New helmet required a new BlueTooth system. Chose the Cardo G9 over others based on Anthony's reviews and other research. Initial installation went well, but the sound quality was very poor. I removed everything from helmet and repacked it. Called Revzilla who said to call Cardo. Called Cardo who was willing to accept it back for evaluation. One thing the Cardo Rep said didn't sink in until later in the day. You MUST install the speakers so that they are touching your ears. I scrounged some soft foam and placed it behind the speakers to move them closer to my ears. Rich, full, dynamic stereo resulted! iPhone link and FM radio work as described. Buttons take some getting used to, especially with thick gloves. No chance to test rider-rider intercom yet. I recommend this unit only if you can install the speakers so that they are right up tight to your ears.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I do not recommend buying a single unit in anticipation to linking to other Scala Rider units. The Toronto Moto Scooter Club is finding that although factory linked units work very well, linking between single G2, G4 and G9 units is problematic.
Neither RevZilla nor Cardo have so far been able to help.
Neither RevZilla nor Cardo have so far been able to help.
Further, these units are ill suited to use in Modular Helments because of microphone placement problems.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I am using the G9 on a half helmet and the length of the boom mike is no problem whatsoever. Installation was easy and rather painless! I would suggest helmet pads for the inside of the strap on half helmets, this makes speaker placement and comfort a lot better.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome device, first one I've ever owned so nothing to compare to. For the phone functions and bluetooth music, it is clear and works flawlessly. I will be using it with some friends soon to test out all of the functionality, but for right now extremely satisfied!!

I've been a Scala Rider user for years. This unit is a nice step above the G4 and does everything it claims to so I won't waste time rehashing features.
I purchased this to use with my Schuberth C3 helmet. I know that Cardo/Schuberth make the SRC system specifically for the C3 but it uses the guts of the G4 and, not having an external antenna, doesn't quite have the same range. The glue plate mounting option for the G9 isn't nearly as elegant as the SRC but I'm not in this for looks.
Unfortunately it is a pain to mount the G9 onto a Schuberth C3. You can't use the clamp mount at all (as far as I can tell) and it is pretty difficult to get a good purchase on the helmet with the glue plate. Part of the problem is the slider for the helmet's internal sun visor and part of it is the design of the glue plate mount...the mount doesn't stick out far enough for the bracket that holds the G9 unit in place to totally clear the helmet. It is kind of difficult to explain and I don't think most helmets will have this issue and maybe if I play with it a bit more a lightbulb will go on. Until that happens, though, be wary of your mounting options, especially on helmets that have obstructions near the bottom such as sun visor sliders or curves in the helmet design.
If it does fit your helmet it is an excellent product. Me? I just gave up on mounting it on my Schuberth and clamped it on tight to my Akuma Apache.

Answer:
Yes, the G9 will fit the G4 mount. However, the speakers included with the G9 mount are better quality than those included with the G4 mount. If you are upgrading from the G4, we recommend installing the G9 mount and speakers, in order to take full advantage of the improvements.2 weeks, 4 days ago

Answer:
Two Cardo G9 units can communicate in 4-way conversation with two G4 units.Basically you pair the G9 set together and pair the G4 set together. Then pair 1 unit of the G9 set to 1 unit of the G4 set. Once the G9 unit is connected to the G4 unit, both will form a bridge between their other pairing. This in should establish the link between all 4. Cardo System's website has very nice tutorials on how to pair them. Honestly it's a much easier to watch their animations than understand worded directions.
