I bought the W502 5" version, and it is brilliant. Did full review on it as they also sent it to me. No regrets, no issues, bright in sunlight, smooth scolling, works with gloves, and just does work. Recommended.
Good Day, US subscriber here, I recently purchased the W702B with BMW adapter for my 2023 BMW R1250GS Triple Black. I am very happy with the unit features and connectivity. I am an Android user, sorry know of your aversion to Android and reliance on the lemming community of iPhone (kidding lol), and I connect my phone to the W702B via WiFi and connect my phone to the bike via Bluetooth. I also connect my helmet Sena to the bike. This gives me control of the phone via the whizzy-wheel, including media and phone functions. Sena control features remain usable, and the W702B can also be used to control audio features as well. Seems like the best of both worlds to me. Thanks for another great video. Cheers from the US.
Did I hear that right? Phone to w702 via WiFi. Phone & sena to bike via Bluetooth.... So in this setup, are you saying you can use the media (track change, pause etc) function via the bmw wonder wheel & also via w702?
That is correct, best of both worlds.
Just bought the smaller 5.5” display (simply because it fits better) so good to see your review and use of it after a few weeks 👍
I have the 502 unit, overall it works great, only quibble, it eats up my phone battery but luckily I have a usb point on my bike, but not everyone will, so that is something to be aware of...great video chaps....
The advantage of this unit over a purpose built unit like Tom Tom or Garmin is that I can upgrade the processor driving the mapping when i upgrade my phone. Also I can use any app I like rather than being locked in to a single supplier. My brother has a TomTom, the screen is small and the processor is very slow painting the display. I already fitted a high quality USB extension from under the seat to the handlebars and using this I have had no problems with power to the display. Finally with CarPlay when the unit powers on, say after filling the tank, it jumps right back to the mapping app I have left open on my phone. Also the unit is bright enough to see in strong sunlight.
I found it rubbish, kept dropping connection and just went haywire when you tried to input a route. I asked to return it within the 30 day period, but they threatened me with custom charges. They made me a much less cash offer instead. Avoid like the plague, you might live to regret it
Cześć, nosze się z zamiarem zwrotu, jak możesz to napisz co Ci zaproponowali, jaką ofertę dostałeś ?
Would liked to have seen it mounted on Mark's GSA, as I have just bought one for £170.00 for my GSA. Would want to see on GSA how much of the tft is obscured 🐾🐾
The satnav guys are going to have to rethink their prices now. I bought the Ottocast £170, where can I get a decent waterproof satnav for that price..
Best review on UA-cam by far and because of it I’ve just bought one for my GSA thank you 👍👍✌✌
Thanks so much for the comments buddy. Don’t forget to use the link to save a bit too!
Also have the 702B on my R1200R but maybe I should have gotten the 5inch screen as it scales better with the R bike.
However 10:40 the 7 is very nice to see the detailed map or split screen.
Thinking of getting the smaller version for my GS as I was worried about the 7inch one obscuring the TFT
That little blue spoon is for ice-cream for after you've finished putting it on the bike
Just bought the 502 bmw version , still waiting for it to be delivered ! A mountain of reviews on here generally saying it’s very good around 190 € I’ll let you know when it arrives 😮💨
Hi buddy. I have a question, when mounted on the BMW specific bracket, can the screen be equalized at different angles on the ball mount?
Nice video thank you. How robust is the cradle that slots into the BMW Nav Prep? Some of my biker buddies are saying its not very good quality but I havent see one myself yet.
It seems good although I had to tighten the screws to make it more rigid. Seems good
Interesting piece of kit. I suppose you could get one of those screen protectors to dull the glare?
Don’t worry about the glare, it rarely works
Going to sell my Nav 6 for this I reckon! Cheers for the review
Chigee are bringing out a stand alone version called the AIO5BMW which looks exactly like a sat nav and fits directly onto the BMW sat prep. Hopefully we will review one on release. Stay tuned :)
@@RiderCamTV who doesn’t love competition! Will keep an eye on the channel
Received my W702B today! Mount it on the original BMW bracket, everything worked perfect thanks to your tips and advices. The only concern I have is that it vibrates on the road and with the motorcycle engine. Any recommendations to improve this?
We took the bracket off and made sure the bolts were tight as they were a little lose on arrival. There’s no moving parts inside so shouldn’t be an issue. We’ve not had a problem so far :)
Niice video! Does it also fit at your 1200RT LC?
Yep although I have the Chigee mounted on there but it fits as it stand off enough to fit
Great post, however I don't see the point in this over a smart phone in a holder? OK you can use the "wiz wheel" to change things however whats wrong with just using the smart phone. You can use a smart phone on the bike or put it in your jacket pocket, the maps directions will work either way. If the phone says in 100 meters turn left and you can't follow those simple instructions use a MAP!
You can’t use the whiz wheel, but you can get one of these for £170 rather than £1500 for a new smart phone if anything happens to it.
Multiple issues with just using your phone.. other than poor glove support, poor visibility in sunlight, vibration risks on your camera, the thing that convinced me was .. what if I come off the bike, am lying injured and need to call someone urgently. Where is my phone?? 30m away hidden in the grass. No thanks, want it safe in my pocket.
Hi, whislt you have the Carpuride, PackTalk etc all connected and working, have you tried to connect another Cardo unit to your Cardo via Mesh. Curious, because I run Android and when I connect my wifes headset via mesh, I appear to loose voice connection from Andriod Auto, no navigation instructions, no music or voice control. Look forward to find out if you have tried it. Everththing worked OK when using the BMW TFT & Navigator 6 so I'm guessing its something to do with the Carpuride connections.
Not tried that as I don’t have anyone to connect to. Like my headspace. 🤣
@@RiderCamTV Ok, know what you mean, sometimes nice to be out without having to talk to anyone. Will let you know what Carpuride come back with. Enjoy watching your vlogs by yhe way.
I am an old fart and I`m not very technology savvy. I am looking at this unit or possibly a Garmin XT. Is there much of a learning curve with this? Are most of the Maps and apps free (with exception of the phone data)? I do not travel long distances and mostly need a unit primarily if I would get lost. I appreciate any guidance!
Car play is much easier than Garmin or Tom Tom
I got the W502B and the touch screen is really bad. I hope Carpuride respond . Cheers
Have you asked about their customer service support? Maybe they will respond.
Done
Just recieved my 503 model 5inch screen which it is not ! The actual screen part is like the old phones that don’t go to the edges so in actual fact it’s near 4 inch , Ive yet to try it on the road 🤷🏼♂️
Do not buy it my screen had gone bad and they wanted me to repair myself and I was not happy with that and then they offered to send me a new unit at the cost of $30 I said no and want a refund, they threaten me by saying it would cost me to send it back and only offered me $60 from $175 not impressed at all so I’ll bin it and get the interphone ridesync instead as I know the Italians will honour the warranty.
Chigee or Carpuride Toby
Both are great. Chigee for build quality but then it’s a little more expensive.
