A way to remotely activate Gopro Bluetooth Audio Pack

Hi,

I have your new 20S and Gopro Bluetooth audio pack.  I normally have my gopro on my front fairing facing me.  This makes it inconvenient to turn the audio pack on and off with the switch in on the back.  It would be nice to have either a voice command or a way to program a button on the 20S to turn the audio pack on and off.  While it is on, I cannot listen to music.  When I'm done recording and wish to listen to music, I have to pull over to turn it off safely then resume my trip.  While it is nice to have the ability to record my voice, it is an inconvenience on longer trips.  I hope you will take this into account in a future firmware update.

 

Thank you,
Keith Eng

  I would like to see something like this too. I'm about to purchase the Bluetooth Audio Pack and was curious if you can turn on the Hero via voice, but also if it records music or FM Radio. So would love to see the request plus music + FM radio recording including turning off/on the Hero + BT Audio Pack.

  In addition to what was described above, my grip with the GP10 unit is that it is stupid in how it manages bluetooth versus internal mic. If we're not using UHD sound mode, I think we should have a mode where the GP10 effectively behaves as a intercom partner: bluetooth sound is only recorded when you press the intercom button, and it ends once you press it again. This way, GP10 could better mix sound coming from the internal mics and when requested (intercom call), revert to bluetooth sound (exclusively or or mixing down both sources, preferably configurable).

  When not on intercom mode, the GP10 wouldn't interfere on other headset activities (music, GPS etc).

  Hell, since you control both sides, you could even make this work on UHD mode provided you can have it pre-paired and close the connection fast enough. But having this behavior on noise-control mode should be straightforward and possible to implement with firmware updates.

  Sena, Please do something about this.

  This would save the Headset's battery as well as I noticed it drains very fast when using the GP10.
