Chatterbox bluetooth install#

Any experiance with the Scala units, they have a new G4 system out too simular to the chatterbox. Helps play down the loud pipe.Īll in all, I can say we love the units and would suggest them to anyone with similar needs, a pair or trio that always rides together and wants something more than hand signals and head turns.Įven though they aren't cheep, the fact that I was able to quickly warn him of the rubber mallet I was dodging in front of him at 55mph, I think they have or will pay for themselves quickly!Ĭorrect me if I am wrong, but that bike has built in comm's doesn't it? U just need the cable and mic/speaker set from Ma Kaw. When I don't want bothered, I turn it off. I have the phone paired and have taken a quick call on long rides. If these features don't interest you, don't use them. There are many different opinions out there on phones/music. The units run $230 msrp each, but you can hunt down a deal. Sound quality is great and units are quite easy to use.

No more quick head turns to find someone you can't find in your mirror. Having the ability to speak clearly with your riding partner (paring with up to two other units), even at high speeds and with distance between, provides a greater level of safety.

Install was fairly simple.Īll that being said, I can say that we are quite pleased with our purchases. The units purchased were for full face helmets. The unit also allows you to connect to two bluetooth devices (cell phone/iPod) transition between devices is quite easy, and automatic in most cases. The experienced reality with clear communications was actually about half of that, but this is still a significant distance. The version 2, however, is capable of far greater distances.

I have no experience with the original unit, but this is what I have read. Apparently the original units were good for rider/passenger or very close bike to bike communication. This has made range substantially greater. Just wanted to post up some comments, as I have seen some asking about bike communication recently. We (TheBulbouseOne and I) have recently purchased two ChatterBox XBi2 units.
