• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Using Cardo vs Sena on a Shoei GT Air III

I have a Shoei GT Air III helmet and I am looking to add a Bluetooth system to it. Sena makes systems designed to work with Shoei. With an older Shoei helmet I used a Cardo system, but it was somewhat rigged to work. I liked did like it. Reading reviews, it seems the Cardo is much better rated that Sena. I was looking for any feedback from someone using a Sena system with a Shoei helmet and how it worked.
Or if you used a current Cardo with a GT Air III how it was to get it installed.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
 
I've been using Sena SRL2 with Shoei GT Air II and a regular full face Shoei my wife likes.

They've been pretty good, though not perfect. Sometimes they drop then you have to just press the connect button on the rider's helmet but that's pretty rare. I would expect the SRL3 to be an improvement on at least 5 year of technology.
 
Shoei RF-1200 with Sena 10s another RF-1200 with 10s now 50s and couple of RF-1400's with 50s. All have worked well no matter the helmet or which model. Will say upgraded the one 1200 to 50s as I ride with folks that utilize Cardo so it is able to sync up with them as well. Whereas the 10s could not.
 
I have both systems, Cardo & Sena. Helmet brand aside, The Cardo intercom system is better than the Sena's. Especially in heavy rain or interstate speeds. Sena's VOX control thinks wind noise is speech and opens the mic so everyone can listen to your hissing. Sena 50 IS NOT WATERPROOF and can shut down if rain is heavy. The Cardos don't have those issues. The 1 thing Sena has over Cardo is Mesh connection ease. Cardo needs to set up 'groups' to isolate channels but Sena is wide open to anyone in range (makes for fun discussions in busy biker areas).
Again, not based on built-in Shoei rigs, just the hardware/software differences.
 
Yup .. Over the years I've had multiple Sena units. Recently switched to try a Cardo Freecom 4x. Never going back to Sena.
