Wow, it really is a new age for motorcycles. I remember when I was a kid and my mother had a battery pack the size of a deck of cards in her jacket and was tethered to the helmet. This is something else.

I just exchanged my Freecom 4plus for a PackTalk Bold and your video is by far the best I have seen. Thank you so much.

HUGE HELP! Thank you for posting this! So far i have only used the voice commands. (one ride 11.5 Hours) Thanks to this video, now i can set the sensitivity up, even better for our rides.

Glad I found this. This is the best clearest information I have seen..I am just now looking into wireless comms and this has answered so many questions I have had! Thanks!

Awesome demo! I just got the slim and been messing around with it but this just made my life 10x easier! Thank you

It'll be good when the rollout of the new Cardo Community happens. Yes, I can do many things through Cardo Connect, but my old eyes do a lot better with my monitor.

Thank you for a quick (but full) explanation!

Love your vids mate, I recently purchased a new JBL bolds after using my previous set of Packtalks .. I have noticed that when in DMC mode whilst playing music the music volume is not independent from the Intercom volume.. it use to work like this ... DMC mode get a voice check roll volume to desired level... In DMC mode and no one is talking and music is playing roll volume to desired level. Perfect.... Now no matter what when in DMC mode with music playing it is impossible to set music volume independently from independent from Intercom volume...

4:44 love the song

HAHAHA. I was just watching this video and I see your fm music station and knew right off, This guy lives in Maine! ;-)

Can you explain how to connect the device to the actual phone app? Mine never seems to connect and I cant get it to work

Love your vids. so much detail and easy to understand

Fantastic informative video sir, I just used it to set my new Cardo up thanks bro”👍👍👍

You did an amazing job. I'm definitely sold on getting this product now that my sena 20 finally died on me 😅

This is an awesome tutorial, thank you!

I've got mine paired with my phone, music will play through it and everything but the app says there's nothing connected to my phone

Love your Vids dude! Will be giving you a shout out in my Packtalk Bold review soon!

You sound just like Chris Pratt. I can’t help but think it’s Chris Pratt doing these videos.

I wonder what the function is of the three favourite caller IDs? You can only call the first (speeddial) number handsfree, right? I can't find anywhere in the manual or online why you would have the three favourites in there.

thank you. very clearly stated. I'm just learning. I have problems learning my phone too. oh by the way I listen to those same radio stations.

I've been trying to figure out how to livestream while I am Hang Gliding! I currently live stream with my iPhone 12 but the Wind Noise is terrible plus I lose Cell Signal at or above 2,000 feet. Can you live stream with a Motorcycle Headset, like a Cardo? I hear the Noise Canceling is great!

Great videos, thank you. Question is can the "Music" button in the app be replaced to run Spotify or Amazon Music etc instead of playing music from the device? Mine just plays all the notification clips from my phone! PackTalk Bold JBL is what we have.

Can you set it so that it automatically plays pandora when you hit music? I don’t have any other music on my phone

Hey man this is great thanks for all the info. I just got a packtalk bold! I'm just curious why you have so many of these units?!

I cant figure how the remap the music app to the correct player on my andriod within cardo

Been watching all your videos. I am doing a long ride with 2 other couples, 6 people total. If we are in a DMC group and say each couple is in a one-on-one conversation with our rider, how would we know if someone has something for the group?

Is it possible to share music with a passenger who got the same device (packtalk slim)?

It would be nice to see something telling you to pair the headset to the phone first. Also how does it work with Can Am’s BRP Connect where we should only have the phone paired to the bike?

I'd like to see an example of you using Cardo in the mic to dial a number, call a speed dial number, etc. It is difficult for me to ride a motorcycle and use a phone app at the same time.

Your videos are very informative, i thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

Hey MotoGeek. Great channel. Always my go-to place when I get stuck with the Packtalk. Think I pretty much have the hang of it now, thanks to you. Bit stuck again now though. I have just updated to the new Packtalk Bold JBL from the Packtalk. It looks like everything is now done via the phone app. There is also the new Cardo Update computer app and it appears that you no longer have to do anything via the Cardo Community anymore. It's still a bit confusing, as the docs with the unit tell you to register via the community site but when you go there it doesn't appear to work anymore with the units. We had registered the old units on the new desktop app for updates. The community site no longer seems to recognise that I have the Cardo Updater installed. Sent something off to support but don't expect much back from them. The unit gets picked up straight away in the Cardo Update app but this app is only for firmware updates by the looks. I suspect the docs are now out of date with the release of the Cardo Update app. Do you know if this is the case, that we no longer need to register or do anything (like settings) via Cardo Community anymore? Also, do you have to do anything, other than making sure Voice Control is turned on in the phone app, to have the unit respond to voice commands? Neither unit responds to voice commands, so wondering if I am supposed to do anything else to have this work. Haven't found anything in the guides. Have turned up voice recognition sensitivity.

I fly paramotors and use a Gopro Audio pack can this use that and still talk to other cardo packs it would need to be able to use bluetooth and DMC at the same time

Thanks buddy. Very useful indeed

will it play my music from Spotify ore only the musix thats on the phone?

I have a question. If i use spotify, how do I select it as default?

When you hit play on your music where is it getting that music? How do you add playlist's to the music function?

Great video, been trying to figure out the app

Can you explain the volume settings in the app. Not auto volume but the individual volume settings

Great video, thanks.

Good video. How do I get the Cardo audio into my GoPro?

Question about the phone menu: How do I set up speed dial? I can put in four numbers, do I have to set one of them as the speed dial number?

I am really stuck here and hoping you might comment. Problem: Cardo Connect on my 1Phone 7+ will not recognize my PACKTALK (not the BOLD). My PACKTALK was in a package of 2...my riding buddy getting the other one. He is a PC/Android user; I am a Mac/iPhone user. His cell's Cardo Connect works great....mine refuses to pair with my cell. I have updated my firmware to 5.3. I have run out of ideas???? Thank you for any advice you might offer.

Headset says 'mobile one connected' phone's bluetooth page says Packtalk Bold 'active' yet if I open the Cardo connect app I get No unit connected and Please connect your Cardo unit to your mobile phone. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the review

How can I use this app for groups that have more than 3 since I can only have 3 units connected via Bluetooth to iPhone at any one time

Where do you ride that you actually get fm?

Thanks for review, you are the one👍

I have a freecom 4+ with jbl speakers included. How can i change the sound profile?

Hi MotoGeek, thanks for the vid! Quick question.. If i'm using this unit, can i play my music on my helmet as well as my passenger which has a sena bluetooth smh5 unit?

Can you use the intercom while listening to music. If so does the music drop out when a rider starts talking?

Hi, Great overview. I am hoping you have some insight into the mute future. How does some let you know they are trying to reach you when you mute audio? If I mute so I can sing along with my music my wife who is on her bike behind me has no way of breaking in or indicating she wants me to come off mute. Given this feature rich device, I have to believe there is a way for her to cut in on my mute or send some notification?

Man my cardo just refuses to show up on the app, i am already paired up and playing music, i updated the firm ware and did a factory reset and it still doenst show up 😭

When I connect two phones to this device, one for navigation other for music, it possible to listen to both phones ?

question so when riding with passengers, they need to be in a group, or are they already in a group because I'm connected to the group? is pass and driver linking diff than single riders in the group? I still, can't figure how to share music with the pass. can you explain diff between being part of a group or a passenger? thx

Thanks for the video. Anyone know if the FC5 interphone can be connected to the packtalk?

I wish you could change the music source. I use both Pandora and Spotify on my phone. I have downloaded most of my Spotify libraries, so I can listen to them anywhere. However, the Music accessed by this cardo app is only my downloaded ringtones and notification sounds, not something I'll ever use.

Or find the manual of this connect cardo ??

This is a great video. But I think you should start off by saying what version of Cardo Connect you are on. I just bought mine and my version doesnt look like this. So a new version has to be made of this video..if you would please. Same thing just a newer version..Thank you

Very informative video. I just bought the duo from Amazon so I’m trying to learn how to use it as much as I can before it arrives. I’m curious about the radio, which I think is an awesome feature as I don’t stream much audio since I don’t have the unlimited package. I have a Kuryakyn Bluetooth sound bar that I am able to connect to my phone. Would it be possible to connect the Cardo to the Kuryakyn so I could play the radio through the Kuryakyn speakers?

Hi, great tutorial. one thing i cant seem to understand. on my duo Freecom 4, with a pillion, i can share music ok, by using the App. i can interrupt and start a conversation, but cannot get back to music, unless i stop, the bike, and get out the phone . waiting 30 seconds ( or 3 minutes) , doesn't work either. when we have a conversation, the music isn't on in the background, even though ive tried different background settings. Can you help please?

How do I set the default music player, for example, if I want my default player to be Google music. Or Pandora or Spotify. Right now on the app it is bringing in a single song from "Samsung". Which is the type of phone I have but not what I use to play my music. Thanks.

Hi, You said that Music is being played from your internal storage, what about KZfaq Music/Spotify, would it be recognized by the app ?

When I’m in intercom mode I can’t hear my GPS directions. How do fix that?

App isn’t available in Germany

Is there anyway to lower the volume of the system beeps?

Great video thank you

If you set the volumes to say 50% on the app does that mean that’s as loud as it will go whilst out on the bike ?

Thanks alot for your video buddy! Keep up the good job

I have a new Cardo Bold updated to5.7 yet my voice control , Hey Cardo is not working. 🤔🤨

Hold up, how does one name their packtalk? When I create a group and am admin, the other packtalks say 'PACKTALK'.

this is awesome tutorial

I need dome help plz, just bought scala rider and there is no voice recognition or VOX how do i activate it? Thx

How does Spotify work with this ?

When using the app to connect to non Cardo it always disconnects my Packtalk from the app. I then have to close app and try to reconnect app to my unit. Why?? Thx for any help

can you adjust volume for bozo at 80%, for ding dong at 40$%?

I follow you and enjoy but please on minor complaint on this video...your fingers move so fast I cannot keep up...I run Cardo Blacktalk Bolds

Great Vid, does it work in landscape as well?

could i tirn off the very anoing and dangerous beep noise when i turn volum up , please , it is very terrible when you put maximum volum and the beep go deep into your brain ,, i almost take the cardo off the helmet and though at the bush kkk its very very anoing ,,, please could you help to mute this please??

what happens if one group member makes a phone call? Are they unreachable?

I'm calling bullshit as I don't want to touch my phone or Ram mounted tablet if I'm riding. How about voice commands? Also, does the Cardo Connect App benefit the Freecom 4+ ?

Hey MotoGeek. Thank you MUCH for making all of these videos. These really help in learning how to operate my new cardo. I have two questions for you (Background first) I purchased the double set. It is important for me to be able to talk with my kids. Intercom is working fine. I paired my (Dad) unit first. Then paired Passenger unit. Thing is that now radio only plays in the Passenger unit when both units are on. 1. Is there a way to make the "Dad" unit primary so radio and voice commands are picked up by me? 2. When both units are on and intercom is working, radio is in my ear, I cannot seem to add passenger to be able to hear the radio as well. I pushed the "Share" button on the app. but no luck. Same occurs when playing music. Any ideas on that? Thank you MUCH, Todd

Looked at current reviews and Cardo Connect only gets 2.3 (iPhone), 3.0 stars (Google Play). Can you do everything Packtalk Bold features offer without the app?

I just bought the packtalk slim. I connect it to my phone via bt, but as soon as i start the app it says there is a new firmware update and it immediatly disconnects coz cardo shuts down. Is this normal? Will upgrade cardo and see what happens next

Brilliant ty

Where is the location for my music on android? Anyone knows?

HI I CAN'T UPDATE MY CARDO PALCKTALK, I ALREADY PLUG IT IN 4 DIFFERENT COMPUTERS AND CABLES AND, IT DOESN'T APPEARS IN THE CARDO PAGE, I HAVE 3 MORE AND UPDATE THEM WITHOUT A PROBLEM CAN ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO

Great video, thanks, I have one doubt, when the list is full and you want to eliminate some members, how can you do that? Eliminating members from a group, thanks

how do yo uexit out of the app?..I have to turn off my phone and restart it to get it to go away :(....other than that I am loving it

What if you have SiriusXM on your phone?

How is music sharing on Mesh? The music sharing on a 20S is pathetic

Why aren't you wearing motorcycle gloves?

Can you play Sirius through the system?

i cannot receive wassap calls with voice or button. any help will be appreciate it. thanks

hola no lo puedo enlazar a un IPHONE 11

The help secion is no longer in the APP it takes you to the website. This is bad because if you don't have internet you get no help. Hey, Cardo put the help info back in the app!

Can i listen to spotify thru this set?

Min nombre es Ricardo Papetti de Argentina , cometí el gran error de comprar esta marca de intercomunicador CARDO, me deje llevar por la propaganda que le hacen , segun es el mejor equipo del mercado, Algo totalmente fuera de la realidad anteriormente tenia un intercomunicador de un costo muy inferior pero de una gran prestación , hasta el punto de no verlo a mi compañero de viaje y sin embargo seguimos comunicados, con este equipo la máxima distancia fue una cuadra 100m con su sistema DMC , en conclusión no recomiendo a nadie que pase por mi mala experiencia , realmente es un pésimo equipo, y muy complicado de manejarlo por lo complejo que es, espero que este comentario llegue a la fabrica y aquellos que quisieran comprarse este tipo de intercomunicador CARDO saludos.

Easy to set speed dial??? HOW???? You just skip over it! There is no instructions ANYWHERE! I can't get it to work.

hello I can't link it to an IPHONE 11

does the app work with google maps
