Bluetooth cellphone adapter and WT419 headset harness modified to take the bluetooth cellphone adapter
The Bluetooth wireless headset system for Bike to Bike
The logical step is to use a cellphone adapter and bluetooth
headset combination to replace the wire from the radio to
the motorcycle helmet . so i did just that and here is a
couple of examples .
It just so happened that the bluetooth cellphone adapter has a 2.5mm
stereo plug , configured as tip audio out, ring audio
in, and sleeve common.
I could plug this straight into the
WT419 radio mic/earphone socket .( the same connections as a
cellphone ) The handlebar PTT plugs straight into the 3.5mm
socket of the WT419 and the radio mounted on the 'bike. These will pair with the
above BT Motor-Phone

I used the motortalkie bluetooth helmet headset to receive the cellphone adapter , and after "pairing" was able to hear the radio via the wireless bluetooth connection up to 20 feet away !! pair the two units then do a 0.5 sec press the silver button on the cell adapter to initiate contact and in about 10 -20 seconds you will have a connection .
I then modified a standard radio headset harness to accept the
bluetooth cellphone adapter by cutting off the headset cable and
replacing it with an appropriately wired 2.5 mm female socket . This was tested
and found to work well .
I am now looking for suitable inexpensive mono bluetooth
headsets with very good volume / talk time and the facility to plug
in an external motorcycle headset . this means I can have headsets
made to fit the bluetooth helmet unit The only disadvantage I see with
these units is that they are probably going to have to be charged
each night for use the next day .
