I was wondering why. My headset is bluetooth and connects with my phone, GPS, and the wife on her bike. Why would you need another module on the bike? What functionality does it add?

It acts as the control module between your phone and helmet and allows you to fully control phone apps via the controls on the bike, instead of trying to use the face of the phone while riding. While the SENA is great, I think, in theory, this would be a better/safer option...if you choose to use your phone while riding.
I'm old school and the only thing I like to listen to is the engine. I use a motorcycle as an escape, so I don't want electronic interference in that quest. Also, my issue is that I listen to rock and metal music. In the past and on the rare occasion when I listened to those genres, I subconsciously started to ride faster and faster as the song picks up...:grin2:. Could lead to bad things.
And under no circumstances do I take phone calls while riding. I prefer to have my wits about me. I know that when I'm driving my vehicle, sometimes miles and miles will have passed and I won't remember details of it. Scary when riding a motorcycle. But others do regularly, its just not my thing. Others also have a few drinks then get on a bike
...but that's a whole 'nuther conversation.
I also have the SENA and While I occasionally listen to music, I like that I can take a call while riding. I dont have to touch my phone because I have the Sena Handlebar remote that lets me control the volume, answer calls and skip tracks.It acts as the control module between your phone and helmet and allows you to fully control phone apps via the controls on the bike, instead of trying to use the face of the phone while riding.

I also didnt see the value in getting the Ducat BT module as the Sena had better functionality and a lower price.
sweet jesus, even ducati stickers are 10+ dollars
For me its two reason why I ordered the Bluetooth module
Even though my Interphone intercom give me both music and phone control I like the idea of controlling everything from the handlebar. And also see the track playing.
But most important, when I ride I normally will not take a call when I am riding. But since my job sometimes need me to be available its nice to see on the display if its work related and if I need to take it or not
