scala rider G9x REAL TEST / voice commands / demo

[@mturcotte]

Yes nice demo. That said, I have been using the G9 for over a year and I found that none of the voice command sensitivity levels (low, med, high) are actually usable in real riding situations especially if you happen to caught from time to time (no, I am not a smoker;). At low sensitivity, you have to be fairly loud for it to detect a command coming in. And when you have to cough, then everything goes south quickly. After many unwanted coughs being interpreted as command initiation (or just plain wrong commands), I found that keeping the voice control OFF was best and then manually pressing the voice command button on the side (middle) when you really want to give a command. Other than that, the unit really does provide all of the nice features demoed by Frederick Small. My 2 cnts.

[@fredericksmall8129]

Perhaps they did change it from the G9 a little? I have had really good success using it in "real world" conditions (VOX sensitivity set to Medium) - and have put this thing through the ringer as a daily commuter. I wonder how it would handle someone with an accent though?! Haha, don't know what to say, but I like your fix for it - always nice that that's an option...

[@decapolis01]

Frederick Small I just got the 9x model and it took me a while to figure out how to speak to Vox so it can understand my heavy southern accent. After watching this video I discovered saying Cardo, or just any word to activate it before the command, helps it understand me almost every time I use it.

[@decapolis01]

You have to say something and make the device activate, then the next word you say is the command. So I say Cardo!, it beeps, then I say Radio ON. I still have a problem turning off the mp3 player on my phone. I can say Cardo, music off. It will beep like its turning it off but the music comes back on.

[@decapolis01]

Also with my loud pipes running over 65 mph I cannot use the voice command at all. I just use the buttons on the device.

[@fredericksmall8129]

Kim Neumann - I can't figure out how to respond to your comment on a tablet - my apologies. If you see this, I checked my manual and the specific voice commands to use are listed on page 6 (section 4.4). You have to "chirp" the mic before saying a command, and I typically say "Hey" to get the beep, then tell it what to do.... I hope that helps!

[@kimne8755]

I have just recently bought my G9x and have been using everything manually as I am having a hard time figuring out what exactly I am suppose to be saying. I have looked through the manual and have not seen anything in there. Did you find your information on how to use voice commands from the manual (what page?) or by playing around with it. If you found it via playing with it are you saying "mute - next station" or "move - next station?" Thanks for your time.

Nice demo, thanks.

[@margaritaday2777]

If MP3 is connected via cable I can't seem to stop music to communicate to other rider.

[@fibranijevidra]

It is all beautiful, but extremely slow! When I ride I don`t call my pillion to chitchat, I need instant PTT kind of communication as seen on walkie talkie. Is there wireless intercom that connects instantly to pillion?

[@vmlinuxz]

I wish someone would do a video test of them actually using this thing rather than sitting in a quiet room.

[@Ellis01234567890]

Can a scala rider be used to connect to ordinary walkie talkies?

[@KyleSchwanz]

I can’t get mine to work for some reason... everything works great except VOX

[@moevh2689]

Can earbuds be plugged into this unit instead of using the speakers in the helmet? With ear plugs in, I can't use my current system because I can't hear with the plugs in.

[@RoryPlays]

You can use the stock speakers and stick them inside the helmet or you can use any earphone that uses a 3.5MM jack. The unit has a jack output for the speakers so most headphones will fit.

[@1Sniper6661]

Mate was that spotify? Does it work with spotify?

[@renegade1987]

by saying "call intercom" and only connecting to one device means that it will terminate the conversation after 30 seconds of silence.

[@SingleTrack257]

Hey man I can't get my voice commands to work I have the q1 just got it today any help I will take

[@fredericksmall8129]

HexxusR6 Raven Q1 has VOX activation to start intercom by voice, but doesn't have "voice commands" as a feature. Hope that helps and good luck!!

[@SingleTrack257]

It does help thanks man

[@briankeith757]

is this Bluetooth enabled?

[@andythurlow1614]

A very belated Thanks mate. This is much better than the shit user manual. x

[@edgar5001]

What are you saying to activate voice command?

[@fredericksmall8129]

I normally say "hey!" or "Yo!" or something along those lines, but you can really just say anything or make any loud noise you'd like. I think I even say "nope!" a couple of times on this video. You just need to be loud enough to get that beep, THEN, you say the specific voice command for what you want it to do... Hope that makes sense and helps!!

[@edgar5001]

It does! thanks. I was debating between this one and the SENA 20s, but it seems like this one has better voice control. The SENA you have to say "hello sena" (or something along those lines) then wait for a prompt, say your command, wait for a confirmation, then its executed, seems to be a drag.

[@fredericksmall8129]

edgar5001 I have two riding buddies that picked up the 20S and both have returned them. Apparently there are issues far beyond just the "voice command" ability that it advertises.... Include the scala rider PackTalk into your research; I just came across it and it looks to be very interesting.

[@desmc690]

can you connect g9x to q2 ?

[@fredericksmall8129]

Not totally sure? I would just contact them and ask if it can be done?

[@desmc690]

i've tried everything, so i dont think it will work :/

[@Oneindig318]

Yamahayzfr125Norge www.cardosystems.com/compatibility www.cardosystems.com/G9xcompatibility i have connected to Q2 to a G9, although on channel A the Q2 couldnt call the G9, but on channel B i could. would the G9x be so diffirent to the G9 that it cant connect to a Q2, although in the list it does state Q2pro.

[@bigbenny777]

brill vid mr dark stig lol am looking to get a set of these ,, and I think you made my mind up on getting them ,, been tryin to see wot is the best out there ,, wen your in a pack can you all talk the same time ?

[@el_de_la09_zx6r2]

Can u connect to pandora

[@fredericksmall8129]

Absolutely. I either use Siri and say "open Pandora", or open the music app I want to use (Pandora, Spotify, iTunes, etc.) before the ride so it knows where to pickup from...

[@alpinab14]

erm wow
