What I'm using on the bike is
Zumo 660
Nokia N70
Intarides IR-803 for bike to bike and bike to student radios
Intaride Evo2 with bluetooth.
I have the phone bluetoothed to the Zumo660
I have the Zumo 660 bluetoothed to the Evo2
I have also connected a 3.5mm lead from the Zumo to the the Evo2's music input via the Zumo's harness. The 2.5mm mic jack on the Zumo harness is not used. (audio out on the Zumo is set to headset, this eliminates the bluetooth proximity volume issues
)
How it works-
I connected the Zumo to the Evo by the music socket rather than the GPS socket because the Zumo doesn't seperate music and nav commands, because the Evo priority is Phone-GPS-speech-music whenever I played music with the Zumo it wouldn't mute it whenever I spoke to the pillion. Connecting it via the music socket now puts the priority as phone-speech-Zumo(nav/music), repeating the last nav command is easy on the Zumo with one touch of the screen anyway.
Volume has greatly increased over the Evo1, also and I'm no audio buff the sound seems to have more bass. I don't wear earplugs as I find the schuberth lid good enough but volume should easily cope well if you wear plugs.
On the road everything worked as well as I'd come to expect with the Evo1
But (and this was the biggest selling point for me) after some tweaking with the programming software I no longer get false vox triggering with the pillion headset. My son is also chuffed to bits when he's on the back as he can now carry on hearing the music when we hit the motorway rather than just hearing windnoise.
I have the vox set quite sensitive as I don't like having to shout to activate it (and it's quite annoying for the me and the students when they keep missing the first word of any instructions).
When I'm solo and sick of the MP3's I like to put the radio on, the IR-803 is probably one of the few radios with a decent enough reception that I don't have to keep retuning every five minutes
Overall a big for the setup I've got, all I need now is Garmin to pull their finger out so I can connect my new Nokia
