I don't know all that was changed with the 1.1 update. I do know that I switched back to the 1.0 version because the max volume level is restricted on 1.1. There is a noticeable difference. Discussed with Sena tech on the phone. He said that Schuberth requested the max volume be lowered and suggested if I didn't like it to switch back to 1.0.

There is a strange relationship between Sena & Schuberth. It appears that Schuberth tells Sena what to do, even though Sena might disagree. My complaints about the performance of the SC1 are now being sent to Schuberth. Maybe if Schuberth gets an earful of the SC1 shortcomings they will then instruct Sena to make changes.

Yeah, talked to Sena reps at moa rally and it was definately a different vibe. .

I asked the same guys I’ve been talking to for years about the bike-bike issues I was experiencing (generally love the sc1a for my uses - only real complaint is intercom). We talked through it and I made the comment that I figured they would issue a firmware update like every other Sena product I’ve owned to iron out the bugs. The facial expressions and body language were what you’d see asking your wife if you could buy an additional 30k bike two weeks after the first - best way I could describe it. . .

Where can you download firmware 1.0 for SC1A? Thanks

 

Guys you’re very nice when you talk about the SC1, personally I believe it’s the biggest POS radio I’ve ever owned. We can’t talk bike to bike because the receiving person can’t understand a word you’re saying.
I’ve talked to my supplier and everyone of the salesmen I’ve talked to says they don’t recommend the SC1 because of the problems they are having with it. I sure don’t remember them telling me not to buy it though.
I think Schuberth should stick to helmets and not get into the radio business, this is the second time they struck out with a radio.

 

It's a two-step process. You need the app for the computer and the firmware to install on the headset using the app.

I was able to do this two days ago by getting the application software for my mac from this site: https://oem.sena.com/oem-schuberth/

Today I went to the above site and received a "502 bad gateway" response. Hopefully they'll get it back online soon. Sena has another application manager for their other devices, but it won't work for the SC1.

Once you get the application for your computer, the helmet needs to be connected to the computer to install the firmware. It's not the most friendly app, but it does work (at least for my mac).

Good luck!

 

According to the Schuberth support forum, firmware release 1.1 reduces volume levels to better support the new, thinner speakers built into the C4 production starting 2018. If you have the "older" C4, you don't need it. In addition, you can set VOX sensitivity now (3 levels low-med-high)

 

I learned another trick from some research on the iPhone. If you turn on the equalizer in the music settings and choose "Late Night," the phone puts out a little more volume.

Tried it today with firmware 1.1 on my new (2/18 build date) C4 helmet and had plenty of volume with the helmet mostly in the open air. Playing music through the Nav VI.

 

I sent a question into Schuberth tech support a week ago about reduced volume but zero response

Thought I'd check in on any updates today and it appears that Sena has released a v1.2 firmware update for the SC1. Can't find anything about it on the inter web. I installed the update so I guess I have an excuse for a ride.

 

^ SC1 (Standard and Advanced) v1.2 has been out several months now

 

Correct - installed it as soon as it was out. Sound volume works fine again with the 1.2 update. System generally "feels" more stable. Growing pains I guess.

 

Thanks
