- How to make a phone call (among other things!) from the headset. This basically pulls up the voice assist ability of your phone (ie "Siri", "Google Voice", etc.) then you tell your phone what you want it to do.

Thanks Motorcycle Geek, I was experimenting this morning and I think your suggestion will work. I will keep trying, the Bold is Awesome. Thanks for all your videos!
I have a PackTalk Black. I use the half helmet Microphone kit. Even though I get a lot of wind noise, I can hear music great. It's actually outstanding for music. Even while riding between 70 and 80mph, I can lightly speak into the mic and it has no issue recognizing Siri and voice commands. I make phone calls using Hey Siri and the person I call can hear me fine. They can't believe how good that I sound even with the half helmet mic. I can barely hear their voice while traveling at highways speeds, but music is loud before I am talking on the phone. The music stops when I make a call too. When I am going slow, like 30 mph, I can hear their voice loud and clear. Great channel BTW.
Thanks for the comment and the only thing that comes to mind is this: Our phones have different volumes for different things; music, phone calls, bluetooth, etc. It's normal for the music to stop during a phone call, but you should be able to hear the call at the same volume that your music was at. While off the bike, put your helmet on, get your phone connected, and have someone call you with your phone still in your hand. Once you answer the call, THEN make sure your phone volume is all the way up. Very likely that the phone has an independent volume for phone calls that are coming through a bluetooth connection (which is the case here) and it just needs to be turned up. Hope that helps!!
@@MotoGeekFreak Thank You, I'll try it.
MotoGeek thanks for taking the time to help everybody with their packtalk bold. My question is, how to use the other speed dials saved on the cardo app? i believe you have shown how to use the 1st speed dial but not how to use the 2nd, 3rd & 4th speed dial. Thanks in advanced for getting back to all of us. Take care!
Hey there! As far as I know, the "main" speed dial is the only one you can activate remotely (either by using the button on the headset or the "Hey Cardo, Speed Dial" voice command), the other speed dials seems to be just for convenience if your phone is mounted in front of you and you're using the app as a remote control. Hope that helps (and I hope I'm accurate on that)!!
how do i call other numbers on speed dial set in the cardo app? i think there's 5 lists there and i can only call 1 from the top when i say hey cardo speed dial
Thanks for the video. I'm having a issue. When I use Google asst. To make a call it calls from me talking in the helmet mic but the phone call can only be heard on my actual phone. The speakers in the helmet or mic neither one are connected. If I just dial from my phone or recieve a phone call it works fine thru the helmet.
This is the only feature that isn't working for me. All cardo commands and Google commands activate what they should. Just Google phone call only thru phone. I've tried everything I could find on it. Any ideas?
What is speed dial and how do I use it? Is it even worth using?
When someone calls me my phone rings but until I hit the speaker button I cannot hear the phone ringing. How do I get the phone call to come directly to my packtalk bold
I'm proud owner of Packtalk Bold. It is great, but one issue makes it uncomfortable to use. My iPhone is set to use Siri in Russian (all other menus are in English). Cardo is set fully in English (because Cardo's Russian sucks, sorry for that). Problem is: in such combination 'Privet Siri' does not work. Only if I set my Bold's menu to Russian 'Privet Siri' activates Siri in my iPhone. Is there a way to call Siri in Russian, while Bold is set to English?
Thanks
My android connects fine for both audio and calls. The wife has one with the same phone as me (S9 Plus) but hers will only do audio, no calls ??????????????
I don’t want to be pushing buttons while riding a motorcycle. It needs to be hands free
every time i complete my command using siri she continues to listen and never 'enters' the command its very annoying and makes siri useless 300 dollars for this
Crap. Okay if it's me here's what I'd do: delete the pairing to my phone and re-pair the two back together (I don't know why, but sometimes that just works magic). THEN, I'd check the position of my mic to make sure it's not TOOOOO close in that my breathing is keeping the connection to Siri open and thus not 'entering' the command. Has to be something small like that going on, just have to figure out why it's staying open...
I hope one of the two does the trick man!
I have regular Packtalk and have strange behavior with Siri. When you push phone button that call Siri, first bip comes fine, but second “Dudu” comes really painfully LOUD. I asked cardo, they suggested me to lower volume during this “dudu”, but when I do this I can badly hear phone call. Once I raise volume up to hear phone, this Dudu comes loud again. But music level from iPhone via a2dp is good and I don’t need to raise / lower it all the time, it’s just with Siri and phone call. In firmware 3x there were ability to tweak sound level for each source, but not in 4x. Did you faced such behavior on your older unit? Any suggestions how to fix it? Packtalk with latest firmware, did reset (via 3 buttons), iPhone 7 Plus with latest iOS.
Also many thanks for your videos, they help really a lot!
@@Igizeh Thanks! Okay so I'm not sure this will help but it's worth a shot. First off it sounds like you're doing everything right, something just needs to be tweaked. Couple things: both the phone AND the Packtalk have different volume settings for different things. Each "source" has it's own independent volume for the most part. Focusing on the phone (I have iPhone as well)- when it's paired to a Bluetooth headset (of any kind), it has "Bluetooth headset" volume, and a Phone call will have a different volume setting than Music (A2DP). What I would do is make sure all aspects of your phone are turned all the way up when paired to a Bluetooth Headset (in this case Packtalk), this way you have FULL control of volume from the Paktalk, which ALSO is treating each source independently for volume. To do so, connect it to the Packtalk, and start with playing some music. Turn the phone's volume all the way up. Then, make a phone call, and turn the phone's volume all the way up. Then, go through some ringtones and while they are playing, make sure that volume is all the way up as well. From there, focusing now on the Packtalk-side-of-things, you know your "source", in this case your iPhone, is completely maxed out. The roller wheel on Packtalk will adjust the volume of whatever is going on at that moment. So I would try it out from there, see if things have equalized a bit, and make any adjustments from the roller-wheel if need be... I hope that makes sense and helps out a bit!
Question about making a phone call.... I have a regular flip phone. How can I direct Cardo to call a number on my call list. It works fine for the speed call number but I want to call others as well. Thanks I have the new Bold.
If you click the “Mobile” button on Packtalk (the lower button with phone icon) that should pull up your phone’s “voice dial” ability, assuming it has that. The Hey, Siri and Ok Google Voice Commands of Packtalk Bold will likely not work due to it not being iPhone/Android...but the physical button click should do the trick!!
@@MotoGeekFreak And what exactly do you say into the mic?
When I say, Hey Cardo, Speed Dial...it does nothing. I have the Cardo App running on phone, my wife is listed under first listing, but I don't know what to say.
I just bought a Packtalk slim with JBL unit. "Hey Cardo" works perfectly. But "Hey / Ok Google" does not work at all. Any idea why that is?
@Cameron Habibi have you tried doing "Ok, Google" (assuming you have an Android phone) with the helmet on and the phone in your hand and wait to see what it does? it SHOULD wake the phone up. BUT, the phone might ask you what to do from there...(basically, when google is activated by a bluetooth headset for the first time the phone may require some additional setup). Give that a shot if not already and hopefully that will do the trick!
@@MotoGeekFreak Mu Freecom2+ says he needs autorizations to unluck my phone...i didnt find out... it works if the phone is unlocked but not if its locked.
I was wondering if it was possible to dial from google voice or hangouts using either Siri or Google Assistant. My goal is for the caller id to come up with my Google voice number. Any suggestions? It doesn't appear to be teachable to Siri or Google Assistant. Nice job on the vid. Thanks.
@49Macman Oh dang that's a tough one. I don't know! I'll have to play with that but it's definitely going to be something on the phone-side of things. Post up if you figure it out!! Sorry for the lack of info on that and thanks for the comment.
@@MotoGeekFreak Thank you for your quick reply. In the last few hours I did some searching and I believe apple won't let Siri control a third party app. Google assistant doesn't have that capability to control their own app. at this point unfortunately. Who knows if they will in the future? I think it would be a welcomed feature. Especially for driving. However, Siri and G assistant does open GV. You just need to find the contact that you want and click to call it. I was using hangouts until my plan became unlimited phone minutes. Now I just want to use my GV/hangouts number as the caller id instead of my Iphone number. Thanks again!
Hi, my Packtalk doesn't pull up Siri when using the 'phone' button on the PT. It's paired to my iPhone but for some reason this doesn't work. It also doesn't pair to my phone automatically anymore. Any thoughts on what's going on?
@Omariovic Hope you got this sorted already but my first thought would be to erase everything a re-pair your phone to your Packtalk. Sounds like something just got off somewhere. A push of the "phone" button should absolutely be pulling up Siri. Give it a shot a hope that helps!
@@MotoGeekFreak I managed to fix this a while ago by doing exactly what you described! Thanks for getting back to me.
Omariovic Nice!! Cool to hear
Dose this work with Bixby?
Yes it should for sure - you'll still have to say "Ok Google" on the Cardo but just set your phone up to launch Bixby instead of Google👍
Why "Hey Siri" is only available on PackTalk Bold? I have a "normal" PackTalk and it would be great if I could use this functionality.
Henrique Pohl Man I totally agree. I’ve got the original Packtalk also, but the “Hey Siri” thing ONLY works on my/the new Bold and Slim. Those are the ONLY headsets with that ability, so it’s gotta be more than software I think. Must be hardware as well to make that happen? But hey, even the original Packtalk is WAAY better than anything else!! Lol
Thank you for your prompt response! I totally agree, I simply LOVE my Packtalk!
This isn't working for me anylonger. I've got an android and when i want to make a call i say "ok google, call *****" Google only responds the following: "Ok, but you'll have to unlock your phone first". That kind of sucks, cause it's tough to unlock it at high speed when it's in my pocket.... It did work before i updated it a couple of months ago. any suggestions?
Man that's a tough one as I'm an iOS user and don't know the intimate details of Android...but..it HAS to be a setting in the phone, no? Some sort of permission to allow voice assistant while the phone is locked? Anyone else have any tips on this?
I'm having the same issue with my packtalk slim. Ever figure it out?
I was riding to day and every time I said Hey Siri it would answer back Hey Siri, but it didn't matter what else I tried it did nothing...with 1 exception. Once I stopped at a stop sign, with no other vehicles around and said "Hey Siri Play Panorama" and it worked. I tried it later in the same situation trying to call someone and nothing happened.
Hmmm. First off, I think Siri is working while stopped because your phone is hearing your ACTUAL voice (instead of through the headset) and it's activating Siri. BUT, it should be working through the headset for sure so here's my thoughts:
-When the Cardo says "Hey, Siri" back to you, that's a good sign that the Natural Voice system is at least hearing your command...so that's good.
- Are you waiting for the Siri "tone" before asking it to do something? You will want to do this. After the Cardo says "Hey, Siri" back to you.....wait unitl you hear the familiar "doong doong" noise that siri makes, and only then begin to speak to it.
-Pullup siri using the Cardo headset and while siri is "listening" make sure the volume is up on the phone and the Cardo. Both devices have specific volumes for each other, and if they're too low, you'll never hear the "doong doon" in order to know when to begin speaking.
-Try doing it with the helmet on and the phone in your hand (but don't speak tooo loud, you don't want to the phone itself to be triggered by your actual voice reaching it). Say "Hey, Siri" to the Cardo, it will repeat it, and you SHOULD see siri pullup on your phone's screen. Ask it something, and see if she does it. If so, it's just a matter of getting your volume levels right and waiting for that "siri tone" before you beginning asking it something.
I hope that makes sense and helps out!!
@@MotoGeekFreak It all made sense, but I tried and all I hear is Hey Siri and nothing else. Then, when I wait 30 seconds or so and say Hey Siri again, I hear nothing.
I forgot to mention, I did not see it show up on my phone, but my watch did pick it up once (so I took the watch off).
@@corkyakins9075 When your Cardo is paired to the phone, what happens if you tap the "Mobile" button (assuming you have Packtalk) on the Cardo. That's the manual way to activate Siri. Does that pull it up? Just trying to figure out what's going wrong here...gotta be something simply (at least lets hope, right!?)
@@MotoGeekFreak I will check on that, but I went on another ride on this beautiful day and did the "Hey Siri" and I hear it through the speakers but no sounds after that.
ya, na. I get the ok google but thats it
Try this hey siri function at Hwy Speed @70miles. Please perform live test and also answer function to receive incoming call at 70mph. If u can i ll believe i must be doing something weong. I tried atleast 100 times n only 2-3 times works. Every one performed this in house or in garage but no one i mean no one performed in live action on motorcycle at hwy speed. Please do if u can. Thank you
Does your work for you in the house? Just curious because if so then that means there's not a problem with the system...which is a good thing. At speed, and I came across this EXACT same thing, it could very well be due to talking too loud. Before I go there, make sure you have that mic directly in front of your mouth-- and if you're using the boom mic, make absolute sure that the little yellow arrow is facing your mouth. That's crucial. Okay, back to speed. What I mean is at 70, i found myself yelling "HEY CARDO, MUSIC ON!"...nothing. "HEY CARDO, VOLUME UP!"...nothing. I was yelling because it's loud as h*ll in my helmet at 70 and it was just natural. As soon as I started just talking in a "normal volume" voice...bam. Success rate shot up to like 95%. Sorry for the novel, but try saying the commands a normal volume, even though you can barely hear yourself, and that SHOULD do the trick. Good luck and hope that helps.
Well I’ve tried that, infact I use that as my regular way to call people while I’m riding and yes it works good. I have a miss couple of times but it works.
Saurabh. Is there any specific way to turn on the device. Like in specific order. I have connected my comm system to phone and to honda n everything is there I can listen to music and all but sometimes it won’t even connect and i have to reset all in order to get it connected. It has worked for me in past but sometimes it wont work for no reason.
@@vilkeshpatel7 so you have multiple devices connected to the Cardo? Maybe that’s where the issue is. Cuz it’s only the phone which is connected with Cardo in my case. And at times another intercom.
Same here but to make siri works while using carplay is the issue.
Hey motogeek,
I have a pack talk bold and i use a android note 9 phone.
The google assistant i think only works when the phone microphone can hear me speak.
The cardo voice never replies back saying ok google so i assume it is not going to work.
Have you found a away around this or know of anyone who has android experience?
Cool videos they have helped a lot.
@A H Yeah if you're not hearing the Pactkalk say "OK Google" back to you then your phone mic is prob picking it up instead of the Packtalk activating it. I have limited knowledge on Android, but I did come across this bit of info that might help??
Ok Google options -> Settings -> Voice -> Handsfree -> Allow for Bluetooth devices (along these lines) This may very well be the case for you! Give it a shot and let me know if that helps!
@@MotoGeekFreak I will give it a shot.
@@MotoGeekFreak Hey still having some minor problems even when i press the phone button to bring up ok google it's trying to listen to the phone have played with all the app permissions and still having problems. some people report how it works no problem. if there is anyone who has had this problem on an android phone let us know what the solution was.
@@MotoGeekFreak Tested this on 2 different Android phones and still doesn't work. When you are testing you're how do you know that phone microphone is not picking up Hey Siri instead of Cardo?
@@ZiggyW999 You should hear the Packtalk Bold (make sure it's a Bold, the original was not capable of this) repeat to you "Ok, Google" for Android when it accepted the command. If you're not hearing that, then the Packtalk isn't capturing it. If you DO hear it (which is the case when I test it and how I know the command is going through the Packtalk Bold and not my phone's mic) then the issue is somewhere on the phone's side. I would try it with the helmet on and the phone in your hand: say "Ok, Google" and make sure the Packtalk repeats that back to you. From there, look at your phone. Is it asking you for any permissions or direction before going forward? If so, select one, and choose "Always". From there on out it SHOULD work perfectly. Hope that helps and best of luck!
"very unique" sigh.
