This is my first intercom system and I'm really satisfied with it. It couldn't be easier to install and the user guide is straight forward and easy to understand. The FM radio, cell phone, and mp3 functions are good although the sound could be better (better than expected from such small units). Haven't tried the intercom yet. It would be nice if the speakers could be unplugged from the unit so you could use a different style. Installed in a Symax II helmet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great product once you have correctly installed. Installation could take some time and has some trick to do it correctly (wiring, placing speakers in the perfect spot) but it's overall pretty straightforward. Operation is great. Some nice improvements would be the possibility to change speakers / earphones (flat profile wired speakers are good but could be better), Mac support for the software and caller ID-to-speech for incoming calls. Overall very satisfied with the product!!

Really easy to install and use. Certainly improves riding experience, listen to music, answer calls, and on touring scenarios it is so much fun and safer to be able to communicate with other riders!
Furthermore, passengers feel so much safer just to be able to speak with the rider! (i.e. "Slow down", "watch out", etc).

The Cardo G4 Powerset does what it says it will do. However, you need to read the small print in the manual before you buy. this is because the Cardo bluetooth protocol is compatible with only a few GPS devices (Garmin ZUMOs only and a couple of TOM-TOMs). Your cell phone also requires multiple Bluetooth protocols to be compatible with the CARDO4 as well.
So it comes down to buying all your comm devices with the compatibility that will match your Cardo 4 and not the other way around. So upgrade accordingly.
Also, if you have a fullface helmet consider the optional speaker microphone to replace the Boom mike. It gives you more room to breath inside the helmet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Siempre habia tenido audifonos de otras marcas y la verdad al comprar los Cardo quede sorprendido de la claridad en el sonido y del alcance que tienen ya que con los anteriores si no veia a mi compañero seguro que no lo podia escuchar y ahora verdaderamente me sirven para no perdernos en las desviaciones del camino o escuchar las sugerencias de ruta o simplemente ir platicando como si estuvieramos en casa.

Revzilla had a great deal on the G4. Picked it up 2 weeks ago, and installed it the night I rec'd. I love being able to communicate with my riding buddy, and no one knows that I'm on my bike when I call them from my cell phone. In hilly areas, the intercom link can get spotty, when I don't have line of site to the other rider. So not sure on the distance claims. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wear an arai rx-q helmet and the boom mic that comes standard will fit inside but not much room inside. I also ordered the corded mic but not until after trying the boom mic on a few trips. All you need to do is order the corded mic here on revzilla for $40 if you want it. Cardo doesn't offer it in a package, just separately.Age: 25-34

Answer:
No, you have to pair both headsets to an iPhone. I believe you can only pair 1 phone per system. So your partner will need another iPhone or iPod (you can manually connect it). I think the best bet is for you to get an Mp3 player and just connect it with a cord.Age: 18-24

Answer:
I'm pretty sure these are universal fit. It's just a mount that you can either stick on or bolt. The bolting system is easy, you just slide part of the plate in between the outer shell and the the inside and tighten some screws. They also have a 3M adhesive mount that you just peel and stick onto your helmet. Make sure to clean the area of mounting though to have maximum grip.Age: 18-24

I can tell you that the Q2 will not work well on the Schuberth C3 and I would think that the same is true of the G4. The reason is that the rim of the helmet is too thick for the clamping device and the profile shape prevents the stick-on mount from working.Age: 55-64

On the Cardo G4 can gps directions be heard through both headsets
Answers
Answer:
I get the GPS directions on my helmet I have not tried on both.2 months, 1 week ago
Answer:
Not quite sure what your question is. On headset attached to GPS - Instructions are in stereo - both speakers. If you are riding with a buddy on a different bike or a pillion they wont hear it. Your pillion rider might be able to connect to the gps at the same time but I would say another bike wouldnt because the bluetooth wont travel far enough.Age: 45-54

I just contacted Cardo directly, and they informed me that GPS, iPod or other bluetooth connections would only broadcast to the unit that is paired with it, so the passenger would not also hear those directions.

Answer:
I do not have a wired mike version. Although I have been considering it, there is 0 clearance between the helmet and mouth due to the foam that is around the mike. I have considered removing the foam cover from the mike to increase clearance, but have not tried this yet. I do not know what software verion I have. I would have liked to make sure that it was updated, but I have a Mac and I have found that the G4 does not have software upgrades thru Mac as of yet, the upadates are only available thru pc's.
