Autocom advice please

[Jam]

My primary requirements are to be able to talk with the missus on the back (pillion). I would like this to be a clear conversation . The requirement for adding a telephone is not important although the bike to bike would be nice although , again, not important . It would also be nice to hard wire it into the bike if possible.

I have looked at the autocom website and have a good idea of the way to go . I just thought asking for advice is always better before a prospective purchase than afterwards.

What is the most cost effective way, in your experience , of carrying this out and what wouyld you anticipate the cost being.


Thanks for your time

Last year got an Autocom pro-7 ( I think) , not the basic model, but the fully monty job. Mounted the unit on the bike, bl**dy great 2 up , can talk without shouting at almost any speed. wifey loves it, can plug in mobile phone and stereo if I want. It's real easy to use.I can't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't cheap. Worth every penny tho'. Don't be tempted by other cheaper systems, they are mostly cr*p, spend the money and get the best.

Jam I'd go for the new 'un, the Active 7. It will do all you require and more and much better value than the Pro 7.

I have an Autocom Pro system on a K 1100 LT and a Eurocom on an R 1150 GS, which perform very well, but I have heard good reports about these http://www.tecstar.co.uk/comms/

They are also resonably local to you at Leicester. (St Ives, Huntingdon)

I fought against having an intercom for years. I relented and got an Oxford Bike 3 set. Used it for a year and I am now a convert. Got an Autocom 7 smart at the NEC show - 200 pounds. It was not a mistake. I wish I got that system first. I use it with the phone and audio. A nice feature is when you talk the music automatically mutes, then restores to the original setting. Recommended.
