Carpuride 702BS ... an initial review - Grumpy Goat - 05-01-2025
If you are thinking of buying this unit you should probably watch this video first.

Hmmm,
Counterpoint, I very rarely use any screen other than the map. Granted, I have a TFT bike, but after years of having a gps in front of me, I NEED that map!
Gloves, a little spit goes a long way.
My problem is it randomly disconnects from my phone and I lose the map. Comes back when you restart the bike, but that's not really acceptable when touring.
With a TFT bike, if you have a Hex EZcan, the turn signal press to change screens doesn't work as the EZcan uses that function.
My reason for buying, I'm on my 6th Nav6 so I don't trust them either. I was hoping...
Carpuride sent me a new download but I'm not smart enough to get it to work.

Tha't OK ... the part on the Tiger just speaks to the use as a Carplay unit and the compact standoff. I agree with the need for the map and for that it is good, especially at that screen size.
Interesting part about the Hex eZCAN ... I have one too on my non-TFT RS but my big issues are not likely caused by that since, other than the fuel gauge, it all works (albeit just a little off, as mentioned).

Or, and this is far more likely, user error by me. I'm not the techiest.

Tried the previoius version on my previous bike (STR675). Didn't get as far as fitting it, it failed a bench test on the IPX rating and after 15 minutes submerged in about 15 cm of water, refused to turn on. Sorry, but I don't trust Carpuride's rating claims and water ingress is going to let you down when you least expect it.
