    As I'm sick of getting lost and missing out turnings I'm thinking of getting a Bluetooth earpiece to connect with my phone's maps and GPS

    Does anyone on here use one, if so what do you use and do you like it

    Picked up one of these about 3 weeks ago for around £27
    Check the reviews etc - pay by paypal

    When first connecting only use your mobile to control the volume (unless it's my setup I used the headset volume first and now the headset won't turn back up to the volume and it's slightly too quiet but still works on calls - I just have to increase the volume on my mp3s before adding to mobile)
    Other than that little blip mentioned above I can't fault the device especially when a similar Senna will cost £180 approx

    Easy to fit
    Velcro pads locate onto helmet then attach ear pieces - feed cable around helmet - fix unit (either via velcro or screws/clamp) and velcro pad for microphone - job done

    had this nearly a year , cost was £34 from amazon .

    instalation was fairly simple, just remove cheek padding, fit the small velcro pads roughly where your lug holes sit and then pop the earphone section into the velcro. ( you install velcro pads to both helmet and the speakers) the mic fits in the left cheek.
    to turn on you press and hold the small flush button on the left of the jog wheel for around 5 seconds, you then turn on your bluetooth on your phone and search for new devices, when phone finds the device you click to connect.

    when turned on a double tap of the jog wheel center turns on fm radio , flicking the jog wheel left or right moves up and down radio stations , to adjust volume you rotate the jog wheel left or right and hold it there, and the volume increases or decreases.
    to answer a call you press the jog center button once and to hang up press it again this action also turns on voice to passenger if they have device connected to riders headset.

    I use Waze app for my satnav use and its worked flawless when phone is paired and both bluettoth and satnav are enabled voice commands come direct to the headset, no need to be looking at the phone screen or fiddling with it, volume adjusting works perfect and if you gain a call with either radio playing - mp3 playing or satnav the device auto turns down the volume and then adjusts back up once call ends , if you do not do any actions when phone is ringing, after 15 rings it automaticly answers so no fiddling to accept call on headset just let it ring and answer for you.
