Sorry for not reading this thread sooner. As you know I have tried SEVERAL phones with the BT module. Yes, the 755p works! The only draw back is that the radio will not display your phonebook. However, in the 755p it will display your speed dial numbers. The speed dial page on a typical 755p should have 59 available buttons. I have all of mine filled with the most frequently used numbers (Chip's is # 1). When there is an incoming call that is not in the list it will still display the caller ID. One note of mention: someone has suggested to leave the unit in the TP and run a power cord in there. I don not recommend you do this. You will need access to the phone while riding. If a call is missed or a voicemail is left, the screen does not go back to the "ready" position. In order for the BT to work, the phone must be in that "ready" state.

Hope this helps,

AJ

So in your opinion, is Harley's Bluetooth module worth the $500+. Would you purchase it today based on our experience. How is the sound quality. I know it is a must to use a headset arrangement. Are you using Harley's or someone else's

Appreciate any suggestions or tips you have. I'm one the fence thinking about spending the money for the BT module.


thanks

It's worth it for me - I know most guys love to escape from the phone on their bike, but I'm a one man business, and I need to be contactable by my customers; after all, it's them who pay for my bike!   I would purchase it today, no question.

Sound quality is fine - people at the other end have no idea you're on the bike even, and I can have easy conversations travelling at 85mph on the freeway.  I've always (up till now) used the Harley headset that came with the bike, but next season I'll be using a J&M headset, which I've bought during the closed season.

It's expensive though, but it does integrate fully and properly with the HK Audio, so I'd say if your need to have it makes it worth it for you, go right ahead!

No question about it. As Jim said, I also am a one man wrecking crew. The BT module has allowed me to take the bike on trips where I would otherwise have to take the cage to be in communication. My customers & suppliers can call and never know I'm on the bike.

I would purchase it again. Order it from Jenni @ Charlie's HD 304-523-1340 and get the 20% discount. I installed it myself and as most on this site can tell you, wrenches & me don't get along.

Everyone on this site told me to getr the J&M headset before I even bought my bike. I had then wire it into a Nolan 102 helmet (a whole nother thread).

I have used a handheld microphone & bike speakers to talk on the phone. The only problem it that you have to key the mike to talk. But that's getting off subject.

I hope that helps you make the decision,
AJ

O,K, - I'm convinced to go for it. I appreciate everyones input here. One last question, I understand the BT module occupies the rear Tour Pak. How much space and no problem with the linear right?

Now comes the point where you're going to need insight & tips!

Instead of putting mine in the TP and wasting space, I decided to put it under the fairing. I will have some extra feet of wiring to contend with but it's worth it to save space in the TP. There is a picture of mine in here somewhere if you do a search.

In the leather tour pak, there's a raised rectangular area in the liner, on the left hand side, below the hinge.  It sits in there quite nicely, though it does raise the liner off the wall of the tour pak a little.  Some dumb dealer techs never think of that and mount it on the front wall of the liner, and they cut a big chunk out of it, so if you go for having it in the tour pak, and you are not fitting it yourself (it's not that difficult a job though), make sure you tell the guy who's fitting it exactly where to mount it.  See attached pic of mine - you'll see I've also put a cigar lighter socket in there so the phone can sit in the tour pak on charge.

As AJ says, some folks have put them in the fairing, on top of the radio, though I believe space is quite tight there, but it does go, albeit with a load of extra wiring that has to be coiled up.

this is how the dealer installed mine,... That a great idea of of having a outlet in there for charging the phone.

[Hoist!]

Blueteeth anyone?

Hoist!

Interesting!  Put a bit of sensible thought into it, and did NOT follow the instructions it comes with. Must be a good dealer!

One thing not mentioned is that I believe SG has an SEUC3 which has the hard tour pac. You will have more room in there for it but I would still put in the the fairing so as not to loose valuable real estate in the TP.

[sportygordy]

WOW, got more input from everyone then anticipated. Thanks for posting pictures too, even Miss Bluetooth. I think I will opt to install the BT in the fairing as AJ did. I'll probably whack the unwanted cable off an re-conecterize the cable.

Thanks all.
