This was the most in-depth tutorial I think I've ever seen. So helpful and easy to understand. You are so good at explaining things. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As others have noted, you were incredibly thorough, and you made it easy to follow along. I also appreciate that you labeled your chapters/topics so that I can refer back if I need. Well done and much appreciated! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for having a tutorial video that's more than 2 mins long. I hate it when you get these companies that put out videos and they are super short and have no info in them.
The PackTalk Edge is amazing. It does connect quickly. It does connect seamlessly. It does work absolutely as advertised. I liked my Freecom 4x, but oh man what a difference.
Mike thanks so much for this video. I've watched it multiple times. It's basically taught me everything I need to know as a first time moto-headset user and a first-time Cardo (Edge) customer. You answered every question I had in an extremely professional manner. Truly excellent delivery 10/10. PS: I'm so happy with the Edge!
I recently bought a sena due to pressure from a salesman and I absolutely hated it. 12 sena apps. 1990's software for updates and still a POS. Very quiet, complicated as all hell, sounded horrible. I bought a Cardo Edge and have absolutely nothing negative to say. Amazing sound and volume. Easy to use. Links instantly. So glad I went with Cardo
I've one sf4 and an sf2, horrendous after sales,.one stopped working on right speaker. There are firmware upsldate for my model, but they say that i ca not not update them and inhave to go to dealer and reclaim warranty. Never ever a sena again in my life, trash
Thank you for this video! I struggled with getting our Edge units set up correctly and you made it super simple and easy to follow. The units are working better than ever thanks to your content. I agree with previous comment that videos are usually too short and say absolutely nothing which makes them 100% useless to the new user. Thank you for putting such a useful video together!
Brilliant tutorial- thank you. I've just invested in the this system for off road group ride. Really love the voice functionality. Only made a test call on it so far and the sound quality is superb.
Thank you for this The best tutorials and most in-depth on cardo packtalk edge. Highly recommended for all new users, existing users, and those who intend to buy.
Great tutorial, learned some new stuff. Been using Cardo devices for many years, recently upgraded my Packtalk to the Packtalk Edge. I'm a bit struggling with the volume settings though, especially the Automatic Volume feature where it should adjust volume based on surrounding noise. My old Packtalk did this perfectly, the new Edge seems to struggle with this, I often find myself fiddling with the volume wheel to be able to hear people in the group or turn the music up. I'd be all ears for a walkthrough of the 'audio settings' in the app to dial those in perfectly.
I absolutely love my Cardo. The JBL speakers sound great as well! The volume wheel is designed great, I can increase and decrease my volume without trying to find buttons with my gloves on.
Fantastic video, very clear and easy to follow! I do have a question, I'm buying a Zumo XT2 GPS, if I pair my iPhone on the Phone and then the GPS on the second Channel as a GPS, if I'm listening to music on the phone, will I still get the GPS voice prompt? And also, will the Siri command work the same? Thanks in advance!
Why can’t cardo work with helmet manufacturers to have a cleaner install and build into the helmet? Cardo is superior to Sena but its getting harder to find a helmet that does not have a built in option that uses Sena.
@Yii00T my hjc rpha 70st isn't "made for" the cardo, but it words perfectly with the clip, and the velcro for the speakers is already in place, not to say it wouldn't work with a sena either, but why sena? I have the edge btw which I belive is the same mounts. I do remember seeing some helmets made for the cardo. But I would honestly never get a helmet that is made for a com system as I'd feel limited.
It would be nice to have the acknowledgement of your request via voice activation also give you the same acknowledgment when you request an action via buttons. Example- Muting the mic via voice command, it says "mute microphone" but if you use the buttons for this action it just beeps. It might be helpful to confirm what your request was when you pushed the buttons, incase you hit the wrong button combination.
I try to ask here because I can't find this information anywhere (tutorial / cardo site / internet): can the cardo edge start a conference with the 2 Bluetooth channels "simultaneously" like the freecom 4x does or it can only make a conference in dmc only?? (the packtalk edge user manual suggests that it can be done but it is not clear at all. in this tutorial I can see the call to the Bluetooth channels one at a time (unlike what I see in the freecom 4x tutorial) thank you very much
Great video, Just bought the edge and looking forward to trying it out. Appreciate that when you check the weather you're in Long Beach and when you play music its Sublime. ✌
Amazing tutorial! I bought the cardo pecktalk edge for my roadtrip in Scotland with 2 friends. We all had the packtalk edge and we loved every bit of it! After every break you just put the cardo on and you are immediatelyin the group, ready to ride! Although I still have some problems now connecting a new group. I was hoping to find the answer in this video, but I haven't. So after you made your first group (wich was very easy to setup), how can you connect with other groups? So beside my 2 "Scotland group" friends, I have some more groups of friends I ride with. But I had a lot of problems making another group with them. Can you tell me how I can easily make another (if not more) groups and easy switch between them depending on the group of friends I'm riding with?
This is a super video!! Thank you so very much! Can you or anyone comment on whether they've used this system with a bluetooth-enabled radar detector while riding with someone who is also paired to the Cardo?
Hey folks - I’ve been using bold for several years and used many of them and earlier this year got the edge. It’s great - sound quality etc. The problem I’m having is really bad network connectivity with my buddy who has the bold. We ride regularly and we’ve never had connectivity issues when both of us were on bold- since changing over to edge - while we are connected - the connection breaks way too often - even there is slightest of traffic or lack of line of sight the connection drops which was never the case with bold. I’ve tried swapping with bold and things are back to normal … so I do believe it’s something I’m not doing right … any tips or advise on how to fix it?
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Watched this to get prepared to receive my cardo edge duo pack I ordered. I am now realizing that a crazy person decided the functionality of the buttons and jog wheel of this thing. Obvious strange decisions such as a single press of the front button starts music, another single press skips forward, 2 clicks for back and then pressing inward on the job wheel pauses music. Why not jog-forward/back for song skip and center press for play/pause? Answering a call is a single press of the bottom button but ignoring a call is a specific direction backwards on the jog wheel? Why not make it a press-hold of the call button or double-press of the same button? The function controls are spread all over the place of the function keys and becomes crazy. I am sure this can all be figured out over time but it doesn't seem that much sense was put into it. Besides that, what else would make things far more understandable is having short and quick voice guidance for every option. Simple adding "call share enabled/disabled" and all other mode changes and functions would be a nice function to enable.
The device is great. I wonder if you guys plan to do a device with all these capabilities, compatible with schuberth s3 maybe? :) I would love to have it 👌
I have a Freecom 4, and one of the things that bugs me is that every time the GPS "talks" - it cuts out the intercom for a couple of seconds. Since DMC isn't bluetooth, will the intercom stay active even when there is bluetooth audio coming in? Phone call sharing seems to indicate that this is possible, but it would be really handy if everyone could hear the GPS directions as well (and I could still hear my buddies while the Garmin prattles on and on and on.....)
A very good tutorial. One question that I have is will the Edge communication with 2 non Cardo units at the same time? For example will it communication with 2 sena SF 4 units at the same time? Thanks Cheers.
So if I’m trying to connect 3 devices with Bluetooth connection (using A and B) as shown towards the end of the video, can I merge the A and B so all 3 riders can talk together or is it only 1 on 1. My buddy has a free com and the other has a Sena and we all want to talk together
The Edge is louder than the Bold I had. I also paired this with corded earplugs/earphones which cuts down significantly on ambient/wind noise and improves listenability.
1) I don't even have a motorcycle yet and I want one(Cardo). 2) That little thing can do all that(I like the different sounds it makes)😵💫🤯😂 3) Question? Since the Cardo Packtalk Edge does "all that", do you need to have your phone with you/close by for it to work?
Nice comprehensive breakdown. Not mentioned is how the intercom interacts during music sharing. So, if sharing music with a passenger, are you able to use the intercom without first turning off music sharing? Thank you!
Great Video. Very complete. Such a versatile kit. We have a duo set and are experiencing issues with the intercom where I can hear my husband all the times but he can't hear me. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. It is not an issue with distance as when he can't hear me, I can hear me... Still trying to figure it out... If anybody has any feedback?
I use the button mic on my modular helmet. I have it on the left (same side as the unit) and stick it on the mesh that's to the left of my cheek pad. People say they can hear me just fine. I hated having to deal with a boom mic. YMMV but it seems to work for me.
I have a new Packtalk edge and have programmed some local FM stations into it, but don't always ride within range of my local FM stations. Other than doing the scan with the unit's buttons, can I scan by voice command? I saw no reference to that in the video. Thanks!
I have an edge and bold that I want to connect for passenger riding. The goal is to listen to music from one source and communicate with each other. They are both paired using the same phone but when I power on the second device, the first device disconnects. What am I doing wrong and how can I correct it? What's the difference between this and a dual pack?
I’m curious. I’ve got both the packtalk bold and edge and on both units, to turn them on, you don’t actually need to press/hold the two buttons to turn them on. You can turn them on just by holding down the media button. Also, to turn both units off, you do need to press the media and phone buttons together but you don’t need to hold them down. Just pressing them together does the trick. So why tell people to do it the way that is in the instructions/tutorials?
Hi, We are guiding our customers to use both buttons to keep a line of one combination for shutting down and turning on. The option to turn on the units by the media button was an Easter egg, and we kept it. You can turn on the unit by both options. Thank you, Cardo Team.
How do you “hard reset” packtalk edge? Today I Used the Cardo to communicate with two other guides, after 7 hours riding with not whole lot of talking the unit used 75% battery, seemed odd as Ive ridden 10 hours listening to music and had 25% battery left, anyway once I turned the unit off it won’t turn back on nor does the charging light show charging. I tested power for source and all is good. However I cannot find a reset process, seems strange it just stopped working, hopeful thinking, but it just seemed strange if that makes sense. Haha thanks for the help
Dear Cardo, See DJI wireless mic system. The box they come in pair the unit automatically. Be nice to have a charge box so when you go into a restaurant you could put the units in there for charging . Just a idea!
This is just a great tutorial Mike thank you!! I really like your smooth moving directions that don’t drag on but are in depth. I have 1 question. We are getting ready to go out and are going to need to connect 2 4X units with to 2 EDGE’S. I seen how you do that with 1 but how will that be done with 2 4X’s as the Edge you did it with has now used up the one option? I also understood you to say that with 1 4X and 2 Edge’s you don’t have to take your Edge’s to Bluetooth mode, do you have to with 2 of each unit? Thank you in advance for any assistance!
@@kyehodson8201 I have connected mine to 2 spirit models at the same time, so all 3 of us were able to talk to each other. I had 1 on A channel and 1 on B channel.
Bought the edge duo and 2 half helmet kits and had the same problem as the Freecon4 w/the half helmet kit 3 yrs ago there is a delay in transmission and when my passenger speaks, i hear her normal voice first the begining of the conversation kicks in thru the jbl speakers and the sound is overlapping. unable to use and returning again. Sorry Cardo, but the Scala Rider Q2 had no problems except that after 8 years batteries would not charge and no replacement available.
When your around other groups using Cardos and when joining the group, how do you make sure your joining the right group and no one else joins your group?
I just bought this unit. Is there a way to just drive with the open mesh network and talk with other fellow bikers on the road while traveling on the roads similar to an open CB radio? Or would you have to connect to those riders as a mesh network say in a group ride only situation? In other words can you just have an open channel so to speak?
Big question for you Cardo. I’m looking at your PTEdge and wondering if a Bluetooth Two way radio will hook up to one of those A & B channels. Want to use off-road sxsing. A lot of time we are not in the “line of site” for the designated Bluetooth group comms operation. This would be a big plus. There are some two way radios which will connect to your smartphone also. Will PT edge be able to talk on radio via smartphone connection? Trying to look at all options. I really like your product and if we can communicate through a two way radio also it would be fantastic.
Great video, but I am still confused over the Bluetooth intercom. Based on this video you can either talk to your A channel OR you B channel, but not both. Is that correct? So you can't have 3 people all talking together? The manual indicates you can pair to rider A and rider B, then one of those can pair with a 4th rider for a total of 4 riders talking. But this video seems to indicate you can only pair with 2 others and talk to only one of those at a time.
Great system. I'm a little fuzzy on why one would pair the unit with two phones?? You didn't mention why, only that it does. It might be helpful for me because I have multiple potential passengers and they all have different helmets and no cardo systems. So if I have two phones paired to the one mesh device, can I assume that the passenger and I can talk , me with my cardo and she with a set of ear buds to her phone? Will the 2 nd phone even be able to pair to a second device like her ear buds once its already paired to he Cardo?? . So then does she have to call me or does it have a special mode to direct communications between the two paired bluetooth phones without necessity of an active phone call between the two paired phones??
Had it in Canada since July 2022 and didn't get chance to test group yet. Love everything about it except button command is a bit inconsistent. And, even without power saving, sometimes navigation on Maps and Waze will skip first few words then you'll hear the direction or street.
Hi, just bought my first PT edge last week and this tutorial was very helpful for the install, thanks. I have a question re music - you explain well how to skip tracks, adjust vol. etc - all good…. But what about selecting the music to play in the first place? I see in the app how to link to my Spotify and I’ve done that….but i cant see how I can navigate my Spotify library using Cardo app. Is this not possible? If not does that mean I just have to select a very long playlist in Spotify before I start ride and I am stuck with that playlist until I stop? Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial! I do have a question; when on my light flashes blue; throughout the video the cardo mostly flashed green. Is mine connected differently? Or incorrectly?
when using the voice commands , if you say for instance "Hey cardo, mute intercom", will the other people in the chat also hear that command or does it mute it somehow ?
great tutorial. But im having a problem with music sharing. I have an Edge and a packtalk black edition(like bold). I followed exactly the music sharing method,,, except when i press share music... it says 'Rider A not available'. How can I fix this?
When using these with a Garmin Zumo, does the PT blend the instructions from the Garmin with the Intercom chat? Or does it (like my current intercom) block all intercom talk for around ten seconds while the Garmin is giving instructions - which is really annoying!). If it blends, I’m buying these…..
Thanks for the tutorial. I just bought the Edge to replace the Freecom 4. Reason being is that the people with whom I ride all use Cardos with DMC. Question as I can't seem to find the answer: after I connect to the group, how do I initiate a chat via the unit? Or is it all live? And if I'm listening to music via the iPhone what happens when a chat between riders starts? Does the audio stream auto-mute or do I have to pause it manually? Thanks.
Great video. I have my ktm branded packtalk edge arriving tomorrow to replace my packtalk bold. I thought I read somewhere that you could record audio conversations from within the app on the edge? Is this true?
Holy…. That was a ton of info. I want to talk my Road Captains into trying this over a CB radio but this much info will scare them off for sure. Sounds like a great product but who can remember all those commands. I like the idea of pairing through a cell phone app. Is it as easy as Pick and choose who’s on the group chat via the app? I’ll have to watch this a few more times…
Please please add the capability to dictate text (i.e. Google Voice Typing). Sena had this and I'm shocked Cardo doesn't (support confirmed it's not available). Would be so nice to dictate a quick text reply at a stoplight.
I have 2 Cardo edge. When I first received the product, I was able to do music share. I did something and now, can not do music share. I have reinstalled the update on both Carda. I can intercom but I no longer can music share.
Any tips for removing the cradle from the adhesive plate? I have it on there, but would like to remove it, leaving the adhesive plate on the helmet. I can't seem to get it to come off. Any recommendations?
According to chapter 5 Mobile Phones, GPS, and Bike Pairings I can pair 2 phones, gps and my bike to ma cardo edge at the same time? So my Cardo edge should be like a "HQ" for all other devices? I'm asking because I struggling a little bit to connect my KTM TFT, Samsung Galaxy S22, Cardo Edge and Garmin Zumo XT. I'm not able to connect them all togheter. While aswering the call from my handlebar is important I connected phone and cardo to my KTM. I had to give up connecting my Zumo XT at all. If it is possible could You write a sequence of pairing all devices togheter ?
Fantastic video. I am looking to order the Edge. This video will be a brain wash for me to learn all functions. I own a 2020 Goldwing which has Apple carplay. First time pairing, should I pair the Edge via TFT to the bike and first phone pairing to my Iphone? With the 6th gen Goldwing. You CANNOT have both Bluetooth on. If the iphone is connected to the bike via a cable for Carplay, the Bluetooth on the phone must be off. It will create a conflict, if not. The Bluetooth on the bike must stay on all the time.
At the 34 minute mark is the explanation of how to connect Edge to a Bluetooth device like the Freecom and a non-Cardo unit. The explanation then shows you how to intercom with each rider separately. Can you have an intercom with all three at the same time? The video doesn’t show that. Thanks.
Hi. Question. Is it easy to remove and put back the mic? I dont think I'll use it that often as i mostly ride solo. Thinking to use this more to play media. Or when the mrs wants to tag along. 😂
What I want to know is how do I turn the volume down of the music without turning the volume down of the intercom at the same time. My wife rides with me and we both have our cellphones connected to our units and we are linked via DMC. But some times when I we ride we want the music lower so we can have a normal conversation. But when we turn the volume down it turns both down.
2 other of my friends uses packtalk edge and we have 7 other friends that uses either freecom x4 or spirit hd. Can i connect all of them on my edge and still able to talk to each other simultaneously?
This was the most in-depth tutorial I think I've ever seen. So helpful and easy to understand. You are so good at explaining things. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best instruction/tutorial of any product anyone has ever made

I just got the edge and so far I’m loving it. Down side is that there are so many features that it will take me a while to learn how to use them.
Take your time! Once you start it’s hard to live without it! 🤘🤠
I agree!
I recently bought a sena due to pressure from a salesman and I absolutely hated it. 12 sena apps. 1990's software for updates and still a POS. Very quiet, complicated as all hell, sounded horrible.

what is the difference between the cardo packtalk edge off-road version (Cardo PT200050) and the standard cardo packtalk edge (CARDO PT200001) ?
Thank you for this The best tutorials and most in-depth on cardo packtalk edge. Highly recommended for all new users, existing users, and those who intend to buy.

DONE! Need to upgrade my cardo. Been using the Freecom 4+ every single day for the past 5 years.
I love the voice commands... When they work. Full face helmet and so many times it won't stop the music or turn it back on
Love Love Love this new unit it's a big step up from my Freecom 2 unit the sound and quality of the unit is second to none worth every cent 👍
Great video. If one rider is listening to their own music, can another rider interrupt them and use the intercom?
Can you post installation videos for helmets designed for sena systems such as Shoei and Schberth?
Fantastic video, very clear and easy to follow! I do have a question, I'm buying a Zumo XT2 GPS, if I pair my iPhone on the Phone and then the GPS on the second Channel as a GPS, if I'm listening to music on the phone, will I still get the GPS voice prompt?

And laying out all the black parts on a black cloth. Genius!
A very good tutorial. One question that I have is will the Edge communication with 2 non Cardo units at the same time? For example will it communication with 2 sena SF 4 units at the same time? Thanks Cheers.
Sucks you never got a response, but did you ever figure it out?
@@TikTikboom173 No.
So if I’m trying to connect 3 devices with Bluetooth connection (using A and B) as shown towards the end of the video, can I merge the A and B so all 3 riders can talk together or is it only 1 on 1. My buddy has a free com and the other has a Sena and we all want to talk together
The Edge is louder than the Bold I had. I also paired this with corded earplugs/earphones which cuts down significantly on ambient/wind noise and improves listenability.
1) I don't even have a motorcycle yet and I want one(Cardo).
2) That little thing can do all that(I like the different sounds it makes)😵💫🤯😂
3) Question? Since the Cardo Packtalk Edge does "all that", do you need to have your phone with you/close by for it to work?
Nice comprehensive breakdown. Not mentioned is how the intercom interacts during music sharing. So, if sharing music with a passenger, are you able to use the intercom without first turning off music sharing? Thank you!
I see there is no reply to this great question. I guess CARDO likes talking at us instead of with us.
Great Video. Very complete. Such a versatile kit. We have a duo set and are experiencing issues with the intercom where I can hear my husband all the times but he can't hear me. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. It is not an issue with distance as when he can't hear me, I can hear me... Still trying to figure it out... If anybody has any feedback?
Love Cardo systems! I love the packtalk edge duo, highly recommend it!
I use the button mic on my modular helmet. I have it on the left (same side as the unit) and stick it on the mesh that's to the left of my cheek pad. People say they can hear me just fine. I hated having to deal with a boom mic. YMMV but it seems to work for me.
Thanks I was wondering about that
@@seethebutter you're welcome, hope it works for you too!
LMMFAO 😂😂😂 IM WATCHING THIS VIDEO WITH MY CARDO CONNECTED AND EVERY TIME U SPEAK TO CARDO MINE ASWELL SETS ITS SELF BY UR VOICE 😅😅
I have a new Packtalk edge and have programmed some local FM stations into it, but don't always ride within range of my local FM stations. Other than doing the scan with the unit's buttons, can I scan by voice command? I saw no reference to that in the video. Thanks!
I have an edge and bold that I want to connect for passenger riding. The goal is to listen to music from one source and communicate with each other. They are both paired using the same phone but when I power on the second device, the first device disconnects. What am I doing wrong and how can I correct it? What's the difference between this and a dual pack?
I’m curious. I’ve got both the packtalk bold and edge and on both units, to turn them on, you don’t actually need to press/hold the two buttons to turn them on. You can turn them on just by holding down the media button. Also, to turn both units off, you do need to press the media and phone buttons together but you don’t need to hold them down. Just pressing them together does the trick. So why tell people to do it the way that is in the instructions/tutorials?
Hi,
We are guiding our customers to use both buttons to keep a line of one combination for shutting down and turning on.
The option to turn on the units by the media button was an Easter egg, and we kept it.
You can turn on the unit by both options.
Thank you,
Cardo Team.
How do you “hard reset” packtalk edge?
Today I Used the Cardo to communicate with two other guides, after 7 hours riding with not whole lot of talking the unit used 75% battery, seemed odd as Ive ridden 10 hours listening to music and had 25% battery left, anyway once I turned the unit off it won’t turn back on nor does the charging light show charging. I tested power for source and all is good. However I cannot find a reset process, seems strange it just stopped working, hopeful thinking, but it just seemed strange if that makes sense. Haha thanks for the help
Dear Cardo, See DJI wireless mic system. The box they come in pair the unit automatically. Be nice to have a charge box so when you go into a restaurant you could put the units in there for charging . Just a idea!
This is just a great tutorial Mike thank you!! I really like your smooth moving directions that don’t drag on but are in depth.
I have 1 question. We are getting ready to go out and are going to need to connect 2 4X units with to 2 EDGE’S.
I seen how you do that with 1 but how will that be done with 2 4X’s as the Edge you did it with has now used up the one option?
I also understood you to say that with 1 4X and 2 Edge’s you don’t have to take your Edge’s to Bluetooth mode, do you have to with 2 of each unit? Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Do you know if this does connect to multiple non pack talks?
@@kyehodson8201 I have connected mine to 2 spirit models at the same time, so all 3 of us were able to talk to each other. I had 1 on A channel and 1 on B channel.
Bought the edge duo and 2 half helmet kits and had the same problem as the Freecon4 w/the half helmet kit 3 yrs ago there is a delay in transmission and when my passenger speaks, i hear her normal voice first the begining of the conversation kicks in thru the jbl speakers and the sound is overlapping. unable to use and returning again. Sorry Cardo, but the Scala Rider Q2 had no problems except that after 8 years batteries
would not charge and no replacement available.
When your around other groups using Cardos and when joining the group, how do you make sure your joining the right group and no one else joins your group?
My friend and I aren't interested in sharing music, but are we able to play our own choices of music independently WHILE in a DMC call?
I just bought this unit. Is there a way to just drive with the open mesh network and talk with other fellow bikers on the road while traveling on the roads similar to an open CB radio? Or would you have to connect to those riders as a mesh network say in a group ride only situation? In other words can you just have an open channel so to speak?
Hey, great question I believe support could help get you an answer! Contact them here : www.cardosystems.com/support-form/
Big question for you Cardo. I’m looking at your PTEdge and wondering if a Bluetooth Two way radio will hook up to one of those A & B channels. Want to use off-road sxsing. A lot of time we are not in the “line of site” for the designated Bluetooth group comms operation. This would be a big plus. There are some two way radios which will connect to your smartphone also. Will PT edge be able to talk on radio via smartphone connection? Trying to look at all options. I really like your product and if we can communicate through a two way radio also it would be fantastic.
What is the difference of “bike pairing”? I have S1000xr with the new TFT and i paired it as “GPS”
Great video, but I am still confused over the Bluetooth intercom. Based on this video you can either talk to your A channel OR you B channel, but not both. Is that correct? So you can't have 3 people all talking together? The manual indicates you can pair to rider A and rider B, then one of those can pair with a 4th rider for a total of 4 riders talking. But this video seems to indicate you can only pair with 2 others and talk to only one of those at a time.
Ive had A and B channel active at same time so 3 of us were talking together
Great system. I'm a little fuzzy on why one would pair the unit with two phones?? You didn't mention why, only that it does. It might be helpful for me because I have multiple potential passengers and they all have different helmets and no cardo systems. So if I have two phones paired to the one mesh device, can I assume that the passenger and I can talk , me with my cardo and she with a set of ear buds to her phone? Will the 2 nd phone even be able to pair to a second device like her ear buds once its already paired to he Cardo?? . So then does she have to call me or does it have a special mode to direct communications between the two paired bluetooth phones without necessity of an active phone call between the two paired phones??
I bought 6 Edge’s so my family and I can all have comms riding quads together. I set the first unit up - how do I set the other 5 units up??
Having trouble getting this to pair to my 2023 Fltrx Road Glide.
Any suggestions on what is going wrong.
Had it in Canada since July 2022 and didn't get chance to test group yet. Love everything about it except button command is a bit inconsistent. And, even without power saving, sometimes navigation on Maps and Waze will skip first few words then you'll hear the direction or street.
Love my Cardo’s AP Feature. After my software upgrade, my JBL’s blast! 👏👏👏
Hi, just bought my first PT edge last week and this tutorial was very helpful for the install, thanks. I have a question re music - you explain well how to skip tracks, adjust vol. etc - all good…. But what about selecting the music to play in the first place? I see in the app how to link to my Spotify and I’ve done that….but i cant see how I can navigate my Spotify library using Cardo app. Is this not possible? If not does that mean I just have to select a very long playlist in Spotify before I start ride and I am stuck with that playlist until I stop? Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial! I do have a question; when on my light flashes blue; throughout the video the cardo mostly flashed green. Is mine connected differently? Or incorrectly?
when using the voice commands , if you say for instance "Hey cardo, mute intercom", will the other people in the chat also hear that command or does it mute it somehow ?
great tutorial. But im having a problem with music sharing. I have an Edge and a packtalk black edition(like bold). I followed exactly the music sharing method,,, except when i press share music... it says 'Rider A not available'. How can I fix this?
When using these with a Garmin Zumo, does the PT blend the instructions from the Garmin with the Intercom chat? Or does it (like my current intercom) block all intercom talk for around ten seconds while the Garmin is giving instructions - which is really annoying!). If it blends, I’m buying these…..
Thanks for the tutorial. I just bought the Edge to replace the Freecom 4. Reason being is that the people with whom I ride all use Cardos with DMC.
Question as I can't seem to find the answer: after I connect to the group, how do I initiate a chat via the unit? Or is it all live?
And if I'm listening to music via the iPhone what happens when a chat between riders starts? Does the audio stream auto-mute or do I have to pause it manually?
Thanks.
Great video. I have my ktm branded packtalk edge arriving tomorrow to replace my packtalk bold. I thought I read somewhere that you could record audio conversations from within the app on the edge? Is this true?
Holy…. That was a ton of info. I want to talk my Road Captains into trying this over a CB radio but this much info will scare them off for sure. Sounds like a great product but who can remember all those commands. I like the idea of pairing through a cell phone app. Is it as easy as Pick and choose who’s on the group chat via the app? I’ll have to watch this a few more times…
Do they have to pair to a phone? Im looking to pick up a duo set so i can communicate with my 8 year old daughter who does not have a phone.
Great video, learned a few things today! I picked my edge up last month. After the learning curve it’s a very cool unit
Please please add the capability to dictate text (i.e. Google Voice Typing). Sena had this and I'm shocked Cardo doesn't (support confirmed it's not available). Would be so nice to dictate a quick text reply at a stoplight.
I have 2 Cardo edge. When I first received the product, I was able to do music share. I did something and now, can not do music share. I have reinstalled the update on both Carda. I can intercom but I no longer can music share.
I found it's fitted so easily into the Shoei NXR2.
Any tips for removing the cradle from the adhesive plate? I have it on there, but would like to remove it, leaving the adhesive plate on the helmet. I can't seem to get it to come off. Any recommendations?
Theres 2 tabs in the center of the adhesive plate,push those in to release and slide the cradle off
According to chapter 5 Mobile Phones, GPS, and Bike Pairings I can pair 2 phones, gps and my bike to ma cardo edge at the same time? So my Cardo edge should be like a "HQ" for all other devices?
I'm asking because I struggling a little bit to connect my KTM TFT, Samsung Galaxy S22, Cardo Edge and Garmin Zumo XT. I'm not able to connect them all togheter.
While aswering the call from my handlebar is important I connected phone and cardo to my KTM. I had to give up connecting my Zumo XT at all.
If it is possible could You write a sequence of pairing all devices togheter ?
Fantastic video. I am looking to order the Edge. This video will be a brain wash for me to learn all functions. I own a 2020 Goldwing which has Apple carplay. First time pairing, should I pair the Edge via TFT to the bike and first phone pairing to my Iphone? With the 6th gen Goldwing. You CANNOT have both Bluetooth on. If the iphone is connected to the bike via a cable for Carplay, the Bluetooth on the phone must be off. It will create a conflict, if not. The Bluetooth on the bike must stay on all the time.
At the 34 minute mark is the explanation of how to connect Edge to a Bluetooth device like the Freecom and a non-Cardo unit. The explanation then shows you how to intercom with each rider separately. Can you have an intercom with all three at the same time? The video doesn’t show that. Thanks.
I would like to know this aswell, did you ever find out?
@@BushmanDayZ never did.
@@bonzo2842 Ah bummer, thanks for responding anyway, have a good one
Hi. Question. Is it easy to remove and put back the mic? I dont think I'll use it that often as i mostly ride solo. Thinking to use this more to play media. Or when the mrs wants to tag along. 😂
What I want to know is how do I turn the volume down of the music without turning the volume down of the intercom at the same time. My wife rides with me and we both have our cellphones connected to our units and we are linked via DMC. But some times when I we ride we want the music lower so we can have a normal conversation. But when we turn the volume down it turns both down.
2 other of my friends uses packtalk edge and we have 7 other friends that uses either freecom x4 or spirit hd. Can i connect all of them on my edge and still able to talk to each other simultaneously?
Any sedici helmet works perfect with cardo install was pretty straight forward
