If, like me you have a GPS enabled phone which you use as a SAT NAV, you might be interested in this Bluetooth Dongle which allows you to use standard ear buds inside your helmet.
They're selling them off at half price at £19.95 with £2.99 delivery and seem to have excellent reviews.
I have no connection with the company but I have bought from them several times with excellent results. I've ordered these myself.

It's a neat enough bit of kit - but if you've got a set of normal earbud headphones, why don't you just plug them directly into your phone
Surely if you have a GPS enabled phone it has a 3.5mm headphone socket.
Unless you put your phone in the topbox rather than in your pocket I don't see the point - unless I've missed something.

Ditto.
This is exactly what I do.

If you mount the phone somewhere on your scoot, the handlebars for example, so 's you can actually see the routing display it's not really ideal to have a bit of wire trailing into your helmet now is it?

Exactly, thats why I use a blutooth headset along with the GPS phone, plus the wire from the 3.5mm jack goes to my amplifier for listening to music, I can run both connections same time with different features
