Thanks to the networking with your motorcycle, you can record all the relevant information about your ride if you want. If your BMW motorcycle is equipped with a TFT display and Connectivity, simply connect to your motorcycle with Bluetooth to do this. If your BMW motorcycle does not have a TFT display but does have a Multi-Controller and navigation preparation, then get the ConnectedRide Cradle and turn your smartphone into a motorcycle display. No matter whether you choose the option of “fast” (direct route) or “curvy” (route with a lot of turns), you can always keep your route reliably in view thanks to voice announcements to your communication system and navigation instructions that are easy to see in the display. By using the intuitive Multi-Controller, you can control everything safely without having to take your hands off the handlebars. Want to keep your friends up to date?
