Bluetooth earpiece for sat nav?

[blakeatron]

My local car parts store manager and good friend rang me today and said they were getting the new Garmin's in and did I want the last one of the old 500's.

I wasn't too sure but when he offered it to me for £250 with a carkit and 12month warranty - I got it he is dropping it off on sunday!

Anyway now I need a bluetooth earpiece thing - any recomendations? I normally wear the in-ear spongy earplugs and so was wondering if there was anything I could get and still use the earplugs?

I would suggest a cardo scala rider headset, its what I use.

And it is what Dan recomended too - scala q2 it is!

If it has the bike mount then you can plug your headphones into it and play mp3's with the directions over the top of the music.

yes mate its the Q2, it has a MP3 cable and a radio. Dan and I both use them - top kit.

Well just ordered a tomtom rider - and it comes with a basic scala so I am happy for now.

Sent the Garmin back as it was a rubbish!

I definitely recommend the Cardo scala rider q2 as well. I have a regular scala rider which came with my tomtom rider v2, but I recently upgraded to a q2 duo kit for riding with my wife.

I've used tyre - it is awesome. Unfortunately, although I loved the tomtom (the rider was my second tomtom satnav), I had nothing but trouble with it charging on the bike and gave up after my second new cradle for my bike. I retired it to my car and got a zumo 550 which has performed flawlessly under all conditions.

I also chose the scala rider q2 set over my original bike to bike set up of an autocom with kenwood radios (and a push to talk setup on my wife's bike). The scala rider setup basically is just a lot less hassle with longer lasting batteries, lighter weight and cheaper than the premium radio setup I have.

Willow and I got the scarla Q2 to replace our starcom1 intercom.

I dont have the problem of the tomtom charging as I just use the 4-5 hour batt life and dont charge it off the bike.
