How about mounting an autocom?

I have an Autocom Super pro avi I took off my previous bike. I use it for recieving calls and listening to music. I have ordered a second helmet kit from MC-Oslo aswell, since my wife wants to ride with me =)

I had one little problem, though: Where to mount it? The box isn't that big, but there are several wires to be led everywhere. I need to connect it to power, and there are also wires to connect to the helmets, a bluetooth dongle and an auxillary wire for my mp3-player.

The Bluetooth-dongle has a long wire for easy mounting. The same applies to the aux-cable. They are both about 1,5m.

I searched the bike for a decent placement, and for a while I considered the inside of the front fairings. After a little consideration, I decided against it, as it would be very explosed to the elements. I did, however, find a suitable place for it: The little storrage compartment in the back of the bike!

The compartment is almost perfect; not to much water and fairly easy to access it when I need it. Not to logical how to lay the cables, but I found a solution.

First, I mounted the box in the back using adhesive velcro bought from Biltema. They are for outdoor use, so they should stick.

I also bought some cable threaders with rubber covering and bolt holes. These items set me back 67,- NOK ($11)

The threaders are perfect for this job! All the cables I need fit through.

It made the mounting process very easy and it looks nice.

However! There seems to be a problem with the sound. When I turn on the heated grips, the autocom restarts. It is also rather unstable on the bluetooth connection. Could this be because they are connected to the same powerloop?

I have some investigating to do!
