mine is the scala g4 powerset , mike goes inside the helmet the unit fixes to the outside .
connected mine to the satnav when i popped over to the rideout pub the other week, also connects to phone , has a fm radio installed (which aint briliant)and you can connect to a mp3 via a jackplug......the added advantage is that the g4 can connect upto 4 other units which means you can have bike to bike to passenger chat, even if someone is just passing by you.

we used to have the hard wired autocom system which was brilliant however the connecting of the cables everytime we got on and off was a bit of a pain.

have a good look at mine next time we catch up.

You either get voice operated ones (vox) or you have to push a button to talk (PTT).

The mike and earphones go inside your lid. Some (usually cheaper ones) have a little PMR unit that you drop in your jacket pocket or lob under the seat.

The modular ones also allow you to connect to an mp3 player, mobile, sat nav, coffee maker etc as do the bluetooth ones, assuming your bits are bluetooth enabled [1]

Have had three in the past (none of the bluetooth ones though), the Autocom was miles better for bike to bike than the other two cheapo ones, plus was hardwired in so no messing about with batteries. Dunno about rider to pillion though, never saw the need myself.

[1] Be wary of satnavs here, just because you can connect your mobile to it via bluetooth DOES NOT automatically mean that your satnav *transmits* directions over blootooth. I know, I bought 3 different ones before I found one that did.

ive got coms for rider to pillion, or you plug your phone/walkie talkies in, never used it but was £1.50 at aldi

if your after rider to pillion talking you can get cheap plug in ones between the bikes, or if you want wireless etc they go up a bit or you get bluetooth helmets/helmet attachments

I've got an Autocom sat in the garage. I would like to upgrade to the Scala setup when I can afford such luxuries. I will say we found an intercom to be a great way to tolerate long mileages. I reckon it's worth 100 miles a day extra

Get 2 bluetooth helmets (the same) or 2 bluetooth headsets and they will connect to each other plus you can connect to your fone and you can use your fone as a music player as well Dave.
