This is a great motorcycle accessory, especially for navigation. I ride an adventure bike, and navigation is critical for off-road riding. I'm on #2 because only a couple of weeks after my first purchase, my camera images turned green and digitized. Everything else on the screen was fine: maps, apps, and the like. At first, I thought it was the camera; turns out, after receiving my replacement from Amazon, it was actually the screen. I'm not sure how the screen separates images from the cameras and the CarPlay images, but it does. However it does it, the new setup has been flawless since.I connected the system directly to the battery. I felt that it would be better to keep water away from electric connections, vs. using the USB. With that said, I do not have an accessory fuse on my motorcycle. Mine is a basic setup, not the fabulous BMW GS, with all the bells and whistles. I have to turn the system on and off each time I ride. SOMETIMES, I can't figure out why, but it will turn on when I start the bike. I would say less than 1% of the time it will do this. Also, on rare occasions, the Bluetooth takes a while to connect to my phone. Generally, if I just leave it alone, it will eventually connect, but other times, I turn it off and back on to get it to clear up.If you ride a bike, as I do, that vibrates a lot, or you ride off-road, don't expect GoPro quality video. There is no image stabilization on these cameras. They are designed for safety, not travel videography. If you have an issue with another car, these cameras are adequate to capture the incident and show what happened.The SD card is in a little slot on the left side of the screen. Carpuride could have done a better job on placement/access for this SD card. There is no Bluetooth connectivity for the SD card unless you download a third-party app to remotely access video. I found these third-party apps require subscriptions. I'm not downloading video after every ride, so it's not worth it for me. The access panel for the SD card is held in place with VERY small screws that can easily be dropped when removing or inserting. Be careful because I doubt finding a replacement screw will be easy.Installation was easy; it connected to the battery without issues. If your bike has an accessory fuse, it might be worth the "add-a-fuse" option so you can get it to turn on automatically. As an adventure rider, I experience all kinds of conditions: rain, mud, sand, dust, gravel. My screen is mounted behind my windscreen, so that protects it well. However, all adventure riders experience motorcycle drops, and this system has done well with mine so far. A sand dump, easy. A rocky dump, no problem. A sudden rain storm, not to worry. A deep muddy swim-spill, didn't blink. Every inch of my bike was covered in water and/or mud after this one. The screen and the cameras didn't have an issue. I had to take my bike to the car wash after this incident, and the high-pressure water was not an issue.Overall, a great investment. I hope it continues to run this well.
