Carpuride system

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Here is the attachment point. It snaps into the base.

Does the cable fit OK, looks as though it is tight

It actually fits fine. I have never had an issue with it, though to your point it does appear loose. I frequently commute with my RT, and take off the Carpuride prior to walking way from the bike.

I'm looking at getting one of these Carpuride 502b for my 2018 R1200RT, but had a few questions for those that have installed them on an RT LC.
- Does the wonder wheel control the Carpuride? Does it work well?
- Is the Carpuride screen a touchscreen? Can you work it with a glove on? Or do you require special touch enabled gloves like with an iPhone?
- Streaming music from your cellphone through Apple Carplay does the music play through the bike's speakers? (I have the BMW factory stereo on the bike)

Thanks for your help. (can't wait for this Canadian winter to end! although it just really started.... :()

Carpuride does not work with the Wonder Wheel. Chigee does, though the Chigee is quite a bit more expensive.

Carpuride is a touchscreen, and you would need capacitive gloves.

Because I use a Sena unit connected to my iPhone, 95% of the time I can simply say “Hey Siri” and get what I need. I don’t use the BMW speakers, so I am unable to answer that question for you.

Ride safe!
