Re: Carpuride 702BS

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the BMW wonder wheel is able to zoom yet on the Carpuride 702BS (or Chigee or any other alternative)?

Also, what advantages are there to using Android Auto, as opposed to simply letting MRA run on your phone directly to the Carpuride/Chigee?

For information, I've never used one of these "dumb" screens before, having used a Carpe Iter until now. My CI V4b is quite good but underpowered and I'm wondering whether to upgrade to a new CI Careta or take an easier option of a Chigee/Carpuride that will slot straight into the Nav prep on my new R1300GS.

Thanks.

Buy something good from Carpe-iter the Careta if you really want to use it for direct zooming and skipping WP. Carpe-iter has yes for zooming and especially on buttons, a BMW adapter ..

On the pure Carplay or Android Auto displays you have to cumbersomely switch to +/- zooms, so not to compare with it.

I only use an iPhone Xr mobile phone in the BMW Cratel plus the Remotek One BT keyboard, it also goes directly with it, but it is a mobile phone solution, and with the Cateta also not to compare.

To do this, see MRA the input setting

And in the MRA manual under MyRout app

• Bluetooth controller

Link BMW Controller

Thanks, again, Hubert.
Actually, I have been using the bmw controller with my CI v4b these last 2 years. And, last weekend, I spoke with the Carpe Iter guy at the UK’s Adventure Bike Rider show. He said it was better not to use the one marked “bmw control” but to use the ordinary Carpe Iter input option. As I have already stripped my CI fittings from my old bike, I haven’t been able to test that yet.
