Is anybody using Apple Iphone with a bluetooth headset on bikes?
Today i have just been asked what headsets are compatible and actually work.? I have been online and seen whats available. But has anyone got first hand experience before the trial and error sitiuation. ::)
I know the Scala systems work well but not sure with Iphones.... ? all the reviews say they work great but no mention of the Apple Iphone working with it..
Just thought id pick your brains.... :P
Do Iphones still work at all?
I thought they all stopped working the moment Jobs got ill..... ;)
Be a lover not a hater Mr Fly! ;D Im guessing your stuck in a contract :P with another inferior and unsophisticated phone.. ;D i dont believe your alone... :P :P :P :P ;D
I use one on the bike in a waterproof mounted holder for satnav, but dont use the bluetooth headset with it
I have seen them waterproof casings.... Will have another look.
Mine was about £8 from amazon - it's brilliant and has lasted through really heavy rain on the IOW trip
Just looking at the water and shock proof ones.... Im on the case.... CHEAP jokes never get old..
lol :P
Would be interested in knowing how I would be able to charge my phone from my bike, not worried about running a satnav tho
12v outlet with a phone car charger will do it. Thats how my phone stays charged when im using my route recorder. It eats the battery otherwise.
Haha, I had an Iphone. Now I have the HTC. When my contract runs out again, I'll be sticking with HTC ;)Quote:

I know what you mean, im not the biggest fan of itunes but it all works well when i do use it. no complaints. I do hear good things about the HTC when i the iphone gives up i will have alook aroud at them... :D
Riding a bike means I don't have to answer the phone. Why would anyone want a headset? ::)

Apparently, growing evidence suggests that engaging in coversation while driving is as much as a distraction as holding a mobile phone. :-/ ::)
if everyone was the same life would be boring...
i agree but also understand... :P
Maybe if they were all the same as you... lol :P
Only joking of course matey! ;D
I love this forum........ ::)
I use iphone in one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iPHONE4-3G...ht_1420wt_1270
It keeps it dry but does get a bit of condensation which i dry out when the weather gets really nasty.
Charge it using data cable and one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Belkin-Mic...item4cfac1964a
Via a 4 way cigi socket i've wired in. Also charge my other phone and runs the on board video camera.
Bluetooth connects through a garmin zumo 660 to scala rider fm. you can also use the iphone with scala without going through the sat nav

And I said to the Mrs it's important we wear ear-plugs too... ;)
Did you she get upset when you said you meant off the bike, to block out the nagging? ;DQuote:
