@Chris Caliente has this been resolved buddy as this is putting me off getting the packtalk edge. I currently don't have a Bluetooth intercom so do you think the edge is worth the extra money over the bold?
I've been riding with two other buddies. We all had the BOLDs and they were connected. I recently upgraded to the EDGE. After making sure that all units were on the latest firmware, the pairing was easy-peasy through the app. Apparently the reason why you were not able to achieve this could have been because of the older firmware at the time of taping this video. Just thought I'd post in case someone wanted to bring in the BOLDs in his/her EDGE instead of doing it the other way around. Thanks for the video.
To turn on, press and hold the forward media only. You do not need to press two buttons for the start-up. Only for the shutdown. To turn the unit off, press the two buttons simultaneously.
Cardo needs to fix this……. $400 and it’s a PITA to join others groups. People don’t have time to sit there all day doing this….. I’m not buying it until they fix it!
This is happening to me with two Packtalk BOLD Duo units. Both do not appear in the list. Sometimes it wont find them. When I finally pair them, the second unit takes over the music.
When you do music share, both of your unit is sharing under DMC? I have both Edge but can not share unless one is in Bluetooth intercom. And I am also having a hard time with that, your video has given me 2-time luck for music share. But I keep on redoing process and my 3rd time, I am not getting lucky.
Hi! If the Edge is group leader can it share music to a Freecom 4+ or any other intercom ? I think I read it can’t be done which means I can’t upgrade to a edge. Can you or anyone confirm thanks!
Can you add more Bold Or Edge later in a group which you made earlier? Like you made a group of 3 riders on 1st January, and later you wish to add 3 more riders in the same group on 3rd January?
By group, do you mean the actual group inside the app? Because I’ve been using my slim for two years and I’ve never had the app, but I’ve paired with other slim and other bold. But can’t seem to connect some friends with the new edge.
Unbelievable. Edge can’t join a group. It only can create a group so if you’re trying to join a big group everyone has to join the Edge group which will take half the day.
@@tnt570 Yes and edge will be host and bold will connect to the party. In general if you press intercom button (the one on top) for five seconds it will automatically connect to existing party😁
Hey Chris, when we create group we need Edeg as a admin but when we ride next time .suppose the rider with Edeg not came so remening bolds group which created as Edeg admin will work or we have to create a new group ?
Yes, it’s supposed to be fixed now, but I just tried pairing an edge into an existing group where my bold is admin & it created a new group with just us two in it & the edge is now admin! I can not make an edge join our existing group! My Bold & the Edge are fully updated
I have an Edge and my friend has a bold. The video is titled Pack talk Bold. But the narrator keeps saying pack talk black. I never used a PT black or PT bold. The information is helpful!
Just randomly hit all the buttons and at some point 10-15 or 30 minutes into pushing buttons you MAY be able to talk to someone else. The amount of fuckery involved with ALL intercoms is unbelievable. You need a pre-ride coffe/tea/beer session that could take from 30 minutes to 5 hours to get everyone paired, then, you shut everything off and in te morning you have 20% chances that you will be able to talk to anyone in the group. Rant off. 😂
You are correct that if you randomly hit buttons the chances of it working are remote. So don’t do that. Just follow the very simple instructions and it will work. It takes seconds only if you do it correctly.
I don’t think this is a MASSIVE bug, i think what this is, is the Edge is backwards compatible, but the Bold is not forward compatible, which is obvious. The unit that is taking control has to change to the protocol of the other units. The Edge can down change, but the Bold can’t up change, that’s my take on it anyway.
@@michaelwilliams3861 was talking about the bug with having to shut down and restart the unit after adding a device. This is a legit bug, it’s not reasonable to assume I can restart the com after every added group member
@@michaelwilliams3861 it “fails” immediately and even sometimes after restart if you add or fail to add an older Cardo. You have to restart the edge a few times and it goes away. Makes pairing take 10-30 minutes depending on how many friends you’re riding with. I ride with a big group of all older packtalks and the Edge has been a pain since I got it.
@@michaelwilliams3861 As this is not listed in the owner manual as a limitation, from my perspective this is a bug. They stipulates the Edge CAN join any DMC Groups, which the Bold do. The difference with DMC 2.0 is the range, not the protocol. More than that, there is no JOIN button in the Cardo App as we see in the Bold or ScalaRider Packtalk.
This is over-complicated, Chris. I like you lots but you spend way too much time talking. Get rid of the phones on Cardo Connect and simply show the two units, Bold and Edge. Simply momentarily push the top button on the Edge and then the top button on the Bold and they will automatically pair. Push the top button on the Edge a final time to take it out of pairing and go on down the road.
That is a annoying Chris , what do you think ?
The Edge and the Bold units control button functions are almost the same.
There is no way that is not a mistake on their part. All Cardo branded products should be fully compatible with each other.
I totally agree Chris
@@brianp5244 sometimes when new products hit the market it takes a little while to work out the bugs.

Just wanted to say Thank You for a really informative and easy to follow video. Need to do this on a ride out today.
Mannnn Thank you so much for this video!!!! We could not sync up yesterday for our ride!!

Great video, just got the edge and this helps a lot!
Thank you for the video. Just got my P Edge.

Does this work with senas and any other devices too?
hey chris, if you know, can i connect to my friends cardo freedom x with and edge? how is the leader? and how many can i add? cheers
Great information, now i have answers.

Did you use mesh or bluetooth
Hi! If the Edge is group leader can it share music to a Freecom 4+ or any other intercom ?
I think I read it can’t be done which means I can’t upgrade to a edge.
Can you or anyone confirm thanks!
Can you add more Bold Or Edge later in a group which you made earlier? Like you made a group of 3 riders on 1st January, and later you wish to add 3 more riders in the same group on 3rd January?
Hi! Will you be creating a video with the new firmware update? Thanks in advance mate
I cannot get them to work with dmc music sharing
I have a Bold & have paired in several Edge units to my group. Make sure to update the Edge firmware & it will work. Cardo fixed the firmware.

You just ned to push the front botten to start the unit...
(9 o clock)
Or just press intercom button for 5 seconds in both and they’ll automatically par, same with bluetooth.
Press them both at the same time?

Should work, admin is not needed for reconnect
The update release 2.7 was supposed to allow edge to connect to an admin packtalk bold wasn't it?
Yes, it’s supposed to be fixed now, but I just tried pairing an edge into an existing group where my bold is admin & it created a new group with just us two in it & the edge is now admin!
I can not make an edge join our existing group! My Bold & the Edge are fully updated
Edges can connect to eachother no problem tho correct?
Yes
Video not playing no stream
I have an Edge and my friend has a bold. The video is titled Pack talk Bold. But the narrator keeps saying pack talk black. I never used a PT black or PT bold. The information is helpful!
Black and bold are the same unit - black version have better headphones (45mm JBL vs 40mm on "non black" bold)
It works together ? Pairing Bold and Edge ?
@@snappi384 yes they do. But the edge has to initiate the process. Then everyone joins. Works great
Chris which one do you prefer
It’s too early to say for sure.
We use them for snowmobiling, the range is a joke. Other than that they work good. Don't buy from Amazon, they sell refurbished as new. FYI

This is a MASSIVE bug on the cardo side, and I’ve reported it and how frustrating it is cardo just said it works fine 🤬
