[QUOTE="Fjrtn, post: 191314, member: 1207"] Dan: Read your post with interest. I to have an Autocom which I run my radar detector, radios (CB or FRS), iPod, cell phone and GPS (Magellan RoadMate 2000T) through. My problem is with my GPS and the level of sound (volume) that I can get to my helmet speakers from the audio out jack of the GPS. I have no problems of volume level through the Autocom with anything but the GPS. The sound level of the GPS...with the volume maxed out...is OK with the engine not running. However, as soon as the engine starts...and certainly on the move above 45 mph or so...the sound level is drowned out by the engine and road noise. I have tried everything I can think of to amplify the sound to a high enough level to hear the GPS. I tried a xa3 mixit type amp that Kieth Goudelock let me try. It helped some. But, at $100, it didn't help that much. Finally, I have tried a Boosteroo "Revolution" which is supposed to amplify the sound 400%. It also helps some...but...I still can't make out the turn by turn instructions from the GPS. So, if you (or anyone else) has a solution for my poor sound output to my GPS then---I'M ALL EARS! And, at this point, I don't know if my problem is with the Autocom or GPS. Hope someone has some ideas, Fjrtn [/QUOTE]
