Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for your Motorcycle with Carpuride

[@adventureundone]

What do u all use for your motorcycle nav?

Brain memory 😛

[@adventureundone]

@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie🤣 my data storage is almost maxed out.

[@josephthornton8560]

Garmin Zumo XT. I can also blue tooth music from my phone through it when I am riding in town, as well as blue Nav instructions and even phone calls into my helmet (again in town). If you connect your Garmin to your phone, the mobile phones tell each other where congestion is, and the Garmin will route you around problems.

[@Jermz1979]

​@@josephthornton8560this does all the comms with dual Bluetooth. The traffic can be handled with Google Maps or Waze

I use my S20 FE with a sincetop phone mount and calimoto. All my gloves work quite well with touchscreens so, ts doesn't bother me to just use my phone I do plan on getting a 7in androiauto/apple carplay system. The horror stories of motorcycle vibrations destroying camera sensors and gyro sensors on phones kinda makes me feel uneasy. Can't imagine not taking photos while on tour with my motorcycle

I’ve had mine for about a week running on a KTM 790 with an iPhone & a Pactalk Bold & have tried both connection configurations. I have also noticed the static when the Pactalk is run through the Carpuride. I’m now back to pairing the Pactalk directly to my phone & then the phone to the Carpuride. (The only drawback to this is that you have to select Pactalk as output vs Carpuride in Spotify with each startup)

I've just been on a four-day trip around Scotland with one of these on my Tiger, absolutely brilliant peice of kit.

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

Clearly not on an adventure bike going off road right? the missing pinch and zoom is a pretty big deal imho but how about the maps.. Andy off-road maps possible on this thing?

[@greenclydefrog]

This is a great unit after a month of testing. I recommend to replace the screw that holds the ball adapter to the unit. It comes with a Phillips head screw without thread lock. I was on the way to work a few days ago and my unit came loose from the ball adapter and was about to fly off. Luckily, I wasn't going fast enough. I replaced it with a hex screw @ 25-inch lbs with thread lock.

Good Vid. Wireless CarPlay uses the WiFi for data transfer. When you connect to the DJI WiFi you are disconnecting from the wireless part of the CarPlay, hence the disconnect.

[@stevef5490]

Thanks for this review! Just ordered mine. Got it for under two hundred dollars on sale from Carpuride's site. For the price and features it can't be beat. All I need is my music and maps, just like in the car. This seems perfect for that.

[@flyterlucki]

It can be used for offroad gpx?

[@SophisticatedHeathen]

I have been looking at these since Bearded Grump got one, but haven't seen any quality reviews. Thanks for a good review! Now I want one!

[@advdecals]

Thanks for the detailed review. Did you manage to find a screen protector? If so, can you post a link in the description please? Thanks

[@miguelhughes9783]

Does anybody know it you can install this on HONDA CBR sport bikes??

[@pranksterkc]

Having Techne review motorcycle gadget means I’m buying 1 ASAP 😂😂😂😂

[@fader2701]

the wifi/bt that carplay/android auto uses...is also needed by your dji. so when you connected the dji it knocked the wifi off the connection to the carpuride.

[@TheDervMan]

Thanks for the detailed review, it was very helpful.

[@greenclydefrog]

I didn't know you have a second channel. lol I ended up buying audeze because of your review. now this

[@adventureundone]

LOL, glad to have you here as well man! What bike do you ride?

[@greenclydefrog]

@@adventureundone Victory Octane, I’m not a fan of mounting a phone onto my handle bar.

[@a13jo]

Do you think this can work better on a quad lock mount? Nor concern about vibration, just want something to take it off the bike quickly. Thanks for the review 😊

[@adventureundone]

I created an awesome mounting system. I'll be showing it in my next video

[@a13jo]

@@adventureundone need to se that ASAP

[@a13jo]

I connected to my cell phone just like you did but I can't hear music or calls. I will not use it everyday so don't want the carpuride control everything. Any ideas how to fix? What OS version do you have?

[@paulojorgegil]

I have the same problem.... i use a cardo freecom 4+

[@a13jo]

@@paulojorgegil let me know if you find any solution please

[@paulojorgegil]

@@a13jo Ok. I'm using android phone and cardo freecom 4+. When i find a way to resolve that problem i will tell you.

Why not turn the u bolt towards you?? So the u part towards windshield.

[@adventureundone]

I configured a really nice mount, I showed this in my most recent vid

[@nickmaag8423]

After 4 months how is this holding up?? Everything works how it’s supposed to the first time. What I’ve found in life is that good stuff ain’t cheap and cheap stuff ain’t good..

[@craigbrighton3026]

Can you run Gaia directly and not through apple car play?? so you can pinch the screen??

[@adventureundone]

if connected through an iPhone it will auto sync to the carplay app.

[@fader2701]

i have this on my indian, wish there was a way to do full android auto but instead of blue toothing to the bike audio system, blue tooth from the phone to the bike directly. the audio is sooo much clearer from phone to bike.

[@stephenbrown9400]

I want to see this running Android Auto before i buy in.

[@a13jo]

Plenty of videos around there. Have one and works great

[@Phoenix_1972]

Purchased for my BMW F750GS, but does not power on via USB, not enough power from the USB socket - buyers beware

[@a13jo]

Your outlet doesn't have enough power

[@Phoenix_1972]

@@a13jo , that’s what I said so to warn others, incidentally carpuride now do a W702B that comes with a powered mounting bracket that fits directly onto the satnav cradle

[@fader2701]

always use switched 12v. these carpuride dont really love always constant 12v

[@bigk7788]

Not saying it's not true but something isn't right your headset should not be working while paired to the phone. That's not how that system was designed to work. The phone and headset should both be paired to the screen.

[@samboles3670]

you can pair it either way, but in my opinion, the way he has it is much better for the sound quality at least on this unit

[@bigk7788]

@samboles3670 again it should not work that way. It has to do with how you pair everything together. Not saying it can't be done it just depends on the phone you have, if it'll allow for multiple pairings to do the same things. If you have a headset paired to your phone and not the GPS you'll lose functions with the GPS and most likely will have issues with pairing in the future. The idea is that the GPS screen is the central brain and controls the phone and headset. If you don't run it that way you might as well not even have it and just run CarPlay/Android Auto from your phone mounted to the handlebar.

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

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! 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! ;;)

[@adventureundone]

you cant pinch zoom on a cars car play either. But you are right, there are many brands making carplay devices.

[@felixcomms]

Ordered this ... worked a treat ... But boy is it ugly and far too big for most bikes. Spent 3 nights in the garage moving it from position to position and in the end sent it back. It's like a Wide Screen TV on your bike. It looks stupid.

[@a13jo]

That's why I ordered the 5". Perfect
