Helmet Bluetooth

[Lurch]

Evening all, multitude of questions all linked.

I've got a Nolan and a Lazer helmet. Each have their own manufacturer Bluetooth units in, each on different chargers, each I forget to charge, neither talks to anything else that I'm aware of.

So, are there any portable units that can easily be swapped between lids? I'm thinking of using ear buds or IEM moulds if at all possible to avoid moving speakers about, so hopefully there's an easy system to move the unit between helmets.

And then, bearing in mind I'm UK based, which is the most common system in use, and do many systems talk to other manufacturers' systems?

Cheers!

Couple of the sena units have a little mount they slide onto. Think the 20s does it that way. You could see if you can get a extra mount, speakers and mike then just swap the units.

Does it have a 3.5mm output? And how does that attach to the lid?

My Sena 20s unit has an AUX and 3.5mm Headphone port on the clamp (shown in above photo)

It attaches by having a thin piece slide up between the outer shell and inner polystyrene which is then bolted onto the outer piece so that it clamps onto the helmet. It is very sturdy and would probably take about a minute or two to switch between helmets if needed.

+1 for sena 20s.
If the slide piece doesn't work, you can use the adhesive mount.
most helmets have enough room for the clamp style.

It has an intercom protocol that is compatible with other manufacturers.
I know its not compatible with the bargain ones that cycle gear sells however.
