W502B 5" for BMW R1200GS R1250GS S1000XR Motorcycle

I have a telecom background (wireless, fiber, commercial AV, etc.) with over 30 years of experience with both consumer and professional electronics. Over time I’ve grown pretty skeptical of most consumer-grade gear — they usually disappoint me because my expectations are set by their claims, and too often they fall short of their own assertions. I’m also from a small town in New England, so I’m naturally wired to look for flaws. It’s cultural. Try ordering anything more complicated than “light and sweet” at a Dunkin’ anywhere along the Northeast Corridor and you’ll understand what I mean. With that said, I only leave glowing reviews when a product truly earns it. This one earns it. Size: It’s big. If that surprises you, I don’t know what to tell you — maybe your dad never made you hold the tape measure during one of his 90% complete home projects. Mounting it may take some planning, but that should be obvious. Power: In my car, the accessory outlet turns off 30–60 seconds after shutdown. Even after sitting a week, no battery drain. As soon as I unlock the car, the unit powers on and connects to my iPhone 17 Pro Max via CarPlay by the time I sit down. This automatic behavior actually works well and doesn’t annoy me — which is rare. CarPlay Performance: Syncs quickly and reliably. The only MINOR issues I noticed: * The settings menu button overlaps with the forward/music skip button when you have certain apps (like Calendar view added) Not ideal but workable. With no events the Calendar does not show, or just delete from the stack in your phone settings for CarPlay (SEE PHOTO) * The touchscreen isn’t the most sensitive I’ve used. It’s not terrible, just occasionally a bit laggy. I waited almost a year before buying because I expected disappointment and a painful return process. I’m happy to say this unit exceeded my expectations. Setup was simple, audio routing works great, and my phone no longer sits in direct sunlight getting hot. (Note: I didn’t install the rear camera, so I can’t speak to that.) Bottom line: This is one of the best consumer electronics purchases I’ve made in a long time. Highly recommended.

Outstanding product and incredible value. I was honestly expecting a few glitches or connection issues since it’s not the market leader (like Chigee) for the BMW R 1300 GS and costs almost half as much. Installation was seamless—it fit perfectly on the BMW GPS mount and was truly plug-and-play. I put it through a real test on a 2,100-mile trip, and it performed flawlessly the entire time: zero random disconnects, no overheating (which my iPhone often struggles with), and excellent performance in the rain. For the price, the reliability and performance exceeded my expectations. I’m extremely happy with it and would absolutely recommend it.

I bought this for my old non-smart 2011 Jeep grand Cherokee Laredo. I was skeptical, but it works great for CarPlay . I’m knocked off a star because the dash adhesive tape the mount base came with didn’t hold. I ended up purchasing a different base.

Works great and for a reasonable price. It comes with multiple ways to attach it to your dash or window which is a great option for different types of vehicles. The size of the device is great. It is easy to set up. It is easy to connect to a device (my husband and I have Samsung and our kids have Iphones). Only thing I wish was that it had a way to adjust the device volume. I have looked and not found a way yet, maybe it is there and i have not found it. I can adjust my car volume but when I turn my car speakers to zero the device still has its own volume that is unable to adjust or at least I have not been able to find it yet. However, the price and the fact it does function like it said it would, is why I give it five stars.

At first blush, this is a nice unit, audio pairs up seamlessly with my pioneer, navigation sort of works. Not really a safe unit to use for nav or books. Don't try to find the camera when driving. Much of this might be my ludite skill set, after all I only owned a successful car stereo store for 20 years. One BIG issue that is not arguable is the mounting system. Cheap, flimsy, useless all come to mind. The attachment at the back of the panel is weak and the mass of the panel will break it if used for off road. The large suction cup arm that only slides onto the panel does not stay attached to the glass. The smaller bolt down style bracket doesn't fit all the way into the slots on the panel. they were not made for each other. The camera for back up will not maintain aiming as the bracket and hardware are to flimsy. these are the problems after about 1 week of use and I was really high on this unit initially. This is what you run into often when someone designs and builds something that must be installed to use. They won't talk to an experienced installer or pay some one to prepare a readable user guide. Same conceit that we always have seen. They think we don't have high enough standards to know the difference. If we continue to rely on cell phones, they will be right.

I have a 2020 Ford Transit XLT Cargo Van with the factory nav system, that has wired car play android auto capability. The in car USB ports have failed more than once and the experience was still sluggish and unreliable. I added this. It sits with an extended mount directly above the original display from the windshield. The configuration completely eliminated view of any wires and looks very professional and is functional as well. Everything goes through android auto through my phone wirelessly and the Bluetooth audio and phone calls still use the cars built in Bluetooth. All steering wheel controls work. You can also use the existing screen to make phone calls and still adjust tracks and music. Cheaper than getting it fixed again. Now more reliability with more features like wireless connectivity. You can keep your phone in your pocket and it just works. Spotify and maps resume. The camera records video constantly unless powered down. The unit will not power down on its own unless your accessory socket goes dead when you turn off the car. Manually turning it on and off should you choose is a non issue. It boots and connects in 5 - 10 seconds max. Greatly exceeded my expectations. Was intended to be a compromise but the end result was the opposite. I got the best of both now. If you have an AUX jack or even my dad uses the FM connectivity in his car I. The Chicago metropolitan area. I am an audio snob, very particular to sound. It passed my test. In the past FM modulation was terrible. I don't know what they did here. Impressive.

I'm very happy with it, for the price point. I like that everything links right up and works very simply around town (maps, spotify automatically work through my headset when I fire up my bike). Since I have always used my phone for backcountry travel, I have apps that function outside cell service and I always download my maps before setting off. If you are not used to downloading maps and using apps that can access GPS without cell service, you may find this unit limiting. I don't think that is the unit's fault. You can spend 2x or 3x and get something a bit more seamless, but I think the slight difference between "around town" and "middle of nowhere" riding is not an issue. If you're riding hundreds of miles away from cell coverage and civilization, you are probably used to proper planning and preparation, so having to use some app other than the go-to map apps probably isn't a big deal. Please note, this unit works great outside of cell service, you just have to know what you're doing. I feel like all the options out there now fall into three categories: Solid GPS with no carplay (inconvenient), Cheap carplay systems (require planning when you lose cell service), and great hybrid systems (cost an arm and a leg). This is a cheap carplay unit, but I think with a few good backcountry apps and a sliver of planning, it is great. I machined a custom mount for mine (I bought it with the BMW adapter, since I have considered putting a BMW cradle on my bikes). As a note, the unit uses the mount as a heat sink. When you remove it, you will see the processor and a piece of thermal transfer foam. I feel like the stock mount was not ideal for wicking away heat, so I added heat sink fins to my mount. In its stock form, I might be a little concerned about heat in the middle of summer moving slowly through the desert in 110 degree heat. It got warm (not hot) just sitting in my 65 degree shop after a couple of minutes not even transferring audio or navigating. I may be overreacting, but if you are swapping out mounts, it may be something to consider. I love the size options, too. The 5" fits my setup perfectly. I don't want to feel like I have a giant tablet strapped to my bike that does occasionally get dumped in a sand pit.

The unit in Andoid Auto drops bluetooth connection and swit he's to the home screen. The map goes away and the music stops. This happens every 3 to 10 minutes. The unit will automatically restart Android Auto, the music starts playing again and Google map resumes the route. I have a similar unit attached to my motorcycle and that unit has never disconnected from my phone, so I don't think the issue is with the phone. I have a service request with [email protected], we'll see if and how they reply. I am considering returning this item and getting a different brand. Two stars because the unit itself seems very well built with nice mounting hardware.

Dieses Gerät kann ich zu 100 Prozent weiterempfehlen. Einfache Montage. Die Verbindung mit dem Handy kinderleicht, das Display sagt einem was man machen muss. Vielfältige Möglichkeit mit dem Autoradio zu verbinden. Aber auch ohne Autoradio voll funktionsfähig. Ich steige ins Auto, starte den Wagen und es verbindet sich automatisch mit dem Handy. Per Sprachanweisung kann ich alle Dienste wie z.B. Telefonieren, Navigation oder Musik starten. Tolles Teil. Falls es doch mal Probleme gibt, der Support antwortet innerhalb von 1-2 Tagen. Ich habe mir für meinen Golf 5 eine zusätzliche Halterung für den CD-Player gekauft.

Funciono bien un mes y medio y despues ya no prendio. El producto tiene una politica de devolucion de 30 dias asi es que estoy por pedrer mi dinero.

Al momento dell'arrivo sembra un buon prodotto, dobbiamo ancora metterlo in uso, perché va montato nel veicolo e inserito il cavo per la telecamera dietro. Aggiornerò la mia recensione una volta montato. L'unica pecca, se così la vogliamo definire, è il cavo da fissare per la telecamera posteriore, che è troppo corto per un veicolo come il camper e in più pensavamo che la retro camera fosse in wireless. Per il resto sicuramente consigliabile.

Es un excelente producto de muy buena calidad, se adaptó perfecto a la base del GPS original en una moto BMW r1200gs 2013 y funciona muy bien como Car play en la moto. Ampliamente recomendable

Excelente pero:.... 1: No es totalmente contra agua. Si lavas la moto procura quitarlo 2: De repente se apendeja y se apaga mientras estás andando.
