Jim,

I wasn't aware they weren't going after the HK market.

When I asked him about the HK audio, when I got my first one he said they had no plans to develop a device for that, but looking at the site now, I see they have introduced this device: http://www.cellset.com/multigps.html  which it says is suitable for '06 on HD systems - I must be stupid though, because I can't work out from that page what you need or how much it costs!

Hello Jim,
I had heard that a device like that was available through J & M.... for the Goldwing.  It was an interface that put it all together.  Perhaps J & M might have some insight, before the wheel gets reinvented.  I am interested.

Lots of Goldwing stuff around, Ron - not so much for Harleys though, and less for '06 on Harleys! Cellset stuff has always been mainly for wings, too.

Cheers,

Jim

Yes, thanks Chief.  We'd hope that it will be very substantially less, and much simpler to install, than Cellset's price.

We were considering making the device increase volume with speed, but I doubt that's necessary?  My TomTom has that feature already, so am I correct in assuming the Garmin range does too?

Jim

I don't think the Garmins do that Jim. I have had my 2610 for a couple of years now and am not aware of that facility. Not sure about the new Zumo though.

Thanks Nige.  Anyone know about the Zumo?

Thanks Nige.  Anyone know about the Zumo?

Jim

Have read trhough the tech spec on the Garmin website and it doesn't mention anything about the Zumo having the facility either.

Anyone else know different ??

Thanks Nige.  Anyone know about the Zumo?

Jim

To my knowledge there is no Auto Volume Control on the Zumo. Since I have mines hooked up to my radio via the Aux plug and the radio itself has the AVC then it takes care of ambient noise levels.

Thanx d00d - I guess we best include AVC then.

I don't have it in hand at the moment, but the 2820 does have a setting for automatic volume control relative to speed...I would assume the Zumo does as well.  I can't even remember how I got there on the screen, but the option is there.

Equons...I'm not real clear on what you are trying to accomplish here.  I have an additional AUX input on the back of my HK radio (thanks to hd-dude) with the 3.5mm stereo output jack from my 2820 fed into that jack instead of the one on the front of the unit.  Voice commands can come through my J&M headsets or through the speakers, depending on Switch position.  With HK in AUX mode, voice commands from the Garmin, and music from it's MP3 player feed through the AUX input.  Voice commands override the MP3 when needed.  I'm sure I'm missing something in what you're talking about doing here, so enlighten me further, please.

What there is a market for, IMO, is something to integrate, with STEREO output, the Bluetooth capability that comes with the new Garmin units (both listening and talking), a good quality set of helmet speakers (don't have to be Bose, but at least as good as J&M's....better would be better), a good microphone, and make it all work without being tethered to the bike with a cord to the helmet.  For both rider and passenger.

Make something that will do that, and I'd pay good money for it, particularly if the headsets were high quality, at least approaching the level of home type units.  I very rarely listen to music or Garmin voice commands through the bike's speakers any longer.  But, I wear a Nolan full face 98% of the time, as does my passenger.

Thanks for that - what your missing is that I want to overcome the shortcomings of connecting the audio input via the AUX socket; i.e. you do that, and it's byebye to radio/CD/XM listening.  I want to be able to have my music come from ANY source, and STILL hear the GPS voice commands.

My Cingular/Blackberry phone has Telenav GPS and it's $10 per month.  Works with my bluetooth headset so I have no need for another thing to hang on the bike.

Yes, my PDA has GPS, and Bluetooth too - but on an Ultra (or a CUSE) you aren't going to be using a bluetooth headset, are you?

I see, said the blind man...

If that could be done, it would be a nice feature to have.

We're pretty certain it can be done, without too much difficulty.

I'm on a SEEG, not an Ultra
