    Default What is needed to allow driver to passenger coms?

    If I get the BRP helmets with coms built in, will that work? If not, what else is needed? Should I just go bluetooth?

    Wow, I would say so. I saw a thread on some bluetooth earlier today. One question. I am assumming they are universal and can be used on any helmet. Say my buddy has a different brand one, can we communicate bike to bike?

    In addition to the comm helmets (or the communications headsets), you will need the CB & Communications System P/N 219400145, and the Entertainment Harness P/N 219400201. You also need to have the AM/FM Radio installed. There are agood ftermarket alternatives, but they are not integrated to the Spyder audio system.

    Check out:

    http://www.cardosystems.com/scala-rider/scala-rider-g4

    My wife and I both have the Scala Rider G4 and they work wonderfully! .....and if you shop around online you can get them for one heck of a lot less than what BRP wants for their intercom. If you really need a CB, go that route, but if a CB's not essential I wouldn't go in that direction. Best of luck!!

    In the case of the folks I ride with our bluetooth systems don't talk with each other but we have handsfree on our cells so we communicate through the helmet via cell phones

    My wife and I have been using the Scala 2 for a few months. They work great and the only drawback is that when you start talking it takes a second or two to connect. It is best to speak or blow into the mike first to "wake it up".

    I got the Cardo Scala G4 Powerset. SWMBO and I are very pleased. Easy conversation when 2 up on the road.

    She is still practicing for her MCL in the school parking lots and we are in comm the whole time. Even picked up the iPod thru it (ZZ Top has some great road music).

    Yes, you can use them on virtually any helmet. assuming the helmet has room for the speakers.
    No. The bluetooth protocols are different among the manufacturers.
