Carpuride W502 5" for Motorcycle Apple Carplay/Android Auto

I finally decided to upgrade my bike with the Carpuride W702, and I'm so glad I did. The 7-inch touchscreen is bright and clear, even on sunny days, and it’s responsive enough to use with my riding gloves on. Connecting my phone for wireless CarPlay was super easy—it pairs automatically every time I turn the bike on. I really like the dual Bluetooth feature, which lets me listen to music and hear navigation directions through my helmet headset while the phone stays safely in my pocket. The waterproof (IP67) build gives me peace of mind when I get caught in the rain. Installation was straightforward, and the mount feels solid. Highly recommended for any rider who wants modern navigation without buying a new bike!

Player , I had purchased the w701 i liked it so much.I bought one for my old truck just larger and the w901 had a new car mount which was perfect and placed the screen at dash lever instead of above the dash. Excellent unit well worth the price and as with the w701 the wireless is better than my new car which randomly disconnects.. highly recommended

***UPDATE 9/25 *** Upgraded to 4 stars based on Carpuride responsiveness and customer service. Carpuride also says that they will work to fix all issues in the future. Also, corrected some original minor errors. *** The unit itself is a 7” CarPlay screen that works as advertised. It does rotate orientation, which is nice. However, a lot of things to know about before considering. For reference, I installed it on a Harley Softail Heritage Classic 2007. 1. MOUNTING: the unit comes with a RAM-style ball mount on the rear of the device + another ball mount for the handlebar. You need to buy the linkage. However, I have no room on my handlebars to mount this in a reasonable location. Both balls are affixed to their respective attachments with proprietary connectors and cannot be swapped out in any easy way (the back plate of the 712 is not a standard RAM/plate size, and the ball itself has a proprietary attachment). The RAM ball they use is rougher than aftermarket RAM balls, and possibly slightly different in size by 1-2mm. I found that, for every aftermarket RAM mount for the bike, tightening the linkage enough to hold both balls in place results in the ball on the device being un-movable without loosening the connection — cannot be done while stopped at a light for example. However, I finally settled on a genuine RAM mount, and it works better (not ideally, but better). 2. NO THEFT PROTECTION: well, nothing beyond ordinary screws. The ball on the back of the unit is held on by 4 small phillips head screws. Yes, the thief would need to find a new mounting plate, but the unit will detach from whatever it is attached to completely after removing these 4 screws. The included handlebar mount attaches with a standard size hex bolt, which can be unscrewed if someone has an Allan wrench (unless you are very certain, and use red Loktite). You can buy a RAM linkage that has some theft deterrent properties, but standard linkages can be unscrewed by hand, and need to be if adjustment is important. There are 4 wire connections to the unit, so if your thought was to take it off the bike, you have 4 connections to undo/redo every time. There is no locking mount available that would build in the connections. 3. INSTALL DIRECTIONS: I had my mechanic install the power and rear camera wiring from the instructions while the bike was in the shop. Instructions say to hook the power to the battery+ and ground, and the red power line connector has a spade lug, indicating that B+ is supposed to be the attachment point. THINK CAREFULLY here. The unit can be turned off, it turns out, by holding a button on the handlebar controller down. But if you hook to battery power as the instructions say you will have to manually turn on/off every ride. You should almost certainly cut the lug off the red wire and tap into *accessory* power instead, so that the unit goes on/off with the bike. 4. CAMERAS: it comes with a front and rear camera and will record a loop until it fills the installed card. The camera mounts appear designed for a car, not a motorcycle: they have a flat base with adhesive. There are no mounting holes in the bases, and the ring attaching the camera to the base is non-standard (not a GoPro or car camera mount). If you try to rig it up to mount vertically (say, to the license plate), you will discover that the mount just barely does not allow the camera to point straight ahead (picture below). I ended up having to design and make a mount for my license plate. I have not found a way to mount the front camera yet. Camera quality is fine, but it would have been amazing if they included software for anti-shake to correct for the bike’s vibration. 5. CONTROLLER: it comes with a wired controller to switch between camera views, answer calls, etc. It’s designed as a grip mount, but it doesn’t come close to fitting around my grips. YMMV. I would prefer a Bluetooth controller, even if I needed to replace a battery once a year. 6. USAGE, ROTATION: the rotation function works and is one of the reasons to buy this unit. It requires about a several second reset of the machine and a manual process (does not automatically recognize orientation). You can only rotate it 90 counterclockwise, which you have to remember, but also, the issue here is the cords. The pigtails attach at the lower right hand side of the unit. If the unit rotated clockwise they would still be at the lower left-ish of the unit, and closer to whereever the wires come out of. By rotating counter-clockwise, you will need several additional inches of slack in all 4 cords that are just lying around when not rotated. Also, the cords are not long enough to hide the connectors either before or after rotation — makes the install look less clean. 7. USAGE, BRIGHTNESS: the screen has an “auto brightness” feature that is acceptable. The screen is very bright and readable even in daylight/high noon. However, it tends to choose to be too bright at night. You can control it manually, but this is not incredibly convenient. OVERALL: it works well as a CarPlay screen, the screen is reasonably responsive (not laggy), and it’s readable in daylight. Customer service has been responsive and very good in helping with the issues. I will continue to update as I use it more and hear more about potential fixes.

Screen is responsive and I'm glad I got it. If they fixed the following issues, this would be perfect. Dash Cam Settings: the time and date have to be set manually. The system is designed to be used with a smartphone, why wouldn't you have the date and time sync with the phone? Not that big an issue if you tie into the battery and use the bar mount remote to turn on/off the unit. But they didn't include a switched accessories line, so you have to hook main power to an accessory line for auto on/off with the key; doing it this way, the date and time reset after three or four days of non-use. Android Auto Day/Night Settings: When set to automatic the screen never switches to night mode. It doesn't switch when the phone switches, confirmed on my truck system, it switches when the headlights turn on. So I'm wondering why they didn't least tie this into the sensor that controls screen brightness. Day maps are too bright for night, and night maps are too dark for day. I didn't discover these issues in time, if I had, I would return it and buy a brand that put a little more forethought in the end-user experience. New development, 6 months after purchasing, the unit crashes to dashboard the reloads Android Auto about every 15 seconds. It has become totally useless.

Incredible and big screen, ease of use and great brigh

Excelente producto

Update: 20 March 2024. Figured out the issue.... apparently I don't read instructions very well. The unit works fine when setup correctly, so this was all user error. The sound quality is great and I'm very happy with the unit. Also, Customer Service reached out to me to help, but I had figured out what I was doing wrong by then. Changing my rating to 5 stars. Purchased and received last week. I'm trying to use it with my helmet communicator head set and cannot connect audio through the Carpuride. I can start off with my phone connected to my headset enjoying my music but as soon as Android Auto connects and the GPS screen comes on, the headset disconnects and no more sound. The track being played displays on the Carpuride screen but absolutely no sound in the helmet. This is absolutely no good, I need my music! I've reached out to Carpuride customer service but have not heard back from them yet. If I can't resolve the issue I'm going to return the unit.

This Apple Play screen is a game-changer for your motorcycle! It connects seamlessly, and the screen brightness is decent. It takes the hassle out of navigating, making your rides stress-free. I haven’t attached the cameras yet, but for the directions, it’s fantastic on my Kawasaki Eliminator SE. I connected it directly to the USB outlet on the bike, which made the installation super easy. Didn't have to fumble with the battery! It looks more like an actual device that came with the bike. You have to try a few screen placement options to see where to put it without hindering access to the ignition as well as the gas tank.

Problemas de CONECTIVIDAD resuelto. Resulta que se me desconectava constantemente el carpuride de mi celular y el problema no era del aparato, sino del celular. Mi celular se desconectava del WiFi del carpuride para buscar otra red con acceso a Internet. La solución fue salir de la casa a una distancia lejos de la red WiFi doméstica, desactivar mi WiFi de celular, volver a activar el WiFi y conectarme nuevamente al carpuride, asunto arreglado. No se si pase igual con otros celulares pero con el mío fue la solución.

Hola ,por q mi.carpuride no le agarra el táctil

Muy fácil de instalar, lo puedes hacer sin necesidad de ningún Taller. Muy intuitivo, inmediatamente se conecta con tu teléfono, la pantalla muy brillante, muy rápida la conexión entre este CarPlay y tu teléfono. Me gusta que es un sistema espejo, no es un GPS, simplemente replica lo que tu teléfono tiene así que recibes mensajes, ves tu música, puede ser llamadas, etc. si tienes iPhone es compatible con Siri. Muy recomendable y muy buen precio

Se la compré a mi Kawasaki KLR 650 y funciona bien. Me sorprendió la pantalla, se mueve bien incluso con guantes para la moto. Le pongo 4 estrellas ya que no me vino el conector usb y en varios comentarios dicen que sí viene incluido. En mi caso no, y lo tuve que conectar a la batería de la moto.

Entendi que lo ideal es traer el celular cerca o contigo para en caso de caida o derrape puedas acceder a el si la moto quedo retirada, este complemento lo cumple y ayuda para eso, en sus funciones puedo ver los mapas ya sea waze o google maps, tengo en la misma pantalla el control de spotify, ojo no del volumen solo de pausar y cambiar canciones y un acceso rapido a notificaciones de whatsapp como un android auto. Tal vez mi unico pero es que no tiene una minibateria para mantenerse encendido, prendo la moto y arranca de nuevo y otro pero es que se adueña de la salida de sonido, si o si con lo que escuches tiene que enlazarse al carpuride y a veces pierde el contacto.
