Working on Smart-phone remote with grips mount...

[talkeyktm]

Hello! I'm working on the smartphone remote and was wondering what those of you who ride with headsets think of the idea. It is grips mounted 5 key remote to control your intercom, music and calls. The intercom will work in innovative way - over mobile internet, there will be no range limitations comparing to existing systems. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a handlebar, I have clip-ons.

Also, not likely to take off, how do you suppose buttons are pressed with gloves on?

Also, my bluetooth headset can control my phone calls, music and intercoms.

I'd like a full QWERTY keyboard on my handlebars so I can text more easily. And an LCD monitor to watch movies on. Maybe a mouse for gaming, too.

I would actually like something like this, a small weather proof remote that'll do play/pause vol +/- and skip track forwards back.

Today some cunt in his silver German car 'wandered' into the oncoming traffic's path, namely mine, at NSL speeds whilst fucking around with his techno gadgetry bullshit and you want to encourage this kind of behaviour in bikers?

I have ktm 525 for offroad and suzu gladius 650 for commuting.
I have waterproof smartphone, but it is hard to use while you ride.

The idea is to make a remote with grips mount (will work on clip-ons too) to operate just with thumb, leaving the hand on the bar and even not having a look on that. One more advantage will be that intercom function will work not over the standard radio, but through Zello - software radio over mobile internet. In this case there will be no distance limitation like standard intercoms have. You can still summon Siri or Google, but voice operations will be duplicated with push buttons. If you need just to switch the track or accept /drop call it will be much faster and will keep your concentration on traffic. Here is prototype picture: https://i58.tinypic.com/25sybtx.jpg

I read that wrong, I thought it was gonna be an app on a smartphone.

Still wouldn't have one though.

Personally not seen the need for music/making calls/texting whilst riding a bike. Am I luddite?

Looks like an OK idea. I've got most of my system set up to be voice controlled at this point ( Tasker) so it's not something I'd use myself. I do know someone who recently bought a cheap Chinese bluetooth remote for this purpose though, so there must be a market for something waterproof and with glove sized buttons.
