How do you have your GPS setup with intercom?
After sifting through about a gazillion GPS threads, I was not really able to find what I am after.
I'm going to describe what I would like my GPS and intercom to do, and tell me if this is possible.
If it is, and you are doing it, please let me know how so. The wife wants to get me (a.k.a. us) a GPS for the scoot, but I need to make sure I purchase one that will work with an intercom setup in the manner I wish.
So....Ideally, here is what I am after.
We plan on getting a Bluetooth intercom setup for rider to passenger communications. Not sure on what model/brand yet.
This would not interface with the Harley setup at all. I plan on listening to the FM/CD music on the stock stereo (no bluetooth, no XM model). While cruising, I would like the GPS to provide the audbile directions/warning through my bluetooth intercom setup.
What do I need to make this happen? With the price of these units, I want to make sure I get one that works in the manner I wish.
Obviously, I'll need a GPS with bluetooth capability but I am curious as to pairing and so forth.
Oh, I also do not intend to make or receive phone calls while puttin' along. So, no issues there.
Muchos gracias for any information provided.

The Scalla pairs up with the GPS & provides *the rider only* with GPS voice. It also provides an intercom connection between rider & passenger. Rider & passenger can talk at normal voice levels until the GPS needs to give information. At that point the GPS takes priority & breaks the intercom connection. The break lasts a few seconds after the command & can completely stop intercom function for a few minutes if you're in an area requiring several consecutive turn commands.
We've used the units for nearly a year & found them to be ideal. The interuptions are tollerable & necessary. The batteries are easy to recharge with two leads from a single small transformer & battery life has been more than ample to supply all the communication we could use on 10 & 12 hour days.

RE: How do you have your GPS setup with intercom?
Why would you want to use a bluetooth system for an intercom when you already have one built into the Harley system? If you want to listen to your CDs they can be copied onto an SD memory card and played thru the MP3 player in the GPS unit. That way you can store up to 4 MB of music to choose from instead of the single CD in the radio. The navigation prompts will pause the MP3 when they are given.

Is it possible to connect the audio out from a GPS to the Aux input on the bike's stereo? Does this work?

What Wecroft said.... The aux input level was to quiet on mine, so I added a "Boostaroo Revolution" in line amplifier. Works great now..
