Northwarks Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I installed the Peltor rally intercom system - its great for long runs out with a passenger so you can actually have a conversation, I've also made a cable to listen to my iPhone music (in mono) and listen to map directions. Runs off a 9v battery and there's an adapter you can buy that runs it off 12v , which in my opinion is worth every penny. I did have to experiment with wind socks with the doors off, ended up with wind tape and a mic sock which eliminates all but the worst wind noise.

B.RAD Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Am I right in thinking Dave (OP) wants these to fit in a helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959grantura Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I think the BT option is going to be the best , I quite like the idea of the autocom kit giving you loads of options and spares but for what I want to spend its pretty old wired to each other kit which I think the novelty will soon wear off. Thanks everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Shep Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Which autocom W Shep? Sorry for the late reply. Mine's a 200 kit if I remember rightly. I paid around £200 for it at the time, about 8 - 9 years ago and still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 200 kit I was looking at went for £41 the lot So just to confirm it's works with driver carrying the main box then passenger is tethered to you ?

Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just been into my local Aldi and they have bike jobbies, very similar to the ones Castlecroft suggested, at £29.99 each. No idea what they are like, of course, but thought I would mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.RAD Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I went for the Bluetooth over that version because the reviews on Amazon weren't great and you still have to plug into a box, so you're effectively tethered to each other. The Bluetooth ones are wire free (apart from the speaker wires, obvs!). Bit more expensive, but I've found the battery life excellent - lasted a whole day on track, the quality is great and the sound is spot on, even over the engine and wind noise at track speeds.

Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Is this the one in Chelmsford? I was in Lexden at the time Kev, opposite our showroom in London Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main box can be powered by battery or wired into the ignition (as mine was), then two leads off which plugged into the sockets I fixed to our helmets.
