Video-In this free video I show you everything you need to know to successfully set up and operate the Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System. The SRC system was designed by Cardo Communications to be specifically used with the Schuberth C3 helmet by replacing the OEM neck roll pad. The Schuberth SRC is a super slick and clean head set and communications system and you don't have to have a bulky box hanging off the side of your motorcycle helmet.
That's right, you can listen to your music inside your helmet via bluetooth from your smart phone or mp3 player. You can pause/play your music list and even skip songs forward and back with the buttons right on the SRC! The SRC has a built-in FM radio with six programmable presets. You can talk to two other riders with specific Cardo headset systems, making it three-way communications within 1000 feet. Once paired via bluetooth with your smart phone you can make and receive phone calls right inside your helmet via voice commands.
The SRC speakers are plenty loud even while going down the freeway and I never turn the system volume all the way up. I have tested phone calls and the person on the other end can't even tell I am riding my Harley Davidson while talking with them.
Of course I show you how to do all of the above and more with the Schuberth SRC System in this tutorial video, so check it out. You will still want your smartphone attached in front of you on your handlebars with a Biker Gripper Motorcycle Cell Phone Mount to make some things easier and I discuss this in the video.
The only negative with the SRC System is that you can only update the firmware in the unit with a PC and there is no MAC support at this time. That is a failure in my opinion. Only with a PC can you connect your SRC System with the provided USB cable and update the firmware.

Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System
Summary
I really like the system and the speakers are plenty loud while riding my Harley down the freeway & listening to music or taking a phone call via bluetooth. It is super easy to install, replacing the OEM neck roll in the C3 helmet. The battery in the SRC is rechargeable and lasts even on long day rides. I like that I can pair the SRC with other Cardo systems and talk with up to two other riders.
I don't like the fact that you can only update the firmware in the SRC with a PC and that there is no MAC support.
Steve says
why would you not have the system compatible with Mac computers?
Ryan Urlacher says
Sorry Steve, a bit confused on the question. Which part do you need to be compatible with Mac?
CARLOS says
Olá Ryan. Você pode me ajudar a parear dois comunicadores SRC?
