This looks similar to the aliexpress head units that some people are using (@Mad Mike and @Scuba Steve IIRC among others). I think the aliexpress units are ~$200.

Do you have a carpuride brand?
The phone i was using as my motorcycle GPS died a horrible death recently and I’ll need a replacement once i return.
This def has my interest. Or those Android CarPlay units (which this may be).
Phone is still functional but def isn’t worth fixing.

They offered to send me a unit for free to review, and then an additional payment when my video was published.
They told me I could say whatever I wanted in the review, total creative freedom, just send them the link when it's published.
I guess they didn't like that I said all of the good things and the bad things about their product, so they refused to pay me.
That's Carpuride.

Someone shooting at you with a shotgun?

It isn’t a GPS but a remote screen of your phone, running those applications while you have the phone safely tucked away.
I’ve been sitting on the fence with this. I’ve not heard many negatives about them.
One "negative" is that you have to run two separate power cables, one for the Carpuride (or Chigee, or whatever remote display you're using) and another one for your actual phone that is casting the screen. I guess if your trips are short, you can just run your phone battery down and recharge when your ride is over.
If you do run two power cables, after that initial setup is done, it looks like pretty smooth sailing.
BMW is basically doing this with its new TFT displays, they are integrating the casting function right into the bike's SW, so you don't need a separate display. It's a proprietary interface though, so separate from Carplay or Android Auto.
Not really, my phone connects wireless for CarPlay so I usually keep the phone in the top box and the Carpuride cable is hardware to the cable on the bike labelled GPS.
