CanAm sells a unit:

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 BikeMP3.

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

From what I been reading the BRP CB is not the greatest ..Aftermarket most likely is the way to go as the above posts have stated.

Just to be able to pick up the mike & say which way, or what do you think ? .lol, I know , I should not have beem leading .

I like it a lot. I just got the Sena B/T but the bike is way for the winter so haven't used that part yet. I used the handheld all last summer with a handheld mike/speaker combination. Worked ok but awkward. Having it in my helmet will be much better.

[Dennis Elliott]

thanks mine should be here any day now. we can ride most of the winter so ill get it hooked up

[Ed Hobgood]

I have a J&M and it has a bluetooth unit attached so I get everything through my headset. The unit is not waterproof but you get a cover with it and if it starts raining I just use the cover and continue to use it. I have used it for two years now and love it.

[Pegasus1300]

I had not seen that they included a bluetooth setup in their unit. That would be not so cumbersome as what I have.

[Dennis Elliott]

well I'm all hooked up now. love intercom that can se to voice actuated phone is paired and the midland handheld cb works great.
My next investment is for the sm10 and motorcycledaves plug and wire to play the spyder radio thru the Bluetooth headsets
