I need to pick up a couple of peices for my chatterbox. I'm running a modular helmet and had the open face kit before. The mount for the chatterbox unit broke (it hold the mic too in the open face model). I have only found one place to get just the helmet to chatterbox connection. Does anyone know of a connection for these peices? How about which mic should I get? The open face kit or the enclosed with a ski-doo modular?

how long have you had the unit? i believe they are warrentied for a year. give chatterbox a call! they are usually really good with customer relations! i know one of my buddies wanted to upgrade and they let him trade his old one in! its always worth a call!. tough call on what to use with that modular! i have been told in the past that you can not use a communicator with a modular.... i have no personal use to express an opinion on that.
aren't those chatterbox's awesome! which model do you have?

i should have mentioned you can buy that connecting piece for your helmet from dennis kirk.
The unit is going on 3 years or so. It's the frs x2 I think. Would be sweet to have the bluetooth one but this is ok. Love being able to communicate. At least know when sleds are coming etc. It helps keeping the group together.

they are probably not going to warranty something 3 years old.dnale said:
we started with the frs multisport and used them for 6 years. they were pretty good but everyone kept telling us how good the collett's were. we bought a set of those because the multi's were starting to have problems, getting crackly and not everything working all the time. we tried the collett's and thought they were terrible! my wife ripped her collett off of her helmet after the first day and said it was useless! we actually bought the chatterbox x-1!!!!! thay are awesome! we chose not to go with the bluetooth because when your sledding you don't want to be bothered by phone calls and stuff. just pipe some tunes in the helmet and i'll check the cell phone when we stop!
I didn't plan to try to get anything under warranty considering it was my fault. I'm thinking of trying the closed face mic in my new modular.
I love having my ipod connected into the chatterbox. I went straight to the chatterbox. My uncle got his for doing a job for a friend. I got mine so we could communicate in the group.

really though, doesn't it have a pretty nice sound. communication is really pretty good, you can't carry on a conversation while flying down the trail but at a resonable speed you can. i found the collett's very tinny sounding almost like an old transistor radio and communication was only when you were at practically a complete stop.
I can hear alot better than I can be heard. I think that has alot to do with the fact my microphone is behind the filter in the breath box.
I love how it cuts the music out so I can hear the other person then pics back up.
