Munich. For riders who like to use their smartphone
for map navigation, BMW Motorrad now offers the ConnectedRide Cradle.
The ConnectedRide Cradle serves not only as a simple cradle for
comfortably using the smartphone as a satnav while riding. In addition
the navigation map and vehicle data such as lean angle, acceleration,
deceleration and much more can be displayed via the BMW Motorrad
Connected App using the Multi-Controller.
Thanks to individually adjustable side clamps, the ConnectedRide
Cradle is suitable for many different smartphone sizes and charges the
smartphone inductively according to the Qi standard with a maximum of
7.5 W or wired via a USB-C connection with a maximum of 7.5 W (1.5 A
at 5 V). An LED charging indicator (can be switched off) provides
information about the phone’s charging status.
For security, the ConnectedRide Cradle can be locked to the
motorcycle’s holder, if the holder supports this.
The ConnectedRide Cradle can also be used on older BMW Motorrad
models (e.g. BMW R 1200 GS K50) and fits all BMW Motorrad models
equipped with the optional equipment “Preparation for navigation
system (option 272)” – as well as models equipped with
Multi-Controller and the option of retrofitting the navigation
preparation via the BMW Motorrad workshop system (except R 1200 RT, R
1250 RT, K 1600 models). On older motorcycles without a TFT instrument
cluster, operation is possible via the control element of the
“Preparation for navigation unit SA 272”. The prerequisite
for displaying vehicle data is “On-board computer Pro (option
221)”.
The ConnectedRide Cradle cannot be used with the
Navigator 4-Button Mount Cradle.
In order to be able to fully use the functions described, the
BMW Motorrad Connected App version 4.0 or higher must be used. BMW
Motorrad recommends that you always install the latest updates to
ensure proper functioning.
A Bluetooth connection is required to enable the app to be
controlled via the motorcycle’s navigation preparation control
element. The smartphone must be equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy
version 4.2 at least in order to comply with the security requirements
(LE Secure Connections) for the connection. Smartphones with older
Bluetooth versions are therefore not supported.
Bluetooth pairing takes place within the BMW Motorrad Connected
App and is only required once during initial setup.
