Folks: FYI the C3 comes with a plastic handlebar mount as standard, a metal ball mount like the one I have is available for an additional $19 (£15) if required.
@TheMissendenFlyer, hi can you explain the connections needed, you mentioned you have plugged it into your USB under the seat, I need to know if that's all required as I would use the tablet on two different bikes so need an easy option to move from one to another. Thanks
Hi TMF, great reviews as always and your's seems to be the only one for the C3 model at the moment!!! However, I can't find the ball mount you mention on their website on the accessories page... any ideas, please?
Good video TMF. Some negativity below about being a sell out, how are we bikers supposed to know about the working of these products if people like you don’t review them for us. I for one am glad you’ve made a video on it! Thanks 👌
@@TheMissendenFlyer Hi Andy, I have just ordered mine and now received a message from Aocci to say do I want to stick with the straight plastic attachment or the spherical metal bracket. It’s $19 extra for the metal bracket. Do you think this is what you were sent by Aocci? It might be worth trying to find out and clarifying for your viewers because there’s an additional cost if that is the case. At the moment I don’t know whether to stick with the plastic bracket or pay the extra $19 for what I think you’ve been sent. Cheers.
I have to say I wasn't convinced when I first saw yours then I heard how much, for the money you really can't complain, so far mine has been solid as a rock and (including the mount) costs less than a Quadlock!
Hi Andy … I really don’t understand the negative comments you get from some people here… I think this is excellent bringing these ideas with discount and just ordered one !! Amazing value.. bit nervous about wiring in but will find a way.. thank you very much for this … Mike
Thanks Andy, just ordered to cheer myself up, in bed with a chest infection, listening to the howling wind and rain outside. Spring seems a long way off!
@@Ripley6867 whilst I mostly agree with you, having this type of tech saves time (best/fastest route) and money (alerts you to speed cameras), provides direction when you have no idea where you are, and offers some entertainment when you need it.
Thanks Andy, never miss one of your vids, I just ordered one of these! Really appreciate all the vids you put up including you and Carol, just great viewing informative and fun! Oh and I love TWITS :) keep up the great work, I'm also a triumph fanboy (I have 3)
Good morning. Thank you very much for this, much appreciated. Been pondering a few versions for a while now but you've sealed the deal with your review. I've just ordered 2, one for me and one for my son and will wrap them up from Santa and act surprised on Christmas morning so nobody nows who got me mine 😉🤫👍
Great timing as just changing bikes and need something like this. I have no issue with product vids like this as you know it is a product review from a channel I trust👍
Had been considering this before your video, used your link and purchased, and also purchased a Thunder Box which makes it really simple to connect to your battery, no switched live etc. Hopefully you’ll reap the rewards of my purchase. 😀👍
I did some research, and it seems like the C5 Pro and C6 Pro come with a camera and tire pressure monitoring, which makes them a bit pricier. Using the 22% discount code TMF22, the prices are: C3: $92.82 (~£72) C5 Pro: $155.99 (~£122) C6 Pro: $170.82 (~£134) I think I’ll start by testing the C3 since it’s affordable and low-risk at just £72. Excited to see how it performs!
I got the C6pro on Lamb Chops discount code and it's outstanding value for money. Sony sensor 1080p cameras. Handy using the rear cam as a rear view mirror. The only issue I have is the GPS speed is locked in km/h and the tyre pressures in psi are just converted from bar so they can jump by 2 psi because of decimal rounding. The best thing is it gets my expensive phone off my handle bars. Love it. If you want the dash cams and tpms just go for it. You won't be disappointed.
Yes you can get other models with extra functionality but I wanted something simple to install. You are correct though, my link gives a 22% discount on ANY model in the range….
Hi Andy..thanks for the review on the C3 and in fact all of your vids, reviews, twits and scrans etc. I have just ordered the C5 pro which gives a few more bells and whistles and your discount link worked just fine so less dosh for me to pay and a wee bit for you so alls well in the world. Looking forward to receiving it and having a play though it wont get tried on the bike until at least March. In Denmark, we arent allowed out on the road on 2 wheels from 1st Nov til 1st March unless you have extra insurance which I dont have. I would like to wish you and Mrs Flyer a very merry christmas and look for to many more tubes from you in the new year. All the best. Steve
About 30-35% on top of your normal premium. It's based on winter months being historically more harsh and therefore higher risk. The winters of late havnt been particularly cold and sometimes even mildish, which with heated seat and gloves would be fine for a ride out. My Tiger 800 costs me about £400 for a year bearing in mind that the bike cost 20 grand new due to 180% import tax and 25% vat so they ain't cheap here
Thanks Andy, I ordered mine when you first mentioned it and like you I'd priced up the quodlok stuff and it was way more than this little unit even before your discount and you get a bit of a xmas present too. Happy days
Thanks Andy, I have been impressed with the functionality you have shared on recent videos and today, and have ordered one for my RE650 Interceptor where I currently use my Garmin which I swap from BMW to RE, but thought this would give me benefits for the Android phone I have. I also have a twin USB outlet on the bars and a ball mount. So good to go hopefully!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I just ordered an intercom from Ali Express for £11! Gets 4.8 from over 2000 reviews. The review that sold it to me was a guy who said he delivers blood and clear communication is essential, and he's just replaced the same one he's been using in all conditions for the last 8-years ! And to think, some people pay £300 for a Sena!
Thanks Andy, i already thought about ordering one, now i did. Can't wait to receive it. Keep op the excelent videos. And maybe a bit early but happy hollidays.
I purchased one of these after seeing your previous video of you using it, and used your discount code. It arrived in NZ (free shipping) in less than two weeks. I just finished fitting it this evening. You're right, it's a no-brainer for the price. All I needed a waterproof SatNav, and this one is perfect.
Thanks for the great suggestion and the discount. I ordered my C3 with your code last week off the back of another video. I paid around €250 for the “connectivity” add on for my Triumph Tiger Sport and frankly the navigation is rubbish. Look forward to using this on both my Tiger Sport and my Interceptor.
Andy I got my C3 thanks again for the discount code I think this is a no brainer as you say. Any idea what the green and yellow stickers in the box are for? 4:25
Thanks Andy just ordered mine, I have been looking at one of these for a while, will be great instead of vibrating my phone to death, also just joined the channel as I always love you content 👍
Good afternoon Andrew. I've ordered one. Hopefully it will be ok once I get it. It is, however shipped from abroad and will take 6-10 days delivery, plus 1-2 days lead time. If you want one for Christmas, it'll be touch and go, if you order now.
Thanks for the xmass pressie Andy just ordered one due to your review ...believe it or not I was looking for a phone mount today and then your review popped up ..I have bought this due to the fact I don't want to have my phone on view on the bike .....ignore the negative comments about promoting a product we all at the end of the day have to make a living ...and we all have bought something at some point due to a recommendation from a friend or a trusted source ...them thats giving it some should ask them selfs why they have the phone they have or the tv on the wall in there living room in fact the bike they are riding ...99% of the time it will be because of a recommend or review ...thats why we watch your channel..thanks again an rant over lol
Thanks TMF, I've ordered mine. Just to other purchasers if thinking of buying for Christmas, the shipping time is 6-10 days (not TMF's fault) - I ordered mine on the 21/11/2024 and am still awaiting for it to be delivered to my home address on 29/11/2024, with the last tracking update saying it had arrived in the GB via international flight on 26/11/2024. EDIT: Delivery update, has arrived today, 02/12/2024. Had a quick squint inside the box only, as it is a Christmas present (for myself), so have had to surrender it to the missus to wrap and place under the tree. Thanks again for the recommendation and review, TMF!
Yes good call-out - mine took around 2 weeks to come so need to get those orders in early for Christmas! Free shipping worldwide mind and no customs charges if having one delivered to the UK...
@@TheMissendenFlyer I've checked the link the price is coming up about £90.. is there a code or have I missed the offer. I do appreciate that I'm late to the party here
Personally, I reuse my old smartphone for this duty - got it in a quadlock, and tether to my actual phone's data (kept in my jacket pocket), and run calimoto. Perrrrrrfect and gives my old tech a new lease of life
@TheMissendenFlyer it wasn't a dig, I'm not on the bandwagon of bemoaning you promoting these things, I enjoy your content and understand you have to pay the bills - it was just another take on the whole bike nav kit is all
Had one for a few months now, here in Australia, works great and the best thing is you can move it from bike to bike,just need usb power. Simple usb socket from eBay wire up to battery and you’re good to go.
Hi Andy..juset received my shiny new Aoocci and very much looks the part. You mentioned on the vid that it works with many apps including Calimoto but it seems Calimoto can currently on work with carplay and not android..they are working on it but not there yet..merely fyi. Merry christmas to you and yours. Steve DK
Hi Andy, Was looking at a quadlock, but saw this as a better solution. Hopefully it's as good as the reviews......... Bikes MotoGuzzi V7 Special and a 1998 VFR800..... Thanks for the discount. ;-)
You have to add it to your basket and then you'll see the discount applied just before you commit and hit "buy" - you just need to go further along the process a little...
Looks like a great deal. Question - as my bike lives outdoors in a carpark when I'm not riding it, can I remove this unit easily or is it wired in permanently? Excuse the ignorance but I've been googling for the last hour or so and can find nothing about whether it's removable or not.
Hey mate just received my aocci, can I ask you where did you get the mount you have ? The one supply is like a handlebar mount want one to go on the mount bar above the speedo on a Suzuki vstrom cheers
Bought a cheap version (£34) from that well known online retailer of Chinese tech. Toured Europe using it. It did occasionally 'drop out' whilst using it, though that may have been my phone to blame. On the whole, a useful and cheap navigation aid.
Nice unit, saw the review John did on a different model a while back. However this one does the job at a great stocking filling price. Seasons Greetings!
Hi, this looks fabulous TMF. Will the discount still be available in the new year when I'll be able to put it on my birthday hint list for the family... if you catch my drift 😊
Morning Andy, Good to know this is the only Aoochi model that I can see with USB charging functionality. I have emailed them to see if they intend to have USB charging on the others like the C6 & C9. Also if they might do a direct to BMW nav mount like Carpuride & Chigee. Will let you know their reply.👍 Having emailed them they confirmed the C6 comes with USB connection but it's not recommended to use as it can give variable supply causing the unit to reset itself. I guess this down to the extra draw from the camera which the C3 does not have.
Hi Andy, thanks fir this. Quick question. Is it compatible with a 2020 R1250rs (purchased following yr recommendation. Would the wizzy wheel worlk etc?
Good value for money. I bought the Chigee which is a lot more expensive, albeit it does have cameras and (at additional cost) tyre pressure sensors. This should be pretty popular. Carplay linked up to a Cardo is brilliant.
I bought an unbranded one from eBay two months ago. I agree Andy, it’s a no brainer and massively cheaper than a dedicated sat nav. I paid just £60 for mine.
Bit baffled by this. So you have to bluetooth connect your phone to this device which you attach to your bars....why not just attach your phone to the bars with a quadlock and use that for navigation and avoid the 20 second boot up time and potential connection issues? What's the advantage here?
The vibration of the bike destroys the camera over time on the phone - at least that's what happenned to mine - a £1000 phone trashed thanks to vibrations through the handlebars. Not to menton the bigger screen is actually easier to use on the move than a phone..
As well as the vibration issue, I much preferto keep my phone safe in my pocket; also I like the reassurance that if i were to have an off out in the sticks and get hurt, my phone is with me rather than attached to the wreckage of my bike 25 yards away (if the phone is even still working...)
Andy, ordered the unit, what is the best way to connect to helmet I am not that tecky and would love to make my phone hands free when riding you seem to be the man with the plan, keep up the good work
@@TheMissendenFlyer I kinda get that but is there a particular intercom that you would recommend that I could use for taking calls on phone while riding?
Thanks Andy - I've ordered one. Could I ask whether the mount shown on your bike in the vid is the one supplied with the unit, or if not what mount you are using?
Thanks very much for help with discount , easy to do , I’ve ordered one 😊😊. Can I ask what I should buy to fit on my bike as I don’t know what’s the best handlebars fitting to buy ?
Looks good. I got an autonevee unit from ali Express with tpms and front and rear cameras for £92 odd. For me, the simplicity of use is great. Has everything i want and need and replaced my standalone camera system (which also had tpms), which cost me over £100 more than my android auto unit. The only thing i would like is a separate remote for changing the camera views and locking files, but i can live without that. Had it on around 4 months now and not had any issues with it. Will be buying another one for my other bike and more for any other bikes i get.
Not sure about the value of this unit. I have been using SYGIC maps on my iPhone for over 10 years. The phone is mounted over my bike dash so I can see it. It is plugged in via a USB cord, as using a GPS app on the phone will drain the battery very quickly. So my phone is an Apple unit, and I can switch apps while still listening to audio directions. So to add this means I still have to have the phone plugged in, as well as the CarPlay unit. I just don’t see the benefit.
No idea I'm afraid Paul - I've had another comment on here saying his turned up today so maybe hang on or give them a chase - I'm afraid customer fulfilment is nowt to do with me!
Morning Andy, as far as I’m concerned it’s a case of C3? P.O.! (See what I did there?😋) I already have a quad lock anti vibration mount so I can just use my phone directly for navigation. As for playing music through headphones on the bike, personally I think it’s distracting and removes part of the motorcycling experience. I also have a Beeline unit I can use on either my Honda Dax or Kawasaki Eliminator. Each to their own though and some people will obviously feel differently about it. My Christmas present is a Goldtop Submariners merino wool sweater in Ecru in their Black Friday sale down from £120 to £102. Gorgeous, heavy weight, warm and beautifully made will keep me warm on and off the bike.😁
What an excellent unit, and what a price. Unfortunately, my Christmas and New Years present was a new furnace and water heater. As we're getting 2-3 feet of snow in the next 5 days. I guess this was a better no brainer for me. Lol. 👍👍
I used the other link to get the other one , now awaiting delivery, new bike to fit it to next year Yamaha MT09 Y-AMT to replace my Honda NC700S, I have three bikes so I will do the same as you and make it swappable.
Thank you Mr. Flyer for the 'heads up' on a real bargain. I've just forwarded the video to my son and daughter in law.....you never know. As for the 'doomsters' amongst us, those of us who have got to 'know you' also know if it wasn't as good as advertised, you would also tell us.
Cheers Gary - I'm not saying it's perfect (screen could be a bit brighter, would be good if it had a "quick release" function) but for the money it is outstanding value! Good luck with your pressie quest....
Santa has treated me to one, but they are recommending I upgrade to the optional metal bracket. Any thoughts? Did this test unit have metal or plastic brackets?
I see a subscriber of the channel seems to be talking about this on the product page. Here is the offer sent to me. I think you have the optional mount. "I noticed you've placed an order for our C3 product. Please note that the standard configuration of the C3 comes with a plastic bracket. However, if you prefer a metal bracket, you can pay a difference of $19, and we'll send you the metal bracket"
@TheMissendenFlyer also Andy, the final checkout defaults to US $ This is an e-commerce issue. I queried it with Aoocci, and it should be billed in local currency.
This looks great. I ride a Indian scout which has a usb c power output on the speedo What power cable is required if I don’t want it hard wired Cheers 😊
Rats... ordered mine a couple of days before this came out! Duh! Brilliant bit of kit. All working great. Not found any instructions with it though. Anyone found out if the units date and time can be retained. Maybe permanent power from battery?
Good review, a couple of questions, how much does it drain your iPhone Battery if the phone's not plugged into power and is there a way of using it as a Digital Speedo?.
Not sure I can answer those with any degree of expertise - I have a new iPhone 16max pro with a big battery and I've never noticed it drain the battery significantly but I'm yet to use it for a full day. Guess if you had a speedo app that works with Apple Carplay then fine!
I have the Carpuride version. Works fine, but losses the bluetooth signal when the phone gets too hot. So cannot leave the phone in the tank bag but have to leave it on a bike mount, which sort of defeats the purpose.
There is a reason why full specs are not listed on the website like resolution or brightness of the screen, probably they are simply basic. The brighness of the screen on the recording done by TMF looked pretty dim...
Don’t quite understand the logic of these devices it’s only a copy of your phone so why not just clip your phone in a mount on the handlebars as I do. Am I missing something.
The vibration of the bike destroys the camera over time on the phone - at least that's what happenned to mine - a £1000 phone trashed thanks to vibrations through the handlebars. Not to menton the bigger screen is actually easier to use on the move than a phone...
Hi Andy, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve ordered mine with the metal mount. Can anybody give an indication of delivery time scale and will I get stiffed for import duty? Brgds
Folks: FYI the C3 comes with a plastic handlebar mount as standard, a metal ball mount like the one I have is available for an additional $19 (£15) if required.
Well Sadly my C9 hasn't turned up, lost in transit by EVRI. Let's see how good their customer service is!
@TheMissendenFlyer, hi can you explain the connections needed, you mentioned you have plugged it into your USB under the seat, I need to know if that's all required as I would use the tablet on two different bikes so need an easy option to move from one to another. Thanks

Just to other purchasers if thinking of buying for Christmas, the shipping time is 6-10 days (not TMF's fault) - I ordered mine on the 21/11/2024 and am still awaiting for it to be delivered to my home address on 29/11/2024, with the last tracking update saying it had arrived in the GB via international flight on 26/11/2024.
EDIT: Delivery update, has arrived today, 02/12/2024. Had a quick squint inside the box only, as it is a Christmas present (for myself), so have had to surrender it to the missus to wrap and place under the tree. Thanks again for the recommendation and review, TMF!
Yes good call-out - mine took around 2 weeks to come so need to get those orders in early for Christmas! Free shipping worldwide mind and no customs charges if having one delivered to the UK...
@@TheMissendenFlyer I've checked the link the price is coming up about £90.. is there a code or have I missed the offer. I do appreciate that I'm late to the party here
@@danmartin3881 If you add it to your basket the price comes down.
@danmartin - as Peter said, the discount gets added in the basket before you commit to buy...you have to add it though to see the discount.
@@TheMissendenFlyerJust ordered my xmas present off the kids, cheers Mr Flyer
Ordered one as I think it will be very handy, I enjoy your channel 👍
Hope you get on well with it! ...and thanks for watching!
Personally, I reuse my old smartphone for this duty - got it in a quadlock, and tether to my actual phone's data (kept in my jacket pocket), and run calimoto. Perrrrrrfect and gives my old tech a new lease of life
Fair enough....
@TheMissendenFlyer it wasn't a dig, I'm not on the bandwagon of bemoaning you promoting these things, I enjoy your content and understand you have to pay the bills - it was just another take on the whole bike nav kit is all
Sure thing - I didn't take it such, no problemo....
Had one for a few months now, here in Australia, works great and the best thing is you can move it from bike to bike,just need usb power. Simple usb socket from eBay wire up to battery and you’re good to go.
That's what I've done....
Interesting vid TMF. Got me thinking what I might get myself for Xmas as no one else will lol.
Exactly!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Ordered one. Good saving thanks.
Just over 76 quid with exchange rates from $ to £
Thanks for sharing this-definitely adding it to my wishlist!
Great video. I love having AA on my Goldwing. I use it all the time now! Wireless is best! Thanks, John😊
I agree - using it my Gold Wing is what converted me….
Hi Andy..juset received my shiny new Aoocci and very much looks the part. You mentioned on the vid that it works with many apps including Calimoto but it seems Calimoto can currently on work with carplay and not android..they are working on it but not there yet..merely fyi. Merry christmas to you and yours. Steve DK
Glad you received it in time for Christmas Steve, I don’t think I mentioned Calimoto it’s not something I ever use or endorse.
My apologies..I checked up and it was a different place I looked at a review for reference and that's where Calimoto was mentioned I believe :)
Superb, Wife agreed so just ordered mine... Will be ideal for our Black Forest Europe jolly in 2025, can't wait....Thanks Andy
No problem - hope you get on well with it…and enjoy your trip!
Hi Andy, Was looking at a quadlock, but saw this as a better solution. Hopefully it's as good as the reviews......... Bikes MotoGuzzi V7 Special and a 1998 VFR800..... Thanks for the discount. ;-)
No problem 👍
Thanks for the video - very useful. Unfortunately the link points to the AOOCCI page offering the C3 for around £94 not around £70. Any ideas?
You have to add it to your basket and then you'll see the discount applied just before you commit and hit "buy" - you just need to go further along the process a little...
@@TheMissendenFlyer Perfect - thanks for the quick response.
Looks like a great deal.
Question - as my bike lives outdoors in a carpark when I'm not riding it, can I remove this unit easily or is it wired in permanently? Excuse the ignorance but I've been googling for the last hour or so and can find nothing about whether it's removable or not.
You can remove it but you need to use a special tool (which they provide with the device) so it is a bit of a faff....not a "Quick Release" device....
@TheMissendenFlyer thanks.
Love the channel!--clicked on link, showing , with metal mount, £117?
Discount is applied a bit further in the process - you’ll see it before you commit to buy…
Thanks Andy. I'm in 👍
Seems like a sensible alternative to having your £800 phone attached to your bars! Is it quick/easy to attached and detach?
Easy but not that quick!
Just ordered one of these as hopefully easier to see than my phone screen. Also got birthday coming up so treating myself. Cheers Andy 👍
Happy birthday!
@TheMissendenFlyer thank you 😁
Hi Andy! Great offer! Just bought one!
Greetings from Peter.
Nice one Peter - hope you get on OK with it, mine has been great thus far.
Happy Christmas Andy 🎄
Same to you!
Thanks for the discount, I bought one and shared the link to friends and family 🎉😊😊
Cool!
Hey mate just received my aocci, can I ask you where did you get the mount you have ? The one supply is like a handlebar mount want one to go on the mount bar above the speedo on a Suzuki vstrom cheers
Bought a cheap version (£34) from that well known online retailer of Chinese tech. Toured Europe using it. It did occasionally 'drop out' whilst using it, though that may have been my phone to blame. On the whole, a useful and cheap navigation aid.
Who is the well-known online retailer of Chinese Tech? I don’t know it!
AliExpress
AliExpress
Aha - I have heard of that - thanks….
Nice unit, saw the review John did on a different model a while back. However this one does the job at a great stocking filling price.
Seasons Greetings!
Well exactly - at that price pretty much a no brainer I reckon….
Just ordered one for the Wife's Triumph Trident 660 for Christmas... if she hates it then I will say you told me to buy it :)
Fair play!
Hi, this looks fabulous TMF. Will the discount still be available in the new year when I'll be able to put it on my birthday hint list for the family... if you catch my drift 😊
Yes I think it will be there forever!
Morning Andy, Good to know this is the only Aoochi model that I can see with USB charging functionality. I have emailed them to see if they intend to have USB charging on the others like the C6 & C9. Also if they might do a direct to BMW nav mount like Carpuride & Chigee. Will let you know their reply.👍
Having emailed them they confirmed the C6 comes with USB connection but it's not recommended to use as it can give variable supply causing the unit to reset itself. I guess this down to the extra draw from the camera which the C3 does not have.
Hi Andy, thanks fir this. Quick question. Is it compatible with a 2020 R1250rs (purchased following yr recommendation. Would the wizzy wheel worlk etc?
Doesn’t work with the Wizwheel no, you would need the chigee (which I reviewed earlier) which is way more expensive for that.
Good value for money. I bought the Chigee which is a lot more expensive, albeit it does have cameras and (at additional cost) tyre pressure sensors. This should be pretty popular. Carplay linked up to a Cardo is brilliant.
Yes it is a great system (I have a Chigee on my GS - it's good but cost nearly 5 times as much)
Cheers TMF. Looks good 👍
At this rate we’ll be running out of handlebar real estate 😂 good review as always TMF 👍
P.S. 1:26 you need some blutack for that poor poster ✌️
Yes I thought that when I watched this back earlier.....
I bought an unbranded one from eBay two months ago. I agree Andy, it’s a no brainer and massively cheaper than a dedicated sat nav. I paid just £60 for mine.
Cool....
Bit baffled by this. So you have to bluetooth connect your phone to this device which you attach to your bars....why not just attach your phone to the bars with a quadlock and use that for navigation and avoid the 20 second boot up time and potential connection issues? What's the advantage here?
The vibration of the bike destroys the camera over time on the phone - at least that's what happenned to mine - a £1000 phone trashed thanks to vibrations through the handlebars. Not to menton the bigger screen is actually easier to use on the move than a phone..
As well as the vibration issue, I much preferto keep my phone safe in my pocket; also I like the reassurance that if i were to have an off out in the sticks and get hurt, my phone is with me rather than attached to the wreckage of my bike 25 yards away (if the phone is even still working...)
My phone is worth 5 times the price of a device with Android Auto and Apple Car Play
you'll cook the camera on your phone mate
Andy, ordered the unit, what is the best way to connect to helmet I am not that tecky and would love to make my phone hands free when riding you seem to be the man with the plan, keep up the good work
Intercom connects to phone, phone connects to unit....I think!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I kinda get that but is there a particular intercom that you would recommend that I could use for taking calls on phone while riding?
Ordered! Thank-you sir!,
No problemo - hope you get on well with it....
Thanks Andy - I've ordered one. Could I ask whether the mount shown on your bike in the vid is the one supplied with the unit, or if not what mount you are using?
Yes it comes supplied with the unit - as I said, amazing value!
Thanks very much for help with discount , easy to do , I’ve ordered one 😊😊. Can I ask what I should buy to fit on my bike as I don’t know what’s the best handlebars fitting to buy ?
It comes with all you need to fit it - a RAM mount type thing.....
Looks good. I got an autonevee unit from ali Express with tpms and front and rear cameras for £92 odd. For me, the simplicity of use is great. Has everything i want and need and replaced my standalone camera system (which also had tpms), which cost me over £100 more than my android auto unit. The only thing i would like is a separate remote for changing the camera views and locking files, but i can live without that. Had it on around 4 months now and not had any issues with it. Will be buying another one for my other bike and more for any other bikes i get.
Nice one
Not sure about the value of this unit. I have been using SYGIC maps on my iPhone for over 10 years. The phone is mounted over my bike dash so I can see it. It is plugged in via a USB cord, as using a GPS app on the phone will drain the battery very quickly. So my phone is an Apple unit, and I can switch apps while still listening to audio directions. So to add this means I still have to have the phone plugged in, as well as the CarPlay unit. I just don’t see the benefit.
Don't buy one then!
Did you use the supplied plastic clamps or did you get an upgrade to metal, I just had an email offering an upgrade for around £15
I have the metal one….
Andy, Ordered unit 8 days ago, still no sign any idea of waiting time, you do say gift for Christmas did you mean 2024 or 2025?
No idea I'm afraid Paul - I've had another comment on here saying his turned up today so maybe hang on or give them a chase - I'm afraid customer fulfilment is nowt to do with me!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Thanks for prompt reply here's hoping it arrives soon.
Order one two weeks ago getting dispatched next Monday I was told be email
@@patrickkeely6628 Would be nice if I had an email even...
@paulhill4457 My one got dispatch today.
Interesting, but, if you already have a Quadlock have you found there any advantages to the C3 over having a similar sized iPhone mounted on the bars?
Yes - you don’t destroy your phone camera like my quad lock did mine!!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Good point, but how did that happen?
Rode a motorbike with my phone mounted on the handlebars using a quadlock - 2 hours later the camera was toast. Very pissed off about it (still!)
@@TheMissendenFlyer Vibration?
Morning Andy, as far as I’m concerned it’s a case of C3? P.O.! (See what I did there?😋) I already have a quad lock anti vibration mount so I can just use my phone directly for navigation. As for playing music through headphones on the bike, personally I think it’s distracting and removes part of the motorcycling experience. I also have a Beeline unit I can use on either my Honda Dax or Kawasaki Eliminator. Each to their own though and some people will obviously feel differently about it. My Christmas present is a Goldtop Submariners merino wool sweater in Ecru in their Black Friday sale down from £120 to £102. Gorgeous, heavy weight, warm and beautifully made will keep me warm on and off the bike.😁
Nice - enjoy!
Order placed! Thanks Andy🙂
Hope you enjoy it!
What an excellent unit, and what a price. Unfortunately, my Christmas and New Years present was a new furnace and water heater. As we're getting 2-3 feet of snow in the next 5 days. I guess this was a better no brainer for me. Lol. 👍👍
Can you download third party apps to this?
I like to use CaliMoto navigation app on my iPhone - can this unit be used with and display Calimoto?
Yes - anything that is Apple CarPlay compatible can be used....
@ Thanks TMF 👍
I used the other link to get the other one , now awaiting delivery, new bike to fit it to next year Yamaha MT09 Y-AMT to replace my Honda NC700S, I have three bikes so I will do the same as you and make it swappable.
Thank you Mr. Flyer for the 'heads up' on a real bargain. I've just forwarded the video to my son and daughter in law.....you never know. As for the 'doomsters' amongst us, those of us who have got to 'know you' also know if it wasn't as good as advertised, you would also tell us.
Cheers Gary - I'm not saying it's perfect (screen could be a bit brighter, would be good if it had a "quick release" function) but for the money it is outstanding value! Good luck with your pressie quest....
Santa has treated me to one, but they are recommending I upgrade to the optional metal bracket. Any thoughts? Did this test unit have metal or plastic brackets?
Metal bracket with some plastic parts iirc
I see a subscriber of the channel seems to be talking about this on the product page. Here is the offer sent to me. I think you have the optional mount.
"I noticed you've placed an order for our C3 product. Please note that the standard configuration of the C3 comes with a plastic bracket. However, if you prefer a metal bracket, you can pay a difference of $19, and we'll send you the metal bracket"
Ah interesting - maybe they sent me that then? Thanks for pointing it out....(I'll double check with my contact there tomorrow).....
@TheMissendenFlyer also Andy, the final checkout defaults to US $
This is an e-commerce issue. I queried it with Aoocci, and it should be billed in local currency.
Waiting for mine to arrive
This looks great. I ride a Indian scout which has a usb c power output on the speedo
What power cable is required if I don’t want it hard wired
Cheers 😊
It comes with a hard wire harness or USB "A" connector so just plug into the bike and go (that's what I do)
@ cheers 👋
Rats... ordered mine a couple of days before this came out! Duh! Brilliant bit of kit. All working great. Not found any instructions with it though. Anyone found out if the units date and time can be retained. Maybe permanent power from battery?
Good review, a couple of questions, how much does it drain your iPhone Battery if the phone's not plugged into power and is there a way of using it as a Digital Speedo?.
Not sure I can answer those with any degree of expertise - I have a new iPhone 16max pro with a big battery and I've never noticed it drain the battery significantly but I'm yet to use it for a full day. Guess if you had a speedo app that works with Apple Carplay then fine!
I have the Carpuride version. Works fine, but losses the bluetooth signal when the phone gets too hot. So cannot leave the phone in the tank bag but have to leave it on a bike mount, which sort of defeats the purpose.
How strange! I’ve not had any issues thus far….
There is a reason why full specs are not listed on the website like resolution or brightness of the screen, probably they are simply basic. The brighness of the screen on the recording done by TMF looked pretty dim...
Yes it could be a bit brighter for sure - but for £70 I ain’t complaining!
Hi, for some reason when I select Paypal as the payment method it jumps to US Dollars fro Pounds Sterling??
Very strange…dunno what that’s about…
Don’t quite understand the logic of these devices it’s only a copy of your phone so why not just clip your phone in a mount on the handlebars as I do. Am I missing something.
The vibration of the bike destroys the camera over time on the phone - at least that's what happenned to mine - a £1000 phone trashed thanks to vibrations through the handlebars. Not to menton the bigger screen is actually easier to use on the move than a phone...
Exactly my thoughts.. and as it drains your phone battery you need to have your phone powered up whilst using it.. pointless imo.
Dont get one then Paul!
@@PaulTucker-yk4tz The phone uses less power as it doesn't have to power the display
Hi Andy, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve ordered mine with the metal mount. Can anybody give an indication of delivery time scale and will I get stiffed for import duty? Brgds
No import duty as far as I’m aware (don’t think it’s high enough value)…
