A wired intercom unit that supports multiple inputs: Rider / Pillion intercom with Vox - Voice activation - much faster than Bluetooth! Rider's mobile phone Pillion's mobile phone GPS Stereo Music Bike to Bike radio It's about 10 years old and I've not used it for a few years, as I couldn't fit the main unit under the seat of my 2015 Multistrada and so changed to using Bluetooth intercom systems. The pillion headset cable from the main unit has some damage to the outer sheath. It works fine and I've removed the insulation tape I'd used as a repair to show the damage. The rider's headset cable also have some damage to the sheath, again I'd repaired it. I purchased a new riders headset which I ended up never using which I'll include in the deal. There are also a couple of 3.5mm jack cables for phone/GPS/music connections which I'll include. Was £60 now FREE plus postage.
OK No takers at £60 - anyone want it for FREE (collect or you pay the postage) before I send it to landfill
I'm actually thinking about it. I had almost the same set in my boat for a while when I was using it all year and in all weathers. Even when you are sitting next to each other the use of full face helmets means you can't really talk to each other, especially with a 200HP 2-stroke doing it's thing a few feet behind you. It also enabled me to use the VHF with a press button rather than the hand held mic. It gave up the ghost eventually because of the environment it was in. I can't read the labels very well, is there anything that suggests I'd be able to connect it up to my VHF?
It is designed to work with radios for bike to bike communication however I've never used this feature. Direct message me with your email address and I'll send you the PDF manuals as it's not possible to attach PDFs to posts or messages :-(
Used to have a Super Pro Avi but then bought an MV Turismo (zero under seat space) which heralded me buying a Bluetooth headset. The SPA is, I believe, an evolution of the model I had. The great thing about Autocom is that the system is modular and also pretty robust. Added to which leads and parts are available from the likes of eBay so keeping a set running into the future isn't an issue. Also being bike powered no issues with recharging etc. I had it connection to GPS, Bluetooth to phone, rider and pillion headsets, and PTT for bike to bike UHF radio. Quite a few of the group I rode with at the time had similar set-ups and we managed far better range than the headsets of today, especially with separate Ground Plane Independent (GPI) antennas. Bigger group sizes and no pairing issues, if you were in range and set to the right channel it worked. You can use different brands of radios without compatibility issues too. This meant lead and TEC of a group ride could usually stay in touch which was far better than the line of sight you usually get with Bluetooth headsets (OK, Mesh may change this but you need multiple same brand headsets in the group). I do accept that many poo-poo the idea of group comms or headsets altogether. Each to their own. I still use bike to bike on tour for the sheer convenience, albeit usually using BT headsets and just my best mate and I. Otherwise it's just for hearing GPS instructions or emergency phone use. An Autocom set-up is over-kill for my purposes these days.
@Bumpkin - I stopped using the Autocom when I changed from a 2013 to 2015 Multistrada for the same reason as you when you got the MV - not enough space under the seat. I only ever used it for rider / passenger comms while we both listened to music (from an iPod) and the odd mobile phone call - it worked really well, the VOX connection for setting up taking between rider and passenger was very fast. After the change to Bluetooth headsets I was very disappointed with the VOX delays and endless "fun" resolving pairing problems between headsets, phones and sat navs. I glad that @Nasher can make good of it. @Ducbird - please lock the thread
