I have a Schuberth M1 helmet with the SRC System. The Schuberth SRC is made by Cardo. It linked perfectly with by Boom and my phone. I can listen to music through my speakers or the helmet. I don't like talking on the phone but if my wife call from the office, it is usually an emergency and I can answer the call or use Siri to send a text message back hands free.
When you say it linked perfectly with the "Boom" system can you give more detail. I assume you can hear the radio, GPS and prompts? Can you give voice commands? What are the limitations with Boom compared to being hard Wired?
Thanks

I can enthusiastically recommend the Sina 20 S unit. It works great for phone calls and it works great for streaming music from my iPhone to the Sina. It also allows me to receive turn by turn instructions from my Garmin GPS unit.

Anyone with the Hogtunes Bluetooth module they may have figured out how to link it with bike to make and recieve phone calls. I also have the garmin gps that is also bluetooth linked but can't seem to figure out the combination of hookup to do this.

I bought a Sena bluetooth, think its Smh-10-10FM for my half helmet mainly for listening to music and rider/passenger intercom. But I do like that it can receive a cell phone call in case my wife had an emergency, and combined with a Sena SMR10 bluetooth adapter it sync'd with my portable Midland CB just fine on yesterdays HOG ride.
Its pretty loud and has decent audio quality, seems well built but have only been using for a month or so. Still trying to figure out how to sync with multiple devices simultaneously ( ex Phone and intercom, etc.). User documentation totally sucks.

We have a Sena 10 but only to talk to each other but never for a phone. We don't answer the home phone unless there's a name...not a city...that we know on the Caller ID. As far as phones go, she carries one when we ride for emergencies.

On my Heritage I applied a Cardi Scala Rider in combination with my bluetooth of my iPhone. One conclusion: a real disaster ! Connections are lost without any reasons, phone calls are not given through, all of a sudden a re-connection appears and has gone again. Cardo blamed iPhone, iPhone blamed Cardo.. Never ever I will use this combination again. I have now a wired connection on my Ultra Limited and never had any problem, disconnection or whatsoever. The bluetooth connection between the BoomBox and my iPhone is fantastic.

I have the Sena 20 s love it for rider passenger communication and bike to bike. Wish it didn't need freewire to hook to bike. Catch up HD. Could be a software fix if they would allow it.

You can touch the SRC audio button which then you can say text whoever and then speak your text or tell your phone to call someone and it will call as normal.
Hope this helps.
