Hi,
I have Autocom Active rider on my bike at the moment. I use the unit pillion to pillion and I have an mp3 player conected up which works really well. I now want to purchase a Zumo 550. I only want to use the sat nav and the mp3 within the zumo. I do not want to connect a phone!!
Q1 Is it a simple case of connecting the lead I currently use for mp3 to the zumo and it will work as described above or do I need to do it differently
Q2 If it is connected up with this one lead, will I get stereo sound as I do at present or is it mono as someone raised earlier in this thread.
Please help me as I really don't have a clue.
Paul

Autocom - BT - Advice required
I have been working for years with the Graytronic Rider to pillion kit and it has done me well. I have recently purchased the Zumo 550 and two new helmets. I transferred the ear pieces and mikes and since then one of my ear pieces has stopped working , obviously I damaged it in the transfer. However I am sick of so many wires, so I was interested in the comments on the forum about the blue tooth technology. I am thinking seriously of going for an Autocom system.
What I require is helmet to helmet comms and communication with the Zumo both for navigation and music. Don’t want to talk on the phone at all whilst on the bike. Have been on the Autocom site and am a little unsure / confused as to what to buy.
I don’t mind spending the money. So given my requests and remembering I don’t want too many wires and I don’t want a tank bag full of kit what should I get. I suppose the big question is about BT. Is the BT reliable and if it drops out like some of you are saying does it reconnect or is there a procedure to go through to get it back again and is the quality as good as hard wire.
I would love someone to tell me what parts I require from autocom to satisfy all my needs. Can anyone possibly help.

Owl1, you need an Autocom kit 200 duo as it comes with rider and pillion headset and does full stereo.
You will also need cable 1314 to route stereo sound from the bike-powered Zumo to the Autocom.

Jacal, you're not 'The Sanguine' reincarnated are you
Ive got the same problem with low volume from my Zumo 550 to Autocom. The music from my IPOD is excellent, but speech direction are is just too quiet for me with 'EARS' in, which was the main reason for updating from my 'Autocom Pro' (circa 1994)
I need to spend some time to go through the connections & settings to make sure that it isnt operator error, but I have been left feeling disappointed with my choice so far.
