Hola Peeps,

So, I am now on a BMW S1000XR and this big ol' bike is beautiful! (She's called Bertha!)

Now I feel I need a satnav, and I don't fancy the idea of having my phone sat in a cradle on the handlebars.

Are the Carpuride any good? I also have a Cardo Pack Talk Edge so will my music still connect to that through it?

Thanks!

So I wouldn’t be looking to buy new which means I don’t think I’d qualify for after sales support?

Does anyone have any recommendations on models, screen size etc?

I saw somewhere that there’s a 5” and a 7” and the larger is too big as it covers my in built screen.

I'd be nervous ordering off of AliExpress as I've never used it before.

Do you get any warranties or guarantees if anything breaks or goes wrong?

I've now had mine for a couple of days now and I need to have a proper play around with it.

So far, whenever it's connected to my phone I can't hear my Spotify through my helmet. My Cardo is still on and working though as I can still communicate with everyone.

I've tried playing the Spotify through the Carpuride but still nothing.

Also, the map that mirrors my iphone only shows an aerial view, rather than as if you're on the road and following it so at one point yesterday it was upside down.

And the wonder wheel works but I can only get it to turn the volume up and down which is pointless if my music isn't working!

Currently, not worth a light but I need to give it a proper go and the benefit of the doubt before I finally decide whether to keep it or not.
