I already had the Carpuride 702 BMW purchased in 2024, and it was a great purchase for me.
I wanted to upgrade to the new 702BS PRO model to take full advantage of the BMW wheel controls and adjust settings without taking my hands off the handlebars.
Installation is quick and easy, and control is simple with the wheel.
One thing I don't understand, and don't like, is that while the first Carpuride I purchased allowed me to connect to my computer and change various settings without having to install it on the bike, the new model has no connection for the computer, and for any settings, you have to install it on the bike and turn on the TFT control panel.
New to Carpuride and excited to use the system whenever its stops raining in the UK! Clamp is a sturdy and well made unit. Just need to get used to how the key works.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box containing my new Carpuride W602S Pro. Beautifully wrapped with solid component protection. And all the parts were properly packed and protected inside the box. This is mounted on a 2013 BMW R1200RT so no way to integrate the “Wonder Wheel” but that was OK. Initially, I’d planned to use an existing USB plug to power the unit. However, after wiring it up and plugging in the Carpuride to that USB, it would not power up. I tried other electronics and all of them powered up using that same USB on the motorcycle. So, I had to opt for the direct to battery power supply. Immediately it worked fine and frankly, the remote controller I placed on the handlebar turns the unit on and off very easily. Now, so how is it in use going down the road? Obviously the map software is so superior to my Garmin Zumo 590 as road conditions appear on the CarPlay maps-very helpful. Remarkably, the sound coming out of my SENA 50S Harmon Kardon speakers are better than they ever were previously. New rich bass tones. I am guessing the old SENA Bluetooth hub is not up to the task as it always sounded “tinny” with no bass regardless of settings. The Carpuride sound quality is far superior. It seems the touch screen on the Carpuride isn’t “glove friendly” like my Garmin. That’s disappointing as I have to take off one glove to interact with the screen. Additionally, sun glare is more prevalent than on the old Garmin. However, it’s rarely an issue. The TPMS shows tire temperature only in Celsius, not Fahrenheit and Carpuride Support confirmed this is the only option. I need to learn how to increase the turn-by-turn navigation instructions volume from the Google maps. It is noticeably lower volume than my music or other information coming into my headset. To prevent signal conflict, I’ve had to lose my Escort Radar “beeping” signal because that requires turning on the SENA hub which overrides the Carpuride unit, shutting off it’s output. So far I’m pleased with the unit and its quality and performance. In time I’ll figure out all the capabilities.
