    Default Sena SMH-10 Firmware Update Ver 5.0 Released

    For those who have Sena SMH-10 Intercoms, Firmware version 5.0 has finally been released.

    This is "supposed" to allow Sena intercoms to talk to non Sena units. This is the update that I had originally heard was going to be released last December. See link for further details.

    I take it this is strictly the SMH-10 and not the SMH-10R respectively?

    As mentioned the firmware update is only for the SMH-10.

    firmware_versions.jpg

    The new multi-Brand feature is called "UNIVERSAL INTERCOM". Here's some excerpts from the manual.

    17. UNIVERSAL INTERCOM
    You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth
    headsets using the Universal Intercom function. Non-Sena Bluetooth
    headsets can be connected to the Sena Bluetooth headset if they
    support the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
    . The working
    distance may differ depending on the performance of Bluetooth
    headset that it is connected to. In general, it is shorter than normal
    intercom distance since it uses the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile.

    17.1 Universal Intercom Pairing
    The SMH10 can be paired with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets for
    Bluetooth intercom conversation. You can pair the SMH10 with only
    one non-Sena Bluetooth headset
    ; if you pair with a different non-
    Sena Bluetooth headset, the previous pairing list will be removed.

    17.3 Three-way Universal Intercom
    You may make a three-way Universal Intercom connection with
    two SMH10s and one non-Sena Bluetooth headset. If the intercom
    connection is made, all headsets connected cannot use the mobile
    phone call function
    since the connection between the headset and
    the phone is disconnected temporarily.

    Default Limited distance

    Since Sena is using bluetooth to connect to non Sena headset the usable distance I would guess be 40 or 50 feet. That would make that feature of limited use. It would work well in situations when you are stopped close to each other, intersections, etc.

    Why would you say that? Sena shows a range of 900 meters which may be stretching it a bit but Louise and I have no trouble at half a mile or so with our SMH10R Bluetooth headsets.

    Wonder when they will have the update for the SMH-10R?

    Oh, and anyone know how to get the serial number from the SMH-10R headsets? Don't see it on them.

    I have the same model as you the SPH10H. Support for Sena told me the new firmware 5 would be coming to our model. I was giving him an ear full about the 4.3 version skipping our model.

    You also need to upgrade Sena software on your PC. Sena recommended it.

    Default New SENA Firmware for more devices

    SENA has new firmware for the SMH10R, SMH5 & SMH5-FM. This brings the Universal Intercom and Sidetone features to 3 more of their Bluetooth Devices. These features were previously available to the SMH-10.

    "...pleased to announce the release of the version 5.0 of the SMH10R and 2.0 of the SMH5 and SMH5-FM with major enhancements in functions and features such as Universal Intercom and Advanced Noise Control™.

    - Universal Intercom™: You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the Universal Intercom™ function.

    - Advanced Noise Control™: It is equipped with wind noise suppression and intelligent Noise Gate in the intercom to limit the interference of wind noise and background noise while riding.

    - Sidetone: If this feature is enabled, you can hear what you are speaking during an intercom conversation or a phone call.

    You can upgrade your firmware using the new Device Manager v2.0.1 for Windows and Mac users.

    Please be sure to register your product online in order to download the new Manager software, since free upgrade service is provided only to the registered users. For more details, please visit Sena web site at www.SenaBluetooth.com."

    well after attempting to upgrade my SMH10 and failing, I contacted Sena and they issued me an RMA to send the unit back to them

    got an email back from them that they are sending me a new unit since apparently there was a problem with mine - waiting for it to arrive any day now...

So I contact tech support and person says watch this youTUbe...which I did but it went so fast no way could I figure it out. Another frustration for my non techi brain.
    Anyone out there able to help me or I'm bringing "stuff" to Spyderfest and I could meet you somewhere. Thanks. A PM would be best..that way I know I got the response.

    It gets a bit more involved when you start adding additional helmets

    You mention the helmets being paired to each other...they can be paired to each other "and" to separate iPods?


    I'll have to try it and use the button you mention, thanks.

    The helmets function totally independently until the intercom function is activated. The intercom has first priority in the system.

    Yes, remember that the intercom communication from helmet to helmet is not a Bluetooth connection. The range would be to short.
