- Learn in this video how you can download and install the BMW Motorrad Connected app.
The BMW Motorrad Connected app allows you to navigate and exchange data with your connectivity-equipped BMW motorcycle. You can download the BMW Motorrad Connected app from Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store.
After installing and opening the app, it shows you what’s new. Accept the terms and conditions by checking the box and clicking on ‘Accept’. Depending on your mobile device, different permissions may be needed and the required choice to make it work may not be what you would have expected in the first place. Therefore, make sure to read the explanations carefully before making a choice. For the best possible experience with the BMW Motorrad Connected app, allow the app to always access your GPS position when activating tour recording, record speed and embed photos automatically. After accepting, agree to the legal notes. Please connect your motorcycle within the trial period of 14 days. After the trial period has elapsed, the app will stop working until a connectivity-equipped motorcycle is connected via Bluetooth.
On the start screen, you’ll find all the info you’ll need like weather, your ridden tours and your bike’s service status. When clicking on the second tab - Map -, you will need to download the maps of your desired regions or countries before being able to navigate. When downloading, please use Wi-Fi due to the size of the files. Automatically, it suggests the map data of the region in which you are at the moment. Worldwide map data is included and can be downloaded anytime. When downloading, please do not close the app. By clicking the third app tab, you can access your tours if you allowed tour recording. Set per default, every tour longer than 10 minutes or 2 km is stored. Feel free to change these settings, for instance, increase the minimum driving duration or distance to exclude daily commuting.

When will BMW Motorcycles receive Apple Carplay? Some other bikes have it and it work great!! Cmon BMW Motorrad!!
BMW doesnt want to pay for it.
I have been using this app with my bike and find it very good 👍🤟
Hi do you know if you can add POI with name or Waypoints symbol with name in BMW app
I have tried to add waypoint for coffee stop etc, can see them in Garmin Basecamp but do not show in BMW app
I have a 2018 R1200rt. Am I right to understand that I need the cradle to connect the bike to the app? Without it I can only use the navigation setting? But if I don’t use the cradle the 14 days trial will be over.
According to the K16 manual the Nav Function needs a WiFi hotspot and the K16 phone holder looks a mess. Is it possible to permanently put an old phone in that holder just for WiFi connectivity and use my regular phone for Bluetooth media and calls? If that's possible then is it possible to turn the SOS SIM into a WiFi hotspot and subscribe to T mobile like a BMW car? This would be a more elegant solution.
Hi,
I have been using this app for three years. Unfortunately didn't find the option to add a new bike without loosing all trips with previous one. Of i just delete the old bike, I received warning I will loose all trips. Is there any option to archive old bike and keep trips?
Smarter than me😃😃😃
Wonderful application. I don't need a navigator for day-to-day life, nor for road trips. I only use the navigator / Gps for off-road use.
And a 10 also for communication with my dealer Bmw Fersan San Juan - Alicante - Spain. Any questions are resolved in minutes.

I have a 2022 RT LE, the app worked with my Pixel 6 Pro, however as I dropped it whilst fitting it in I have opted for a permanent phone in the compartment, the challenge is that this phone a Huawei P20 Pro, will connect via Bluetooth, and seems to have a wi-fi direct connection, however map mode just won't start. I've worked in IT for 40 years so I do have a pretty good idea how things work 🙂 It's really frustrating, I have deleted all connections, reinstalled the app, nothing. Reading some forums it appears I am not alone.
The 2021 RT has a wireless charging compartment, which is essential for connectivity due to the increased battery usage for navigation. But there are is some confusion as to the dimensions of the compartment. According to the Configurator, the dimensions are 140 x 70 x 7.5. This would make it too small for the current Apple 12 Pro models. But if I follow the User Manual the dimensions are 162 x 78 x 8.8mm, making it even accommodating for the biggest iPhone (the 12 Pro Max is larger by 0.1mm in the width).
Could BMW provide some guidance for a potential buyer like me? I don't want to downsize my phone just because you couldn't make a compartment big enough on a already very large bike.
Hello Georg,
thank you for your message regarding the different dimensions of the charging compartment.
The reason that the numbers differ is that the 140 x 70 x 7.5mm sized compartment is designed to fit phones that need to be connected via USB cable like the iPhone 8 or the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The 162 x 78 x 8.8mm sized compartment is for phones that can be charged wireless like the iPhone XS Max or the iPhone 8 Plus.
So this would make your iPhone 12 Pro Max (158 x 77,8 x 8,1mm) fit into the charging compartment (without case).
Best regards, your BMW Motorrad Team
On my 2019 R1250RT there is no option to pair a phone in the Bluetooth settings, only Helmet 1 and Helmet 2. How do I pair the phone with the bike?
I have a 2022 R1250RT and a Sena 10R headset, I have the headset paired to the bike and my iPhone 14 Pro paired to the bike. The iPhone is not paired to the headset. While using Navigation the audio is thru the speakers, does not come thru the headset... If I turn on the radio, audio is thru the headset. Also, audio is thru the headset while using media or phone... What can I do to get the audio thru the headset while using navigation ?????
When will BMW add wireless CarPlay to the R1250RT? I want to use Waze or Maps with their love traffic and routing updates.

@@bmwmotorrad Not helpful when trying to make a purchasing decision, especially at this price point. This plus the issue with no audio system for the RT (although it's shown on the rest of the model's website page) with no clarification isn't confidence inspiring.
To be completely fair, the bike 2021 1250rt is fantastic , no complaints whatsoever, but quite frankly, the app has been an utter disappointment. Even getting fuel becomes a dreaded experience. Seriously, so many times the app will not connect. When riding with friends, it’s become an embarrassment, as it takes far far to long to reconnect. IF it reconnects at all. I’m always afraid to turn off the bike to get fuel. Today no map mode. I completely gave up and never connected again. Total bummer
,
I have a problem because I can't find a way to keep my mob from locking. I solved it on the last model s22ultra, but on s24ultra I can't do it at all
May I ask is the connected app is free? I'm confused with the message given. 14 days trail then if connected to bike get free 6 month and automatic extend 6 month for each new connection.
Why does my app show I have two vehicles when I only have one? Half my rides are recorded on one vehicle and half on the other. I only have one RT but I deleted the second one and it deleted half of my rides. Then I rode again today and it created another vehicle again. Do you know why this is happening.?
Nice... however does not say anything about hoe to actually connect the app with the bike. 😢
Having just bought the new 1250rt wich i have to say i am loving the bike but the app sometimes works with my helmet which is an interphone sports system. But wont charge my phone (samsung A21s software 11) I am told it has the laitest software on the bike ? can you help bmw
I'm using a Samsung S10e on my new RT and it works well so far. I paired my phone to the RT and allowed it to connect and then paired my comms with the bike. I did not pair my comms with my phone as the comms instructions wanted. I now have phone the charging, plus navigation, phone calls and music - If I run into the back of a truck you'll know why.
After pairing your phone to the bike, turn everything off to make sure it reconnects when you start it again, then pair your comms. On your phone make sure induction charging is on.
Hi , is it the good one for s1000r 2021 ?
Hello Simon,
right. The BMW Motorrad Connected App is compatible with the BMW S 1000 R.😉
My navigation stops when my phone screen turns off or when my phone is locked. I heard this is not supposed to be the case. I use a Samsung Note 20 ultra. Anyone has been able to solve this issue?
How do you slow the voice on the navi system? She speaks WAY too fast
Works on my gs1250 but nothing on the rt1250. The app shows the gs but can't get it to show the rt. Why?
Hi, in general, the BMW Motorrad Connected App is also available on the R 1250 RT. However, as a remote diagnosis is really difficult from here, we would kindly ask you to contact your local dealer. He can surely help you out! You will find him on our website: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer.
All the best,
your BMW Motorrad Team
soo, you're telling me that I can't use this app to control music in my headphones and that I absolutely need a in-helmet audio BT system??? That's the surprise I had when I was planning my first big trip with my full option 1200GSA 2018 and was soooo disappointed that the app won't work if you don't have an in-helmet system connected through bluetooth... The thing is I have ear malformation and MUST use intra-oricular earpieces, with music or not because I hear too loud (even with the system 7 helmet, which is very good) Also, the navigator VI that was a total bust, after 3 replacements, I had a refund. So now I got a GPS craddle that is useless and nothing mounts on it. I felt so let down by the connectivity feature that I can never use. But, there's hope, it's only a software issue and perhaps, you fixed that since 2018. I'll try tomorrow and will provide feedback here.
Logged out of the app and logged back in and was able to download UK North …..FIXED………forget that, stopped again 🤔
Not available in China
00:18 he should be using the German keyboard 👀
Cannot download any maps,keeps saying something went wrong please try again.
I have plenty of storage space and all settings are turned on.
Very frustrating.
Getting the same
@@bovrilsarnie I even tried it with a brand new IPad and its the same thing as well.I feel like it’s an App issue.I reached out to BMW via Email so we’ll see what they say
Nice one. I’ll do the same so the don’t think it’s a user issue
Looks like it might be fixed, I tried randomly Guatemala and it worked when all failed yesterday, Northern Ireland next not that I need it, worked, all uk now downloads, annoyingly UK North still not working but the rest have. Hope that’s ok for you too👍👍
@@bovrilsarnie I just tried again and still not working,Uninstalled and reinstalled twice and still the same.Maybe depending on Region some are downloadable
doesn't work in China ......
