Using Bluetooth headset with Garmin 2610 / 2720?

[blackbird160]

Hi
Has anyone achieved a connection to a Scala or other Bluetooth headset from a Garmin 2610 or 2720 other than via an autocom?
If so, how did you do it and does it work OK
Thanks

Neither of those GPS's have any bluetooth connections btw

Thanks, that's why I've asked the question.

Actually the 2720 does have a bluetooth facility, although I do not use it for a headset it works great with my bluetooth telephone.

I tend to favour a hard wired headset such as Autocom headset directly linked to the 2720 (via Autocom adapter 2.5mm and 3.5mm to din plug) this combination gives a good volume level and will allow you to make and take calls via a bluetooth telephone. The big advantage is that it’s not prone to interference and the headset doesn’t requiring recharging.

I think you mean the 2820 as we did use to sell the 2720 so I should know the specs!!!

Also from your lead description you are running a 2820 as there are no jakc plug sockets on the 2720 main control unit to plug in a 3.5mm jack plug

If you want to you may get PerfectPilot - it comes in several versions with BT(http://www.perfectpilot.nl/html/switch_to_english.html) and as a bonus you get nice lefthand ops of your G SP - it comes at a cost of some greens though. I have had mine since 2003 and have been happy
