Sierra Smokey Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I just got my brand spankin' new Autocom Super Pro Avi today. I have it all "rough installed" and it works just as advertised. One question. I use custom molded earplug headphones and bought the special headset extension lead (part# 1188) which allows me to use the earplugs. The sound quality is great and I really don't want to install the included speakers in the helmet. Can I just cut the wires to the speakers of the headset and only install the microphone and ambient noise mic? Is there anything special I would have to do once the wires are cut, other than heat-shrink the exposed wires? Much Thanks Link to comment
SAMSAR Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yes. That's what I did. Cut and heat shrink. Works great. Link to comment
VonDawg Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Agreed,ear plugs quiet the long ride as well but I just un-pluged mine, cutting wasn't nessasary. Link to comment

I would have preferred that too but, I didn't have that option on the Super Avi. No speaker disconnects on my headset. What model do you have? I did forget to mention that when I made my cut it was mid-way on the wires so that I would have the option of installing disconnects at a later time. Just haven't done it yet. Link to comment

Fold back one side, THEN heat shrink. This ensures that the exposed ends of the cut wires won't ever possibly touch. Just a little safety trick I learned. Link to comment
WirelessRider Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 great point effbee, you took the keys off my board!! separation I do headsets with removable speakers, you replace with your choice of earbuds. spike Link to comment
Nevets Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Crap! Looks like the price just went up a tad on part number 1188 before I had a chance to buy one. Is $42, was $39. Link to comment
Sierra Smokey Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Yeah... they (autocom) raised the prices on everything effective April 1. Luckily my BMW shop still had it priced at the old price (about $40 cheaper). Link to comment

Some of us still are holding to the old prices until we finish selling the remaining kits we bought before the prices went up. But supplies are limited. Link to comment
