Sena SMH10 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset & Intercom

Product Information

For the users in the United States and Canada who use SMH10 without firmware upgrade capability, Sena offers the SMH10 Upgrade Kit which includes the Main Unit of the SMH10, a Micro-USB Power Cable, and Cigarette Charger. SMH10 Trade-In Program is applicable to the users in United States and Canada. I was floored, the darn thing has been flawless for two riding seasons and without any hesitation Tristan said “Sorry you got a bad one, we’ll make it right.” Now that is customer service!

The Sena 10S is the successor to the groundbreaking and hugely popular Sena SMH10 intercom (review), first released in 2010. Just by coincidence, The Sena SMH10 intercoms and the new Scala Rider G4 intercom system arrived within 24 hours of each other. So comparisons are inevitable, but in some ways, the two systems are aimed at different audiences. Pair with a GPS for spoken instructions, which will take precedence during an intercom conversation. The intercom connection will resume after the GPS instructions end.

The 4.0 firmware update for the Sena SMH10 will provide major new enhancements to the system, including: Turn the headset on and press the Phone button on the SMH10 intercom module for five seconds until the Red/Blue LED pattern starts and multiple beeps are heard. Within two (2) seconds tap the Jog Dial again; the LED starts flashing red, double-tone beeps are heard and a “ Media selective pairing” announcement is heard. Select the Sena SMH10 V4 device from the Bluetooth device listing on the mobile/smart phone and if needed enter 0000 as the PIN. i have a sena smh10 installed on my bell helmet would this be be suitable to converse with mypillion?

As long as the basic connection rules are followed; e.g. A to B, C to A and D to C, getting three, and then four users into a common forum is pretty simple.

In other words, if I’m in intercom conversation with another SMH10 user, and my RADAR detector activates (which is audio connected to the SR10), that audio is “mixed” into the current ongoing intercom connection to the SMH10. This allows me to pass along that info to the other rider(s) immediately. The new participant in the conference is added by “D” making an intercom call to “C”. Once accepted, “D” now becomes the fourth member of the conference. The limitation here is that “D” can only link in via “C” for conferencing.

That’s right — only one! It’s called the “Phone Button” because is controls pretty much all of the functions of a paired cell phone.With a new feature comes a new pairing procedure. Turn the system on, press the Jog Dial for five seconds until the Red LED flashes rapidly and a series of beeps is heard. Within two (2) seconds, tap the Phone button. The Blue LED starts flashing and high tone double-beeps are heard, followed by a “ Multipoint Pairing” announcement. I was excited to learn that a new firmware came out that people with Macs can use. Even though there were no Mac instructions I was able to move along just fine. Most users want to listen the music together during conversation so wish Sena company release the new version can working easier for user.’ Some owners have reported issues (see the Owner Comments section below), mainly with the Mac OS versions and MS Vista platforms. It should be noted also that Sena does not list, nor support, the Vista platform.

A key component not to be overlooked in the Sena SMH10 Version 4 firmware release is the SMH10 Manager Software application, version 1.3 (also released 2 April 2012). It is available for Windows XP, Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) and now Mac OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6 and Lion 10.7).

I like the new features of v4.0, particularly its voice prompts ensuring me of what connections are made and the crisp clear intercom, but functionality is not as good as v3.3. I anxiously await the refining of version 4.”
