FAQ

Can I use this product in the rain?
Sure. The AGV INSYDE is waterproof. This means you can ride in the rain and enjoy top communication.
Can it be charged while riding?
Yes. Cardo communication systems can be charged while riding. Simply plug it into the bike's 12V charger or a battery pack. Switch it back on and keep on riding.
Do I have to have a phone for it to work?
Your intercom and radio features are completely phone-independent. You wouldn’t need any phone to operate them. You would need a phone (or some other Bluetooth media player) to stream music and make and receive calls.
How can I improve my sound quality?
Sound quality is best when the speakers are placed directly opposite your ear canal. Verify that the speakers are correctly placed inside your helmet by following the next steps.
  1. With the helmet on, slide your finger inside the helmet and press against the side of the helmet where your ear is. This is where the speakers should be positioned.
  2. Remove the helmet, but keep your finger in that spot. Check to make sure the speakers are in this position.
  3. Make sure the speakers are positioned as close to your ear as possible so you can feel them. Use the included Velcro booster pads behind the speakers to get them closer to your ear if necessary.
  4. Since every head is different, you may find that your helmet ear cavities are not placed optimally. If this is the case, consider placing the speakers outside your helmet ear cavities opposite your ears.

Something stopped working on my AGV INSYDE. What should I do?
Before trying anything else, we recommend simply resetting the unit to factory settings. Step 1: Press the intercom phone and media buttons together for at least 5 seconds until the LED flashes purple and the unit turns off. Step 2: Turn the unit back on.
The unit doesn't seem to be charging, or the Battery seems not to last as long as it should.
Plug your unit into the charger and leave it charging for at least 4 hours straight. Use a different wall charger and USB cable if this does not work. If the unit still doesn’t charge, please contact support. DO NOT attempt to disassemble or replace the battery on your own. DO NOT open the unit. It will no longer be waterproof! If your unit is out of warranty, you can find replacement batteries on 3rd party’s websites and in specialty electronics retailers. That said, we DO NOT recommend replacing parts on your own for the risk of water, dirt, and general electronic damage.
