Been back to Barrie Robson today, they agreed to upgrade the 220 to a 660, the volume of which I find far superior. I would like to thank all at Robson's for their co-operation and assistance in fitting the 660 so that I could ride away with it in use. They have provided excellent advice and service on both Garmin and Autocom products. Glad you got sorted Dave and it is nice to hear of good customer service. |

Just spoken to Paul at Autocom, (01480 399501), he has recommended that I use Aux 2 socket not Aux 1 on the Active-PLUS main control unit.
Once again, the customer service has been first class.
Apparently the new range of Autocom products are an improvement on previous models and volume outputs are better.

With the help of Jondc and Shirley, we have confirmed that the new Autocom Logic Kit L-1 Rider system gives a better volume output than my old Active-PLUS. Looks like another trip down to York for a new unit. |

Before investing in a new unit dave why not consider something like this? cpc.farnell.com/jsp/displayProduct.jsp?sku=AV19072&CMP=e-2072-00001000 all you would need is an adapter from the current autocom unit to swap it from the 8pin headphones to a standard 3.5mm jack and your own headphones. If your intrested i can do a bit of chasing about and see if it would work, might save you a few bob |

What stranger says. I'm sure you can get in line amplification devices for the autocom. I'm on the mobile but will have a dig about later.

I'm confused.com.
Jondc has kindly loaned us his Logic unit.
We had a short test ride with it today and will continue to evaluate it further.
Autocom offer optional accessories, I cannot see any amplification devices, and would not necessarily want to go down the route of additional equipment/leads etc.
Perhaps if you want to spend more money, you buy a Super Pro Automatic.
With this unit, the headsets have an ambient noise sensor which automatically adjusts the volume to compensate for wind noise.
Shirley and I both agree that without this automatic feature, we would not want the volume any louder at slow speeds, therefore would need to accept what is available at higher speeds.
At the end of the day, I may have a redundant Active-PLUS unit for someone to play about with.

If you want to use IN EAR speakers, Autocom do an extension lead to convert from their 7-pin systems to the more common 3.5mm stereo plug.
One thing to remember is that the boom microphone (for helmet to helmet or phone use) works on the 7-pin system. A headset is available which combines both 7-pin for mic and 3.5mm plug for IN EAR speakers.
I like to use ear plugs to protect my hearing from wind noise, therefore will use in helmet speakers rather than IN EAR speaker.
I believe that moulded ear plugs with speakers are available.

Craig, the Autocom Super Pro Automatic with the ambient noise sensor would probably do the same job.
I think we need to trial the Logic which Jondc has lent us and see how we get on.
I appreciate all the input and advice, thanks.

To be honest dave the ambient noise sensor will be far better, i just have a habit of "Ghetto rigging" my electronic to get the job done

Sennheiser CX300 in ear phones do a good job of isolating outside sounds, so they double up as earplugs and headphones.
