I had one too and didn't care for it. I think the better way to go is the Autocom or J&L. More expensive. But much better.

.........only one cable upto helmet from tankbag[unplugs][DP one is only about 2inches high,good for wetweather gear ,wallet,plus radio and ipod !!]..two wires out of bag. one is antennae other goes to bars for talk switch[unplugs].......speed wise depends on helmet but have soumy spec1r,which is noisier than my shoei and it works quite fine upto 140ks.also neck warmer helps cut noise down.not much for reasons chatting incestantly on !!,could stay at home and listen to wife !!,dont tell her i said that. but good for cops, speed cameras ,directions,if theres a group of you. and road hazards/roadkill.use ipod connections all the time[can just fit in jacket pocket].the rest only for 500k plus runs/days/week away.eg.motogp/turismo/ndr etc.hj

I have the blue tooth chatterbox, and it's an awesome unit. No kidding! I've only got a few hundred miles into mine, since only one of my friends has one.....but seriously, I plug my I pod into the audio in (I control my ipod with an rf remote mounted to my front brake master cylinder), my phone is paired to it, it's simple to attach and route the speakers and mic.
Also, it's super easy (less than 1 minute) to remove the whole deal from my helmet if I choose to. Answer calls, music is cut off when a call comes in, or when you're communicating with someone. Definitely useless with voice activation...you can get close to "ok" results with vox, but it's a hassle.....and too often one rider's mic stays on. In that scenario, everyone else is blocked since you can only receive or transmit (not both). Full duplex will work for a passenger and the pilot in a two up scenario. But it's a one way street for bike to bike.
Range was incredible. Sure they say 5 miles...but hey, if I can talk to my partner a mile away in canyons....then it's a good unit. "It's a good unit". The one drawback for me is, if you want to talk....you have to hit a button on your helmet, or use the remote "push to talk button". It's not a big deal. But, If the unit was full duplex, all the time.....you'd never have to hit any PTT button. That's my 4 cents.

I have the Scala Q2 set. Comes with two. Havent tried it yet but got sweet reviews. 150 bucks...will work with mp3 player, gps phone and talking between your fellow riders. Think you can also talk with more than one other person you just have to sinc them with eachother before you leave for the ride
