Help! Schuberth Rider Communication System and GPS compatibility

[Lonewolf]

Well I was reconsidering getting one of these systems for my C3 but you have just convinced me that it wouldn't be a great idea.


It was recently suggested to me that the BMW System 6 helmet with the BMW Bluetooth setup would be a good purchase, I've yet to try it but so far what I've read about it, it does seem to be in the running, downside is the price, helmet and comms will cost you £720.

SRC --> TomTom Urban og latest =  Working like a champ!

In general... you should connect your SRC to SatNav - and your Mobile to SatNav as well.... allthough you can connect your SRC directly to phone - but let the SatNavn (TomTom) handle that part! Even though you don't want to talk mobile you can see who is calling and prep. for a chat whenever you pause!

I'm thinking of buying a c3 helmet but not the comms system. What do you think of the helmet, is it as quiet as reported?

[O.C.]

I replaced a Shoei Multitech with a C3 about two years months ago.

TBH I'm not very keen on the C3 although it is light and does seem to be well designed

Its flip front facility is a useful facility, but as I don't tour much anymore I now prefer to use my Arai Tour X4

I would suggest that you look at/try the Shoei Neotec, which is a flip front helmet with good features before making your purchase, not all helmets will correctly fit every head and should always be tried for size and correct fit

I previously had a Nolan N102 or 103, cant remember which. I went from that to the C3, significantly more money but the quality and simplicity of the C3 appeals to me. The visor removal is a doddle, the weight is good, the visibility, i.e. side field of view is good & it doesn't impede my wearing of glasses.
I'd buy another if required in a flash.

Thanks for the info chaps

Well, my C3 with SRC system works really well with the Zumo 550 and I can hear the instructions loud and clear even at higher speeds.
But I have to add that before I installed a Laminar Lip the wind noise was quite bad even with the screen full up.

Just a quick brush-up on this topic...

I have 2 x Schuberth C3 Pro helmets with SRC (firmware v4.20) and often touring with my friend with his C3/SRC with firmware v3.00
My helmet is linked with GPS - my phone is linked to GPS and talking (routed) to helmet that way. My co-driver is linked on channel B - my friend on channel A. Even my RDS/Radio is active....

Now...it's working.. but periodic the headset link from TomTom Rider 2013 (v5) is falling out... "no speaker" icon is displayed on the TomTom. If that happens I need to "reset factory settings" on my TomTom since TomTom has a really BUG of handling their bluetooth connections. It's a pain in the a..... when you're on touring! You loose PI's, routes etc. Anyway...it's periodic for time being, and I have wrote info to TomTom and Schuberth support. No response for time being.....but it will come!

Sound quality is really good....3 x intercom on the same time... fantastic...  radio, gps and mobile.... really good!

More to come....
