Several folks asked about using the Carpuride Apple Car Play while still having your phone and comm unit paired to the Pan America. It works. With my Cardo Pack Talk paired to the bike, my iPhone paired with the bike, and the iPhone also connected to the Carpuride via wireless Car Play, the audio integrations with the Pan America still work. The volume control and media buttons on the left hand control work, and you can answer calls using the handlebar controls as well. In my case, I could never get a reliable audio connection between the Pan America and my Cardo Packtalk, but if you happen to have a unit with a good connection to the bike, you can keep those connections and add the Carpuride unit in addition if you like.

Great review! You've become my de facto PA resource. I appreciate the work you're doing for our community!

Just thought you'd like to know I just mounted my Carpuride unit last night using my existing QuadLock system. I just unscrewed the RAM ball from the back of the unit, tapped the threads out to 5MM and bob's your uncle. It's a little far forward for my preference, but I saved myself $50 buying additonal RAM stuff to make it work.

I’m also a moto KZfaqr and was just contacted be Carpuride. I haven’t committed yet as I’m not totally familiar with their products. I’d be interested way more in front/rear facing cameras and proximity sensors. I have an old school scrambler with zero tech and worthless gages that would benefit with a similar unit. Good job on the video, you’re way more tech savvy than me.

Your review is incredibly comprehensive. Nice work

Outstanding video, appreciate the objectivity of the pros and the cons.

Nice job. Thanks for the review!

Best review on the net. Thanks!

Your a guru in the pan am market I really needed this for my 2023 thank you

Excellent review. Thanks.

Good review thank you.. I have one on my RT and it works flawlessly. Just changed audio to be direct from phone to headset.

Great video! I actually purchased one of these through Amazon and got it in 3 days. Been enjoying it on the Pan Am for a few weeks now.

Fantastic review - you've captured the good, bad and indifferent superbly well. Your "glitch" has happened to me a couple of times on my Android setup - some kind of connection issue with the phone (Samsung), I think. It required a reboot, which isn't easy when riding. Frustrating, but not a deal breaker. I did have issues with the first unit I had...customer service was delayed as you say, but acceptable. They directed me to carry out a firmware update, which resulted in the unit becoming an expensive brick - completely dead! That said, they sent me a new unit immediately and completely free-of-charge, which already had the firmware update installed and it has worked fine except for the "glitches" already mentioned; they didn't ask that I return the failed unit, so it sits on a shelf in case they decided to collect. Great video. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the info

Excellent video!

Great video , thanks . I just got the w702 a couple days ago, Using via Android auto and found the same as you,. It works better for me via the iplay output as well . Have my SC2 on my Schuberth C5 bluetoothed to my phone and the functions are working well . I don't have handlebar button functions but use a chubby buttons device on the handlebars and that works safer for me to pause music , answer calls or skip tracks

Another excellent video.

Hi Mike, Thanks a lot for the very informative video. FYI and the users of Carpuride you don't have to factory reset the unit to disengage it from your intercom.... From the Home Screen, you have to go to the Audio output (Purple Button) and choose your preferences. IPlay/Auto: For your intercom to be connected directly to your phone and Carpuride is just a mirror of your phone (For me the best too), or BT Trans: If you would like the Carpuride to be in the middle of your phone and your intercom with all the consequences you're referring. You can change this on the go at any time.... I've just tried it...!!

Great video - very excellent 👍😊

I got one on my Tracer 9GT-with Android Auto-and it works fine. I agree with the audio setup-it doesn't work well with the Carpuride in the middle.

Im getting the tall version this week. I cant wait. Ive toyed with and add on to the oem to understand the deflection possibilities. The v model makes perfect sense, and the cost is ridiculously reasonable compared to the pop brands out there. Not saying they don’t work of course.

For reference, the Garmin Zumo XT, supposed to be the apex predator of Motorcycle GPS units, also reacts to raindrops as phantom touches. Funny, I have the exact same Lee Parks gloves too and I love them! I ordered the W502B for my BMW R1250R and it snaps nicely into the BMW NAV VI cradle. Couldn't be any easier. First ride tomorrow...fingers crossed. Keeping the mount for my Garmin Zumo XT on the bike until I feel comfortable with the Carpuride's reliability. Thanks for the video!

Great review! I got mine 2 days after order on Amazon which I also recommend for obvious reasons and I like it so far (about a week). Also useless functions for you doesn't always mean useless for everyone and maybe a longer explanation of those functions would better support your logic. You do need to get BT audio from the Carpuride unit to listen to the SD card as an issue.

It is missing an autommatic brightness control.

Very informative video. I appreciate your efforts to help us understand how the unit works. 😉👍 Don’t forget to email their help site and request the latest driver. Most times it needs an update and if you don’t ask for it you don’t get it.

W702 for 181.99 US is very enticing for me to just order direct, I have a 4400km trip upcoming across Ontario to BC in June and this would be alot easier for navigation than my phone

20:39 if it is raining that much, you shouldn't be looking at your screen anyhow.

I wonder if they will ever update the PA to AirPlay

I the Carpuride 702 and I followed your directions on how to set it up by pairing your phone to the headset then the Carpuride to the phone. The problem I am having is when I make a call or answer a call I can’t speak to them through my headset but I can’t hear them through the headset it goes to the phone that inside it’s holster. What am I doing wrong. Please help.

You should do a video on installing the siren module on the pan america. No one has a video of the install or a video of the alarm on the pan america. I just installed mine it was $115 with wire connector off the harley website.

Hi, Thx for this clear review. I also have an PanAm and thinking about one of those carplay device. What do you think of the fluidity and speed of the screen? Was there any latency during GPS navigation like on the PanAm's native GPS? Thx for all you videos. Greeting from Switzerland

Good review, i've been using mine and really happy with it during the day. But the big problem i can not seem to get around is when using Google Maps at night. Even when i have turned the brightness all the way down and setting Google Maps to night mode, the screen is still too bright and off-putting, to the point it destroys my night vision and eyes can't adjust to the road at night as the screen is so bright and lighting me up. Have you found a way to dim the screen more or enable a night mode on the device settings? Thanks

Thank You for your very detailed, in depth reviews of everything I’ve seen. I was wondering if you know if I can use this with an handlebar mount Bluetooth speaker and achieve the same results with the Apple CarPlay as you have in this review? Thank you for your hard work preparing these videos. I have a 2023 Pan Am.

Nice review. My current issue with all these reviews is nobody mounts on a sport or sport -tourer. I have a Honda VFR and with clip ons, not handlebars. I can see mounting on the clutch/brake reservoir but this is not ideal. I actually consider this dangerous. Just for context, i have 45 states on this bike and really want it for map display. I have no intention of ever using the touch screen while riding. I also have a Cardo packtalk bold. Im taking my longest trip in a few months to Alaska and really want the additional visual beyond prompts in my ear. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks! I also still cant find anything more functional than the iphone in my bag connected to a zumoxt and my cardo. Is that a National Cycle vstream windshield?

Hola Amigo. Any update on fielding your custom mount?

Thanks for the great review. I had a couple of questions regarding functionality when the phone is the middle man and the headset and screen are connected to the phone. First question is. Ok you lose the volume function from the touchscreen, but can’t you alter that using Siri commands? 2nd question is, if I have a pillion headset paired to my headset, will they receive the navigation instructions and music? Thank you!

I have a slightly different menu. I don’t have “Audio output” and “Music”. Did you update your software somehow?

Hi Mike, thanks for the video, a quick question with the unit connected to your phone and your cardo connected to your phone have you disconnected both your phone and cardo from the Pan America? Keep up the good work mate

Buying off Amazon also lets you buy a cheap add on warranty that covers a ton of stuff.

Great video Mike. I have a 702W on order from China as we speak to replace a old Garmon dimly lite 595 on my FJR. Is it possible to just cut off the ball form the back of the ram mount flush and just screw in to my mounting bracket that way?

It would be useful if they told us where to download the firmware updates- nothing on the web site.

Mike, great review my question is have you connected it at all with your Pan America? I like the ability of using the bikes buttons for call answering and music volume.

Awesome video Mike! Any chance you can try fiddling around with the bike's Bluetooth to connect to the screen and perhaps regain the blessing of the right hand controls again? Or is it impossible?

Great video, I would like to do this myself but I think I would have to disconnect my headset from the factory unit which I don't want to do because I have a Sena unit that is the only unit that fits in a Shoei Neotech2 helmet and the controls are so small that you really can't operate it with gloves on and the factory controls on the right side of the handlebars work so good.

Hey Mike, thanks for the great videos on Pan America maintenance You've saved me tons! My speedometer runs 2 mph fast, meaning if it says I'm going 35mph in actually going 33mph. Do you know how to recalibrate it? I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thanks!

A very good review. Think that I will pass though, as I use a Garmin ZumoXT. BUT, I do like your windscreen & GPS mount; can you provide any info? Thanks!

I believe this product or simalier are available from Aliex at a considerable saving...just saying

So jist looking on Amazon for this. I see they have the 702 for $250 with $30 dollar coupon. But scrolling down they're showong the "24" version for $299 with a $70 coupon. So was wondering which version is ypur video of? And if it is the "older" 7" one what's the difference between these two 7" versions?

Can you use it without a phone? i.e. for basic android apps? Can it be standalone?

What ! No way. Did ya try that kickstand turn around?

Also how did you hardwire yours?

P.S. I have everything working through iplay/auto. Playing music through Bt Trans the sound quality is garbage. I tried to correct it with the EQ but it still sounds like garbage. I also can’t scroll through my playlist when in the BT trans.

Hi Mike, Quick question did you have issues detecting the Carpuride wifi on your iphone? i use a Iphone 15 and i have been struggling with this. Carplay wont start without the wifi connection. Any thoughts?

Calimoto seems to not support android auto 😢

Who has the best donuts in York County ?

Before purchase Amazon said delivery in 8 days. After purchase estimated delivery in 21 - 49 - that is not ok😡

Who buys from China, Amazon with next day delivery, the tried a trusted method, with easy cheap returns. Your returns nonsense is to be expected buying from overseas and not peculiar to Carpuride. Plus secured payment. Still a fat better option than Tomtom or Garmin, and Far more price competitive. Had all the same mounting issues with Tomtom and Garmin, we tinker to get it as we like it depending on the bike. It’s a great step forward .
