Anyone tried Ridernav R7M with MRA via AA yet?

[PieterG]

@Adrian-Avram Hi Adrian, thanks for your reply. I had major MRA problems using several Carpuride models via AA. That's why I sold all of them. So I do not agree that Android Auto works the same way regardless of the device I use.

About the link to the review you posted: that guy is not using MRA en not using AA but Carplay..

So, the big question here still is: do you have any experience using MRA > AA > Ridernav R7M ?

[PieterG]

@b0hd1 Thanks for your reply!
Are you using MRA via Android Auto in your review video? (I can't tell by watching it..)

[b0hd1]

@PieterG I've reviewed the video again, and coincidentally, there's no footage of it using MRa. But I assure you it works perfectly, especially after the latest updates. It works on both the R7M and other Android Auto displays (I personally use the Chigee aio-6), and I also have Android Auto in my car. Aside from the lack of visual improvements, MRa's functionality is currently flawless.

@Adrian-Avram The Chigge is better in every way, except that the Chigge is 6" and the R7M is 7". I have reviews of both on my channel. I use the Chigge. I don't think there's anything better (it's not cheap, but it's the best).

@PieterG At this time, MRA is completely reliable on Android Auto.

I totally agree with you on that !

That could be also an issue with you phone and not with Carpuride devices !
Maybe you could state the problems you've had using MRA and Android Auto.

@b0hd1 And what about using the BMW wonderwheel? They say Raidernav R7M implementation is much better and more responsive? (f.i. zooming in and out flawlessly)

And about pricing:
Ridernav R7M costs only Euro 270,-
Chigee aio 6 (with BMW adapter) costs Euro 645,- (LTE model 760,- !)

Is Chigee really worth this kind of major difference?

[PieterG]

@Adrian-Avram I've posted some of the issues last year. No sense to start all experiments all over again, I spend weeks on it and almost became an expert....

My Samsung phone is working perfectly fine since day one in my car via AA with Waze, Google Maps, Sygic (> best AA implementation!) and MRA. But MRA with Carpuride models was, at that time, a disaster (while Waze, Google Maps and Sygic had no problems at all !)

But, on topic, I would like to know who actually tried the new Ridernav R7M | MRA | Android Auto ;-). (not carplay..)

[b0hd1]

@PieterG The Chigee is much faster, smoother, has a better screen, is better built, has more data, and its integration with the Wonderwheel is more complete...than the R7M.

Is the R7M good? Yes.
Is a BMW motorcycle worth it? Is it worth savoring a good wine or a good meal?

The answer is yours alone.

I'll send you a private message. Perhaps I can help you get the Chigee at a better price if you're interested...

@PieterG Since last year, 99.99% of the problems have been fixed. I can confirm that it works perfectly. I was one of the biggest critics of AA and MRA. But truly, after a lot of hard teamwork, the problems have been resolved.
Now we are expecting a major update with visual improvements at the end of this month. But the functionality is perfect.

@b0hd1, yes, you turned 180 degrees!
We are all happy with that!

[b0hd1]

@Con-Hennekens That's right. Thanks to the hard teamwork of Corjan and several collaborators, including myself. Changing equipment and going back to the old, soon-to-be-obsolete tablets wasn't the solution.
