This device works just fine, just back from 2 wks in Sth Isl using one of these with ipod and radar detector in, and earphones out, works a treat! Collectively saved our bacon in our group with 3 using these, many many successful detections and all day music, perfect.
Get your motor runnin, head out on the Highway ....

Don't know of any radar that is bluetooth out of the box, but you can get add-ons to make it bluetooth.
Depends on your budget. I just did a 13 day South Island Trip. The bike was fitted up with a Baehr Verso XL unit, with radar on primary, uhf radio (for bike to bike, using push to talk) on secondary, and then the GPS on the 3rd input.
Worked a treat, super reliable, but you don't get change out of a couple of k, and a complex set up with installation, probably kiss goodbye to 3k.
Problem with bluetooth is battery life. Bluetooth figures for helmet units I have seen listed around 7 hours, and honestly, that just isn't enough. Sure, with the baehr you have a cable from the seat area to your helmet, but there are no batteries, unless you're using a uhf radio, and it should get 36+ hours, depending on model etc. Basically, I found a radio good for 3 full days, and carried a 2nd, charging whichever one overnight.
If you use a zumo 550 gps, and your phone has bluetooth, you should be able to sync them, and let the gps handle the phone, but not too sure. I deliberately haven't bothered to hook the phone into the system. Riding means no talking on phone![]()

Leveling the playing field
got the gps (wired into the comms), bluetooth headsets don't have the kind of battery life I need... and I have already paid enough in fines in the past... so the radar detector is also wired into the comms.
Couple the radar detector with the gps' knowledge of camera locations and common hiding places, and you have a decent knowledge of lands you rarely ride![]()
