Garmin and Bluetooth headset

[Spridal]

Is there anyone out there that is using a bluetooth equipped Garmin product? I am looking for suggestion on bluetooth headsets that will allow me to here the navigation voice prompts, MP3 and phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Motorola has a bluetooth device that attaches to the outside of a helmet, has an earpiece and a microphone. The reviews I have seen say it works pretty well.

I have a Tom Tom Rider on my FJR. It is blue tooth equipped and comes with a helmet earset for receiving audio from the GPS.

I have tried the Motorola Blue Tooth unit that plugs into the earphone jack on the phone. The kit comes with an earpiece that has the Blue Tooth/wireless feature. I thought I might be able to put it in my ear and then put the helmet on but it didnt fit inside of the helmet with my fat head I guess. It was a good plan though. I have a LG phone that I keep in the tank bag. It would have been great to be able to make this plan work.

I hope the New Garmin GPS will work with the Chatterbox setup. I'm checking into it........ B)

When I ride I hate to be bothered with the rest of the world. Therefore I turn my phone off and only use it if I need to make a call. No need to ruin a perfectly good ride with nagging phone calls.........

I dont really care about using the phone. What I really want to do is listen to my iPod and have the ability to hear the voice prompt from the navigation system.

BMW came out with a bluetooth helmet. Haven't seen it in person.

I have been running a Scala Rider B/T headset for nearly a year. It works VERY well, but isn't stereo--that's my only problem with it. I have an IPAQ and the PDA can double as an MP3 player, even a video player--PERFECT for those long night-time trips! :lol:

Actually, there's a product for PDAs called Pocket DVD Studio that allows you to rip movies to be able to run them on a PDA--they can be as little as 128M and you can get 6 movies on a 1g SD chip. On a long plane flight my kid and I watched LOTR--with a headphone splitter so we could both get the sound.

You can watch the movies on the PC as well but the picture will be the size of the PDA!

BTW, I only rip DVDs for the PDA that I already own.
