Cardo Systems, a Bluetooth communicator maker for motorcycle riders, has a new software update. The update lets Cardo users talk to riders who use other brands of Bluetooth communicators. The update is free and can be downloaded from the Cardo Connect app.
The update uses Cardo’s Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) technology. DMC lets up to 15 riders talk in a group that stays connected even if someone leaves or joins. DMC also has better sound, range, and battery than regular Bluetooth intercoms.
Cardo Systems is the only company that lets users connect with any Bluetooth communicator brand. This gives riders more options and freedom when riding with friends. The update works with any Cardo device or any other brand, such as Sena, Fodsports, Ejeas, Hjc, and more.
The update also has other features for Cardo’s devices, such as voice control, music equalizer, automatic volume adjustment, and battery level indicator. Cardo users can install the update over the air without a cable or a computer.
With the new update, Cardo users can enjoy DMC technology and talk to any other Bluetooth communicator on the market. This is a big change for the motorcycle industry and a great thing for riders who want to stay connected on the road without buying new communicators with upgraded features.
