I found this: https://www.ogracing.com/en-ca/produ...o-imsa-adapter

there is a female aux and female aud connectors on the chatterbox.
how do I use the built in comm with chatterbox?

while I am asking, how do I connect water below that as well?

Hey Dan,
I have a newer Chatterbox that uses the newer style connector shown in your link (rather than the old round multi-pin one you have). I’m not using it anymore as I moved to a different system. That adaptor, I believe, is intended to do exactly what you want with the newer style Chatterbox unit like mine.

Bob can probably get u the adaptor cable but it would probably be better to dump the chatterbox and get a speedcom or trackcom setup.

I agree with De Jeeper, you’re using a nice, modern, pre wired helmet. Time to dump the decades old chatterbox tech for one with better sound quality and reliability.

Do you have the combination connector for the Roux with a radio dongle and the water line? I put a bite valve on the inside of mine and connected to a camelback. I think it's intended to be used with a switch activated bottle with a pump but my setup worked just fine. . I used the integrated cooling on the other side for the first time last weekend with my chillout system. It's not as effective as my coolaclava but a lot less hassle dealing with lines.

yes I have the combo connector as you can see in my photo. where do you put the camelback? do you attach to roof so gravity? or do you suck the water out?

I figured you did but I don't see the female side in the picture.

I attached it to the cage over the tunnel. The outlet is slightly below my helmet level so I have to suck a little. I prefer that to having it pressurized and surprising me at speed.
