UberXY Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I bought a Motorola HF800/820 Bluetooth Handsfree Device on eBay for $10, new in blister pack. I paired it with my Razr, and then plugged the Autocom phone connector to the 800. Went for a little ride with my phone in my pocket - wife gave me a test call and it works perfectly. In fact it works better than the wired connection, as the HF800 actually generates a ring tone to indicate an incoming call. Previously, when I wired the phone directly to Autocom, there was no ring tone - the music would stop and I would hear a voice saying "Hello? Hello?". Total installation time was close to 30 seconds. Once again, price was $10 including a battery charger cord. The Autocom part to do exactly the same thing is about $200. Save some substantial money... Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yup, I've got the same setup. Got the idea off the BMWLT board. I might have paid a little more than $10 for it (I think I paid $13), but it's still cheaper than anyone else's bluetooth adapters. Link to comment
Good_Fixs Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Can you make phone call too while riding? Thanks Link to comment
Heck Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Anybody know how to boost the volume on this setup? I did this about a year ago, but cant get enough volume to hear except while parked...I've tried everything I can think of- even got the guys at top gear involved... I will say this- plugging the phone in directly (without the bluetooth interface) gives pretty much the same result. Tried new cords, etc...no help. (Pro7).. Go figger.... Link to comment
ronest Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hello: I wear the eptymotic earplugs and have no issue with the volume of the hf820; with some of the phone calls, I have to lower the volume at speed. RD Link to comment
Eckhard Grohe Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You guys can get your helmets on with a Blue tooth device on your ear????? Link to comment
John Bentall Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You guys can get your helmets on with a Blue tooth device on your ear????? All this device does is to replace the wire connection from the phone to the Autocom with a bluetooth one. The Autocom headset is unaltered. I was offered a shiny, new BMW System 5 helmet (in the UK of course) with Bluetooth for half price on Sunday - $550 instead of $1100. It doesn't integrate with my Autocom -so I said, "No Thanks!"
