I have an Autocom unit with headsets, cables, etc that I'll sell you for $50 + shipping. Yes, it will connect to gps and phone with proper cables.

I use autocom stuff.
UK - Try Chainspeed.
AUTOCOM Super Pro Automatic Duo Kit Intercom Kit SPA 2 - Chainspeed Ltd
I have Zumos, smartphone, wired headset and used to have a bike to bike intercom wired in.
Superb clear quality - but a tad expensive. I also carry a spare mike - It isn't a regular occurence but the noise cancelling mikes are sensitive if they are not dried out after getting wet. And if/when they fail, it is always when you are using them. I've never yet had one fail if I wasn't using it !!!!
No BT to worry about connecting and disconnecting.
The Zumo XT does not come with wired connections - so a BT module has to be used with that. But chainspeed carry all of the bits and pieces that are required.
Sam, the owner, used to work for Autocom and knows these units, and how they are set up and work on bikes like the back of his hand. His son has taken over now, but the knowledge had passed on as well.
I checked that they open OK - 'cos I need some bits and pieces - and they just got back to me.

Yes I still have my Autocom units (one on the ST and one on the Goldwing) and I purchased a spare module just in case Autocom stopped making them. The only issue I have today is my recent order (end of May this year) from Chainspeed included a defective part (Universal Boom Microphone) which is the first time this has ever happened.
The only other issue, today, is that you can no longer get the straight intercom cords (helmet to bike) all they have online are the coiled ones.
The unit is very reliable and you can add several devices. On the ST I have the GPS, the radar detector, and the CB radio. I also have a standby plug for connecting anything else I might want to listen to that has a 1/8" audio connection.

I have a StarCom1 system. I had GPS, XM music, Radar detector, passenger to rider intercom and rider to rider communication with an added FRS radio. I've got a box of starcom units, cables headsets and accessories I'm looking to get rid of since switching to Cardo PackTalk.
