My thoughts about using and living with the Carpuride W702. Tested extensively on a recent 4400 mile tour to Greece and back from the UK. Available here - carpuride.com/...

Great video. I contacted the support about the toggle. Indeed they had removed the day night toggle with the latest update. And I also share your feelings about using it at night. It is WAY to bright for my taste. To a point where it really is distracting. I really hope this gets addressed. Greetings from Munich Stephan

I just received my W603 and it has auto-brightness with upper and lower limit settings. Likely needs a sensor not on the 702 for the auto but hopefully the add a manual brightness adjustment for the 702 software (or get yourself a W603).

Great video and a very good summary. A question! Have you paired the tft screen as well? If so, in what order have you paired the system? Thanks in advance.
@TheStammeringBikerАй бұрын
I have my phone paired to the TFT yes but I’ve made sure to setup an automation on my phone so that the audio doesn’t switch over to the TFT as the headset isn’t paired to it. This way I get the ride recording from the Connected app without affecting the CarPlay element.

Good stuff! And I assume the new GS did equally well!

Nice video. Great review. 1 Question. Did you try and use 'Hey Siri' ? Not seen anything on this but would be good if that works too.
@cpuukАй бұрын
I have a W502, the 'Hey siri' works freakishly well, just remember to turn her on first.
@TheStammeringBikerАй бұрын
Yep it works brilliantly for me, although I have my headset paired directly to my phone and not to the W702.

Thank you. Didi you change the angle of the original BMW mount yo clear the TFT screen?
@TheStammeringBikerАй бұрын
I adjusted it slightly but the bar doesn’t go higher so it does obscure ever so slightly.

I have had and have a few issues. First being, reading messages does vocal transcripts. No pref setting possible. Regular timeout errors or connexions to other phones in range, needing reboot. Updates? How to get them apart contacting by mail in china and waiting 48 hours….?? Version number has been exactly the same for supposedly 1 update… not sure I will keep this thing, although when it works, it’s good!
@TheStammeringBikerАй бұрын
Reading messages via vocal transcripts is an Apple CarPlay thing not specific to this unit, the built in Apple CarPlay on my car does the same. I’ve had one or 2 disconnections but nothing extensive. Also connections to other phones in range doesn’t make a difference unless of course you’ve paired it to multiple devices perhaps? I agree the update process is a little frustrating and should be done OTA.
@os6219Ай бұрын
@@TheStammeringBikerunfortunately no other pairing. My unit suddenly stopped working for time out , trying to connect to a phone in an unknown car in front of me. A dedicated support page would be good, but no. They don’t want to care.

Hi. What app were you using please on the road footage?

Hi, the app was MyRouteApp, I use that for all my tours or Waze if I’m just going point A to B :)

I think the day/night switch is controlled by your phone now right? In my car it’s connected to the lights being on or off, but that does not work here with your phone in your pocket in a tunnel

Sadly not even at night the brightness doesn’t change even if the phone is set to night mode

Ay I ask why you aren't using the BMW mount?

At the time I bought the W702, Carpuride hadn’t released their adapter to plug into the BMW cradle.

No cameras on this version I see and clearly no auto brightness
@TheStammeringBiker2 ай бұрын
I’m not sure what you mean by cameras? The unit doesn’t support camera input. Auto brightness is a shame though yeah, I’m a Blood Biker so I often ride at night so it’s a bit of a pain. Hopefully they’ll bring it back in a later update.

Not sure what the intent of the comment is in context of this W702 review, but their W603 model does have front and rear cameras. No mention of brightness control on any of the models I can find and the manuals don't appear to be available online, so I'm assuming it's just not controllable at least for the moment.
