NEW TABLET - PRE ORDER PRICE! (delivery end of march)
Caretta is a completely new breed of navigation device. It combines the ruggedness of hardware purpose-built for motorcycles, quads, and side-by-sides with the versatility of Android.
Unlike traditional sat-navs, Caretta offers full compatibility with the Google Play Store. You can use any Android app and especially any GPS navigation app just as you would on a normal Android tablet or your cellphone.
Done riding? Take it off your bike and do you social, emails, browse the Web, listen to Spotify, watch Netflix, play a game …
Every feature below sets Caretta apart. It is a one-of-a-kind device offering unbeatable price-to-value.
Why is a purpose-built device better than a generic industrial tablet? It is the difference between a tool adapted for the job and a tool born for it. Industrial tablets are engineered for warehouses and construction sites, not handlebars. Even with modifications, a tablet is limited by a design intended for a different environment. Caretta is built for the ride!
Design specific Features:
- Ultra-Durable Construction: Chassis and cradle parts are molded from highly resilient, glass-fiber filled nylon for maximum durability and toughness.
- 7-inch Ultra-Bright Display: 1920x1200 resolution with 2,200 nits brightness for perfect visibility in direct sunlight.

Dimensions
- Caretta: (LxWxH): 194x129x22-33mm (triangular cross-section)
- Cradle: (LxWxH): 203x165x50-56mm (triangular cross-section)
LTE compatibility:
Caretta's LTE section is designed for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa). Although technical compatibility with some networks outside this region is possible, it is not guaranteed. In other than EMEA regions, Caretta should be considered Wi-Fi only. National specifics outside EU may apply to GSM network connectivity beyond the technical compatibility - in case of doubt, check with your GSM operator before purchasing. Fully compatible within EU.
OBD adaptor cables:
- KTM, Husqvarna: all CAN bus models with 6 pin socket
- Yamaha: all CAN bus models with 4 pin socket
Support for other bikes in the planning.
Cradle
It’s not just a holder. It’s a smart cradle.
This cradle is packed with electronics designed to push the boundaries of what a navigation device can do on a motorcycle.
- Ultra-Durable Construction: Molded from highly resilient, glass-fiber filled nylon for maximum toughness and all-around protection.
- Smart Power Management: Designed for direct 12V connection with embedded voltage stabilization. It handles electrical spikes and prevents vehicle battery drain via an automatic sleep mode. Reverse polarity, overvoltage and overheat protection as well as auto-reset fuse included.
- Safety Logic: The connector pins are "live" only when Caretta is inserted. This prevents short circuits if the exposed cradle is hit by water or metal objects when the device is removed.
- Quick-Release Blade Connectors: Allows for instant docking—on and off the bike in seconds. It provides a connection robust enough for any terrain (eliminating the need for the external M8 connectors used on CI Pads).
- Hardwired Integration:
- Controllers: Direct connectivity for external remote controllers and other accessories.
- OBD: Direct cable connection to the bike's OBD (no Bluetooth dongle needed) via Carpe Iter Adapter Cables.
- BMW: Plug-and-play on BMW models with socket for BMW Navigator via Carpe Iter BMW Adaptor Cable (other models in planning).
- Advanced Vibration Isolation: A "free-float" system using high-quality silicone dampers isolates the device mounting points from the chassis, preventing the transfer of high-frequency engine vibrations.
- Smart Retention Mechanism:
- Intuitive: Slide-and-click insertion with a simple push-lever release.
- Lockable: prevents theft of opportunity.
- Manual Override: The lever is bi-directional. If mud or debris clogs the spring mechanism on the trail, you can manually force the latch closed to secure Caretta in place until you have time to clean it.
- Installation: Features front-facing mounting holes for easy access during setup.
Mounting: For the default landscape orientation any mounting solution can be used. For portrait orientation you need Carpe Iter AMPS base for Caretta, which compensates for triangular shape of Caretta and the cradle.
