Multi user Sena Pi
Hi,
I use the Sena Pi to communicate with my husband while riding our horses. We have a friend that rides with us, and were hoping that we could get an additional unit for her, but I see that the Pi does not offer connectivity for more than 2 users. Since many of your helmet/communication options do offer multi rider connectivity, I was hoping you might upgrade the Pi to offer it, as well. We can't just purchase one of your helmets, because the helmets for horseback riding are different and not interchangeable with cycling helmets. Otherwise, you could collaborate with a helmet manufacturer, such as Troxel, and offer an equestrian version. I think you are missing out on a very lucrative market. Thanks, Judy

I agree. I love the PI. Is there any plan to upgrade the firmware to allow for a third rider to join the conversation like the Snowtalk can connect 4 units? Please let me know if this is going to happen or if it is possible and when. The helmets do not do what we want. The helmets do not come in a big enough size for me and not small enough for my son. My wife would also like to join in the conversation. I would also like to use while downhill skiing and cross-country skiing. Thank you for your time.

Just in case anyone else is wondering about the +Mesh:
Called support. They said the +Mesh is only compatible with a *single* Sena Pi. You can't connect more than one Pi at a time. You can only connect multiple Mesh compatible headsets. Given that the Mesh headsets can already connect to each other, I'm not totally sure what the point of the +Mesh is. :(

Hi everyone,
I have been wondering the same thing, whether there is a way to connect a third Sena Pi, as I would like to ride and communicate with a third person. It turns out there is a workaround I have used successfully! It involves using the Universal Intercom setting and connecting a non-sena device (NSD), in my case, some bluetooth earphones to create a 3 way intercom. The sena pi supports 4 different types of pairing: a) pi to pi intercom pairing; b) phone pairing; c) second phone pairing; d) universal intercom pairing. Using D, you can connect 2 sena pi and one other non-sena bluetooth headset (as long as it supports hands free) all into a three-way intercom conversation.
Here's how (make sure you have the manual handy):
1. Get two sena pi headsets and make sure they are paired through intercom pairing (rather than phone pairing, second phone pairing or universal pairing). Keep one on (we'll call it Pi A) and turn off the other (Pi B).
2. Read the Sena Pi manual to see how to connect a non-sena device through universal pairing. Enter the universal pairing setting on Pi A and the pairing mode on your NSD. The two should connect and begin an intercom session. Keep that session on while you boot up Pi B.
3. Turn on Pi B and press the (-) button for 1 second to pair it to Pi A. This will create a three way intercom session between A, B, and NSD.
This is a great workaround if you only have 2 Sena but want to include a third person who has a bluetooth headset of any brand. The only downside is that the audio quality between Sena and NSD isn't that great.
I would like to see if this workaround would allow 3 Pi devices to connect, but I don't have a third one to test it on. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. The only reason I can think of is that even if you tell the device you are connecting a NSD, it might recognize a Pi as a Pi, no matter what you label it. Still, might be worth a shot.

My wife bought a pair of these for us, and while they're great, we would also love to be able to get more than 2 people into the conversation.
Adding my +1 to this feature request.

+1 for wanting this feature. Give the Pi some love and updates Sean!!

We use Pi for horses and our bikes. We ride with a group and would also like to add more than one person. Seems like a huge market you are missing out on.

it is a shame that Sena product developoement obviously is not capable of fixing the plunder they made in the first place !
why in the world M1 helmets can interact with up to 4 helmets but Pi can only manage one counterpart either another Pi or a M1 helmet ?
god damed Sena firmware/software developoers lets sit down on your asses and rattle your brains and fix this shortcomming !
make the Pi firmware acting like the M1firmware ! i figure this is a job that could be done if only it is agreed to !
come on ! do it !0
