Autocom friggin RAWKS!

Brian always told me I needed to suck it up and get an autocom system and then we'd get some cheap radios to talk back and forth on rides.

Well...I never did. But he got 2 systems. One for his BMW and one for his motard.

He never used the one on the motard so he gave me the box and told me to install it on the BMW. So I took it and was going to order the leads I needed later.

Well in my down time these past few months I've been installing and routing my leads.

With my BMW I have a GPS, an iPod and a cell phone. I got a shelf to mount all of my electronics in view

So I finally took all the fairings off and routed all the wiring to the devices and plugged the autocom in.

Then I got a helmet lead and tied it all together.

This is SO FRIGGIN awesome! Now I can roll down the road....hear "Bitchin Betty" clear as a bell, my music is on, and when I get a call, it breaks in and all goes silent, then you hear the person on the phone. I was told I KIND of sound like I'm calling from the toilet (echo/can) but I can be heard clear even at 80mph.

I've never had anything like this and it DOES rock! I wish I'd gotten it YEARS ago.

Those of you with an advanced phone (not the dinosaur in the picture above on the small shelf to the right on my dash) won't need multiple leads because of music on phones and nav crap..but I'm semi-oldskool so I have multiple devices.

But I'd HIGHLY recommend this kind of system. Especially if you ride long distance and have people checking on you!

Need to get the wife a helmet lead now so we can talk while we ride and it'll be complete. I've got time though....she won't ride unless it's 60 or hotter
