Can also Blue tooth w/this unit + needed accessories
We had the Can Am CB in our 2012 RT model so had one put in our 2016 as well. My wife(It's her scoot) is taking it back in for a replacement under warranty. This one just doesn't work as well or the first was exceptional I'm not sure which. I like the fact the unit is out of sight and all the controls are right there on the handlebar but in all honesty I'm thinking a J&M CB would have done just as good in both cases. That's what I have on my Indian and it's worked just fine. But it is exposed to the weather and by all rights I should put it's rain cover on it. But I don't. It's been in some pretty heavy downpours too and still working fine.
But that's really the only two choices you have. I'm not sure if the BRP CB isn't a J&M under the covers or some other brand. BRP sure doesn't make them and I only know of one other company.
I think they are called MP3 or something like that.
They make the ones for Goldwings if I have the name correct and they said in an email to them that they would have one for Indians soon. But the J&M has worked so well that I never followed up on it.

Found the other place. They are [URL=http://www.bikemp3.com/CB-System_c11.htm]BikeMP3[/URL].
But they still don't appear to have anything but Goldwing support. Again it wouldn't surprise me if one of these two companies isn't who BRP is using since they don't make CBs themselves. Someone sure does and these are hidden units as well.
I use a Midland handheld and a Sena SR10 to bluetooth it up to my helmet. It also gives you a PTT button. I bought the Sens from Motorcycledave.com
