marcopolo Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Lots of people have installed Autocom (intercom/music/GPS/phone/bike-to-bike capable). Not CB, however. It's all in the "Bike Related Things" section, not here in "Hexheads". Link to comment
Mudman Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have the J&M unit the BMW system is based upon. It has worked really well for a year now. The CB works great, the intercom hasn't been used except when I checked it after installation. I use the J&M as an amplifier for my XM Roady receiver with the J&M Helmet speakers. I don't have the factory Radio/CB. I do enjoy the included NOAA weather receiver as a bonus. If you are looking for CB communications this is a good bet. If you buy the system through Sierra Electronics you will save a ton of money over the identical BMW branded unit. The only thing is you will have to do is fabricate your own antenna mount (not a big deal) or use an antenna adapter that will use your factory radio antenna with some loss of range. I have been pleased with the durability and quality of this unit. Link to comment
