Anyway to change the GPS on TFT??
(1/1)
shoe1000r:
I'm wondering if there's a way to get Waze or a different GPS to display on the TFT. The BMW one is very basic!!!

Hi Shoe1000r
Not as far as I know, if these devices are not designed/developed to interface with BMW's LIN connection (like Garmin, etc), it would be able to do so. You could however use the BMW cradle for charging, but no way these applications would be able to read the handlebar control commands.
Kind regards and safe travels

For me, driving safely is paramount. If the GPS integrated into the TFT is too simple, does not provide enough information, or is difficult to see, it is better to use an external phone. But using an external phone is distracting and unsafe. Therefore, being able to display Waze or Google Maps directly on the TFT screen is extremely necessary, especially when traveling long distances or entering unfamiliar areas. Accurate traffic information, early warnings about speed, or dangerous spots that Waze provides are indispensable. Car manufacturers should prioritize integrating popular and user-friendly applications rather than stubbornly keeping their systems.
