BMW ConnectedRide Com U1 communication system

BMW ConnectedRide Com U1

What could be better than enjoying your impressions while driving with your fellow passenger or even a whole group? Have conversations, listen to music or simply be navigated to your next destination - it's all very easy. The helmet-independent ConnectedRide Com U1 communication system makes it possible. It is uncomplicated, intuitive and self-evident: the way communication should be.

The new ConnectRide Com U1 is a helmet-independent communication system and offers numerous advantages for rider, pillion passenger and the biker group. The rider can communicate with the pillion or the group via Bluetooth or Mesh 2.0. The communication system also makes it possible to make phone calls while riding and listen to music as a couple. A quick-charge function increases the usability. With its universally fitting design, the system can be easily attached to most BMW motorbike helmets. And the easy-to-install speakers offer not only a high level of wearing comfort but also a high-quality sound experience in HD quality.

The glove-friendly operation is carried out intuitively via four buttons on the ConnectedRide Com U1 or alternatively via the system's own Com U1 app. With "Hey Sena" you can also activate predefined voice commands. And if you connect your smartphone directly to the communication system, you can use the voice commands of your smartphone as usual.

BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide is a functional product family that you can connect via Bluetooth and, above all, control via the BMW Motorrad Connected app. We laid the foundation stone with BMW Motorrad Connectivity: a system that brings the familiar features of your smartphone such as telephony, music and navigation wirelessly to the TFT display of your motorbike. But that was just the beginning, because many more BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide products will follow, making your riding experience even easier, safer and more comfortable - no matter where and with which bike you are on the road.

Communication via Bluetooth or Mesh 2.0

With the ConnectedRide Com U1, you have the choice between two types of connection: Bluetooth is the best choice if you want to talk to another person and offers you a range of up to 2 km in open terrain. With Mesh, even up to 8 km is possible - as long as you are travelling in a group of at least six people.

But the Mesh connection can do even more: Group Mesh Intercom enables private, closed groups with up to 24 participants. Multi Channel Open Mesh, on the other hand, enables open groups with an infinite number of participants travelling within range. Here, anyone travelling on the same channel can communicate with the group without prior pairing. And you always have the option of switching between private and open groups at the touch of a button.

Here the music plays

With the ConnectedRide Com U1, you can easily share your playlist with your fellow rider and their ConnectedRide Com U1: so you're on the road with the same soundtrack. The built-in FM radio also stores up to 10 stations and can be easily switched on and off at the touch of a button.

Easy to use and simple to install: With only a few individual parts, the ConnectedRide Com U1 offers a lot of communication.

• Control unit
• Charge and data cable
• Speaker, 40 mm
• Bracket microphone
• Cable microphone

The ConnectedRide Com U1 can add a Fit-for-All or a communication system V3 to the mesh group. In the case of the V3 communication system, however, a setting must first be made via the app or Device Manager in conjunction with the ConnectedRide Com U1.

Depending on the operating mode, you can operate different functions via voice control. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Russian are available. An LED informs you about the battery charge level and an automatic voice announcement warns you when the battery is low. The battery life is up to 13 hours for Bluetooth Intercom and up to 8 hours for Mesh Intercom.

Thanks to the quick-charge function, you can also make the most of short breaks: just 20 minutes of charging time is enough for 3.5 hours in Mesh Intercom mode and 6 hours in Bluetooth Intercom mode.
