Apple CarPlay On Your Motorcycle The Inexpensive, Easy Way
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With the Carpuride W502 or W702 you can quickly and easily add the same functionality to your motorcycle so your music, navigation and phone calls happen just like you're used to and your roadtrips are even more enjoyable.

Perfect timing! Been looking at the 7” for the Vstrom. Think will be perfect. Thank you sir 🤗

I aim to please!
These are all the same white-labeled Chinese Android devices that are then named and marketed through channels like these. Chigee sells the EXACT same unit. There are a few other 'brands' doing the same song and dance with these units. They just use their own branded packaging. It is coming from the same factory! IF you pay more then $130 for this 5" version you have been conned. I'm not knocking the devices but some of these channels are framing it like these are separate brands or something like that and that they 'discovered' it. No. The biggest drawback is the fact that you cannot pinch and zoom the screen like on other map apps. There is no pinch and zoom! The screen has glare and as it collects dust every time you touch it you will create micro scratches. Other then that it is pretty good value for money but if you look around you can even find these as cheap as $100 with no-name on it. You are literally paying extra for the custom packaging only! ;;)

Thanks for the info, that's good o know.
Hoping to see the all in one screen functionality seen in some cars. Integration of CarPlay to the tft and wheel controller would be nice. Just do it.

Thanks... it must be a German thing
I've got the Garmin nav 6 on the gs, but I've had nothing but trouble with it ever since I've had it. I may look into this as an option for navigation. I like how you can use the bmw cradle for power. Thanks for sharing!

I had the Nav 6 and pretty quickly got rid of it. Lots of problems and I'd rather use Waze and be alerted to police

@@mustachemoto I agree. I mean I like the functionality of the nav 6 but it would freeze up… a lot. Especially cold weather. Now I look at the blank without the nav 6 and I’d like to have another gps. For trips. So I can give my phone a break.
I'm having a helluva time getting this damn thing to play audio. Without even pairing my Sena to it, my iPhone will NOT play audio once it is paired (through the iPhone speaker) to the Carpuride, so needless to say it certainly won't through the Sena once it's paired to the iPhone. Support hasn't offered any firmware update or solutions, and once I brought up a refund has gone radio silence. Any ideas (anyone)?

There are two audio settings on the unit (go to the Home Screen and click the purple “audio output” icon. The iPlay/auto setting streams audio from your phone directly to your helmet and the carpuride just controls it. The BT Trans setting routes audio through the carpuride to your helmet and seems to mess everything up.

@@mustachemoto OK, so I pair my phone to the Carpuride, then I select iPlay/Audio on the settings, then pair my Sena to the iPhone; sound right? I thought I had already tried virtually every combination, but I'll give this a whirl and report my findings.
