Is it safe to say that Senna products are now the norm for communications? Whatever happened to Starcom and Autocom? I STill have my Autocom and works great. Just looking for the latest technology.
Thanks

Very nice. Congrats on the Farkle. Did you purchase it in the US or U K.?I just bought the new version of the autocom, http://autocom.co.uk/motorcycle-communication-systems.html
I'm not having any issues with it. It worked great on my trip a couple of months ago for communicating between Justin and Dave and piping in my MP3 music from my Garmin. I also have the bluetooth adapter for connecting to my phone, which works just fine.
I use a combination of unit's to make sure that never happens. I bought the dual unit so my pillion is happy. And on days she is along the 10+hr battery life is plenty long for our time in the saddle. On solo trips where I might run longer distance on a day, I bring both and just swap headsets at lunch.One thing that bugs me the most is having batteries die on me. So everything I have is "plugged in" to the bikes power...
With my stuff all plugged in, I don't have to worry about any of it...I use a combination of unit's to make sure that never happens. I bought the dual unit so my pillion is happy.

Both headsets are paired to my phone at the beginning of the trip. In the morning both of the headsets are full charged. I ride the first half of day on headset A. When I stop for lunch I swap yo headset B and place headset A on the charger in my topbox. When I arrive at camp that night. Headset A is charged back to full and headset B goes on the charger. If you don't have a charger to use while sitting static at camp you can wait till the morning and charge headset B while using headset A during the morning ride.
If you don't have dual headsets, you can add a boost charge while you stop for lunch. And... if that doesn't work... you can always run a cable up your jacket and charge while you are riding/using it. Before I thought of carrying both headsets and swapping mid-day I carried a small USB battery pack and would put it in my top jacket pocket with a short cable to charge me up. So I was wireless from the bike but wired to my jacket.
And with me not being plugged into the bike I don't have to worry about cables and plugs when I get on or off the bike.With my stuff all plugged in, I don't have to worry about any of it...
:th1:
Huh?! Why should that be "the norm"?Is it safe to say that Senna products are now the norm for communications?
Ditto...One thing that bugs me the most is having batteries die on me. So everything I have is "plugged in" to the bikes power...
Had a pair of 10's, now I have the 20.earching for feedback on the Sena 20s, in particular....
That is the main reason I like the autocom system. No Batteries!!Louis, I can't remember...it was probably back in June when I bought it. And I can't find my info.

So there you go.. buy the Sena and just leave it wired to the bike... Call it a hybrid system. :chrfl1:Sena 10...luv it and you can plug it in to charge/use at the same time.
Are earplugs illegal too?I believe Tom is correct about the earbuds and Sena, but not applicable here in Florida--using earbuds while riding is illegal.
