We've managed with a budget bluetooth helmet to helmet intercom for the past couple of years and it's been ok for chatting with pillion two-up or bike to bike if you stay close, it has struggled to connect to bike audio and sat nav. It needed to be paired to the bike manually each time I used it, which was a pain in the arse. Also, it has to be used with helmet speakers which struggle to be loud enough with earplugs in.
The Sena 20S has a socket to plug in-ear monitors into, which resolves the speaker issue. I'm told, by the man at the London bike show, that they are very effective at connecting to, and prioritising, multiple sources - bike (for radio, MP3 and sat nav), other unit (for conversations) and iPhone (though I doubt I'll ever need that). Also comes with an "app" on your phone to do all the settings, which is appealing.
Has anyone got experience with the Sena? Is it as easy to set up as I hope it will be? And, once paired to the bike, will it automatically pair and connect every time?
Bike is a K1600GT with the integrated Garmin sat nav, but I'm guessing all BMW systems are the same.
(I bought it from Adventure Bike Shop, who sponsor this bit of the site. Best price I could find via Ebay. £120 less than I was quoted at the London bike show...)
