Not for me Paul, one of the reasons I like jumping in my 500 is the complete lack of touch screens & haptic buttons. Quite rightly can't use a phone but they're putting these things in cars, it's hypocritical beyond belief.
Wouldn't you think by now they'd integrate a dash cam into these devices as I doubt it'd cost them much more and greatly improve their appeal. Btw "Carpuride" sounds like Chinglish for Carpride.
This one doesn't have sat nav, but I believe they do them with it, however you can use whatever is on your phone. I always use Waze and having it on this nice big screen is much better than on your phone screen.
Looks good. Would be interested in seeing it permanently mounted and the wiring hidden in a fiat 500 so we can gauge if it looks good or a little garish for the old style dashboards.
I'm interested in your airbag light coming on. Does your car have a fault? Mine has the warning light too. Is there a known fault that can be fixed at home? Cheers John.
Apparently if your car has Bluetooth then you should buy the one without Bluetooth. If you car doesn’t have Bluetooth then you should buy the one with it. That’s what the lady at carpuride told me when they were deciding which one to send me.
I was told by Carpuride that the 701PLUS should allow it but I just need someone else to confirm. The 701pro def doesn't allow calls through car speakers, right? @@Love500
Doesn't have its own on this one although I think they do ones with Sat Nav built in, but the joy of this like the android head units is you can use whatever is on your phone, be it Waze (my favourite), Google maps etc etc.

They do have models with a dashcam. I guess it keeps the price down for those that don’t want one.
Seems like a major safety issue to have this in your line of view
It's not in your line of view unless you are very vertically challenged.
OK, got ya! Maybe it was the angle you shot the video from @@Love500
Likie …has it got sat nav ? ….and is “Lighthouse Family “ pre programmed? …Like the possibility of built in camera to protect against “accident fraud”

I'll be doing just that in the Blue 500 Colour Therapy
Excellent, looking forward to that video 👍👏
Does it not obstruct view from windscreen ?
No not at all.

There is no drivers airbag on the steering wheel. That's the only reason the airbag light is on. You need diagnostics to find out why yours is on.
Hi Paul, have you worked out the best route for the power lead now? (Asking for a friend) 😊
Not yet as it’s going in the blue car which is on the back burner at the moment. I’m thinking maybe through the air vent.
will your phone calls come through the car speakers when using CarPlay ? i hear that's only possible on the 701PLUS ?

This would be ideal in my pop! Was also wondering if it transmits sat nav from iPhone or has its own.
