Default Zumo 550 and bluetooth phone connection

OK, I got Zumo 550 mounted and the XM radio antenna hidden and the sound in my Harley headset is terrific! The little lady in the box that tells me where to go is understandable and makes sense (compared to the older lady sitting behind me) but...........
when my bluetooth phone automatically connects to the the ZUMO I can hear the caller but what does it take to speak back through the VOX system on the bike?

I didn't know you could use a Harley helmet on a Gold Wing. I'm curious, with the Zumo and the XM did you have to give up your fax machine?

BTW, how big a lady can you fit into the Lady Box? And what's she used for? Is she a spare in case the one behind you wants to take a break?
