- Learn in this video, how you can use valuable functions of the BMW Motorrad Connected App via the Multi-Controller and the MENU rocker button with the optional ConnectedRide Cradle. Any BMW motorbike with the optional equipment “Navigation Preparation“ can be fitted with the ConnectedRide Cradle. First you need to adapt the ConnectedRide cradle to your smartphone size. Your dealer can provide you with details about compatible smartphones. Or look it up in the FAQ on the BMW Motorrad website. Removing bulky smartphone cases ensures a tighter safer fit of the ConnectedRideCradle. Untighten the screw and extend the arms. Slide your smartphone in from the top: Screen towards you - charging port typically to the right. Now close both arms by holding the upper arm and the button on the lower arm and tightening the screw again. Unlock the navigation preparation with your vehicle key and open the bracket. Insert der ConnectedRide Cradle by clicking it in with the bottom side first. A green LED indicates briefly when the ConnectedRide Cradle is active. Push in the bracket and lock the navigation preparation. Pull down the bottom arm of the ConnectedRide Cradle to take out your phone.

Hi Diego, thanks for your interest! 😊 Please contact your local dealer for more information. He can advise you best. The local dealer can be found at www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer 😊🙌
I have the Ali Express phone cradle that locks into the BMW Satnav cradle that powers it and charges to phone wirelessly (wired versions available).
The phone works exactly the same using the app.
I paid £12 + Postage and it was delivered to UK from China within 5 days. BMW Motorrad guys tried my cradle at my last service and couldn't fault it. Good luck with the BMW price!
Hi, do you have the referral link? I have a BMW 900 XF and I already have the support base. Bye thank you
LOVE IT!!
I like the BMW M 1000 RR Competition Carbon fiber and the M winglets are so beautiful ❤️
So simple and easy.
Perfect way to describe it! 💯
Hey @bmwmotorrad, as a new user of your cradle I miss one thing: The ability to control music as an option in the connected app tabs. It would be enough to add one tab in the app and you wouldn't have to go from the NAV menu to the TFT every time you want to change a song
There goes the hope for a Nav 7.
Beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 👍 👍 👍
Warning. While the Cradle worked well for me, the bottom arm just broke last week. This is a very thin piece of plastic and it snapped at the base of the U shape, on both sides simultaneously. I purchased it less than a year ago, used it maybe a total of 12 times (not needed for daily commutes). With this piece broken the phone is not secured and the whole cradle is useless. I would not recommend this very expensive accessory based on this.
I’ve had the same experience unfortunately….
Why does the cradle not fit in the 4 button Navi holder ?
Is it fited to r1200rs 16 ?
Then if you connect the phone to the cradle, you don’t need to connect to the TFT?
where can i buy it, buy link?
Order Code/Part Number for this please!
Thank you for reaching out. This is the part number of the ConnectedRide Cradle: 77521691964
Please contact your local dealer for orders! 😊
@@bmwmotorrad Thankyou so much. I've been searching for days and not found it mentioned on any of the BMW Motorrad press releases or web pages about it.
That's what we are here for! 😊 You are welcome.
@@bmwmotorrad your website in the US states" NOT FOR SALE. No longer available for purchase" can you explain?
Hi Mike,
thanks for your question! 😊Please contact your local dealer for more information. He can advise you best. The local dealer can be found at www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer. 😊🙌
I wonder if it will be introduced in Japan. .. ..
No, it's impossible because the app can't be used.
If it's introduced in Japan, it's great!
Does it physically fit in the housing of a 2019 K1600 or an analogue dash R1250RT?
From the looks of it, you have to have to Motorrad Nav Preparation Kit, I don't think it will fit in the dash of the K1600. Also on BMW Motorrad Instagram, there is a countdown clock for a CZcams live in 3 days. Where you can ask questions.
Green LED isn't blinking on my cradle what's the solution?
Oh wow, I love the fact it integrates with the whizzy wheel. What's the cost & availability?
Cradle has nothing to do with connecting to the wonder wheel, that's all in the app.
@@robnye5927 isn’t that what I said?! 😂 clearly the wonder wheel will only work in the BMW Connected App that’s running on the phone. But credit where credit is due they’ve made massive improvements to the app and this Bluetooth integration is a great idea.
@@robnye5927 Is it? I never got that working and seeing that the cradle needs to pair with the phone makes me think it enables this function (although I don't see why that would be necessary besides having to pay BMW for it).
@@casper-3 Id agree, you have to switch the the wonder wheel from TFT to GPS for it to operate either system, guess when you have the new cradle installed it switches between TFT and Phone. Maybe?
I have a cuestión, if my bike is a 2016 model, I can use it without the TFK ? Or this is only for the new models?
Hi Giordann, for attaching the BMW ConnectedRide Cradle, the navigation preparation is required (available separately). It still depends on the model you have but if it has the navigation preparation, it will work. 😊
I've got a complaint about ConnectedRide Cradle. Unfortunately, my phone just flipped off from the cradle while I was riding at 85 mph on the highway with my S1000XR. My old phone had a curvy structure (Samsung S22 Ultra) on the edges. I had to buy a new phone, which was Samsung S23 Ultra. I've applied a small pressure like assuming wind is coming below the phone, it is getting out easily. You need to produce a lot way better cradle to hold any type of phone (curvy edges) on the market. Now I'm selling it. :( Please report this issue to your research and development department.
how can i buy?
Die Vibrationen des Motorrads können die Kamera von modernen Smartphones mit optischem Zoom nachhaltig schädigen. Wurde bei dem Cradle etwas zur Minimierung von Vibrationen getan?
Guter Punkt! Die Metallhalterung ist ja bereits durch die Gummipuffer etwas entkoppelt. Vielleicht könnte man hier auch noch etwas weichere Gummis verwenden.
Excellent point. that is the key question to be answered. I imagine that if this was taken into consideration, BMW would be shouting out laud that this vibration issue is resolved and covered by this product. Silence from BMW makes me thing otherwise though.
Dein Smartphone wird vom ConnectedRide Cradle mit Gummielementen umschlossen. Des weiteren verfügt die Halterung selbst über Gummielemente, die sie von Vibrationen entkoppeln.
Dadurch gelangen keine feinen Vibrationen an das Smartphone und es ist ausreichend geschützt.
please can you tell me where i can purchase this cradle?
Thank you for your interest! Please follow the link to find your local dealer and place any orders: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/dealer.html
When will it be available? Didn't find it on the BMW Website
I think in 3 days, I say this because on BMW Motorrad Instagram, there is a countdown clock for a CZcams live in 3 days for this.
In the EU it is already available. The other markets will follow soon in the coming weeks and months.😉
@@bmwmotorrad Any idea on UK price and availability?
@@haydnwalker1044 My Ali Express phone cradle locks into the BMW Satnav cradle that then powers it and charges the phone wirelessly (wired version is available).
The phone works exactly the same using the app.
Difference with BMW, I paid £12 + Postage and it was delivered to UK from China within 5 days. BMW Motorrad mechanics tried my cradle at my last service 5 weeks ago and couldn't fault it.
@@vacoas04 I have one of these also however the idea of using the whizz wheel to control the maps appeals to me…if it’s expensive I’ll be sticking to what I’ve got :-)
Please someone tell me this has wireless charging too??
Because one I have from Aliexpress has.
Yes, It will support some model phones with Wireless charging.
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)
So dont expect it to charge 🤣
This doesn’t seem like it would work for bikes with the new 10.25” TFT?
Yes it doesn’t work with the large TFT display, but it works with a broad variety of other models like the displayed S 1000 XR here in the studio. With the large displays, you always have these functions integrated into the screen.😉
I just picked one up today, tested it on my brothers android phone and my wife’s iPhone 8 Plus, wireless charging works fine. With my iPhone 13 pro max however it won’t reliable wireless charge. Not sure what’s going on but I have tested it on another iPhone 13 pro max and same issue. Seems like the wireless charging feature is not compatible with a 13 pro max
Hey! A bit late to the party, but how does your phone in the cradle? Do you use a case?
I’ll just stick to the built in Sat nav on my s1000rr M package, I hate seeing bikes with the phone in a cradle, also. Defeats the Purpose of having it on the dash we have already
Price?
Work on addriod phone as well right?
Hi, thanks for reaching us and we are glad you like it! ☺️ Correct, you can use the BMW Motorrad Connected App on android phones. 😉
My Florida dealer never heard of this. They called you. Apparently it is not available in the USA? Would be nice to notify your dealers and owners. But what do I know.
Hi Robert, thanks for your message! ☺️ Please get in touch with our customer service hotline to learn more about the availability in your market (www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/info/contact.html).

Ab welchen Baujahren funktioniert das? Was muss das Motorrad für Vorraussetzungen haben?
Hallo Christian,
hier findest Du eine Liste mit welchen Motorrädern das ConnectedRide Cradle kompatible ist. Eine zusätzliche Navigationsvorbereitung ist notwendig zur Befestigung am Motorrad.

@@bmwmotorrad Danke für die Antwort! Hab mir das Teil schon besorgt für meine 1250er GSA. und bin fürs erste echt Begeistert wie gut das funktioniert. Fehlt nur das Wetter zum Testen…
Hallo Christian, das freut uns! Wir sind auf Dein Feedback gespannt!😊
soo... its a phone holder?
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)
BMW needs to bring their asses into the year 2021 where even QI achieves 15W or 3 A and they can't even make it with cable getting 3A

@@bmwmotorrad Hallo, Samsung S20FE
This is WAY more complex than the Alibaba smartphone variant that I have for years, which costs €12. Good luck competing with that
And better charging capabilities
Does it work with iPhone 14 pro?
definitely no !
why couldn’t they have integrated an audio player into the BMW app? Not really worth it.
I drove across a hole and the phone went out and I never found it
Would it work with iPad mini?
Hi, thanks for your question! No, it would not. The maximum size is 162,5×78,1×8,8 mm, so the iPad mini would be too wide.
@@bmwmotorrad It seems that an iPhone 13 Pro Max would fit perfectly?
Exactly. 😉
@@bmwmotorrad Just let us know the part number I will order right now. I don't think my local dealer knows about this cradle yet. :)
part number is ? thanks..
Does it support iphone 15 pro max?
Without a case only, and due to a camera bump, wireless charging doesn't work, you need to use cable instead, having mixed feelings about it. I have several bikes with quad lock and don't want to remove phone from a case each ride. I'm deciding to buy either a navigator 7 or slimmer phone. Phone still have many advantages, like the option to use different app etc. I've already checked Samsung Galaxy 24, it have similar camera configuration as iphone does, but thinner. When I compared it side by side, Samsung camera lens ends up on iphone array's first bump. So in total it's a good 2,5mm thinner - combo s24 + peak design case could work. Problem is, they don't have the case in stock yet, it have been announced just recently and season is starting 😂.
@@peterhubek thank you!
Be good if you could get hold of one !!!!
That must be cool! Please ensure to let us know once you have it in your garage 🤗
Sat nav 6 just got made redundant
Yeah. Nav software was slow not great. Now issue is that phones aren't as robust as the nav is also glove friendliness
It would be pretty cool if it had wireless charge.
Thanks for your feedback! The ConnectedRide Cradle is suitable for many different smartphone sizes. It 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). Further, an LED charging indicator (can be switched off) provides information about the phone’s charging status. Please find more details here: www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0359072EN/bmw-motorrad-presents-the-connectedride-cradle 😊🙌
Oh, wow, BMW has invented a phone holder in 2021. I'm impressed.
Does the BMW TFT Bluetooth still keeps forgetting devices?...
Most annoying thing on the TFT. Especially when my SENA disconnects
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) dont be to happy their charging is still year 2000
260 € of support and wireless charging does not work with iphone! very very bad!!!
Awesome idea, but you've forgotten one key thing! Vibration destroys the latest iPhones cameras, so your cradle 'must' have a built in vibration dampener designed into it (see Quad-locks version for instance) for it to be viable. It's a better solution that Honda's Apple Car Play/Android Auto, or Ducati's Sygic. But you've got to better protect people's very expensive iPhones, and they must be able to charge in your wireless cradle 'without' removing them from their protective outer covers when fitted.
I guess you didn't watch the intro video. Has vib dampening integrated.
@@richardshipp6996 GTK Richard, thanks for sharing! 👍
It's two year that I'm using another cradle and no problem at all
Bmw gibi bir markanın, günümüzde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılan büyük ekranlı telefonları sığdıramama problemini çözememiş olması, hayal kırıklığıdır.
The fast charging on this cradle is hopeless
After removing your phone bumper thanks to BMW phone water logging has become a global issue 😅
I purchased the same thing from ebay for $90 it also has wireless charger, why would BMW supply this when they want to sell their way overpriced garmin GPS
The Garmin GPS or Nav 6 came at 99 euro with a new bike when i bought my GS last month. The advantage is that you can command your smartphone through the wonderwheel with the cradle. However your camera with stabilising lense will be buggered within a matter of hours.
@@mauzzie1977 you might be correct if you use Chinese built iPhone ! Never had any problems with Samsung (:-)
As the owner of one of these, I am thoroughly unimpressed with its inability to work as described. This is an incredibly expensive piece of kit, and because BMW refuses to invest the time and resources into bringing the ConnectedRide App to a serviceable standard, it effectively means that all this cradle is, is a very very expensive wireless charger as the ConnectedRide App refuses to maintain a stable connection with the cradle. my advice to anyone considering one of these, save your money and buy a wireless charger elsewhere.
...and then it rains....
Was just thinking the same when I saw the guy take his phone out the case 🤦🏻♂️ Obviously not for use in most European countries.
@@hamiltne is you phone not waterproof. 3 different Samsung phones in past 3 years and European rains have never been an issue on my bikes!
@@vacoas04 Correct - However I dont trust what the manufacturers claim ;)
Using a phone should have been stated by BMW is 'at your own risk'. Plenty of stories where handlebar vibration has wrecked phone cameras never mind the poorer weather protection. Perhaps use a sacrificial phone; assuming your eyesight is up to reading any screen text?
Totally agreed, I have seen several cases where the vibrations destroyed the camera stabilization and becomes completely useless. I´m surprise BMW develops something like this without covering this issue by making a strong statement that they took this fact into consideration and developed a super product that protects the device against the natural bike vibration, especially for Adv bikes.
@@pablohaase7091 on the video it states it has vibration dampening
@@watkinson2241 I know. I just wonder if its enough
This is very much like the Navigator 6 and 5: Overpriced underperformance BMW GPS devices.
Cost me SGD480 (USD346 or EUR327) to hold my phone in place and charge it wirelessly--very slowly. Nothing else.
You can't use Google Maps!!! You must use the BMW Connected's downloadable maps. I use the bike in Japan: they don't provide a map for Japan.
If you want a GPS navigation, use your phone`s Google Maps: always up-to-date, reliable and fast... If you want a dedicated GPS navigation device, get something else and stay away from BMW Navigator 5, 6 and this cradle. For about USD50 you can get unbranded Chinese-made cradles that do the same thing and are compatible with the BMW docking (power source); they will allow you to use Google Maps, hold-in place and charge your phone.
Perhaps in Europe and USA the downloadable maps are high in detail and timely updated, but still, it is something of 20 years ago. Nobody download maps nowadays, they use Google Maps.
The bike info feature? It's the same as what you get on the Navigator 5 and 6... on your phone. Yeah, now you have the bike leaning angle indicator...Cool but uselese information.
The operation with that BMW counterintuitive scroll doughnut and up/down arrow switch is awkward at best, and is horrible with the cradle and the Connected app.. At the end you have to do things when you are stopped, not while riding.
It is frustrating to buy another BMW expensive device that delivers nothing. Once you start the Connected app, that is only what your phone can do. The app takes over, and you can`t get other apps or functions to work unless you shut down the BMW Connected app.
I had 6 bmw bikes so far, I loved each one of them, but BMW is terrible on the GPS navigation department. BMW:please give-up and focus on the wonderful bikes... Or get someone to do it right for you, like Google.
Completely agree. They really just need to support a standard Garmin/Tom Tom GPS and the wheel is terrible.
@@paulturner2489 The wheel is cumbersome and counterintuitive.
259€.. !!! Are you serius?
Infatti li useranno da metterli sotto i piedi dei tavoli in baviera per non farli ballare😂😂😂😂
Broked my iPhone 13 pro camera twice.
Would have liked a mechanical option to only remove your phone with the key. Thieves nowadays target motorcycles at intersections.
Thank you for your feedback, we take it very serious! The opinion of our community is very important to us because you have the best experience with our motorcycles and items. If you have any other suggestions for improvement, you can always let us know. We will pass it on to the responsible departments.
What a disappointment. Looks like you cannot use this with cases. It only has 7.5W charging and the mounting method is poorly designed. The cheap third party wireless charging mounts have a spring loaded mechanisms which allows for quick mounting and dismounting of your phone and they work with cases on. The connectivity features to control your phone via the wonder wheel do not require this mount to work, however BMW have locked the software so they are only activated if the mount is paired to the app. That is really poor from BMW if you ask me as they could enable this feature for any mount.
Are you sure about that? For me It would be perfect to use my Quadlock with wireless charging and vibration dumper controlling app via wonder wheel. Cradle looks ok but what about vibration? this is my biggest concern.
Prefer Apple car play and Android auto.
Thanks
Apple CAR PLAY android AUTO is not motorcycle
Just sell a Bluetooth dongle and allow us to use a better quality quad lock
$260 for this thing that China has been selling for $30?
craddles from china dont support multicontroler - u cant compare it...
@@inDUSTweTRUST76 you can, and i did, and i went with $30. BMW’s navigation is terrible anyway, so the abilty to control their app with the wheel is of no value
@@rbinatorr7761 can u share a link of recommended craddle?
This cradle destroys IPhone camera after 2-3 hours of riding from shaking. S1000xr. Happened twice to me. Beware of this product ☠️
And if you have an accident and your phone/bike is fifty feet away from you, your leg is broken (or worse), good luck calling for help. Keep your phone in your pocket.
That's a very unlikely scenario and a very negative way to live your life
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
On my first ride my 13 mini phone flew out of it at around 140km/h, got totally smashed. I lost all faith in this device. It’s a complete ripoff and a useless piece of equipment unfortunately.
£200 😂😂😂 yeah right BMW
What an over engineered bulky thing...
Your product cost me 1.000.$ .. My Iphone 14pro slipped away from cradle on the highway. You guys should definitely put a notice for supported devices. Anyone using Iphone14pro ? Just stay away from this product !!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
