## What is BMW Motorrad Connected?

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.

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.

### 2/5 — Slow and repeated logins

*2026-08-24, version 5.10.0*

Why do I have to continually log into the app? Also, it’s frustrating with the connected ride having to upload routes from the iPhone only to have them sync on the navigator.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2026-08-14, version 5.10.0*

I often need to delete and reinstall this app. It regularly fails to start Map mode and sometimes doesn’t show the battery status when charging. Often just drops section of rides. It’s really quite poor.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-09, version 5.10.0*

I’d like to say it’s useless but that suggests some part of it is useful

### 1/5 — The worst experience of any app I have ever used. Logs out all the time!!!

*2026-08-02, version 5.10.0*

Every month the horrible app signs you out forcing you to sign in as you are about to jump on the bike wasting time fumbling with your phone to have the app work!!!

And don’t get me started on the fact it only logs trips if it’s running as the main app!!! 

All this when I purchased a $35k bike!!

Never again!!

### 2/5 — Route won’t Cancel

*2026-07-29, version 5.10.0*

I find that if I’m riding following a chosen route and decide to go elsewhere, I am unable to End the navigating route .
Using the wonder wheel - i am able to move onto the correct page and scroll down to End Navigation but then unable to cancel the active navigation, which is so annoying when I turn away from the programmed route and then are constantly asked by app to make a U turn . I have to stop remove my phone from the cradle and manually delete route on the mobile.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-27, version 5.10.0*

Overall the app is OK. One of my pet hates is upgrades that lose your login details. You are about to go for a ride and  and hey you now need to login again

### 5/5 — Super application mais….

*2026-07-20*

J’utilise cette application depuis maintenant presque 2 ans. Elle a complètement remplacé mon GPS TOM TOM rider. Je ne pourrai plus m’en passer.
Cependant j’aimerai que les développeurs de cette appli apporte une amélioration. En effet, même si la programmation des itinéraires est facile à faire sur l’appli et sur smartphone, il sera très très intéressant de pouvoir le faire sur l’ordinateur avec une fonction de synchronisation avec le smartphone.
Merci d’avance.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-07-15, version 5.10.0*

This is by far the worst gps navigation tool I’ve used. Location accuracy is awful when used in conjunction with the TFT on my K1600GT, frequently places me on the wrong road and the map spins erratically while it struggles to keep up. This is dangerous when riding on your across unfamiliar territories and isn’t what I expected when I bought into BMW’s connected ride setup. I’ve had these problems since I bought my 2022 K1600GT and I’m tired of the disappointment with the lack of reliability and distracting failures of connectivity. It’s hopeless. Better to stay well clear of this system and either use a mounted gps or other third party software. I’ll be looking elsewhere for my next bike.

### 4/5 — CE02 interface

*2026-07-13, version 5.10.0*

Maybe it’s just the bike and not the app, but I feel there is potential to do more. Also hardish to record journeys etc.

### 1/5 — Great bike poor tech

*2026-06-30, version 5.10.0*

Got a 2014 BMW 640 coupe if only the function and connectivity of my R18 was as good as that!! Poor show BMW
