TOURATECH Connect is the companion application for TOURATECH Connect Dongle. The combination of app and dongle allows access to a whole world of thrilling new driving data. Show your performance! Every tour tells its own story. Now you can analyze every ride in detail with the new TOURATECH CONNECT app. It provides dozens of interesting informations out of 8 different functional areas. It also helps to keep your eyes on and share your performance as a rider. The hardware gets the information directly from the CanBus, so it is not effected by the limitations of the ODB2 interface. It is attached there, vehicle-specifically, to existing connection plugs via "Plug'n'Play". Special technical knowledge is not required for this. You receive information from the following areas: Engine (gear, speed, ...) Lighting (turn signals, ...) Brakes (brake power units, forces, ...) Switches & levers (states of lever, side stand, ...) Driving dynamics (acceleration, lean angle, ...) Extremes (slide and drift duration) Special functions (gear changes, driving time, rests recommendation, ...) States (tank filling, ...) In total, more than 60 values for the operating state of the motorcycle and the driving dynamics. The parameters of many functions are preset, but can be customized by the user. You can decide yourself which data you want to see, in which size and on which position they are displayed. You can track up to 36 features on your screen at the same time. TOURATECH CONNECT uses "Bluetooth Low Energy" to guarantee long battery life. Another advantage, other features such as telephony or navigation can be used in parallel. TOURATECH CONNECT remains permanently connected to the motorcycle and as long as ignition is on, it continuously delivers information to the rider's cell phone - during the ride and afterwards. The system works completely OFFLINE, an Internet connection is not necessary. 61 performance data directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Knowing instead of believing!
