How I installed Android Auto on my Suzuki V-Strom 650 motorcycle

It also comes with a pair of front/back cameras + Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).

Finally decided to get an Android Auto/Carplay system for the motorcycle.

It also comes with a pair of front/back cameras + Typre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).

A short ride so far and seems to me this might work out well. The screen is a puny 5" (in this day and age, come on). But very clearly visible.

Took me all of 15 seconds to connect to it. Bluetooth paired and Android Auto automatically came up. I turned it off and on again and within seconds, my phone was paired and AA booted up. Nice!

Service engineer fixed the front camera with some jugaad mount. I like it

I have always maintained that this is the absolute best position to view maps on the go. Minimal head/eye movement, minimal distraction.

But - the accessory bar vibrates like hell. I may end up moving it to the handlebar after testing out further.

Rear camera. Neat position.

I see many of these out in the market now. I just hope they can be more easily available, reliable and have service/warranty which is easily accessible.

P.S.: If anyone (or Google) solves motorcycle routes being accessible via Android Auto, please send a message my way, or a thread TBHP's way
