BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide COM U1

kThe new ConnectedRide Com U1 is a helmet-independent communication system and offers numerous advantages for the driver, pillion passenger or the group of bikers. The driver can talk to the pillion passenger or the group via Bluetooth or Mesh 2.0. The communication system also allows two people to make phone calls while riding and listen to music. A quick-charge function increases usability.

For optimal range in mesh operation, the device is equipped with an antenna that can be easily folded in and out. For the best possible performance, the antenna must be folded out. "Universal Intercom" can be used to establish a call connection with a person who uses a headset from another manufacturer.
