About this app

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.

We continuously develop our app for you – and we hope that you'll stay excited to discover its new functions.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Worked fine until the August 2024 update, now my phone will not connect to my R1250RT 2022!! Why do they do this!!! I'm so angry with BMW!! Shocking tech from a supposed premium brand!! Tried reconnecting my phone, Bluetooth works straight away but WiFi connection failing every time!! The icon on the dash is not even blinking now to show connecting!!!! Fuming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update: I have had the bike software updated at BMW Dealer hoping this would solve the issue but it hasn't!!

The only problem I seem to have with this app installed on my Sony Xperia, is that the maps do not replay the route I have selected when in the performance data tabs. The map should be dynamic as it follows the graphs, but it doesn't. I can zoom in and out, but the arrow doesn't follow the position on the performance graphs. I do like all the other aspects, though. UPDATE AUG. 24: I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and now everything seems to be working fine.

This is one of my frustrations. I have a super motorcycle with a GPS that does not accept places where I want to go. Then you download an app that does not connect. Guys, this is BMW. Pay attention. You just release products when it is ready to go. Otherwise don't do it. I wonder if share holders are aware of this issue. Part of experiencing the motorcycle is travel. I need to rely on my senses because these bits were not tested or put together. This is a real weekend breaking point.
