Auto switching comms

[bigtwinguy]

I don’t need anything special as I’m not really into chatting while riding. I use my cheap Freedconn headset for satnav instructions only. However I have ‘one’ friend that I’m happy to converse with and an ‘auto switching’ headset would be beneficial as having to fiddle with buttons is too tedious for me to contemplate. Especially with the Freedconn as it’s all a bit random. (That’s one friend I’m happy to converse with while riding. Not ‘one friend’. I actually have two).

Any recommendations

Ta.

Not a perfect solution.

but on an old headset i had it could only connect to one device at a time.
priority was the sat nav

so if my mate was riding with me i went on the sat nav turned off the bluetooth.
this stopped my headset having a dicky fit and getting confused when my mate was near.

Disabling the bluetooth on the sat nav, gave me a perfect connection with my mate then.

when back on my own, i turned the sat nav bluetooth back on and it connected again.

Thanks I might give that a go and see how we get on. It’ll be a rare occasion as I live in France now and he lives in the U.K. so the amount of times we shall be riding together will be minimal so I’m not inclined to upgrade and neither is he.

P.S. you have some nice YouTube videos. (I’ve subscribed) I like the Falkirk wheel and the Kelpies. Andy Scott the sculptor is a friend of my wife’s. I’ve yet to get up there and see them but even before I met my wife I was a huge fan of his work when I would drive between Glasgow and Edinburgh and pass the ‘Heavy Horse’ every day on the M8
