About this app

Get the best out of your rides by transforming your smartphone into a motorcycle tool using the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

Use our app to build dream routes out of waypoints or import routes as a GPX file. The impressions and data you gather on the way will automatically be saved under your rides.

Simply use Bluetooth to connect with your motorcycle—which is equipped with Connectivity and TFT—and establish a connection to your communication system, if present. No matter whether you select winding or direct routes, verbal announcements and arrow indications that are easily visible in the TFT ensure that our app and your motorcycle will safely get you to your destination. Thanks to operation on the handlebars, you not only have navigation, telephony and music right at hand, but you also get an overview of the most important riding or vehicle data at the same time.

Keep other riders updated on your tours by sharing your routes, riding data and photos in an instant—with friends on social media or Rever.

We are continuously refining our app for you. Stay tuned to discover the latest functions.

To output music, telephony and navigation information, the use of the BMW Motorrad communication system is recommended.
• A mobile Internet connection is necessary to receive traffic data. This can result in costs in accordance with the contract between the customer and provider (such as roaming charges).
• Be aware that the functionality of your smartphone and the connection to the vehicle also depends on national requirements and conditions, and therefore cannot be guaranteed by BMW Motorrad at any time.
• The BMW Motorrad Connected app is displayed in the language configured in the smartphone. Please note that not all languages are supported.
• Continuous use of GPS localization in the background may lead to a reduced battery life.

Great app. Works well with connected ride cradle. Removing 1 star for all the gravel roads the 'winding' route option has tried to send me down! Update - took a 1600 mile trip last week and this app was a major letdown. In the past it would occasionally have issues connecting to the cradle. This is a constant issue now. It also goes into zombie mode and shows connected but the phone overlay stays on the screen and the bike wheel controls don't work. It also constantly logs you out of the app.

The majority of the app is cool and maybe useful, but the map function is worthless if your phone is doing other things like playing music or making calls. What you need if you plan to use maps is a dedicated phone to only run maps. All of this was an attempt, I think, to avoid putting GPS on the bikes and save some money, but you really do need a dedicated phone or GPS to make it work smoothly.

Probably one of the worst navigation apps I've ever had the displeasure of using. It's the only real way to get navigation on my R1250RT, a $30k bike, and it can't even properly not route me down highways or dirt roads when I tell it to avoid them, and it, on multiple occasions, tried to get me to enter and turn around using private property. There's no way to plan out your route if you want to look at route alternatives to the fastest route. Why couldn't you just do Carplay/Android Auto?
