When both rider and passenger have their headsets bluetooth to the boom radio how is rider to passenger communication achieved, is it via the boom radio or is it through the headsets (as if they were not connected to the boom radio)?

 

Good question. I just installed the WHIM on my bike about an Hr ago. I'll get the flash done Wednesday and start experimenting.

 

It is through the boom by default. If the passenger wants different music, don't link it to the boom just their phone. Then you can link the two headsets to each other directly.

 

to each other, you can turn the bike off and your still connected to each other and can talk.

 

When they are both connected to the boom radio, you have to use the intercom setup.

 

Is it controlled with the vox? Can you still use the ptt button?

 

we don't have to do anything, just talk. I don't even know where the PTT button is? lol

 

so the channel is open at all times, you just talk over music etc

 

Channel is not open all the time. It is voice activated and controlled by settings under intercom menu.

 

Either, we have found it best to shut down the Boom function rider/passenger and use headset. Of course your needs may very.
In the head set setting having the back round music disabled not keep playing in the back also works better for us.
In setting for head set you will see Intercom-Audio Overlay Sensitivity You can choose between 6 levels or disable it.
You may wish to adjust some of the setting to fit your needs.
