It looks very nice when installed. It fits nicely without the cover. If you got it at half of the price it was a great deal in my opinion. Take care Matt.

I could have bought aftermarket for much less. But opted for the convenience of knowing it would work with little hassle.

If the cradle is partially blocking the TFT view, you can adjust the cradle to tilt up more and that helped me see the TFT in fullscreen.

I am planning on adjusting it when I get the larger screen. It looks like a simple job.

The nice thing is that if you still need navigation, you can use it for that as well by downloading the maps to your phone.

Definitely gives you more options than just a sat nav.

Probably should have done the same. I will see if I still feel the same way in 12 months.

Importing it directly from a German dealer might be cheaper than buying from BMW AU. Got mine for 180€ here in Bavaria

Sweet mother of God that is expensive! BMW tho eh :) Still very nice system and I do like OEM bits :) I pop my case off for my ultimateaddons case too, just fits nicer! Haha lean angle is a novelty but cool :P Wireless charging is also massively key and you didn't have to do any wiring. Which is nice.

The OEM cradle looks like it belongs there. Love the wireless charging. I agree, the installation was much easier than installing Quadlock's system.

You mentioned - if planning to buy a gps then you can revert back to the other craddle. Isnt it just easier to use google or apple maps? Keen to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the review
@RoadsOfOz
@RoadsOfOz Месяц назад
It is. But the option to revert back to a GPS cradle (for the Nav VI i think) is very easy.

I always joke, BMW (big money wasted). But! It's always well engineered and does what it's supposed to do. It sure looks like you got it sorted.

They dont miss you with price. But it is made well and more importantly, it works. I am learning that German(like Italian bikes) need a healthy wallet.

Installation is far easier with genuine accessories. I suppose you pay for the ease and convenience.

Can you confirm if it's just a fancy phone holder. Could I use my phone without the cradle and using the "connected app", still get all the features?
@RoadsOfOz
@RoadsOfOz Год назад
Pretty much. I know people who swapped the whole cradle out for a Quadlock system.
@HyperBiker
@HyperBiker Год назад
@@RoadsOfOz Are you sure. On a forum somewhere, I was informed that you have to Bluetooth your phone to the cradle AND THEN the cradle takes over the app features.

you need it to connect I believe. If you just want a mount that provides power only I bought one of £15 but no connectivity.

Did you contact the dealer you purchased it from to see if they could replace it?
@fabienklimsza7402
@fabienklimsza7402 Год назад
@@RoadsOfOz I did. They said they have not seen any failures and I must have pushed too hard on the lower arm. I am still in contact with them. I am not OK buying a $300 cradle, seeing it failed under normal operation as I am trying to get the phone out and getting this unacceptable response from them.

Just paid the equivalent of 360AUD from an official source which included tax at 23%. Not bad value for the functionality but wouldn't pay anymore than that for it.

@RoadsOfOz
@RoadsOfOz Год назад
Owning Ducati ensures that you won't be balling. Owning older ones, even more so. I made the mistake with the Griso by not buying the accessories that I wanted and now they are getting harder to find. So expect the GS to be receiving lots of bling.

Shame the mount is adjustable at all. And damn, that price. Let's face it, is likely made in China for $25.

@Pauru74 4 месяца назад
It's not just a cradle.. why do people comment when they have no information? It connects to the bike via the pins on the satnav prep mount. The information is passed via the cradle to your phone... It's mainly for people that don't have a tft screen and allows you to use the multifunction wheel to control the app features.

This cradle is known to be an iPhone killer due to vibrations destroying the camera. A 20 min ride is enough. BMW are aware of that but they keep selling this peace of shit.
