I recently purchased the newest Cardo G9 Powerset. I paired up one of the G9 units to my GTL BT. The pairing was quick, the problem is the audio. Spoken word (AM, Sirius talk radio), is ok, as is the GPS voice. But the 2-channel audio is horrible. FM or Satellite are pretty bad, but the iPod is way worse. It crackles and distorts no matter what the tone or volume settings are. It sounds as if the BT transceiver and receiver are 2 blocks apart. But they're only 2-3 feet.
My use for the system is about 80% for music. I doubt the problem is the speakers, they seem adequate. I haven't set up the second unit in my wife's helmet. But if the music is this bad, I won't bother with the second installation.
It looks like I may return this unit and dig deeper in my pockets and buy the BMW BT set up. It looks like BMW played this one perfectly; purchase OUR system at a high price, or suffer the consequences of purchasing another brand...
