Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #17Zitat von Esquared im Beitrag #16 I'll report back, but give me a bit of time. Will likely be using my existing phone, so have to figure out a replacement, blah, blah, not to mention studying up on getting the most out of it, shaking it down, etc. |

Waiting for your report with baited breath! I'm waiting for mine, about a month if the vendor/ebay are accurate. Eventual master of the obvious |

There are now many videos on youtube about the connected cradle. I keep meaning to mount the gopro on my chest so that it can see the cradle and the dash, but keep forgetting.

My cradle has shipped and due to arrive on Monday, thankfully will have nice weather next week in NY and will get to try it out |

Happy Birthday DavidJR!
Zitat von DavidJR im Beitrag #22 Between cell phones taking up the slack for most people AND the utter failure the Navigator VI was in terms of quality control and ownership issues, that's a smart move. Let people add a GPS if they want one...just make the bike to prompt turns through the phone's map routing feature.

Zitat von jimbob im Beitrag #24 All these cradles plug into the satnav mount on your bike. However, the ones you're seeing on Amazon/Ebay for $30 are, IME, crap. The one I tried didn't charge the phone like it was supposed to and also blocked the lock button on my iPhone, which made it basically useless. The BMW one is an order of magnitude more money, but it also integrates the phone with the bike. It allows you to use the control wheel with the phone, show the map or bike info, etc.

Zitat von jimbob im Beitrag #24 Not one of those on ebay is a connected cradle, it is just a phone mount. The BMW one is the only connected one that will let you use the wonder wheel and the menu buttons to control the phone. The BMW cradle fits into the GPS mount and locks in the same way that a GPS does.

Curious for anyone who has the cradle, how do you pair for music and phone calls? I now (S1000R, selling) pair phone to TFT, and helmet to TFT with no issues and use the connected app for nav through the TFT. |

Zitat von himoverthere im Beitrag #4 have you used the cradle with the phone still in the case/mask? I have a thin mask around my S22 - nothing too thick or those fold-able things just wondering if the connectivity/charging works through it without the hassle of removing it to use on the bike
That guy on a red CBR in January people stare at because it's 0C and they're shivering in a car with heated seats - but he's filtering awaaaay!

Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #28Zitat von himoverthere im Beitrag #4 First, the phone connects to the cradle via bluetooth. As for charging, I use an iPhone 13 Pro with a thin TPU case. wireless charging works fine through the case.

I've just picked up a 2020 RS from a main Motorad dealer. after the test ride I specked up the connected ride cradle. all good, or so I thought. When the very helpful sales guy showed me how to mount and connect the my iPhone 14 pro to the bike, it became apparent that due to the Tripple lens camera, it would not sit squarely in the cradle |
|
. It was then checked by the parts guys, before they concluded that they could not be certain that the cradle would safely hold the phone if the bike was to hit a bump in the road... subsequently they refused to sell me the unit.
