Useless app, not a single function works properly. Yamaha should look into this asap. Other brands are providing better bluetooth connectivity.

Very much Disappointed with this app, it's frequently get disconnect, I have to connect more than 10time in a daily 70kms commute app keeps losing the connection automatically...

There is no service schedule reminder in this application, auto connect is never working in the app, need to start application every time. Fuel efficiency is displayed incorrectly, it is not correct. I have filled more than 20 liters of petrol till now, but it shows average as per 11 liters which is too much. Correct parking location is never displayed. Front suspension is manufacturing defect in all vehicles but company has not recalled any vehicle. My suggestion is do not buy Yamaha vehicle.
