Will not connect

I cannot get the stupid thing to connect to my cardo unit. I have done factory resets. Reconnected the Bluetooth as well as connecting it to my laptop to make sure I had the up to date firmware. Then redownloaded it just to make sure. Nothing works. Tried to get in touch with cardo (which is a near impossibility) and got nothing. Pretty much worthless and the company is useless.

Awful Start

We paid A LOt of money for two of these so my wife and I could be connected and to some friends. The update will NOT let us download and we've walked through everything the company said to do. No we have to wait to email back n forth. You would think for the amount of money we spent it wouldn't be like this! Heck fire the cheaper ones connected great and updated great but I just can't talk to her or other family while riding: Extremely FRUSTRATED

DON’T UPDATE TO 5.4

6 of us are on a group ride. We spent an hour messing trying to get them paired. There are some many bugs in the new software. We cannot get them to all pair. It used to work so simply but now it’s a mess. The cardo forced us to update to 5.4 saying you can’t use it unless you update. Thing is if you update it doesn’t work either
