Carpuride fitting

[Doc]

Yes sorry must have been half asleep as I'm not usually that thick either!
Isn't there an adapter on the carpuride website?

I'll have a look cheers

Isn't that the wrong unit? Looks like a BMW mount...
The W702 pro does not have that "box" thing as part of the mount.

No idea John.
Got it mounted but cutting lugs off isn't ideal as I'll have to put some sealant on as inside unit is now exposed. Could really do with another wired fitting with a ball on but a different style but can't seam to find owt.

Does yours have the camera gubbins?

The 702pro is the model for universal mounting.

No it does have the handlebar remote thing but I don't need that.

Ah, that's why you have that box thing on the back.

Could I change that John ?

Dunno. The standard unit has a 4 screw fixing for the ram ball. No idea what's under the "box".
Too late to send it back for exchange as you modified it

 

[Redboots]

Here is a list of the various models. Maybe yours id the W702H. If so, you have been short-changed

Shouldn't you be packing your "garage" contents into boxes?

For a BMW?
Wouldn't one that fits all be better?

No as I now have a R1300GS and a BMW sat nav mount on my multistrada.
However, the lack of phone signal and data costs in some places in Europe might scupper my idea somewhat.

Iain,
Look at either Airalo or Saily for eSIM's
For 2 weeks EU was about £10 depending on how much data you want. If you're camping you may want a bit more data, but with hotels you can use Wi-Fi for normal surfing

Offline maps. Dunno what app you use but Kurviger, MRA and Google maps allow/support that.
