Don't forget you will also need the right connection lead and probably the push to talk swtich too.

(I prefer not to let the rest of the world hear my "singing" along to the ipod by just using the vox.)

I just can't remember which but I got a pair of Midlands handhelds from Maplins, and another mate got a pair. Me Saxo and another mate went on tour last year and they did the job, it was hard for me to hear above a certain speed but that was a combination of crap head unit in the helmet and also having a noisy helmet.

They were either £60 or £80 for the pair

Yep, that was me - obviously at your own risk (but it is dead easy!)

I would suggest buying the correct conection lead but if you want the wiring diagram for the switch drop me a PM.
