• 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.

Cardo SHO-1

To all Spyder Lovers that have wondered.
It looks like a lot of people have wanted the question, "Does the CARDO SHO-1 work in the USA.", answered. No body seemed to want to take the chance because it was so crazy expensive. I decided to take that plunge for all interested. And the answer is...yes it does seem to work just fine. I haven't tested all its functions yet but the phone, voice activation, and radio all seem to work flawlessly. The full HD speakers are great for phone and music and tuck away in the speaker cutouts just fine. If anybody has any question feel free to ask away.
 
The SHO-1 is a very nice system. I had heard from other sources as well that it was good to go in the US. I considered it because it's pretty streamline on the helmet. However, decided against it because it would limit me to only Shoei helmets. So I couldn't move it to something different if I swapped lids. Also, pretty much everyone I ride with is running Sena, and last I heard they didn't play nice together.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up paying for yours?
 
A common misconception I think. The system, according to Cardo, is transferable to a number of different manufacturers helmets. As far as the play nice with Sena goes I could not say. I don't have any other riders in my area so I have yet to worry about talking with another person so far. The speakers are great, it has a built in FM radio, and links up to my Garmin 590LM just fine. Taking the bike into the shop tomorrow so that will be my first chance to test it under windy, bumpy road conditions. I'll report back on that later.
