I see here you swapped from the one that Buddy made for you...
Didn't you praise the one that Buddy made for you in some of your posts in the past?
You left Buddy's contact address for us to contact but we had no success with him returning any questions we had or info on when his unit would become available...
So is this one really that much better?

I have been wanting a quality interface to connect the Zumo 550 Bluetooth with my stock Harley headset.
Every now and then something comes around that truly works as described.
I would like to share my experience with you about such a product.
I removed the prior interface that I was using and installed the HD BLUETOOTH BOMM from http://home.comcast.net/~jbissonette1/site/
It arrived within two days of ordering.
SIDE NOTE:
Now I know why they call it a BOMM...I think it looks like a miniature pipe bomb. (GRIN)
Instructions:
http://home.comcast.net/~jbissonette...structions.doc
Installation:
It was a simple installation. Just connect the two wires and the 2.5mm plug that are attached to the BOMM.
Installation Time:
It took me less than 15 minutes.
My Configuration:
Zumo 550, iPhone, stock HD center console and stock HD headset.
The actual device is fairly small and in my case easily fit with no challenges.
In the picture above you can see how small it is in comparison to the 2.5 mm plug.
No switches, no buzzing, no humming, no interference.
Just plain 'ole good clean sound for the caller and receiver.
IMHO - It works GREAT!
Folks that I speak to on the phone don't even know I'm on the bike.
This thing is amazing, inexpensive, crystal clear and easy to install.

Jim stepped up to the plate where Buddy left off and is producing a quality product.

I just installed my Bomm today. I ordered on Wednesday and it arrived today (very fast!)
I had no problems with the install and only one wire needs to be cut and there is not power needed. Very cool. I tried it in the garage today (will try it on a ride tomorrow). This is really slick.
Jim shipped the same day of the order and shot me an email with the tracking as soon as he shipped it.
I looked at other solutions that were overly complex both to use (requires a switch to talk) and needed many wires to connect. This is perfect, could not be better.

P.S. I have no connection to Jim other than a happy customer.

I've had a SG and now the RG, but nothing with a headset before, so I apologize if this is a dumb question - if you turn off the speakers at the console switch, all the audio goes into the headset, right?

Aux Zumo Bluetooth, MP3, HD radio, weather, CD, intercom and CB.
When I push the HD console speaker switch up I get headset audio only.
The center and down position plays audio through the bikes speakers.
Yes, when switched center or down, I can hear the remote callers voice on the bikes speakers.
