I got one of these and it fell off i was so disappointed.
Cardo weren't interested at all I had to stick it on with sugru.
Has yours stayed on ?
On the Shoei helmets there is a plastic cutout on the side of the helmet that cardo have made a custom holder for the Cardo unit. It's very sturdy and we have had no issues. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, if you are going for a Comms unit try and avoid glue or stick on types ( I don't trust it ) . Thanks for watching ! Safe riding !
Hello BeatzBikez. Thank you for this detailed sharing (since not so much on this topic !). I have also a GT-Air 2 and was wondering if it would accept the 40mm diameter JBL loudspeakers from Cardo since the primary GT-Air 2 embodiment with SENA SLR2 was using smaller speakers roughly 30mm diameter only. From your experience, then it seems this works fine with the JBL as well ? Is the sound quality OK ?
The cardo packtalk edge comes with 40mm JBL and you can upgrade to 45mm at a cost. I don't see there being an issue with upgrading to the 45mm as the cavity inside the helmet should have enough room. The sound quality on the standard 40mm is good enough for voice and music ( not that I can listen to music while riding it's far too distracting) , volume at half is loud enough for me. Let us know how you get on, Thanks for watching!
@@beatzbikez Thank you for your quick feed-back. Ride safe !
This is good, but dude you gotta use more lighting. Once you were working inside the helmet, we can't see a single thing you're doing
When it comes to the entire wire installation you’ve lost me. Can’t see anything being done in the video
There are no given places for the wires, you have to improvise in placing them "out of the way" . The wires are looped under the helmet padding and stuck down with a small bit of clear tape, there really is nothing much to it. I'm sure you will be just fine installing the Cardo Edge, any issues let me know ill be happy to help you.
@@beatzbikez lots of swear words and 3 hours later I finally had it good enough to not drive me insane. My only problem was tucking the cord- mic cord connection point and the aux connection point was very bulky
They are bulky! Those wires are tucked in the cheek pad on both helmets making sure the wires are not near the white pop clips. Glad you got there in the end, keep safe out there !
@@beatzbikez I ended up pushing mine through the cheek pad clip hole rather than cutting. It smashed them pretty flat idk if that’s fine but I don’t have very much faith in wiring as I’ve had 2 cars go down from shotty wiring😂
