Default Wireless BT capability on BOOM 6.5 Premium

Since HD conveniently omitted the capability of having full duplex BT in the stock BOOM infotainment systems (2015+), I have been going blind trying to find a workaround.

Currently, I use a combination of items – my own concoction of tech - just to listen to the audio. I got an EPS-Y1 Adapter 7-pin from eGlideGoodies, plug a cheap BT transmitter and use simple BT earbuds (both use batteries with about 4 hours playtime). But, I am really hoping to find a solution for 2-way capability that will allow me to toss the mondo, physical cord connection that is needed for intercom and CB.

I cannot believe there is absolutely NO tech out there that will let me use 2-way voice though the BOOM system wirelessly.

Any suggestions?

I got one of these; works like a charm. I were a half-helmet and crank the sounds up to 90% so it was a good option.

As far as I can tell here is the definitive answer on what is available for BT and headsets.
.
The short answer is they tell you how to, but are less than positive about the results.

I do not trust anything that guy says. Most of the time he only gives you a hint then wants you to buy the video. I do not like that; of course I do not like cops that ride HD's very much either. Jus my .02$

It is smaller than it looks on the ebay pics. However, my eyes are not as good as before my stints in the SandBox.

What the dude in the video DOESN'T get is that people who are riding with a Sena, they are communicating with other bikes...

I'll stick with my Sena, listen to a music/mapping system (my phone) that actually works and be able to talk to my riding group.
