App summary

Get the most out of your rides by turning your smartphone into a motorbiking tool thanks to the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

Plan your dream route or import routes as GPX files with our app.

As the app is connected to your motorcycle, you have the option to record all relevant information for your ride.

If your BMW motorcycle is equipped with a TFT display and connectivity functions, simply connect to your motorbike via Bluetooth for this.

Your BMW motorbike does not have a TFT display, but it does have a multicontroller and is equipped for a navigation system? Then simply get the ConnectedRide Cradle and transform your smartphone into a motorcycle display.

Whether you select the "Winding" or "Fast" option, thanks to voice commands to your communication system and navigation instructions that are easy to see on the display, you can always keep an eye on your route. The intuitive operation with the multicontroller allows you to safely control everything without having to take your hands off the handlebars.

Do you want to keep your community up to date? Simply share your riding data and photos on social media.

We continuously develop our app for you – and we hope that you'll stay excited to discover its new functions.

Notes for use.
• This app is part of BMW Motorrad Connectivity and can only be used when connected to a vehicle with a TFT display or the ConnectedRide Cradle. The connection is established wirelessly between a smartphone, the vehicle/Cradle and – if available – a communication system via Bluetooth; the app is operated using the multicontroller on the handlebars. We recommend using the BMW Motorrad communication system for listening to music, making telephone calls and receiving navigation instructions.
• A mobile Internet connection is required to access traffic information. This may incur costs in line with the contract between the customer and their mobile provider (e.g. for roaming).
• Please note that the functionality of your smartphone and the connection to the vehicle also depend on national requirements and factors; BMW Motorrad therefore cannot guarantee that it will be available at all times.
• The BMW Motorrad Connected app will be displayed in the language you have set for your smartphone. Please note that not all languages are supported.
• Continued use of GPS tracking in the background may reduce the battery life of your smartphone.

It works well, but You may not share maps with ride. You can share pictures and basic info, but not a map with tracks of your ride. Therefore, you need to install another apps like Riser, Rever, etc. After 2 years I decide to plan a new route for my next trip to Dolomite. I was working with GPS off. My GS was parked (in app) in ljubljana (SLO). The app want me to install 6 new maps from Africa!! From SLO to IT through Africa?? I Was not able to put waypoints. Disappointed again!

Nice, simple, clear, all info, good guidance,.... Nice, simple, clear, all info, good guidance,.... BUT - sometimes I get only the map over the whole screen and seldom I get the version with addtional data, direction, speed, limit.... more like a real navigation app/look. I don't know why and how to change it. Also - the in the TFT mode the selection ring doesn't work at all. Where is the manual for the app?

Mandatory to have it connected to check the mileage, mandatory to allow it to connect audio to the bike, or bike won't show the settings. HOW is that related? Bug.You either get the horrendous audio through the ICC or TFT with third of the usability. Terrible. Oh, I also love how accidental tap on the map list is causing the app to start downloading entire EU (20+GB) with no way to interrupt it. Other than force-stopping app. And having to clear all the storage to delete it. You spoil the bike.
