I have a 1250GS and the 7" works great for me. All you have to do is tilt the GPS mount slightly. No blocked view, and it stays pretty firmly in place with the BMW adapter. I prefer the bigger screen because it's easier to control and also easier to read (aging eyes, lol).
I got the 7 inch with BMW bracket but for my naked bike (2017 R-200r) the 5 may have been better aesthetically but do like the larger screen especially when using in split mode. Like you the cardo voice commands minimizes the need for touching the screen.
They are selling the 702B with a cradle adaptor on Amazon now. Will find out in a couple of days how it all works. But thanks for the video. I got a huge savings on the NAV6 when I bought my bike but have never been fully satisfied with it. I mean it works but linking it with my helmet, I had issues. I couldn’t link my phone to the helmet and the bike. Had to link my phone with the bike only only and link the bike to the helmet. Wondering how this will work now as I will have to link the phone with this unit and don’t know if they will fight between the bike and this unit. Oh well. Lots of testing I guess. It seems I really won’t need to link to the bike if I have this but I liked using the wiz wheel to make calls. We shall see.
It looks good! Shame that the mount doesn't sit it neatly inside the BMW cradle. With that gap it is just so easy for someone to get their fingers around it and rip it from the cradle. Pity someone doesn't make a standalone GPS screen that would fit nicely and not need a phone connection. I have got the latest CRN1 but it is crap!
Instead of the BMW cradle, I drew my own holder and printed it out on the 3D printer. This means that the 702 is even closer to the bracket than the BMW navigator in the cradle and doesn't cover a millimetre of the dashboard. And it turns out that I can also raise and lower the windscreen as normal
@@cyclingbikerwholovestotinker No, with the cradle it couldn't be closer to the bracket than the BMW Navigator 😉 It's connected to the original power connector for the sat nav, that's a 10 minute job
I bought one some time ago and put it on my 1250 RS but could never get it to stay connected after I stopped the bike. It would go back to zero and only connect intermittently at best. I just updated the firmware of the unit so after connecting to everything is seems to be ok. I have shut off the bike so I will let you know if it remembers the connection this time.
I wish they could get rid of the huge bezels on the 5 inch to make it even smaller - and slimmer would also be nice. Because the current 5 inch model still looks super bulky classic bikes.
Do you happen to know if it's true that the W502 and the W702 have different processors? I have heard from other reviews that the W502 had a bit of an input lag.
Thank you for the information. I have the W702 on my R1250GS wth a PackTalk Edge. Works great until I hook up with a friend on the Cardo mesh and then I loose all audio from CarPlay. Leave the mesh intercom and audio comes back. Any ideas?
Not sure, can you make a 2nd bluetooth pairing of your headset to the phone...with the main pairing being the mesh protocol? Packtalk support are pretty good at answering questions etc.
Basically brings apple CarPlay to your bike. Zumo XT £360, Zumoi xt2 £500+, w502 cheaper . Reliability.......time will tell TBH, but Carpuride have been selling units for cars and vans for a number of years now.
Nice review as always thanks. I am looking to add either a Chigee or Carpuride to my 1250 RT but have limited mounting options because of the bar shape. Does anyone know if there is a bracket that would fit above the RT TFT?
Hi Paul thx for your great video. Just one question. I’m riding with “horse riding gloves” which are not touchscreen capable. Will I be able to use it with my gloves or do I need touchscreen able gloves? Thx for your help 🙏🙏
Hi, some folks claim they have had no issues with non touchscreen gloves....I am a bit dubious about that myself! All I can say is try it. you may be lucky. If not maybe you needed a new pair of gloves anyway!!!
Great video mate! I have the 5" on my R1300GS and it's plenty big. Can't imagine how obstructive the 7" would be. It works great, use Cardo in my helemt for a bunch of music functions and even Siri for maps, calls, etc. For a couple hundred bucks, can't ask for more.
great video review as usual Paul, I'm running the 5" with BMW mount, personally I think this is large enough, and it doesn't obscure the bike TFT screen too much, which I think would be the case using the 7", but each to there own, and as you rightfully say these units are a game changer, as long as you remember to charge or keep you phone hooked up to a power supply it works perfectly and doesn't cost an arm and a leg ;-)
Thanks for the good review but I can't for the life of me see why this is any better than just mounting your smartphone directly on the cradle especially since most of us have 6"+ screens anyway. If it did something special like worked with the wonder wheel then I can see it's use but you are still having to prod a touchscreen. All that and you will have to find somewhere else to charge your phone when instead it could be charged while in the cradle. What am. I missing?
@@warnom Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your phone is being shaken about as much in your pocket or panniers as it is in a cradle 😢. Especially so if a cradle has built in shock absorbtion. Of course the answer is a cheap phone.
I returned my 502B. It didn't work well with my gloves even though they all have touchscreen fingertips and work with my phone. Not sure if they have updated the firmware, but it was a showstopper for me about a month or two ago.
I have to say the 7 inch screen is way too big. And I'm not a fan of the adapter it may be more convenient to pull the screen on and off but it is not as sturdy as mounting it directly to the mounting bar. I ended up getting a chigee unit with the cameras. It comes with a perfect mounting bracket for the GS. Quite happy with the set up. I will never go back to a CarPlay only unit.
A great comparison of both units, I had a 7 inch CarPlay unit on my Tenere World Raid and it was great, but it only just fitted without obstructing the dash,I think if you just mounted the 7 inch Carpuride directly to the Nav bar I think it would work much better. I have just ordered the Chigee A05 Lite for my new Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX thanks to you.
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?
Hi, good review thanks. Did you also tested with Android Auto and does Voice Control work while using a Bluetooth headset? Because, Chigee does not, yet. (Chigee days thet are working on it though)
Hi, just got mine today. Eager to fit it off I went into the garage. As this is the one for the GS I thought this would be easy. Oh how wrong was I. Hooked it up on the sat nav bracket and boom. Not working. So held in the power button for over a minute still not working. Yes bike was switched on. So I thought I’d just check it with the usb cable. And not working. So I switched to the other gsa. And it didn’t work on that either. So disappointed. I have contacted Support so we shall see what they say. Hopefully it’s an easy fix or it will have to go back for another.
Just unscrew the back and see if you have the magnet in the back as per my video. Mine didn't have the magnet , bought a stack of small strong ones from amazon, I can use the others on my garage metal racks for securing bits too, so wont go to waste. Works fine now with the magnet installed.
Hi, yes I believe it does. Here's the link it shows what's included. carpuride.com/collections/motorcycle-carplay-and-android-auto/products/carpuride-w702b-wireless-portable-motorcycle-stereo-with-bmw-motorcycles-bracket
Yes I believe you can, as you still get the power leads to connect to the battery if needed and then you also get the adapter plate which then gets the power from the bmw cradle mount , thereby making it no longer necessary to have the leads connected to the battery .
I'm using the ConnectedRide Cradle and phone app at the moment which is fine but puts phone at risk, so looking for an alternative. Biker mates are telling me the Carpuride BMW bracket isnt very robust - do you agree? Chigee are bringing out a 5' AIO Play BMW Edition in July/August - this looks like it will slot straight into the Nav Prep and be fully integrated with the Whizzy Wheel - I'm just weighing up getting a Carpuride or Chigee now or waiting for the fully integrated Chigee.
Things seem to be moving very quickly, if it were me I would wait. From a cost point of view the Carpuride is very good. Interesting to see how the new play version works in the cradle.
I am looking to replace my crappy nav5 with something, but this setup, while its very nice, its too bulky. I wonder if i could just get a mirror mount from SP connect and a mount for a phone (the setup makes the phone stay very close to the frame), and somehow have that phone listen to the bike's wonderwheel... any idea on such a solution? - oh and i noticed that the W702 is not in the center...
When I mounted the 7 inch I had the bmw cradle removed and it was less in your face. I don't like the bmw cradle mount anyway and took it off pretty much straight away when I took the bike new out of the showroom. Ram mount so some small bar mounts and I used that and that was good. It's on the other videos of the w702. But as a quick fix then the cradle mount bracket is ok. Ask far as what you want to do I have tried using devices connected to the bikes tft via bluetooth and another unit ie Garmin zumo xt and it ended in tears!!!!!!good luck.
Just got the 5inch more like 4 inch but it’s not the images don’t go to the edge of the screen like old iPhones , I have same bike as yours I also have a video camera front and rear and you cannot conect both on one wifi . Your 502 with blue tooth and wifi but not the camera at same time 🤷🏼♂️
Hi. I was just going to send you a message about contacting Carpuride. They had contacted me as they had read that your unit had not arrived and wanted me to give you an email address to sort it out. I now see that you have received the 502 so that is good news. Hopefully it works well for you. Ride safe. Paul
Hi Paul I have a W502 and I am facing amor of issues to connect the device in my Rt1250 and my cardo system Can you explain the pairing process ? I think initial my iPhone is being paired with bike and cardo edge with bike After I need to connect using blue tooth the w502 with cardo and with iPhone ? Thanks for helping
Firstly do a factory reset on the w502. Then delete all entries of the Carpuride from your phones Bluetooth, wifi and CarPlay . Should be no problem connecting the phone to the Cardo packtalk . Then simply select Bluetooth and WiFi on and then in the CarPlay setting of your phone just look for the Carpuride and then select it and follow the on screen instructions etc should work 😁

Great video, many thanks! I recently bought the 702 for my 1250GS and it's very nice. Where I'm having a bit of confusion is pairing the intercom to it. I've a Schuberth C4 helmet with the integrated Sena intercom, which has different pairings, one for the phone, the phone secundary and the GPS pairing.....and it's very confusing if pairing it with the bike system or not...well, probably I'll find the way myself, but I've to say I find it quite tricky.
My best tip would be to factory reset the headset and delete ant previous phone bluetooth connections and start again like its fresh out of the box, even the 702 if you have connected it previously and you've had any problems , factory reset that too. Then just try the sena as if it were just connecting to the phone.
Congratulations very well explained video. I have the W502 with that problem into the cradle. Now I am going to fix it with the magnet. Thanks for the review. Regards from México 🇲🇽
Got a stack of small bar magnets from Amazon for about £6. Already fitted , you may have to turn the magnet over if it doesn’t get the power to work first time due to the polarity North/South of the magnets .

I don’t understand why people buy this while having phone anyway. You will only use nav at the end so buy yourself good phone holder and use the device which you already carry in your pocket. If you have BMW bike this is even more pointless as you can play stop or use nav on you phone via buttons on your handlebar coming build in with bike😂😂😂😂.
@@erik_dk842 obviously you care because you comment on it. Some one who don’t care not spend time to type answer. Brain is there but not yet maybe one day boy…
Take that back , the magnet was there, it is a small strip of magnetic tape. The reason it did work was because I missed the clear strip of tape, protecting the pins on the back of the cradle. All working fine 😂
I have a 1250GS and the 7" works great for me. All you have to do is tilt the GPS mount slightly. No blocked view, and it stays pretty firmly in place with the BMW adapter. I prefer the bigger screen because it's easier to control and also easier to read (aging eyes, lol).

If you have to deal with price - take the Carpuride 5". If not, Chigee AIO-5 Lite. Compromise: the new ChiGee AIO Play version, new Innov N1
Money not an issue....Chigee, budget conscious Carpuride.
Can you use the bmw scrollwheel to operate the carpuride?
No.
@@gsd32i I still don’t get why the cradle for the gs has so many pins then as it’s only providing power. That’s just 2 pins 🤷♂️
Weird design
@@geertwanten1841 I wish I knew. 🙈
I don’t understand why people buy this while having phone anyway. You will only use nav at the end so buy yourself good phone holder and use the device which you already carry in your pocket. If you have BMW bike this is even more pointless as you can play stop or use nav on you phone via buttons on your handlebar coming build in with bike😂😂😂😂.
Indeed , we all have choices. My choice is CarPlay and all that it brings to the party. Not a fan of phones on snow TBH. Ride safe .😁
Another pointless "I have no need for this thing" comment.
Nobody cares.
@@erik_dk842 obviously you care because you comment on it. Some one who don’t care not spend time to type answer. Brain is there but not yet maybe one day boy…
Just had a 502 delivered today……without the magnet fitted🧲 ☹️
I take it that it works then or not ?
Take that back , the magnet was there, it is a small strip of magnetic tape.
The reason it did work was because I missed the clear strip of tape, protecting the pins on the back of the cradle.
All working fine 😂
