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.

ApplicationNotices.
• The app is part of BMW Motorrad Connectivity and can only be used actively in combination with vehicles with a TFT display. The connection between smartphone, vehicle and communication system, if present, is established wirelessly via Bluetooth. Operation is possible using the multicontroller on the handlebars. 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.

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.

3rd UPDATE: I've ditched my Google Pixel 7a in favor of a Nothing Phone (2) and that apparently made all the difference. Bike detects the phone without having to log out of the app or restart the phone. Traffic works, music works, everything works the way I expect it to. I will say this, support has been very sporadic in communicating with me. I had the response here followed by two email roughly 3 weeks apart from each other. In other words, you're on your own.

Provides a lot of cool info. Navigation works well, love the windy route feature. Connection seems reliable for me on Pixel 5/Android 14. Only complaint is that sometimes I have to manually call up the turn-by-turn on the bike when coming up to an intersection, but I'm not sure that's the app's fault. Update: another issue I have is that it often doesn't show the route on the globe when viewing past rides. Sometimes restarting fixes that, but not for longer rides.
