BMW Motorrad Connected App Opinions

I’ve been using my iPhone for the BMW Motorrad Connected app ever since I purchased my 2019 C400GT.

Three years ago the app was hit and miss often requiring me to delete and recreate my connection. I also ran into connectivity issues with the navigation to hang.

Today…..it’s been super stable! I did 55+ rides last season and I only had a few issues. The app has been pretty well flawless over the couple years!

I am now considering an dedicated inexpensive Android phone to run the Connected app and wondering about stability.

What is everyone’s experience with the Android phone? iPhone users can also chime in.

I can get my iPhone to connect to the 400. I can get my Cardo Packtalk intercom to connect to my iPhone and my 400.

I can NOT get my Sena intercom (part of my Schuberth helmet) to connect with the 400.

My Vespa connects with everything I throw at it.

I can get my iPhone to connect. I can get my Sena intercom (part of my Sedici helmet) to connect.

But, I seem to be having the issue mentioned by @byee above. My navigation will start and then disconnect, all without moving the bike at all. As I would ride, it would connect and disconnect multiple times.

I downloaded the app today for the first time.

Follow these steps.
1 - make sure your SENA is not paired to your smartphone
2 - delete all connections from your C400
3 - pair your SENA to your C400
4 - pair your smartphone to your C400

This should work for you. The BMW Connected ride app is super stable. Like any other technology, I’ll experience the odd glitch. I’ve logged 45+ days of riding with no more than a couple issues where my C400GT refused to connect. I just had to power off and on the bike to fix.

I hope the information helps
