If you have an RT you can plug out from the rear I pod port into a Cardo Scala system to get sound into your helmet using the cord that comes with Scala system.

A better plan is to put the Pandora App on your I phone and then pair the phone to the Bluetooth enabled Scala system. That way you can program your own music to run through the helmet with no wires.
 
I have a scala rider system and love it. mine actually has a built in fm radio and I like to listen to a particular morning show on the way to work and I can also bluetooth to my android phone and listen to all the music I have stored on it if I want to. I got the scala rider g4 powerset which comes with to units and allows you to communicate between the 2 units when riding.

On my Spyder RT -S SE5 2010 MODEL

I used an Autocom Part No 2275 -Which connects into the speaker leads of the Can-Am speakers (Use posi-taps)
The rear speaker leads are easier to get to on the RT
This allows you to switch the Radio/Ipod output to the 3.5mm lead supplied on Part No 2275
This is a Male 3.5mm Plug - I then used a Male to Male 3.5mm Connector and on the other end of the connector
I plugged in a SONY Bluetooth transmitter Sony TMR-BT10 - This is just paired to my Sena SMH-10 Headset
You should be able to pair this to the Cardo Scala system in the same way

If you can't get Autocom products Try Starcom the part no's required to acheive the same system is
SWT-01 and MUS-01 -You will still need a Bluetooth transmitter and I recommend the Sony TMR-BT10



Hope this is helpful

Sena is coming with a solution !

I have a Sena SMH10 BT helmet system. It works great. The method you outlined works well. A friend of mine and I came up with basically the same thing. However, Sena is coming out with a hub that will allow you to connect the 3.5mm connection from your RT's audio (Garmin/Cell, AM/FM, IPod, NOAA, Satellite) to this hub along with any other BT devices (accepts multi A2DP profiles) and it will also allow more than one headset to be paired with it. Both rider and passenger can pair, enjoy the BT intercom, rider to rider communications and full handlebar control of RT's audio system. The best part is it works with all bluetooth helmet systems !!! Yay...finally someone's thinking outside the box !!

Here it the link: http://www.senabluetooth.com/products/sm10.php?tab_menu=overview . It is due out about now...May 2012, but not available as of this post.

The Sony webpage says that the TMR-BT10 is no longer available. There appear to be other choices ... my question is, how many scala's can be paired to one transmitter? I.e. can the passenger and driver both be paired at the same time?

If you use the Sena hub

If you choose to use the Sena hub, which will cost about $150, it is not just a transmitter. Both the rider and passenger can both pair to the hub and get whatever audio is playing on the RT e.g. Garmin paired with cell phone, Ipod from trunk, Satellite, AM/FM, NOAA, etc. Then you can pair additional BT and non-BT devices to the hub via an additional audio line in and more BT devices paired to it. I am not sure of the limit, but a Sena engineer said it breaks down the A2DP profile where you used to be able to only pair one device at a time. This allows multiple pairings to the hub and everything on the hub is one single pairing to the headset. Scala, Sena, Blue Ant, etc. headsets should all work with this hub, I am told.:clap:
