Carpuride for BMW motorcycles, W502B

[@rizal2765]

Thanks to you @Bikers Brew, i have bought myself W702B. Not regret it since my phone is already 6.85inch in size. I have managed to control the tft and the audio through my cardo (before w702b purchase), and with android auto, i use BT mode, so the audio is always force to cardo. My guest, if someone have it, he could combine it with WunderLINQ device.

[@jenedla]

Thanks for the video. Subscribed. The 502 and 702 are on my radar, and like you I'm trying to decide which might be the better option. Riders like you who take the time to create this content is incredibly helpful. Thanks also for the opportunity to possibly win this 502. Cheers

[@BikersBrew]

thanks for comment, means a lot, take away the BS, say it like it is, thats what we have promised to do on here, we may not be amazing video producers, but we have a story to tell and our goal is the trust of our subscribers, simple. Cheers

[@cncdaddio]

Maybe a 6" would be the sweet spot

[@pulptomato]

Thanks for the comparison, very useful, since many like me want one of these, but don't know the best size! Me, now I see this, I decide, I will go with the W502B, lovely size for my eyes and good looking on the bike! :)

[@HarleytheBandit]

Been looking at this sat nav with Apple car play for a while so thanks for your reviews etc, great vids

[@BikersBrew]

Cheers for the comment much appreciated, have to say Carplay on the bike is a game changer.

[@HarleytheBandit]

@@BikersBrew Youre welcome brother, I actually have the 502 in my basket on Amazon right now at £199.99 plus theres a discount of £40 available on it till the end of May making it £159.99 so a bargain I think. However, I'm gonna hold up buying just in case my luck changes ;)

[@TheMadEnglishman]

I have a GS with the BMW Nav prep which would love to have a 502B mated with it :)

[@gpmf5874]

Thanks for the review. The 5" Carpuride looks perfect for a forthcoming ride to France.

[@BikersBrew]

Just a great unit all rounder, and on most bikes the 502 probably suits better, but the 702 prob better for those that use glasses as its just that bit clearer when riding. cheers for the comment.

[@MartinMoore-bc1ni]

great video, thanks for sharing. Before the last section I thought you would go for the 5 inch. I'd be happy to give it a good home😂

[@geog379]

Thanks. I adapted a broken Garmin and magnetic contacts to w702 😊for my Suzuki Vstrom

[@leedonohue4605]

I like the idea of this. I have a 2022 BMW r1250r, where the navigation preparation is in the centre of the handle bars. The W702b might be too big and hit any tank bag so I think this the W502B will sit more neatly. The BMW Connected ride navigation is only 5.5 inches so I think this would be a nice compromise.

[@BikersBrew]

Yup, have to agree with that Lee,

[@DavidBauman-me8dm]

Brilliant video and info. Have the same bmw. Still using good old fashion maps. Happy Trails

[@BikersBrew]

Hey David, thanks for the comment, much appreciated, yes I know maps are great, but I only use them when out hiking these days but on the bike, I use my MRA app which is just amazing, but each to their own. Cheers

[@helmutfitz8957]

Informative video. Reckon one of those would look good on my BMW.

[@capers62]

Very interesting and useful comparison. Thank you.

[@YobboinAus]

Looks like a great bit of kit , thanks for the insightful review

[@MartinMoore-bc1ni]

Great video, thanks for sharing.Before the last section my guess was that you would go with the 5 inch screen. I'd be very happy to give it a good home!

[@loftysaltmarsh69]

Never used Apple CarPlay before as my old car is 15 years old 😂…..I’ll bet it works great. Luckily I have the right bracket on my bike.

[@maxthe15]

I think these are really smart gadgets for each motorcycle.

[@TheDervMan]

Yes you can update the firmware, it's very straight forward but you have to ask them for the new firmware. HAving said that I bricked two units trying to upgrade the firmware as they sent me the wrong file! I needed the version that means you can leave your phone paired with the Carpuride. 3rd time lucky for me 🤞

[@BikersBrew]

Nice one Dervman cheers for that info, much appreciated, sure it will help me and a few others.

[@AlistairLennox]

Can you use the BMW handlebar wheel with this?

[@sadisticclowngaming187]

Hey there hope I am not to late for the competition to win the W502B I have enjoyed watching your video thanks for the feedback definitely looking at getting one for my R1200RS holding thumbs for the win!

BIKERBREW W502B CARPURIDE

[@richardjamnitzky5355]

great video keep them coming

[@tx50]

Would like to get the W502B for my GS! 😄

[@klausmeier2214]

I own the same device. I prefer the smaller W502, because I want to drive and enjoy my bike. The bigger W702 is ok, if you want to stream Netflix on a very boring higway trip. But one remark for the brewer... ... it would be a good idea to upgrade your video and audio equipment. The sound is bad and color calibration does not seem to function correctly.

[@N3orion]

Hmm tempted but I use my iPhone but something dedicated would be a great add.

[@CJ125UK]

Great video comparison between the 502 and 702 .... like you totally undecided and obv dont have the benefit of having both to try! Not sure if the draw has already taken place but would love to win the 502B and the decision would then be made for me :)

[@BikersBrew]

Sorry CJ, yeah the draw was done a while ago, but please do consider the Carpurides as they are great, if you want an alternative then please checkout our other video for the brand new Chigee AIO5-PLAY, as its similar to the previous version but cheaper and without the front and rear cameras and on the new version there is a builtin GPS module.

[@Ian-lt6wp]

thank you for the info now looking to get one.

[@BikersBrew]

Thanks Ian, the Carpuride represents great value for money and does exactly what its supposed to do.

[@cherieboyle7788]

Would love this for my bike could do with a satnav and something to play my music on

[@motorcyclistfromholland8856]

Fantastic screen!

[@daniellagueux7169]

Thanks for the review. One thing I wonder though, does the size of the 702B mounted in the NAV cradle interfere with the visibility of the tft? If so, the 502 would definitely be the choice for me

[@BikersBrew]

Hi Daniel, on the GS it does not interfere with the bikes TFT in anyway, on other bikes that could be a different story, but yes the 502 is considerably smaller and on some bikes could very well be a better fit.

[@martymoore3641]

Looks good! The 5inch model looks to be the way to go over the 7inch. Great review and fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@BikersBrew]

Cheers Marty, good luck

[@AndyStewart-ek1he]

Contemplating getting one, as my garmin is poor now and I’m not shelling out £600 for the new one, good review 👍

[@BikersBrew]

Nice one Andy, as I have said all along, Google and apple update their maps daily and theres no charge, I got fed up of having to update maps on Garmin and tom tom apps, plus with the google map apps etc you get realtime traffic updates, which is important to many folks especially commuters, daily riders etc. On sunday I used mine on a very seldom used fairly unknown single track road up in the Dales and google was bang on, also you can now download maps to your device with google to give you offline capability. Cheers for the comments fella, much appreciated.

[@thetrailbuzzard]

Subscribed. You guys are a hoot! I have the Nav 6 mounted on my 23' GS and its constantly freezing up and I'm bout done with it. I've got old eyes so I think I'll go with the w702b model. Thanks for the great review.

[@BikersBrew]

Cheers for that TB, and yeah my '23 GS suits it, theres plenty of room on the nav cross bar and as a 6' bloke it doesnt interfere with my view of the road ahead.

[@thetrailbuzzard]

@@BikersBrew Perfect! Thank you for the speedy reply.

[@ollietyrrell2429]

Be nice if they could get it to work on selector wheel

[@BikersBrew]

Agree, 100%, other manufacturers have done it so its been suggested to Carpuride as part of our feedback.

[@jboyle78]

Fantastic review as always guys very informative for your viewers giving information on the products. Plus i love the slight comedy value you guys give to the reviews. In it to win it fingers crossed

[@BikersBrew]

Thanks John, comments much appreciated and good luck in the prize draw. 🤞

[@twrx1757]

Better and cheaper than BMW's offerings. Thanks for the info. 👍

[@BikersBrew]

Agree, a lot cheaper with much more flexibility and so much easier to use IMHO.

[@LarsBrohave]

Nice. Would love that on my new bike.

[@BikersBrew]

You're in the draw Lars !!

[@robindalton1790]

Are you relying on your phone signal though? If so what happens when your touring and are in a location without a signal, can you still use the maps like on a dedicated sat nav?

[@BikersBrew]

Hi Robin, no not relying on phone signal as there was a big change with Google maps earlier in the year whereby you can now download maps from google to work off line, but for me personally I use MRA (My Route App) for all my planning and navigation which also has detailed offline map download and the whole of the UK is only 1.8gb, and it works flawlessly. hope that helps.

[@KennethWiger]

Thanks for the review, been looking at the 502 for my F900XR. 🙂

[@BikersBrew]

Hi Kenneth, having only moved on my XR in January, I would deffo say the 502B is the right one for that bike, the 702 is far too big.👍

[@KennethWiger]

@@BikersBrewI’ll wait and see if I have any luck in your competition, if not I think I will get one this summer. 😊

[@1Markyparky]

Good comparison video - Been considering an android auto device so I'd love to have this one 😃

[@BikersBrew]

Cheers Mark, I think at the price point of these units they represent great value for money. But phone based satnav and calls on a bike is the future.

[@lindsayharron8576]

Very informative video and should make the experience similar to driving with CarPlay. Thanks

[@BikersBrew]

Thanks Lindsay, like many others have said, we have little time for distractions on a bike, but navigation is paramount for exploring new rides and thats the main use for me and whilst I use a dedicated bike nav app for my trips and adventures, for everyday riding you cant be Google maps on a 5 or 7 inch screen. 👍

[@TheCliolegend]

Great video. Subcribed as a result. Am looking for a replacement to my nav 6. This maybe just what im looking for. Ta

[@BikersBrew]

thanks so much for the support, and means a lot to us. As I have said previously, this channel is more about looking after our fellow bikers, no BS just what we really think, and it seems its doing us ok. good luck in the draw.

[@midlifebiker6172]

Was thinking about this or the chigee unit. The chigee has the cameras front and rear, but not the BMW mount capability…..I’m still on the fence 🤔…. Good review…thanks for that…

[@BikersBrew]

In that case hold your front brake for a bit, as something special on the Chigee front, but cant say yet. 🤫

[@midlifebiker6172]

good to know.. thanks for the heads up

[@realcundo]

Does the BMW bracket only provide power to the unit or does it allow to control the unit using BMW's wonder wheel as well?

[@Lumalee1]

Yes you are right, it just supplies power and the ability to quick mount and remove.

[@morningdew9450]

I like your video and i looking forward to win this. But how you wana get my adress ?

Just ordered one w503 Grenville f f f f very good 👍🤣

[@kennydiesagain]

I have an old version on my explorer and does everything i want. Why manufacturers dont add nav lile the africa twin is beyond me

[@BikersBrew]

100% agree Kenny, any bike with some form of TFT screen should have carplay/android auto builtin these days, its been on cars for years and as the required tech has massively improved and got a lot smaller I cant see the issue either.

[@northumbrianrider785]

interesting... looking between this and the chigee....

[@BikersBrew]

Two very different camps I think, value for money and topshelf, especially on price.

[@northumbrianrider785]

@@BikersBrew agreed. Why I am interested in videos like yours!

[@fransvankogelenberg]

My 2 cents. Carpuride can’t be beaten on price. Chinese is nice but it has more functionality. If you need it fine. If not waste of money. And Chinese is non removable

[@lambo2817]

5” so much better on a gs, does it still out too much from the mounts?

[@BikersBrew]

Agree, but bit too small for my eyes and sadly cant change them so sticking with the 7", 🤣

How did you find the touch sensitivity with motorcycle gloves on?

Hey Mike, it does depend on the gloves used, but those with the special panels in the finger tips for screens work flawlessly, even tested them in the rain and still spot on.

[@NJMike67]

@@BikersBrew Funny…I have a W502B and mine will only work with naked fingers. I guess it technically works with my touch sensitive gloves, but it’s near 80% failure rate for gloves that work perfectly with my phone. Maybe I got a dud.

Got the 702B but wish I had ordered the 5 inch screen. The 702B is just too large.

[@BikersBrew]

Hi, yeah I was thinking the same, but as I said in the latest video, I have decided to stick with the 702 as I find it hard to tap buttons on the smaller screen, although I do agree the 502 is a better size as far as aesthetics. 👍
