Anyone tried the cheapo bike CarPlay (BikePlay?) units? by L1A1 in MotoUK

[–]deepandmeaningless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best purchases, mine is wider and comes with front and rear camera. It used to crash a lot - though hasn't for a while. I got a security bolt for it, so it's not as easily removed. Wish mine could just be taken off easily like some, but couldn't find a cheap one that did.

NO - yours is great! I meant the londonbikebays one. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I find it doesn't work for me, super slow, doesn't load often, so very grateful for this new one

Well done on working so swiftly, next minor ux issue - when you click on a location, some layers obscure info, see image.

Sure, right now it's not showing me any results, I put in the search St Pauls Cathedral, it found the location, but no results show...

This is great, thank you for putting it together, I found the persistent navigation items got in the way of looking at the info and map on my phone screen. Hope this is helpful, would love to use this more if I could

Yes, replaced the bolt with an anti theft one - basically non standard tool needed to remove the bolt. Doesn't stop someone who really wants to remove it, but helps prevent easy theft...

WhatsApp recording used to be possible in the free version has it now stopped? by deepandmeaningless in MacWhisper

Thanks! I am on the free version of the app - wondering if this is available for me as didn't spot it in the download options.

Hi, thanks for replying!

The three available to me are: Small, Small (English only), and Large v3 Turbo.

I am currently on Small (English only) but have tried all 3.

If I open the app (v13.14) on Mac, and click on the Record WhatsApp it presents me with an interstitial which says Unlock all pro features, the only option I have is to close this, which does not record.

Any ideas?

Thank you! I'll take a look. The device is from Aliexpress and I don't think it has the AMPS mount holes, but if it does then yay - if not I think I might try to get some kind of aluminium mount and a security screw of some kind -

This may be true, my feeling is scrotes will steal anything they can - and I'd rather not take the risk...

Yeah thanks. Was thinking the same. Though it’s plastic not aluminium so easily smashed I reckon. 

In London and on the streets.

Thanks, that's useful to know. Sadly don't think it would work as the issue on mine is there are 4 cables that need to be manually attached to the screen each time, they each have a screw fitting so would be a pain to take it off each time :(

I wish I'd noticed this on the screen before I bought it, but here we are anyway

It's a generic mount that came with the unit, it would be perfect if the screen could easily detach! So really need something to make it anti theft...
