FEATURED VIDEO

If you've ever wondered about alternatives to Schuberth's proprietary comm systems, wonder no longer! Mark Barnes decided to put a Cardo PackTalk Black into his Schuberth C4 Pro and thoughtfully took photos of each step along the way ... photos which we've turned into this handy-dandy instructional video. Enjoy Mark's soothing, comforting voice in a walkthrough that's easy to pause and use as a play-by-play accompaniment to your own install. Please note: This procedure is not sanctioned by Schuberth and may affect the warranty status of your Schuberth helmet. We can offer no tech support if something goes wrong, and Schuberth probably won't either. Undertake this operation at your own risk! Schuberth C4 Pro Carbon helmet: https://na.schuberth.shop/c4-pro-carbon-fusion/ The Cardo Systems PackTalk Black comm unit Mark refers to in this video has been discontinued. Other units in the PackTalk line are available. Cardo Systems PackTalk 2nd Helmet Kit w/Sound by JBL: https://cardosystems.com/products/packtalk-2nd-helmet-kit-with-sound-by-jbl In addition to being a regular columnist for the BMW Owners News, Mark is also the host of a podcast called "The Ride Inside," available on all major podcast platforms as well as online at https://www.bmwownersnews.com/category/moa-podcasts/.
