Hi

Does anyone have a Carpuride unit or similar and what are your opinions of it?

Thanks

Carpuride - any experience?

Post by bluestreak56 » Wed Aug 09, 2023 8:32 am

I bought the new w103 pro with dual Bluetooth for my F26 (NBT not Evo) X4 and while the Bluetooth transmit connects to the car. No audio streams through the cars speakers. I'm wondering if this is because I have the basic Bluetooth option 6NH on my car and not enhanced Bluetooth 6NS which includes BT audio streaming. However, I can stream audio via BT to the car if I directly connect my S22 Ultra to it so now I'm not sure. Also the carpuride definitely will stream BT audio via trasmit as I tested this on an external BT speaker.

Are you able to use BT transmit on the z4?

Also bought the W103 Pro for my Audi as the Bluetooth appears to be faulty, constantly drops and is too old for carplay.

Very pleased with it, only problem is it needs to sit where the Audi's MMI screen would pop up out of the dash. I've removed the fuse so this cannot happen, however.........Unless the MMI is raised it is not powered on, meaning I cannot connect the W103 Pro to the cars speakers.
(I test fitted and connected it using the FM as the bluetooth is faulty and it worked flawlessly)

So I can only use it with the built in speaker which isn't great.
