The Ottocast instructions you scan a QR Code. The pdf was in Chinese so in typical Piss Take fashion I winged trying to explain this device. It works and was budget friendly as a gps option. I like the android auto feature.
Did you see a slot for nano sim but closed what’s that for . Also compared to previous model it’s not anti theft casing . It will not be practical leaving on bike on public area possible theft. Wonder how did you connect battery to cable provided. Can you draw the wiring if possible. Especially ground to where . Also how to get a spare cable . Is this the provided properitery male/female connection for use on rainy day and type c can be used on sunny day. While in type c it used to auto power on . Did the battery connect need to manually power on . Does it come with any converter😊 24 to 12 or something. I see only a fuse in between not sure it can handle all bike battery of 13v
Ordered a C5 lite lookalike off Amazon. Excited to see how it works. If it can just display google maps and let me control my audio crap then it's a winner. As I understand. AA and Carplay wireless use bluetooth in order to negotiate a wifi direct connection and then does not necessarily need to use bluetooth which allows you to pair your headset directly to the phone. This is how it works with the AA retrofit I did in my car. AA works over wifi and my phone still bluetooths to the factory head unit. Not sure what that emit BT button does. If it means the C5 acts as middleman for your phone and headset I think that's not what you'd want to use. Definitely want your headset to connect directly to your phone.
A call out to everyone out there. I think you didn't mention this but I just got my C5 SE and realized that the touchscreen is capacitive so it does NOT work with gloves (unless you have touch enabled tips). It really sucks that a product developed for motorcycles is not suited for gloves...
I'll be honest for the price point it doesn't worry me as I set the destination before I leave and while in motion not going to be trying to press the screen while riding. With Bluetooth can you answer incoming calls on headset?
@@PissTakeProduction true but if you want to make a call while riding, or change music (something I can and usually do in my BMW wheel) is not going to happen unless your gloves are with touch tips... and if I pair the headset to the Ottocast then I loose that. To your question, II suppose yes but I haven't tried yet. I haven't installed it as I'm waiting for a plug to have the Ottocast only turner ON when the ignition is ON and not wire directly to the battery.
@@pmjcr hi thanks for your response. I also bought the unit from their website but you've talked about a Plug that would only turn the unit ON when the ignition is ON. Did you receive this plug from them ? and could you send me link to this plug ?
I just installed this on my Ducati. It all connects okay but I noticed that I connect my phone to the unit but my Cardo to my phone. Which is different to the Lite C5 unit. But then once all connected I use the C5SE to control the music on my phone. The phone and unit thru WiFi connection and the Cardo thru Bluetooth. Once I get it out on the road, out of my homes WiFi range I will have to see if it stays with those connections. I did not run the solid wiring as I am going to sell the Ducati so staying with the USB-C connection. I will go out for a ride in a few days and see how it all goes. I did look at the Lite C5 but it would have been near $100 more. I got the C5 SE at the discount price. I have been using a Tom Tom for navigation but liked this one batter as it has the full Car Play facility.
Yer I've only ridden it for the video. It can power on if not turned off properly. My bike sits on a trickle charger so I'm not worried about a flat battery. Yer I like the car play feature too. As for Cardo on the bucket list of items to get unfortunately that has to wait for me. Thanks for the comment appreciated 👍.
Moving back to Brisbane, Australia after I retire next March. Leaving my V4S Multi and am looking at the CF-Moto 800MT with all the bags etc.170HP down to 95HP. :( Oh well. But I can have a lot of fun here in Los Angeles with the 170Hp. 80MPH going to work on the freeways, way too much fun up in the twisties in the mountains, 75 in posted 50 zones. Dragging pegs, no cops, no radar, way too much fun. But I know that I can't ride like that back in Brisbane so 95HP will be enough. That's the hardest thing for me when I visit is to remember to slow down. I picked the 800MT Touring as I think it's a great deal, good motor, great features. Where abouts did you do you video? @@PissTakeProduction
@@JohnHorn-z8h That CFMoto on release they offered the panniers etc for about $11K was a great deal. Ducati great bikes if you look down at past videos I had a Ducati Sportclassic. Sydney for videos with plans to do the two trips on a DRZ for Cape and Simpson.
Ottocast is an import company. All it does is take a Chinese product, kind of brand it and sell it at a 200% profit. Just browse the known Chinese shops and save yourself at least half the money. Don’t look for the brand, look for the product. I’ve ordered mine there and it is exactly the same
I just had a company contact me and sending me a new unit to make a video. Yes the Ottocast still works but the new one different brand looks good too. Just waiting on delivery and video will be made. Regards Paz.
Saw a lot of reviews on this nobody is saying about how it functions when you are connected to Ottocast and Cardo/Sena headsets in DMC mode at the same time...does it let you talk to other riders when you are also connected to this device.
The QR code I scanned on the box gave me a Chinese pdf. I don't have a Bluetooth headset as said in the video but you would be able to take calls and listen to music via Carplay.
It does connect with DMC. However, my setup was Cardo connected to my phone then phone connected to Ottocast. I haven't tried connecting Cardo to the Ottocast unit's BT.
After riding it has a red light showing power still connected. I hold it down after 10sec and it turns the unit off completely. When at home I always use a trickle charge to keep my battery topped up. I've have had the unit on the bike this entire time with no problem.
@@PissTakeProduction thanks for the reply. For some reason I got the unit with the cameras. Im considering cutting the cables off as it seems pointless to have the cameras. Cheers mate.
Believe from the website photos the SE is a square edged more modern looking unit. The C5 lite has a rounded shape. I asked a question direct to ottocast about the SE and had a reply that the SE comes with all the same connectors as pictured with the Lite
@@PissTakeProduction I don’t mention this. CarPlay switch off itself on the road suddenly.its have lots of problem on the software. Google maps or screen goes dark suddenly.wifi or Bluetooth disconnects sometimes never reconnect again. No response from ottocast about the question.and we try on the brandname products.both of them are not working properly.

Nice. There's a removable version too on a cradle with RAM mounts included.
Yep 👍 few buckeroos extra.
Great video champ
Just ordered mine, curious to see how well it works. Good review!
Works great so far 👍 good value too. Thanks for the feedback.

Good tip. Do you know the brand name or original company?
nice video.. does ur come with camera?
They have options where it's an add on and you pay the extra for the cameras.
Also check out chigee aio-5
Crikey mate! If your phone goes out, willy-nilly, that unit will not work either!
Don't be a Karen and get offended by a free video.
Thinking about getting one, yours still going ok? Prolly make my own mount as have a Rally tower.
I just had a company contact me and sending me a new unit to make a video. Yes the Ottocast still works but the new one different brand looks good too. Just waiting on delivery and video will be made. Regards Paz.
Great video !..... This Ottocast device is compatible with Quadlock supports/arms?
Thanks. I used the Quadlock internal rubber ring to fix it on the Suzuki bar.

Would you know how to upgrade the firmware?
I had a look to see if I could hack it but it's a closed system.
How does it handle heat from the sun and how is the daylight visibility on a sunny day?
I'll let ya know in 3-4 months when summer hits like a mofo
How does it turn off as it is direct connected to battery, will it not drain your battery after a while?
After riding it has a red light showing power still connected. I hold it down after 10sec and it turns the unit off completely. When at home I always use a trickle charge to keep my battery topped up. I've have had the unit on the bike this entire time with no problem.
I'm reviewing a new unit this week. So a new updated version from another company which has been sent to me.
Thanks, I was not holding the power button long enough@@PissTakeProduction
Hi there. Just got one. Red light on side of unit is flashing red…any idea?
I never saw it flash red. Was on and turned off when I turned the unit off after every ride.
@@PissTakeProduction thanks for the reply. For some reason I got the unit with the cameras. Im considering cutting the cables off as it seems pointless to have the cameras. Cheers mate.
Anybody know what the difference is between the SE and the C5 Lite?
The SE detaches from the cradle as where the lite is fixed.
Believe from the website photos the SE is a square edged more modern looking unit. The C5 lite has a rounded shape. I asked a question direct to ottocast about the SE and had a reply that the SE comes with all the same connectors as pictured with the Lite
The other one has a removable cradle and RAM mounts.
👌
This model has a camera and a pressure gauge. Did you install it too?
Just the stock unit unfortunately don't know how those features work.
Can the device record when use carplay?
Not that I know of. Lots of stuff written on the box was not correct. Unless there's some firmware update that adds those features.
Does this unit have an adapter to mount to the standard AMPS 4 hole system?
Only has the power supply to the battery and USB-C.
