Wow what a day - I finally get all my bits of lit connected on the bike. When I first bought the bike I had the Garmin Zumo fitted by the dealer and was using the Bluetooth capability to my BMW System 5 helmet I brought from the UK. It was sort of alright but the volume was pretty low and as it was a bluetooth connection it was only mono.
We bought some new Nolan N42 helmets and the J&R headsets to go with them a couple of weeks ago along with an Autocom unit and I have been dying to try it out. It worked OK with an Ipod plugged straight into the Unit but I wanted to get the MP3 capability of the Garmin Zumo working so I could control the music whilst I ride.
Anyway I drove up to Cliffs Cycle Revolution in Danbury this morning and picked up the required Interface lead (1299) which I ordered a couple of weeks ago and hey presto everything is great. The volume levels are a little lower than I would like and I may end up having to open the Autocom Unite and 'tweek' the level which I understand you can do from the instructions. However now I have music and phone, which is paired via Bluetooth with the Garmin Zumo unit.
This is a picture of the Centech and Autocom units installed on my R1200RT.
I also installed a wider/higher screen from Z-Technic which will hopefully stop a bit of the buffeting I have ben experiencing with the standard screen.
All I want now is the Coffee making attachment and I will be set!
