Hi Guys ,
Apart from Autocom , are there any other hardwired biker/pillion systems on the market?

I think Bluetooth technology is so advanced these days that the notion of a hardwired system seems unnecessary. I used to have autocom on my GTR but when you consider some Bluetooth communication systems can not only pair with multiple other units of a different brand, on a different bike but that they also work over a mile apart (in ideal conditions) this has to be the way forward.

Im happy with how the blue tooth ones work but its a pain making sure they are charged up before a ride and charging up each night when on a tour . We like to run ours on an open mic as never really liked the vox but on a wireless system this kills the batteries.
I bought a new autocom  last Year after our 20 yr old one packed in. Ive only just fitted it and discovered that there is a fault on one of the channels . Autocom have ceased trading so im stuck with it . £306 . However i have filed a section 75 dispute .

We use Cardo Packtalk Bold and I am able to run a charging cable and plug it in whilst riding. Having said that they hold a good charge anyway.
