Cardo scala units work okay and are much cheaper than autocom systems. Can be picked up on eBay - work well with flipups in particular.
I wish they did. There's a reason the Autocom is as expensive as it is - rugged (mine gets a lot of abuse), vox-operated and speed sensitive adjustability on the mic, crystal clear at speed too. Repairable ad nauseam....... Gives the 'oul iPod a whole new lease of life, too
Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

My Scala does speed sensitive volume adjustment, and is crystal clear.
But as you pointed out, it's not very rugged. Have to remove the Bluetooth module in heavy rain.
It's a tight fit, but fits on my Schuberth perfectly.0 -

My scala has worked fine and is very clear, even at speed. Had this conversation with Krusty before, his gives him trouble in the rain but I've left mine on through fairly heavy rain without any problems. Though we use them on different helmets so it could relate to the shape of helmets and how much contact area there is to create a seal, or something like that.0 -

Never knew that! Honest, mine was grand. I went and broke the mic boom though so don't use it now (my fault that, carelessness).
Looking at how it slots into its socket on the helmet, I wondered maybe if the end of the helmet was curved in a particular place, it might allow water to slide down onto the contacts perhaps... so maybe the issue is with certain helmets only... though, you're right, it would be an expensive experiment to prove!0 -

We're heading way off topic, but... I think the problem is water ingress around the charging connections, so if you must use it in heavy rain, maybe consider taping over the charging connection..

The Schuberth C2 seems to be around 320 euro delivered from here. That's a great price. Need to check fittings first.. Hmm.. I'm tempted.0
