Setting it all up ...

[Lofty]

All,

Please excuse the question as I'm sure it's well hidden in a thread on here but I'll ask anyway.

I have a new Autocom Kit 300 Pro-Duo with BMW Motorrad Zumo 550, Autocom part 1299, Nokia E71 and Intaride Integra headsets.

I've laid it all out loosely on the bike and I have the following success: All items power up, Phone can dial out from Zumo and calls accepted from Zumo screen.

I have no access to my pillion at present so can't be sure of rider to pillion comms although vox circuit works when I blow sharply at boom mike and I can hear my own voice as expected.

I cannot hear anything from the Zumo either in the form of directions, music or phone audio, I suspect it is the entire audio needing to be set up, the preset potentiometers are all mid position.

I have only a short time tomorrow before I need to use the bike so I'd be grateful for any obvious thoughts; my only thought is that becasue I am using the Intaride headsets I don't have the rider background noise cancellation circuit running, will this be a significant issue?

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers,

Mark

If the autocom and Zumo are both bike powered, you'll need another box from Autocom to stop them creating an earth loop.

No idea why they don't build that in, seems bloody obvious to me. Think the unit is £30.

Following some basic engineering investigations I have got all working except that I cannot hear anything when receiving / making a phone call, the Autocom mutes but although I can hear myself I cannot hear the other end ...

Anyone got any thoughts ?

I fitted a new unit yesterday - I bluetoothed my phone and could barely get any volume or hear a ringtone.
The bluetooth module has seperate power and phono plugs, I plugged the phono into a different outlet and its fine, cuts music to about 50%.

No, not really, but how is the Integra headset?
