Looking for a Bluetooth enabled FRS Radio.

Is there such an animal?  I'd like the wireless from helmet to radio. Then be able to mount the actual FRS someplace else.

I DO NOT WANT BLUETOOTH BIKE TO BIKE...  and I don't necessarily care about rider to passenger. I want bike to bike and not CB's.

I was just wondering if the folks here have heard of anything like this.
 
You might look into what this unit will do.  Not sure if it is the ticket or not.  Below is a low point review from Nick.  They may have another product that might work also.

This review is for a Cardo Scala Rider Q2 single unit setup:

I have been using one for about a year now. Works well. I have not used it
to communicate with another rider yet. 3 downsides I have found:

1: Battery life limited to about ten hours with Bluetooth and fm radio -
seems to last much longer when using the aux input.

2: wind on microphone causes the phone to answer all calls, before I can
look to see who is calling and potentially decline the call.

3: sound levels vary, I have to turn the volume up loud for the cell phone
calls, then when the call disconnects, the radio is extremely loud.

I have not used it with Bluetooth gps either.

It does have amazing good connection with my iphone, good sound quality and
the aux stereo input is great.

I do not have nay other radio setup on my bike, so I would not do LD rides
without this now. For the single rider price, I feel it is a good deal.
