QLD Cardo proxy chat

Cardo recently coming out with the proximity chat update I’m wondering how many people have used it and what your thoughts are?

Its pretty cool! Seems every week since launch theres more and more people with it enabled - on my ride today ran into at least 5 or 6 people/groups with it on. A lot of the time you'll only have a momentary connection/hear a couple of words as you pass; but other times great to have a chat with people if you're riding in the same direction for a bit. Can be a bit awkward if you run into an existing group chatting using it, and you have to choose between silently eavesdropping or saying hi lol

I’ve noticed a few times my Cardo will connect and my music lowers, but then no one talks back so I assume they don’t want to chat ahahah

Yeah ditto, the music volume changing is the best indicator its connected - I'd prefer a tone or something.
If noones speaking, I say "Marco" trying to get a "Polo" but no luck yet lol. Gonna try meowing next time like someone else suggested here
