Carpuride Installed

[Rugerbear]

I finally got my Carpuride installed. And a garage door opener button. I had to take the top handle bar cover off, left side panel off, Windshield, and little cover under the windshield. I found the little 3 prong plug under the handle bar cover. I plugged the adapter I got from Amazon in. Hooked up the positive and negative leads. The third one is just folded back and taped it to the bundle. I ran the lead from the Carpuride from the plug into the space behind the little cover I took off under the windshield. I was able to feed it up to right at the bracket I was putting the Carpuride on. The cable is hidden with just the end that attaches to the Carpuride showing. I then took all the excess cable and coiled it up and zip tied it together and then to the wire loom that the plug was attached to. I left all the lead on the Carpuride. I guess I could have cut it shorter and put the fuse back in line. As it is, if I need to get to the fuse all I have to do is take the top handle bar cover off.


The unit had a bolt that went thru the mount on the back to tighten it on so it wouldn’t move. It had a end that reminded me of a wing nut. I thought very easy to remove. I replaced it with a socket cap head screw that took an Allen wrench to remove. I tightened it down real good and put a lock nut on the other end. It is very sturdy and I feel a little secure from easy removal.


I am able to see it real good because of the size, 7”. And also the speedometer. I have to lean to one side the see the info on the top of the display. Unfortunately I can’t use the vent in the windshield. Oh well. The 5” one was just too small to see real good and to control


I got the 702Pro. I connected the phone to it and then the helmet to it. The Carpuride controls everything.It evens has an equalizer in it.


I was also able to Bluetooth my phone to the Scooter and it shows what the speed limit is supposed to be where I am at.

I also put in a button to control a Garage Door Opener.

Thank you. Speedometer a little hard to see, not impossible. Waiting for speedometer on Apple Maps. I know Waze and google have it but don’t like them as much.

This is a great post, what is your impression of the 702s you picked up so far? I've heard there is an issue with the mount where it can lose power to the screen periodically depending on road conditions.

So far there has been no problem. I can see it good. I can hit all the buttons pretty easily. I like it.
