Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Verify the power connection is secure and correctly wired. If using a 12V connection, ensure the motorcycle battery is charged. If using a USB port, confirm the port provides sufficient power (5V, 2.5A minimum) and try a different USB source if possible.
CarPlay or Android Auto not connecting
Ensure your smartphone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled. Restart both your phone and the CARPURIDE screen. Check that your phone is compatible with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and that no specific phone settings are blocking the connection. Re-pair the Bluetooth connection.
Screen is unresponsive or frozen
Perform a soft reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. If the issue persists, try a hard reset by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds (if applicable). Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range.
Poor audio quality or dropped calls
Check the Bluetooth connection strength between the device and your headset/helmet. Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are causing interference. Try re-pairing your headset/helmet with the CARPURIDE screen.
Display is dim or hard to read
Adjust the brightness settings within the CARPURIDE device menu. Ensure the screen protector (if applicable) is clean and not obstructing the view. The 1000nit peak brightness should be sufficient for most daylight conditions.
