If you are like me, one of the first things I tried to do when I got my Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro was connect it to my iPhone using the My Triump app, only to be met by the most frustrating experience of connection errors and other glitches.
In this video I show you how to connect your bike and your iPhone, and use it for turn-by-turn navigation, as well as using GPX files and saving rides.

Thanks for your video! I managed to finally get it to work. I have also, after a few attempts, managed to open the GPX files with the Triumph app and I wanted to add that if you go to where you have the file saved, and open it via the share button, then you select the Triumph app, it will open without giving you any errors. (This is with iPhone) not sure if it is the same with android phones. You can also change the file from .txt to .gpx and the app will recognise it.

Good tutorial thanks. Couple of comments. Plug your phone into power, either under the seat or to the accessory points. The Triumph app sucks the phone battery fast, especially using Nav. Advanced setting up the instrument hub to connect to mobile and Senna comms is even more complex and add a pillion even more so 😵‍💫 Frustration point is the instrument hub volume controls do not work with the Senna. Not sure about other motor bike comms systems? Triumph won't help either and forget asking the dealership!

Such an awesome and clear video. I stumbled upon having it connect randomly, and I think the main point I was missing is returning to the main screen to have the Nav pairing finished doing its thing. All of my milage data comes through, however, Nav never works. When I enter an address and hit start I always get a message on the app get a message saying the app isn’t paired and to pair again. I’m on 1.2.7 and my Bluetooth settings show both Tiger Bluetooth devices are connected. It’s so frustrating. Maybe VINs aren’t in sync. Any ideas?

@australianadv Жыл бұрын

Hard to know for sure, but it is probably something to do with how iPhones actually have two simultaneous Bluetooth connections, one for audio and one for navigation. Just to check, are you going through the whole process in the video? There are two pairings in total. Other than that maybe trying restarting the phone and then “forgetting” the bike in Bluetooth settings (both connections) then trying again from the start. Good luck!

Do you feel like this is in any way more useful than using Beeline or a Zumo XT? Obviously those are external devices, but the amount of hassle with the pairing and the app leaves me pretty discouraged. Thanks for making this video, though. I was beginning to think I was technically deficient. 😂

@australianadv 3 ай бұрын

It’s not as useful as an external device, and I usually just mount my phone on the bars and use that for navigation. It looks nice when I can be bothered to put though. Also handy on dirt where the vibrations can damage phone camera if it’s on a mount.

So … my iPhone 11 Pro Max appears connected (both for audio and GPS) but … when playing audio from the phone to my helmet (which connected to the phone and NOT the bike), fast forward and rewind change the tracks but pause and play (via the joystick) cause the iPhone to switch from my headset to the bike … which isn’t connected to any speakers ! And, when the phone is connected (or seems to be), I try and start a route and get the ‘not paired’ error. It takes me through the GPS pairing process, successfully pairs but I’ve lost the route and have to redo it. When re-entered, I click ‘start’ and …. Get the ‘not paired’ error again ! And that’s the loop I’m stuck in. Any thoughts on that ?

@australianadv Жыл бұрын

I don’t have Bluetooth device in my helmet so can’t test, but it sounds like the phone is struggling to maintain Bluetooth connection to both helmet and bike at the same time. The mystery is why it would allow forward and back, but not pause and play. A bit beyond me, sorry.
