlimited number can "Pair" together on the Base channel , kind of like getting a word in edge-wise in a family with 10 children ...  Grin

OK

So , I "Paired" my phone with the helmet thing .   and it started some of the music I have on my phone --- why, I don't know ??? --- so I hit the "+" button and it went to the next song like it was supposed too.  

I wanted to go to my "Music List" so I said "Music" into the helmet speaker --- what I got was 10 seconds of silence , then the Wikipedia's definition of "Music" ..... This might take a while to master !   Roll Eyes

I might have to hire a tutor ?   Grin
