Hello,
I have a 2000 I/S with the intercom, cb, and a mp3 player hooked up to the aux jack. They all work great through J&M headsets in my and my wifes helmets.
I want to add something that adds cell phone capability to the existing setup. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!

I'm not sure on the Hondaline CB /intercom,, but I use a Garmin Zumo550 running through my J&M CB. The cell will connect via bluetooth to the Garmin, and I talk through helmet mic on the phone. I'm not sure if the Zumo will connect to your intercom system. But if it will, then this would be a solution. Hope this helps.

The Weser seems like a good product but I am not adding gps. And I don't want to replace my existing headsets if I don't have to. I'm really looking for an add on to what I already have.
Thanks though!

Not sure, but I think you can just get the cords without the whole headset. Give them a call.

LOL! I was wondering when I'd get this question, thanks for not letting me down.
My drive to work is about 45 minutes, and my wife drives to work an hour in the complete opposite direction and we both leave at the same time. We don't get any time during the day to talk so we normally use our drive home to talk about our day and catch up.
It's sort of our ritual and I thouroughly enjoy it. But days that I ride instead of drive we can't talk right now. As I like talking to her....

Oh, and it's not that much different from talking to her on our headsets when we're riding together...

Oh, and it's not that much different from talking to her on our headsets when we're riding together... I respectfully disagree. There's something different that happens when we're talking on the phone. Maybe it's because the object of our conversation isn't physically with us. Maybe it's because of our efforts to overcome the absence of body language. Perhaps it's just something odd about the way our brains process telephone conversations. Whatever the reason, talking on a cell phone, even with a hands free device, has been demonstrated to be in the category of distracted driving along with drinking and texting. I won't do it and I'd hope you won't either.

I really don't know how to answer that... other than to say thank you for your input. I'll give it some thought.

Focus Driven I think context matters a lot. As a long haul semi driver, I do not think it is as distracting to me as to some. But, for some reason it is MORE distracting than talking on the CB. Where you are matters a lot. If I am out here on the lonely stretches west of the Mississippi River, where I can sometimes go for miles without seeing another car, I do not believe it matters much if I am on the phone. If the phone rings while I am in LA, or similar traffic, I pick it up just long enough to tell them I will call back when safe. When in traffic, very bad to be talking away. Traffic requires 100% concentration. However, when out of traffic, straight road, no problems, you are not using 100% to drive safe. Context, training, situation, all matter very much. Do not get me onto texting though. That is MUCH worse, IMHO. MP |

I completely understand and concur with BigRig's and Willow's thoughts on being on a phone while riding.
I must really be an old fart because I don't even understand the need/desire to play music while riding a bike. I find blaring music from speakers on a bike to be a bit offensive (same as when I can hear music from a car. I like my taste in music-why do some feel the need to force feed their taste to me?

I have the Garmin Zumo 550. It will blue tooth the phone and Phone to your headset. We enjoy the XM radio that is also in the 550.

Alll good points.. Thank you all for your comments. As for the newleywed thing, no, we've been married for 15 years. And I still get excited every time I hear her voice.
I'm not one to text while driving, I agree that is stupid and dangerous. But I live in rural upstate NY and am on slow moving roads for most of my trip. I have hands free bluetooth in my car and luckily have never once had an issue with talking. I do listen to music while riding, as well as talking on the cb when riding with groups... I'm sorry that our thought processes differ but I really don't see the difference.

CB conversations are the same as verbal txting, very short. Phone conversations similar in nature to a face to face comversation, that do use more of your thought processing, that automatically leads to less focus. You tend to focus on your conversation on the phone rather than the task at hand.
Try watching an educational television show and have an indepth conversation on the phone. Then try to explain what you watched during that conversation. You might pick up tid bits here and there, but you miss most of it.
No sit behind the wheel or worse handlebars, there are more than cages to worry about and see when riding...
Be careful, be smart...
I alos enjoy conversations with my wife, I would rather have a life time worth of conversations with her after I get off my bike. Just my 2 cents...
