Interphone have released a new version of the same sort of thing, the Interphone F4 if you’re interested here's a review http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-intercoms/interphone-f4/

But what every you get, do let us know what you thing, I’d be interested

glad your chuffed but is it any better than the rider 2 apart fom the crap music????

 

[ktmmark]

Never had any problems with the q2, But yes the radio which was not brill on the q2 is very good can also cope with more than one bluetooth at the same time.
This is handy as my garmin 660 won't suppor voice dial on my e71 nokia but the cardo will
My q2 was £115 and the g4 £200 need more time to see if it's worth the extra

The old teamset is a good piece of kit. The only problem i have is the Bluetooth dropping and sometimes when starting out Bluetooth refuses to connect then half an hour later it kicks in.
Is there any improvments in the connectivity?

Yes locks on quick and not dropped out yet,had music playing from my phone which was in my pocket good sound and in stereo no lost connection

Is the audio over Bluetooth in stereo? Is the volume the same or is it louder than the Q2? I'm happy with my Q2's apart from having to use a cable to get stereo, and I always seem to have it on full volume and would like just a little bit more. Oh, and the FM drifting everywhere - it has RDS?

Yes bluetooth in stereo and very loud with better base,i cant have it on full volume
RDS radio is a lot better,and has an arial if needed, a pop up one

Hmmm.. Could be interested then. I bought 2 x Q2's from the US a couple of years ago and even with the duty it was a lot cheaper than in the UK. Maybe I will have a trawl via ebay.

Just found that out! It's not even mentioned on the Cardo websites either. Where you get yours from then?

Hi Mark, is the your new G4 louder than your original Scala, do you wear ear plugs?

It does look a very smart unit!

Cheers

 

[ktmmark]

It is very loud if you have it on full,There is more than enough volume
A friend got mine from the importer's as i say only released last week
it's a £200 price tag though

 

[ebbo]

Sorry to keep asking question Mark but can you charge it while wearing/using it on the bike?

 

[ktmmark]

uses a mini usb connection, so a phone charger or computer will also charge it
and if the lead is long enough from the phone charger you could charge while riding

 

[gs madster]

you can get it on ebay usa the prices our cheaper

 

[Rugged Path]

Correct but, the communication frequency range is not allowed in europe.

I don't suppose you are selling your Q2 are you Mark?

I have a Scala Q2 which I will be selling, it has been converted by replacing the speakers with a 3.5 socket, but I have bought the Scala G4, so When I convert that I can have the speakers connected to a 3.5 Plug.It doesn't come with a mains charger, but a 12v. one.Looking for about £55 posted to the UK. All in the original Box with Manual.
