BMW GS GPS alternative, using your own phone

BMW motorcycle GPS alternative using original "header"
Not wanting to purchase the BMW Garmin unit, happy with your own phone and all the apps and wanting a better way to mount. This worked through the case and no wires to help the ingress of water.

Wondering if the Garmin sat nav I use in the car would fit the cradle as about the same dimensions of the phone.

hey, looks great and a much better choice than the overpriced "official" cradle, Do you know if it works also with an iphone mini? Thanks!

Nice video, cheers for that. Question though… does it charge the phone fast enough, or does your battery percentage drop at all whilst using your mobile for navigation? Ta.

It worked great with no issues of phone discharging. I have moved on to a quad lock fastened to a WunderLINQ but would now invest in a Carpuride or a chigee air-5

I noticed those side wind deflectors and two screws that are holding them. Did you have to drill one of those holes on each side? My 2021 GS 40th Anniv. has only one screw there on top? Thank you for your reply

Hi David, thank you for This video! One question: does it connect to the bike and the app like the BMW connectedride cradle or it's just a wireless charger?
@TrailBreak-Travel 2 жыл бұрын
I don't understand! It's a charger, your phone has the app on it for BMW Connected and also any GPS apps you use

The cradle was already on the bike when purchased. Meant to hold the BMW garmin GPS. All I did was add the wireless charger so I could use my phone in it.

I mounted my iphone 14 ProMax on a QuadLock with a vibration mount.. The problem is its not bright enough, and so is unusable on even cloudy days. I will try a shroud or sun visor, but may buckle and buy a Nav 6 or Zumo xt.

Odd, I have an 11 and use it here in the bright summer sun of GA USA. Could be brighter but certainly usable

If the mount is the same as the GS it will. Alliexpress was the seller. Chinese import. Check out the app and just put in your bike model.

Not secure enough I think. Phone might fall out. Plus over time the vibrations may destroy your iPhone cameras. That’s a common issue with non-dampened phone mounts on motorcycles.
@TrailBreak-Travel 2 жыл бұрын
Mount is dampened it has soft rubber in back and mount is rubberized. I see a lot of Garmin units failing so you pay your money and take your choice.
