Oh, oh, the main menu tile option of "ConnectedRide" ?  No idea.

Things are getting a little confusing. I do have a ConnectedRide GPS unit in the cradle. What the TFT shows when an active route is going on the  BMW iPhone app is the next turn.

What I’m wondering is what functions you access when you add the Connected Ride menu item for the TFT using the 911.

Okay, so BMW ConnectedRide is the ecosystem.  The Navigator is the BMW-specific GPS unit that you slot into your nav cradle.

The app on your phone allows you to use nav on your TFT without the expensive Navigator unit.  It does a number of other things as well, as previously mentioned.  The only features I use out of it are the ride route recording on my phone, and the speed limit display on my TFT screen.  I do not use a Navigator GPS unit.

I have the ConnectedRidw GPS so I don’t use the Navigation on the TFT but when I did it displayed the upcoming turn.

Prior to enabling connectedride, what did the navigation entry on your main TFT display's main menu do?

If I don’t have any active navigation then nothing. I just don’t know what adding the Connected Ride menu option does.

I be searching all over but still can’t find out what this does.

I’m sorry I didn’t state correctly what I was getting at. You have the option to add Connect Ride to the menu items on the TFT (My Vehicle, Navigation, Media, Telephone).

I see the Connected Ride when going through the menu option I see Connected Ride but there isn’t an option to select anything under that menu item even though my iPhone is connected to the TFT.

On my XR, the connectedride app fetches and makes available information like the speed limit for your current road.

My phone also records my rides, and available information from the motorcycle like speed, rpms, throttle, lean angle, G forces, etc..  Very nice for when I tag along on a fun route with someone -- I automatically record it.

Hello,

what exactly is ment by the following (that came as a feature with the october 2024 update):


"Enhanced Navigation: You can now enable your XKOMBIHI instrument cluster, to use the BMW Connected app."

I just saw that today. I don’t know how it works with the Connected Ride app on the iPhone. Have you figured out what you can do with it?
