BMW Motorrad presented support ConnectedRide Cradle, designed for all those motorcyclists who want to use the smartphone for navigation. The system, as well as being a support to easily use the smartphone as a satellite navigator while driving, it also allows the navigation map and vehicle data such as lean angle, acceleration, deceleration and other parameters to be displayed simultaneously, all via the BMW Motorrad Connected App using the multi-controller knob.
Thanks to the individually adjustable side brackets, the ConnectedRide Cradle fits a large number of smartphones, while also allowing inductive charging according to the Qi standard with up to 7.5 W or by cable via a USB-C connection with up to 7.5 W (1.5 A at 5 V). An LED charge indicator (which can be turned off) provides information on the charge status of the phone.
The ConnectedRide Cradle can be used even on older BMW Motorrad models, adapting to all models equipped with the optional “Preparation for the navigation system (option 272)” – as well as to models equipped with the multi-controller knob and the possibility of adapting the navigation system via the BMW Motorrad workshop system (except for models R 1200 RT, R 1250 RT, K 1600). On older vehicles without TFT instrument cluster, the function can be used via the control device of the “Preparation for navigation unit SA 272”. In order for the vehicle data to be displayed, the “Pro on-board computer (option 221)” function must be present.
The ConnectedRide Cradle cannot be used with the Navigator 4-Button Mount Cradle. Furthermore, in order to be able to use the functions described in the best possible way, it is necessary to use the BMW Motorrad Connected App version 4.0 or higher. A Bluetooth 4.2 connection is required to enable app control via motorcycle controls. Smartphones suitable for the ConnectedRide Cradle have minimum dimensions 130.1 × 65, 5 × 6.9 mm and maximum dimensions 162.5 × 78, 1 × 8.8 mm.
