look for a autocom system.. you can listen to music and then when you get a phone call it mutes the music and answers your phone. also the mic goes off vibration so when you talk it doesn't pick up any windnoise and the person your talking to wont even know your on a bike. the easi - 7 system is onsale right now for 80-100$ the autocom site lists it for 190. also it comes with speakers to mount in your helmet and they sound pretty damn good.

I never liked the chatter box brick on the side of a helmet... and they used them in “Torque†so I'd feel like a squid using one. I ordered a Nady headset from RonAyers.com. They are about the slowest place to order from so when it shows up I'll do a test and post it. It's only $42 shipped and has attachments for mobile phones, mp3 players, two way radios or what ever. I'm only buying and using for the two way radios, but I'll test the mobile phone thing for you.

I would appreciate it. Does anyone use Bluetooth? If so how does that work?

I use blue tooth and just leave my treo 650 in my back pack or under the seat... It works for me, just scares the **** out of me when someone starts talking in my ear...

Ahaha I definately agree with the brick thing...

Did you order the headset and the radio, or just the headset?

I have some two way radios, but Don't know if the headset would work with them?

Just the headset... I'll try the Motorola Talkabouts and I have a friend that is into HAM radios. He's trying to get me into using them. The range is endless and you can buy a usable radio for under $100.

You can use our motorcycle intercom if your cell phone has a 3/32" jack. You still have to manually answer the call, but a lot of phones have an auto-answer feature that can be set up. You'll know when a call comes in because you will hear a "dada dada" sound.
