Los precios de todas formas son un poquitin exagerados deberian de ajutarlos un poco para el bolsillo de todo el mudo, porque lo que no es justo es llevar 2000€ solo en cascos y bluetooth. Gracias, y a disfrutar............... tengo la version anterior y va bien, tanto el audio del telefono como el de ipod, lo que no consigo es que se conecten al mismo tiempo, sabeis si con el nuevo pasa lo mismo, tenia entendido que el que yo tengo tenia cuatro canales, el nuevo los trae tambien.

It works great with the phone but getting music has been a problem - until now. The helmet supports A2DP bluetooth headphone profile. I tested it with some bluetooth dongles but found they had a short battery life and didn't reconnect properly after taking a phone call. Just bought a Samsung YP-T9B bluetooth MP3 player. All problems solved. The MP3 player connects to the helmet in stereo. Helmet turns off the headphone profile when a call comes in and the the MP3 player is smart enough to keep trying to reconnect and re-establishes connection after the call. Helmet battery life is a bit low when using with MP3 player as its on all the time - equivalent of 3 hrs phone call. I've got about 3hrs reliably - but am looking at an on bike charger or something. I've surfed the net for ages trying to find what can work and not many have succeeded. If you want two way radio comms through the helmet you should look at albrecht BPA100. It uses headset profile just like a phone would. Problem is this wont work with phone at same time but solution is to use a wired phone headset into BPA100 along with radio. The WCS-1 works with the Samsung YP-T9B MP3 player. Just dont use the helmet in heavy rain. I understand BMW have withdrawn the WCS-1 from the market due to technical issues with water. Too bad if you wanted a second helmet for an intercom any time soon. This is a great gadget.
