Scala Rider Q2 from Cardo

[IdleUp]

Just installed the new Scala Rider Q2 from Cardo - great system: rider to passenger, rider to other bikes, GPS, Cell Phone, Built in FM radio, super system for the money. Took just 30 minutes to install and pair up a set.

With my Razor Phone linked to it, I can either say the phone number or say the name of the person I have in my phone and it dials out hands free.

Nice addition for the Spyder - no radio speakers flopping around!

The wife and I bought a pair of them last weekend when I bought my spyder. They've performed perfectly, made another ride down to Ft. Myers this weekend cause I needed my first service and we chatted the whole way. We've gotten some pretty good distance between our bikes and have had no problems. Received a couple phone calls and have been able to talk and hear perfectly at 70 mph.

On a side note, since you can't pair an mp3 player with the system I bought an fm transmitter to plug into my Ipod and use that to pipe my tunes through the radio. Works pretty good. :thumbup:

Sleepman did you find the audio level of phone calls a bit low? Radio seems fine but the phone call audio level could be a bit higher.

How far are the speakers from your ears in your helmet?

Thanks

Glad to here good things on the Scala Q2 as I guess the wife and I are going to get a pair too. :clap:

Initially I had the Scala in my Zox helmet and at higher speeds it was harder to hear both the phone and fm radio. I was getting a lot of wind noise in side the helmet. I got a new Shoei RF-1000 helmet and moved the scala to that one. Since I did that I've had no problems with volume on the phone or radio. As a matter of fact it's loud enough that I've found myself turning the volume done. I can't say how close the speakers are to my ears but it's a snug helmet.

For the most part, the FM radio is almost worthless on our headsets since when we get the volume right for the FM, I can't hear the intercom volume.

I ended up leaving the FM off (too bad)
