Release notes 3.2

Love Bluetooth brands that don’t talk to each other? Neither do we! That’s why the following release is one we are extremely proud of. On top of your current OBi connectivity, your device can now also seamlessly communicate with the latest generation Senas, directly via the standard Bluetooth intercom.

1. Forget the hassle of using Bluetooth devices of different brands. The experience will be as seamless as connecting and communicating between two devices of the same brand and won’t require universal pairing on either side. Just pair, connect, and go.
2. Eat the cake and keep it whole! No more sacrificing the mobile connection channels, you will keep the ability to receive phone calls, and navigation instructions and listen to music or FM on either side (parallel audio is based on the support of specific models).
3. Please note that, just as music sharing is not supported between two different generations of Cardo products, it won’t be possible to share music between different brands.

Release Notes 3.0

The below notes refer to users of Packtalk Edge and Neo.

1. Your unit now supports Open Bluetooth Intercom (Obi) – a new cross-industry standard allowing supported units from Cardo, Midland, and UClear to communicate seamlessly with one another. OBi will be activated automatically when paired to a supported device. No further toggling is needed.
2. For non-OBi units, your Packtalk can now integrate with any other Bluetooth brand more seamlessly. All you need to do is to pair your unit in Bluetooth mode like you would do to any other Cardo Unit. The other branded unit will pair through its own “universal pairing” channel. No more choosing between pairing to a non-Cardo unit or keeping your phone connection.
3. Riding against the wind? Aren’t we all? Your DMC intercom will now perform more robustly in large groups.
4. Love leaving voice messages on your messaging app? WeChat, WhatsApp & Skype voice messages will now stream into your device more fluidly
5. For our Spanish-speaking audience we say, “Hola Amigos!” We have resolved the issue of the system performing an unwanted “Redial Number” during an intercom chat.
6. Two-way radio users (Professionals and first intervention units) the new software version will now allow integrating two-way radio input into an active mobile call. Function needs to be activated via the CardoConnect app setting screen.
7. As always, we added a host of bug fixes. Essentially it’s like adjusting your chain but without the injured fingers and messy grease stains.

Release Notes 2.7

1. Join the Party! Packtalk Edge users can join existing 1st gen DMC groups of Packtalk Bold/Black/Slim. The existing system admin adds Packtalk Edge users like any other 1st gen Packtalk.
2. Left your smartphone on mute? No problem! A muted smartphone will still ring in your helmet when a call is coming.
3. Orange bleeders, your supported KTM TFT now correctly transfers “OK Google” commands. It now also works better with Siri.
4. Share the vibe AND the intercom. When sharing music over DMC bridge, both parties can now continue to chat via the DMC intercom in parallel.
5. Love your GPS? We have improved the robustness, reliability, and consistency of GPS vocal instructions transfer through your headset.
6. Automatic Volume Control now works more smoothly and seamlessly. Just remember to enable the Automatic Volume Control feature through your app settings (off by default).
7. Improved stability and bug fixes – it’s like your motorcycle went through a good oil change and tune-up but without the mess and grease stains.

Release Notes 2.6

1. Natural Voice Operation performance has been improved to help you with hands-free riding.
