Jinks, I had a question. If you have the Zumo GPS and your Phone connected to the Scala Rider with Bluetooth and you want to make a call can you use the screen on the Zumo to to locate the number and call out?

Also, if you shut off the phone or GPS or the Scala Rider do you have to go through the whole locate and connect thing again or will they just recognize each other and pair-up when they are turned on and in range?

Thanks in advance.

+1...as long as the helmet covers the ears (for the speakers), you're good to go. Love my Scala. I was riding with a 3/4 helmet the other day & a phone call came in. It was very windy and my friend couldn't even tell I was on the bike. I have the Q2...LOVE it!!!

The Q2 is mono. That's my only complaint about the system. It's not that big of a deal to me since I use it for bike to bike, GPS and very rarely, the phone. BUT, if they had stereo speakers, I'd have opted for those for sure.

Yes. when a call comes in, it shows up on your Zumo as well.

Once paired...you're good to go until you unpair. FYI, the order of priority is Zumo, phone, bike to bike. Zumo trumps all. If you use the admittedly lame sounding (remember - mono speakers) mp3 option on the Zumo through your Scala or the FM Radio function on the Scala (if your model has FM), then the music is lowest priority.

On the Cardo Scala Q2...shop it around. I paid $257 for the multi set via Amazon, and see where it's down to around $251 including shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Scala-Rider-Q2...7229543&sr=8-1

Hey with your 10% discount using coupon HF10 it comes to 246.60 shipped as shipping is free from my shop and I am a sponsor, don't think you will find a better price out there. Let me know if I can help any of you out.

here's a great piece written on the j&m website about their return policy on bluetooth headsets...I think I want one but this made me think twice (the intention of the article was fulfilled)

If you do a lot of two up there is the Multi set as well, also if your buddy's get them as well you have bike to bike communication with two other Cardos as well as GPS direction if your GPS is Bluetooth capable.

Let me know if you have any questions.
The Multi set looks interesting. My wife is getting her license this weekend, and I thought some bike-to-bike communication would be helpful so I can guide her as she sets her lines through curves, warn her about debris in the road, careless cagers, etc. I'd also like to have the Bluetooth capabilities so I can pair to my phone and my Zumo.

This set actually has to complete Q2 units, paired together so you can also handle bike-to-bike? At 10% off and free shipping that less than the cost for one Nolan N-com headset for my N-102 helmet. Can you confirm if what I wrote in bold is correct?
