Autocom set up resolved by a visit to HQ

[Racey]

Like many, having read of the endless possibilities for the Autocom system, I found myself foxed by exactly how to install it..!

The brochures and these forums spoke of the ability to use phone, satnav and mp3 with ease... I knew what i wanted it to do, but didn't know how...

I reverted to asking my BMW dealer for assistance, but their installation only did part of what i wanted it to. So on Friday I phoned Autocom with a request for help...

They offered me a slot next working day. Rich listened to what i wanted the system to do. Advised which extra parts i needed to accomplish this and set about rectifying the install that the BMW dealer had done.

Within an hour he had resited the control box to a far better and waterproof site, had rigged up all the electrical toys i needed to talk to one another and had even re rigged my helmet and my wife's to a far better level of comfort...

All this at no cost to me other than the few extra parts i needed...

So to all those out there that, like me, are technically inept - save yourselves hassle and wasted time reading all these numerous threads...

Call Rich at Autocom, have a nice ride and come away with you Autocom finally "doing what it says on the tin"...

Where'd he end up putting it then?

I've got to do mine soon and I've also got the added volume of a B2B radio, Bluetooth dongle and I-pod......??


Cheers!

I refitted the system so it was ran where I always fit them in the plastic tool tray under the riders seat. Bike to bike wise there will be no room under the seat for any transceivers so I always fit the bikes so the transceivers are kept on person or into a tank bag etc.

BT wise all depending on what is being used the dongle can be kept under the riders seat with the comms unit or if a GPS is being used we fit them under the plastics by the headstock as close to the GPS as possible to allow for a better signal strength
