Carpuride w502b Motorcycle Carplay Screen for BMW R1200GS R1250GS S1000XR Motorcycle, 5 inch Waterproof Touchscreen, Portable Carplay/Android Auto GPS Navigation for Motorbike, Dual Bluetooth

I'm very happy with it, for the price point. I like that everything links right up and works very simply around town (maps, spotify automatically work through my headset when I fire up my bike). Since I have always used my phone for backcountry travel, I have apps that function outside cell service and I always download my maps before setting off. If you are not used to downloading maps and using apps that can access GPS without cell service, you may find this unit limiting. I don't think that is the unit's fault. You can spend 2x or 3x and get something a bit more seamless, but I think the slight difference between "around town" and "middle of nowhere" riding is not an issue. If you're riding hundreds of miles away from cell coverage and civilization, you are probably used to proper planning and preparation, so having to use some app other than the go-to map apps probably isn't a big deal. Please note, this unit works great outside of cell service, you just have to know what you're doing.I feel like all the options out there now fall into three categories: Solid GPS with no carplay (inconvenient), Cheap carplay systems (require planning when you lose cell service), and great hybrid systems (cost an arm and a leg). This is a cheap carplay unit, but I think with a few good backcountry apps and a sliver of planning, it is great.I machined a custom mount for mine (I bought it with the BMW adapter, since I have considered putting a BMW cradle on my bikes). As a note, the unit uses the mount as a heat sink. When you remove it, you will see the processor and a piece of thermal transfer foam. I feel like the stock mount was not ideal for wicking away heat, so I added heat sink fins to my mount. In its stock form, I might be a little concerned about heat in the middle of summer moving slowly through the desert in 110 degree heat. It got warm (not hot) just sitting in my 65 degree shop after a couple of minutes not even transferring audio or navigating. I may be overreacting, but if you are swapping out mounts, it may be something to consider.I love the size options, too. The 5" fits my setup perfectly. I don't want to feel like I have a giant tablet strapped to my bike that does occasionally get dumped in a sand pit.

I purchased the Carpuride to use on my BMW motorcycle, and I must say I’m absolutely thrilled with this device. It fits perfectly on the motorcycle’s GPS mount, making it extremely functional and easy to install.The Carpuride’s design is sleek and modern, giving it an impressive look when mounted on the bike. It looks like an original factory accessory, blending in so seamlessly that it’s hard to imagine the motorcycle without it.The screen resolution is excellent, making it easy to view in all types of conditions. Additionally, the device works smoothly and reliably, enhancing the riding experience by providing easy access to the features I need.As for the price, it’s an affordable solution and totally worth it for the quality and performance it delivers. I highly recommend this purchase for any BMW motorcycle owner looking for a versatile and high-quality GPS device.

Only time will tell on reliability, bikes in winter storage only used handful of times but my IPhone connects wirelessly by itself every time, it takes a solid 3-4 minutes but it does connect! The screen is OK. It’s not bad, not Great. Wish it was a 2k screen instead of a 720p/1080p screen. The brightness is the same. It’s very bright in the evening and just barely bright in the afternoon. Overall 3/5. The screen works even with gloves, although most gloves are touch screen capacitive so I have not tested with off brand or 100% leather gloves.Give it a 4/5 because the connectivity really does work well with IPhone, and it looks exactly like the CarPlay on my Honda car, essentially Turing my 13 year old motorcycle into a 2 year old one tech wise ha-ha

I have a 2024 BMW F900GS Adventure and I bought this with the dedicated mount. Mounting was easy and tidy. Theoretically you could keep your phone hidden away while you use this but due to the recycle rate on the maps, your phone will overheat if it’s not exposed to cooling air. I keep my phone mounted to the bike behind my wind screen under the Carpuride with an Quadlock and it works fine. With that said, you cant use your phone and the Carpuride at the same time. A sun visor over the top and sides would be a great improvement. The display disappears in direct or near direct sunlight. I’m happy with it, but it took some adjustment and there is a bit of a learning curve. I have about 6000 miles of distance touring on it and it has bettered my experience. The price was commensurate with the product and function.

Forget the other GPS nav for your motorcycle. This is the way to go. 7 in screen is really great...makes everything bigger. Easy to install on the GS1250 nav holder, and it seemlessly integrated very well. You can get another version from carpuride that works with wonder wheel, but touchscreen is faster for me.Ps...for better audio, connect your phone to the carpuride and also your listening device like Sena. Don't use the audio emitter from carpuride.

Entire unit departed the mount halfway up the last switchback on Engineer Pass. Smashed to bits in the rocks. If all you do on your GS is ride to Starbucks, this is the one for you. If you ride the “gelande” as much as the “strasse”, it’s garbage. Should come with the disclaimer “not for Offroad use”.

Incredible upgrade to a10 year old BMW. NO REGRETS

The Capurride bracket for BMW is weak and will break. I ordered 2 for my 2 BMWs. I remedied a new bracket. If you do any offroading the cheap plastic tabs will break and your Carpurride will hopefully fall in your lap. Apart from that it works great.
