This is probably one of the best, most in-depth, yet clearly explained tutorial videos iv ever watched. It's information heavy, but it has to be because this product has soooo many features to use. Pretty much just convinced me to purchase this specific product! Great job.
I think you guys have done a great job. I enjoy all the features that cardo has , I have one feature that I think that is missing from the application for Bluetooth mode. When you are pairing for a new device from your phone you have two options: pair or reset. I think that it would make a lot of difference if you have a third option “Select from List” Because every guy that I'm pairing with I am changing the name and I know how I am paired to, but every time I have to pair him again. So if you have the third option you're just selecting the guys that you want to pair to for the list and of you go Without any procedures. My cardo is the 4X and now i want to move to the NEO
Three things I'd like to see: PTT activation, so you don't have to "hey cardo mute mic, hey cardo unmute mic" - just push a button on the handlebar when you want to talk - wirelessly connected, and you can plug a charger into the bike so it never dies. The one for my ham radio lasts about a week though. Headset and charging able to be simultaneously connected, so I could use one of those cell phone power packs in my pocket to get way more time (not that 13 hours is entirely unreasonable, but that's optimistic too) A kit for a car - preferably android auto enabled. So I can stick an antenna on the roof, and use all these features from inside of a car without a helmet. Would be great for a chase vehicle. I don't mean a headset with a cardo on the earpiece, I mean the antenna unit OUTSIDE of the car where it can get halfway OK range. Bonus points for being able to connect more than two devices, so I could hook it up to my bikes tablet, my phone, and GMRS / ham radio simultaneously. I can get a LOT more range out of those than a mile - it's just not private or as feature packed.
I just got mine in the mail today. I should have been studying this from the moment i ordered, i knew they had tons of abilities but holy crap this was informative
@@bridgeberry1 anyone with a couple of bluetooth noisecancelling earbuds, a bt remote and a phone with a comm-app. Completly crushes anything cardo has to offer. And much, much cheaper. (Everyone pretty much has a smartphone these days)
the Edge also has it, but the Neo is basically an Edge without the convenience features, so: it has no magnet, you can’t charge it while riding, and you have to plug/unplug the cable every time you put it on or take it off. it’s substantially cheaper than the Edge, so it may be worth it for some people to give up these features while keeping the same core functionality.
OK, bought the neo to have a better range with other packtalk users in the group but finding it no better than using my bluetooth connection from my Interphone tour. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Best I can get, In DMC, Neo to Bold is about 500 yards with clear line of sight. Both units up to date with software.
Hey Mike if I have 15 Cardo's in a group and wanted to delete a rider that sold his Cardo for a Sena, how do I delete that one individual rider from the Group?
Might I suggest add the unique Edge features on the end. Save having to make watch two videos and at the end the rider can decide which one they prefer. Just sayin’.
Serious question. Can you make a group without using the App, it’s a rather clunky method. The Older Packtalk +bold you sat around the table, got them all flashing red purple in DMC mode and one presses the pair button for two seconds and became admin they all joined. No app necessary. We have an Edge rider and we can’t get him in to our group easily.
Edge and Neo differ only in locking system, cable?. Interestingly, how to sound when compared to Packtalk Black and Edge/NEO is it the same?. Because the speaker is Black 45mm while the Edge/Neo is 40mm
Very great video. I have a question. Is there a way to communicate at same time with 3 my friends having all different brands and only bluetooth? I read manual of edge but the only think i understood is i can communicate until 4 riders but i did not understand the way.
On my Sprit HD i found music shares better when BOTH rider and passenger are bluetooth direct to ONE phone. There is lag and inability to talk while listening in "share music" mode. Any change to this on the NEO?? I've just placed my order.
Good video, I just bought a NEO, I have a problem, with voice commands the assistant does not activate, ok Google, with the physical button yes, my language is Spanish, but I can't get it. Can you help me

I’m baffled by the design here - why not plug the usb-c cable into the cradle instead of the unit itself, so that it stays there and doesn’t dangle even if the unit is removed to charge? when the unit is clicked on, the data transfer between the unit and the cable should be done via connectors between the cradle and the unit. I can’t imagine how they could have possibly arrived at the current design decision instead of this infinitely more intuitive one.
Hey Cardo, have you made new 40mm JBL speakers that are round instead of that pear shape that the older ones had? Are these now available also on the previous models like Packtalk edge? Seems these would fit way better into some speaker pockets (*cough* Shoei NXR2 *cough*).
Very informative video, but very complicated. He learned this, it takes a lot of time to practice it. I think you should strive for simplicity. I don't want to press the intercom, I want to ride a motorbike. This is as complicated as the large infotainment "TV" in cars is unnecessary.
I think their trying to show what all it's capable of. No way everyone uses every funtion, but if there's one or two abilities that ring your bell, seems pretty easy to lock those actions into memory and get it on.
The mount on the edge allows you to charge your Cardo while using it which is fantastic for long rides which also would mean that the 3 year warranty would benefit that too. So it’s always a good idea to check the comparisons. I don’t know how much of a price difference it was 7 months ago but the cost difference from what I can see now between the Edge and Neo is only US$40.
Will Cardo repair a bad female speaker connector? The connectors are the weak spots. Gotta be a better way. I would think someone could make a Bluetooth app for your phone that would serve the same purpose.
There is no difference. Same shit, new wrapping. Get yourself some jabras/sony bluetooth noisecancelling earbuds, and your life will be much better on a motorcycle. I`ve had Cardos too, but they are really bad, compared to the solution im using now.
Great question! The Neo is available at a lower price vs the Edge with changes such as no magnetic mount. The ORV and Edge are very similar but the ORV is marketed specifically for outdoor vehicles.
@@CardoSystemsGlobal thanks for the reply. So if I’m going to be using it to ride with friends and family primarily on DNR or public roads, or off road parks I should buy the ORV model?
I honestly find the decision with the audio connector directly into the unit kinda stupid, a real design flaw. Why couldn't it be directly added into the cradle as in the freecom lineup for example? I get that you didn't want for the NEO to have the same features as the EDGE (charging while riding and magnetic connector), but you already went ahead and slightly changed the design body of the neo...why not simply add the pins to it so that rider doesn't have to always do a two step job when connecting the unit in the cradle. Let's say I forgot my unit at home..than I would need to ride with that stupid cable dingaling around.
So...-Cardo is STILL still sporting speakers in the helmet and no support for bluetooth earbuds. A smart phone and a couple of noise-cancelling bluetooth earbuds are far, far superior to a Cardo solution. And who wants to destroy their own hearing with super-high volumes to hear thru traffic and road-noise, when you can get a decent pair of earbuds for a quarter of the price? With much, much better sound? I bought a cardo kit ten years ago. That had about the same features as the one in the video. Kinda says it all. Same shit, new wrapping.
1. How does the smartphone-earbud solution provide comms? 2. Surely the sound quality would be epic (can use wired earbuds with this system as welll) but on a call FOR SURE the wind noise would be atrocious for the person you're trying to talk to, you know this, 3. To my knowledge, no company in this space (as of this post) supports pairing to Bluetooth earbuds, open to learn about who is, 4. My first Cardo was 6 years ago and this is crazy advanced by comparison, are there any other tech companies that you judge based on an experience you had 10 years ago?
@@bridgeberry1 1. U use an app. There are many of them made for motorcycle communication. 2. I have very little windnoise. The earbuds are sealed in my ears. (foam/rubber-tipped) and the earbuds has noise-reduction software. Talking about windnoise....how are speakers better? Then U have to volume up to COMBAT the wind noise. Its a much worse solution and even the JBL-option sounds terrible! 3. My point was: They should. 4. I totally dont agree. Like I said: Same shit, new wrapping. There`s nothing really new here. More stable and better sound perhaps, but otherwise its still clunky, cumbersome and terrible to use compared to a smart phone, a cheap android/iphone remote attached to the handlebars and some quality bt earbuds. U should try to, U`ll never go back to this Cardo dinosaur-crap;) And its stupidly expensive for what u get. Everybody has a smartphone. So bt earbuds + remote = easily under 150 bucks. Cardo: 389 dollars for packtalk edge.

I just started using my Packtalk Neo a few day’s ago and love it! This video will be useful to show me the Neo’s full potential! 😁🙌
Can’t wait to hear about your experience!
Brilliant video! Just bought the Neo and listening to this video now with helmet on through Neo 😂. Thank you!

Mike, Cardo continues to advance their products and proves to be the leader in comm systems. Nice job!
No, their holding back. With dinosaur-tech solutions.
@soulslaveone Please share with us a company in this space that's doing it better
Thanks so much! It’s means a lot!
@@CardoSystemsGlobal why did you chose not to put connectors on the back like the spirit have? It seems such a weird decision.
@@bridgeberry1 anyone with a couple of bluetooth noisecancelling earbuds, a bt remote and a phone with a comm-app. Completly crushes anything cardo has to offer. And much, much cheaper. (Everyone pretty much has a smartphone these days)
Great idea using a universal pin connection for the speakers. Makes it easy to connect different speakers.👍👍
Even the Spirit has the connectors so you don't have to plug an usb cable to the back. But this model doesn't?
the Edge also has it, but the Neo is basically an Edge without the convenience features, so: it has no magnet, you can’t charge it while riding, and you have to plug/unplug the cable every time you put it on or take it off. it’s substantially cheaper than the Edge, so it may be worth it for some people to give up these features while keeping the same core functionality.
Definitely feel like there will be issues if that USB C connection gets wet. The Edge has the connection inside the helmet also protected.
Where is it on this NEO? It's on the outside?
It would be great to see the next gen using beam forming mics (like uClear), much neater for flip-up helmets.
🎶 You’re simply the BEST, better than all the rest! @Cardo Systems 👂🏽

What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Best I can get, In DMC, Neo to Bold is about 500 yards with clear line of sight. Both units up to date with software.
When I connect bluetooth intercom to my Neo and play music, somehow the music play not smooth. Its breaking out. Any idea?

una bellissimo TUTORIAL come questo in ITALIANO sarebbe professionale da parte di CARDO !
I have Apple CarPlay on my bike. Will this show up on it and will I be able to control it from there?
I don't know what I am doing wrong. When I try to speak to another rider, I hear what I am saying in my speakers, and the other rider can't hear me
is dmc universal to all intercoms? for example is it possible to connect with dmc 2 cardo and 3 sena ?
Might I suggest add the unique Edge features on the end. Save having to make watch two videos and at the end the rider can decide which one they prefer. Just sayin’.
The audio cable would be dangling if I remove the unit for charging etc.. Why was it not built into the craddle?

Where you can change from DMC to Bluetooth and vice versa in the central unit without the need for the app on a Neo paltack, thanks
Is the DMC all riders within a single mile or could 15 riders remain in contact over 15 miles?
Oh I see, it says 5 miles maximum.
Thank you very much for your added value and super product. Greetings from Belgium

Hi is there a way to swap controls between 2 paired phones ?
What is the difference between the Neo and the Edge, and what is the difference between the Freecom and Spirit?
Hey great question, here’s a comparison chart www.cardosystems.com/products/#compare. We also have videos on our page comparing the models! 😊
DMC mode can make group connection with non cardo intercoms? for example, 2 Sena 3 Cardo can be on DMC?
Can Bold grouping with Neo? 22:05
