In reply to andy gates. I had the same problem. Satnav = Garmin Zumo 396. No resolution so far

Can’t adjust the volume on the T-com VB headset when receiving navigation from my Garmin Zumo 396. It’s way too quiet. Master volume already on highest on satnav. Any clues?

Love my freedconn tcom… have only used it as a Bluetooth, as I found the FM so loud it’s deafening on minimum volume. Never used it as an intercom. Does anyone know what frequency it operates to transmit/receive? Are all on the same frequency, or is there a way to adjust the frequency to make it inter operate with other bramds/products?

In reply to Arthur. Thanks, Just ordered an old-style replacement cable off Amazon. Couple of quid more at £8 but next day delivery.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2569. I am trying to twin using Bluetooth to a T-COM helmet Bluetooth intercom kit. I keep getting Bluetooth not compatible. I have tried deleting all other Bluetooth devices and starting again but still the same .I connects to my phone OK and my Phone connects to the intercom kit. And help would be appreciated.
Thanks Mal

In reply to Arthur. Yes, you can hear the voice coming out of the phone but just not in to my speakers.

In reply to Steve. Not sure. I presume you can hear voice from the satnav when not on a chat with your pillion? It's possible the behaviour has been tweaked in more recent iterations.

In reply to Arthur. Thanks Arthur. That's what i was hoping it would do but mine doesn't. Am I pairing them up wrong somehow do you think?

In reply to Stephen. The way it works is the SatNav will periodically interject with directions and announcements. So, if you have an open chat with your pillion, your headset will periodically switch to the satnav for directions, momentarily putting your pillion on hold, then switch back to your pillion chat immediately afterwards. It works OK, but if you have a SatNav route where it needs to give you lots of directions in quick succession (e.g. navigating through a bunch of junctions or a city), it can get a bit annoying as your chat is constantly interrupted. Really depends on how chatty your satnav is!

I can talk to my pillion or listen to the sat nav on my phone. How do I do both at the same time?
