Have you installed a Cardo system in the Advex Helmet?

[Candubrain]

My O2 helmet is 6 yrs old and I'm going to replace it. I've been very happy with the O2, but like the idea of the Advex being modular so I can eat, drink and smoke without taking it off.

Presently have the Cardo Packtalk Bold which works flawlessly and I would prefer to install it into the Advex rather than purchasing the Vibe system which will not communicate with my buddy who uses the CPB as well.

Have you installed a Cardo system in your Advex?

I find the Cardo mics are very directional, and they need to be directly in front of your lips to be heard loudly and clearly. If I were to mount the wired Cardo mic where the Vibe mic mounts (offset to the front side of the helmet) I'm concerned it won't be effective 

Thoughts? experience?
thanks

I thought there was mention of communicators used in the helmets, maybe another video of theirs or not the Cardo system.....but I thought I recalled some issues with the Advex helmet and communicators (some????) - I listened to the videos last year, so memory could be failing....

LOL.....they just mentioned in the video how the Vibe system will not talk to the older Cardo Packtalk.   They never did an install of the Cardo, which is what I'm after.

thanks
