I have never had to add a Packtalk to the Cardo Connect app. It just sees the one that is BT connected to the phone. Perhaps the device addition on the app only needs to be done once and I have forgotten doing it when I first used the app. I just connected a Packtalk and fired up the Cardo Connect a...

It just dawned on me that it may require an internet connection to do an update check. By "update check" I mean device firmware.

Edit: DOH! This doesn't make sense considering I am wifi connected and could get to the app store so forget I said it.

Which version of the Cardo app are you using on you iphone 7? v5.9, same as you. My, spare, iphone is a 6 and runs version 5.9 and returns a "connection error" as does my ipad also running 5.9 when I attempt to establsh a connect to the app even though I can create a BT connection between...

THe only other thing that you may need is some mapping software. Explore is free, but it provides a different solution form the one that most people want. Garmin Basecamp is old, no longer supported or developed by Garmin - but it does everything that the XT needs to produce trouble free routing. Y...

Do instructions come with the Zumo XT that illustrate how to hardwire? Not bike specific instructions. If comes with a two-wire cable that can be connected directly to the battery or to any alternative power source. Whether it is best to wire to a switched source is a subject of debate here. The XT...

I'm astounded!!! I pulled an old iPhone7 out of the junk drawer, charged it, connected it to home wi-fi, when to the app store and installed Cardo Connect on it, and then attached and configure my and my wife's Packtalk Bold units. Not only am I surprised that this works, but I was also surprised th...

Does a Garmin Zumo XT require an internet service account or other type of monthly fee account for the GPS to work while on the road? Nope. Maps are stored on the XT. It communicates directly with satellites for location purposes. It can work in conjunction with the Garmin Drive app on a phone to p...

Welcome to the forum from Charlotte, NC with a brother in Franktown, CO. My wife and I rode out there in 2022 and spent some time in your great state. No worries about asking stupid questions. The forum members haven't indicated that they are tired of my mine. In fact, it's the contrary. They feel l...

My, possible, solution to using a phone to tweek the Cardo settings was going to be to take a second phone that is only used for that purpose and not switched on when the Cardo, Zumo and phione with Garmin Smart Link are in use. Would that work? This is an great idea. Having to manage my two Cardo'...

Those were the days! I can picture my tank bag with the transparent top pocket containing a folded map and handwritten turn instructions.
