About this app

Get the best out of your rides by transforming your smartphone into a motorcycle tool using the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

Use our app to build dream routes out of waypoints or import routes as a GPX file. The impressions and data you gather on the way will automatically be saved under your rides.

Simply use Bluetooth to connect with your motorcycle—which is equipped with Connectivity and TFT—and establish a connection to your communication system, if present. No matter whether you select winding or direct routes, verbal announcements and arrow indications that are easily visible in the TFT ensure that our app and your motorcycle will safely get you to your destination. Thanks to operation on the handlebars, you not only have navigation, telephony and music right at hand, but you also get an overview of the most important riding or vehicle data at the same time.

Keep other riders updated on your tours by sharing your routes, riding data and photos in an instant—with friends on social media or Rever.

We are continuously refining our app for you. Stay tuned to discover the latest functions.

ApplicationNotices.
• The app is part of BMW Motorrad Connectivity and can only be used actively in combination with vehicles with a TFT display.

To output music, telephony and navigation information, the use of the BMW Motorrad communication system is recommended.
• A mobile Internet connection is necessary to receive traffic data. This can result in costs in accordance with the contract between the customer and provider (such as roaming charges).
• Be aware that the functionality of your smartphone and the connection to the vehicle also depends on national requirements and conditions, and therefore cannot be guaranteed by BMW Motorrad at any time.
• The BMW Motorrad Connected app is displayed in the language configured in the smartphone. Please note that not all languages are supported.
• Continuous use of GPS localization in the background may lead to a reduced battery life.

Ratings and reviews

App crashed so many times on a trip, my phone told me to put it in deep sleep to help the phone run better. Half the time after a stop, it won't reconnect to the bike and I have to shut everything off and try again. As well as logging me out of the app almost daily. During said trip, when I needed navigation, it would crash of course and then come back up without my destination so I had to reenter where I was going no less than 3 times. Incredibly inconvenient, unsafe, and unreliable.

This app is unnecessarily frustrating. It commonly doesn't want to mesh with the motorcycle, drops connection while riding, making it unstable. Some functions are in the app only, which you cannot access while it's meshed with the motorcycle and some functions are while connected through the motorcycle and there is no computer support. You cannot plan a route on your computer, which would be much easier, you can only plan a route using your phone. Apple carplay and Android auto would be better.
