I can't thank you enough for your video. The booklets that come with the kit are useless and my partner and I spent half a day trying to get them to work. 19 minutes of watching you and we are all sorted. Cheers from Australia.
Funny, I thought it was quite intelligent. Reject a call, just flick the wheel. Button to answer then tap the wheel to hangup. I'm not a rocket scientist but this is pretty straight forward.
Agreed! I’ve had a Cardo G4 for about 15 years and a G9 for about 7 years. Both very easy & intuitive to use. Bought a Freecom 2x recently (only because buttons on the G4 and G9 finally started to perish after a lot of use over many years in all weather) and can’t believe how comparatively complex it is to use, despite having no additional features. Whoever designed the Freecom is an idiot trying to justify his/her existence.
Is it possible to connect to my freecom 4x an another one unit of the freecom 4x as rider A and second one of 2x and as rider B and still talk in conference mode?
If you ride with the same rider will the cardo intercom automatically pair for each session? Or, do you have to repair if you haven't ridden together in a week or so.
No one seems to know the answer of this :)) can you or can you not have both intercom and music sharing/navigation audio guidance on at the same time? I know it's possible with the Packtalk series, not sure about the Freecom. Thanks!
Cardo units are by far the best intercom, but i have to mention than in foreign countries we have different accent so in order to make voice commands to work you have to include some variations...
Most bikes come with infotainment these days. How should those be paired? As GPS or as a second phone. I have tried a second phone, it pairs, but does not appear to connect to the second device on startup, only the initial pair. Your instructions and manuals need to cover this in depth.
Hey, I have a Cardo Freecom 2+ and my wife has a Spirit, but I can't share music with here, is there any problem with Freecom 2+ connecting with the spirit line?
@@Typhoon183cc does this work? I ve read itl only work with 4x. I bought a 2x and I'm gonna upgrade to the 4x just to do this. Its crazy having to spend $500 to be able to use voice commands
anyone having intercom issues? intercom keeps cutting when active, it can cut for 5 seconds or 45 seconds, both unit were reset to factory but didn't fix anything, music from phone is flawless..
Same here, incredibly disappointing. Wish I went with my first choice (packtalk edge) instead of freecom 4x. No one can really hear what I’m saying, keeps cutting my voice out mid sentence.
About 4x. If i am connected to A and B rider and one of them is connected to C rider, how can i talk only to C rider without A or B listening? Is it possible?
Make sure your media volume is turned up on your phone, as the music plays from it thru the Cardo. That said, you can play music via the radio function ("Hey, cardo, radio on") even without a phone paired. Just need to set your favorite stations first or search for them with the roller.
I figured it out for Spotify Play...hit the music icon, on the top of the screen. To the right of Music is an icon that looks like a radio wave, click on it. That will display all your music sources on your phone. Select your source and there you go.
Is there any way to actually get the 2 pieces of garbage that came together in the same package to actually connect to each other? I don't need my intercom to launch the damned space shuttle, I would like it to actually connect to it's counterpart so that we can hear each other!
I actually found it simple. I had my helmet with me and paused each time he went thru something and tried and tested it with my partners helmet. Can't fault this video.
I loved my Cardo so much when it was new, but I have seven friends with Cardos, and all seven say there’s nothing you can do to make full group mesh connections. These instructions simply do not work..
I really do not understand why the user has to do all this to set up the cardo system it should just work without having to do any of this apart from extra riders added to a ride seriously.

Is there anyway you can make this more complicated
Absolutely! One button to answer a call, but another to cancel, another button to reject a call! It's like someone was paid to make it complex.
Funny, I thought it was quite intelligent. Reject a call, just flick the wheel. Button to answer then tap the wheel to hangup. I'm not a rocket scientist but this is pretty straight forward.
Plus on mine, the buttons are very hard to push. The speakers sound great but I’m frustrated with function.

I should have stuck with a SENA🤦♂️
Great video! And bonus points for a killer ring tone, AC/DC - Shot in the dark!
Fairly straight forward video. I just bought a set of freecomm x2 for my brother and me and wasnt sure how to properly work it
Can FREECOM 2X wirelessly connect with GoPro Hero 10 Black?
Is it possible to connect to my freecom 4x an another one unit of the freecom 4x as rider A and second one of 2x and as rider B and still talk in conference mode?
any chance of making a firmware update where i can have my gopro 12 connected and still listen to music .. pretty lame its only 1 or the other
Thank you so much for sharing in detail cardo freecom 2x you deserve five stars !
nice video very helpful cheers
Does it work with youtube cuz i can't get mine to work voice commands with youtube or anything other then radio and phone calls
Its Possible to do the same on with four Cardo Spirit ??

How do you adjust the volume when using a navigation app? 😢🇦🇺
You should be able to set the nav volume by adjusting your phone's media volume before you start your trip.
It only works if I say hey Bixby, nothing happens if I say hey cardo?
Does it read out your text from the phone?

I experienced the same issue when bluetooth connected to my bike’s infotainment system - stopped when that was disconnected.
The "Hey Cardo" function doesn't work for me, have the setting turned on and tested it but got no response, anyone else experienced this?
Yeah, same. “Hey siri” works just fine though
Same here
Can I listen to music from RUclips ??
Como se hace para enlazarlo al tft de mi bmw r1250rt?
About 4x. If i am connected to A and B rider and one of them is connected to C rider, how can i talk only to C rider without A or B listening? Is it possible?
Use the phone.
Is the music function done through Apple music or what? Because I can’t get my FreeCom 4x to play music.
I just bought a Freecom 2x today. Had no issue playing music. I have android and use Spotify.
@@matty2000shoes man I’ve tried Spotify also and it just won’t come up.

I am with ya Jay... I can play the radio, but music like from Spotify on my Android, I can't play on my 4x

Hello
is it possible to listen to music and talk to another rider at the same time?
Yeah you can it works pretty good the music will go lower in volume when you or the other person talks
@@armaangill675 even for freecom 2x this feature is working?
Yes. It worked when I was riding with my brother and bad music playing
This is the most complicated way you could possibly make this
This is also like the 5th video they've made on the topic if they tells you anything. Must be a ton of user complaints.
@@domenik8339I can understand why there would be. This system works great but it is not user friendly.

There’s a lot of little things to remember that’s all

So many bullshit complications
Just use the voice command only at that point💀
I have never ever seen such a complicated way to plug and connect anything. For the price tag my god...
