System 5 WCS (Bluetooth)

[SilverFish]

Just rang up bmw-motorrad to ask about the above.

They've said that they should be available very soon, with demo helmets in showrooms in the next few weeks

Prices:

Complete helmet (Silver Metallic only) £525
Retro Fit kit £240 plus fitting

Appartently they have to be dealer fitted and can only be fitted to a System 5 helmet.

The music and GPS add ons to arrive hopefully in Aug.

No confirmation on whether it's stereo compatible or not.

Just tried one on in Southport Superbikes. Incredible bit of kit with plans to expand to allow other attachments (bike to bike etc).

Does this helmet negate the need for an Autocom etc. Do we know how SatNav would integrate.

1. Yes but not yet (not sure)
2. Yes but not yet

Don't know if it supports the new Bluetooth stereo protocol for MP3 play etc. It dopes not use a boom mike but they are located in the brow of the helmet
