Triumph TR5 / TR6 / Spitfire CarPlay Ashtray Mount

This is a mounting solution for using a Carpuride W702s CarPlay / Android auto screen in Triumph cars that use the same ashtray size. This is currently confirmed as TR5, TR6 and Spitfires (as the original model was developed for the later, and this model has been successfully fitted in both the TRs)

The W702s is designed for motorcycles, but its smaller size and quick disconnect perfectly suits open top cars. To use the mount, remove the ashtray. The screen comes with mounting hardware for a handlebar; remove the 1" ball from the handlebar clamp. It will need tapping out one the screw is removed as the stem is tapered.

Place the ball on the cone and use an M4 screw to secure it - it will pull in to a corresponding taper on the top of the cone. 

Feed the cables from the ‘cradle’ through the hole and slide them along the slot before screwing the cone in place with 3 M3 screws. The holes on the underside of the cone are size for 5.7mm long M3 heat set inserts.

Then use the short clamping arm to attach the cradle to the mount. Clip the mount into the ashtray hole. 

Wiring is going to be up to you - every car is different, considering their age. The kit comes with USB and hardwired options, I opted for USB as I had an outlet on my radio.

Follow the instructions for pairing the screen with your phone and your BT equipped radio. There is no line out as far as I know - but there are a lot of terminals on the cradle so some probing might expose a Line out. Something to experiment with later.

The screen will then work just like any other CarPlay / Android Auto device. Enjoy!
