If she already has DMS unit, you only need different speakers and an extension cord to use her modular DMS on a BV2S helmet.
We do not expect a lot of interference from outside sources. The Bluetooth is a low output power transmitter, but would be effected by a microwave oven nearby. It is limited to about 10 feet of operating range, so it's receiver is not very sensitive.
The radio will cut out transmission/reception when the phone rings. Unless you are using your phone through a Zumo or TomTom GPS, you do not have to change the channel, or activate the private mode. This is because the GPS's are using an old Bluetooth protocol and do not support streaming stereo, or the new A2DP protocol.
The cell phone cuts everything out, radio (or passenger) transmission/reception cuts out music from either Bluetooth or direct plug in.
The Bluetooth will use more power than the standard plug in, but we are still seeing over 6 hours when using streaming audio.
The Bluetooth will be back in full production by the end of next week.
GTSE, the Collett radios do not work with the Chatterbox units. We are on 900 MHz, where the Chatterbox are on the FRS frequencies in the 450 MHz range.
I've been using a Samsung M610 phone with excellent results. It has a built in MP3 and streaming stereo, as well as the phone. This is an excellent phone for both purposes.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Ryan , do we just call customer support to order the compnents to change the modular over to the BV2S? I assume the electronic mike must come with the conversion? as the rubber tube mike does not work on the BV2S
Thank you for your feed Back

Bobler, you would need a Snofone DMS for the BV2S. The DMS is a detachable mic system that sits on the mask, make sure you tell them you have the BV2S, as they also require different speakers to fit inside that model.
The TXi would use a regular Snofone with the voice tube microphone system.
The Snofones are your basic 2 way radio, without any hook-ups for music or cell phone.
Both are available with the club channel option (free of charge) for channel 2.

Ryan, I have the DMS 900 Platinum stereo BV2s unit currently, my wife has a DMS 900 stereo platinum modular. We have had the older models as well and really enjoy the product when on the snow. I was planning to buy her a new unit as she has changed to the BV2s helmet this year as well.
Can you comment on how the blue tooth tech is going to work regarding any other interference from other sled electronic emissions// interference from hi Tension power lines?
On the web site I noticed the cellphone conversation requires a change of channels, I assume the normal two way radio conversation that we have while riding, will cut in over the blue tooth music transmission as the wired music unit does?
Also does the blue tooth pull more battery power down than the wired version does?
Thank you for any input.
Best regards
RR
PS I noticed the Blue tooth unit is backed out a few weeks currently with limited production?

This type of senseless destruction and theft seems to be creeping into many areas of our towns and cities in the norhteast and quebec. Hope for successfull repair and recovery.

Mid Range, I have used the oem yamaha bags since 2004, the oval side bags have decent space and the rear seat bag holds a fair amount as well. They are also sturdy and have been sewn up well so they hold up for a long time.
fyi

Hi dblacks!
I just see that you a member of the Club Ste-Sabine!
Do you know that there will be a merger between your club and 3 other snowmobile club?
1- Lac Etchemin
2- Ste-Sabine
3- St-Magloire
4- St-Justine
The resolutions clubs will happen on December 9!!
All the best!
Switchback, That sounds like a great move for those clubs, should give them a good pool of supporters to work from and help them with their equipment replacement and useage.
We will happily stay a member of that combined group

Groomer, I sense your frustration, we did get some snow in North western Maine today- 3-8" in places on the tail end of the storm.
We got on the tail side of the cold air in the back of the storm, lot of rain before however

That picture in winter of Mont St Pierre... Show that to any one that says snowmobiling is just sitting there pressing the gas and brake. That's right when you snowmobile you don't have any nice landscape because everything is covered in snow.... That picture says it all. I think if I could I would jump through my monitor into that picture and bury myself in the snowbank I would.!!! The season here in Quebec should strt rolling pretty well this weekend in The Laurentides Wildlife reserve- Another 6"-12"
today.
TDI I agree, riding in the Winter is awesome, and the landscaping is certainly different
Here is a Pic Looking down onto Mont St Pierre village and the motel from the top of Mt St Pierre
Also Hotel Rimouski, kind of difficult to get to in the city but good place to stay

Some pics of Cote Nord also
