Pre-Launch

Rider Test Program

Before we open sales, we’re putting R7M into real miles with BMW riders around the world. From city commutes to alpine passes, we’re validating wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, RN OS, BMW Nav cradle fit, and day/night visibility.

RiderNav booted and paired to wireless CarPlay instantly. With gloves on, the big targets are easy, and the 7-inch screen stays readable in harsh sun. Mounted on the BMW Nav cradle, it felt rock-solid even on washboard.

7-inch display makes speed and next turn truly one-glance. Riding up to 5,200 ft, the Altitude and Temperature cards told the story as weather changed. A rear slow leak popped the Rear Tire Pressure alert before I felt it—saved my day.
Luca P.
BMW F850GS
Weekdays I use Android Auto for map, music and calls; weekends I switch to RN OS because it’s cleaner and less distracting. After an OTA last Friday, night legibility got better.
Daniel K.
BMW S1000XR
Typical British weather. Temperature and Altitude shift through the lanes, and Lean Angle keeps my enthusiasm in check on wet bends. The Quick Actions row (Mute / Route / End) is glove-friendly. Link Mode banners for calls/messages don’t block guidance.
Emma B.
BMW F900XR
RN OS keeps the right info top-center: Speed, next maneuver, distance. On long climbs I watched RPM and Engine Temp—coolant stayed steady around 93–95°C. Lean Angle is fun but also reins me in on tight corners.

BMW Compatibility

DESCRIPTION  

The R7M is a 7-inch display made specifically for BMW motorcycles. It is true plug-and-play: you do not need extra cables, and you do not need any custom wiring. You simply place the R7M into the BMW Navigation Cradle and lock it with your BMW key. That is the full installation.

The R7M gets power directly from the BMW Navigation Cradle. When you start the motorcycle, the R7M turns on automatically. It also supports control using the BMW Wonder Wheel, and it can read motorcycle data from the cradle and show that data on the screen while you ride.

For navigation, music, phone calls, and messages, the R7M connects to your phone. It uses Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to mirror your phone onto the display. Your apps still run on your phone. The R7M becomes the screen and the control surface you use on the bike.

BMW Cradle Compatibility (Nav Prep 5/6 & Keyless Electric)  

R7M supports BMW Nav Prep 5/6 and the new keyless electric cradle. Cradles with physical front buttons are not supported. For photos, model notes, and quick ID tips, read the full guide.

Wonder Wheel Control  

R7M supports BMW Wonder Wheel control, letting you operate R7M from the OEM multi-controller on the bar. To enable it, you must use a genuine BMW Navigation Cradle with clean, intact pins/contacts, have “Preparation for Navigation Unit (SA 272)” activated, and ride a model/configuration that exposes Wonder Wheel control via BMW’s protocol. Availability varies by model, year, and options; if the cradle is non-genuine, the contacts are dirty/damaged, or SA 272 isn’t activated, Wonder Wheel control won’t be available.

Data Reading Disclaimer  

R7M displays OEM bike data as provided by your BMW. Availability varies by model and configuration. For example, lean-angle requires a built-in BMW lean-angle sensor; if your bike lacks that sensor—or if BMW’s communication protocol does not expose it—R7M cannot show the value. These limitations are defined by the motorcycle and cannot be overridden.

RiderNav to Launch Universal Quick-Release 7-Inch Display for Non-BMW Motorcycles in December  

RiderNav is preparing to launch a universal quick-release version of the 7-inch Display for riders whose bikes do not have a BMW navigation cradle.
The universal version is expected to be available starting in December.

Please note that this version does not support camera add-ons.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release!

Commonly Supported BMW Models (non-exhaustive)  

These models are compatible when the BMW Navigation Cradle and SA 272 are present:
R 1300 GS / GS Adventure
R 1300 RS
R 1250 GS / GS Adventure
R 1200 GS / GS Adventure (LC)
S 1000 XR
F 750 GS
F 850 GS / F 850 GS Adventure
F 900 XR

Many other BMW models can be compatible if they have the OEM cradle + SA 272. Ask your dealer about adding/activating Nav Prep where applicable.

Models or Setups That Are Not Supported  

If any of the following conditions apply, R7M is not supported.

1. Bikes with integrated/embedded dash navigation compartments instead of the external cradle—commonly:
R 1250 RT / R 1200 RT (integrated fairing compartment)
K 1600 series (integrated dash solutions)

2. No OEM Navigation Cradle present (no place to dock R7M)

3. Non-genuine or modified cradles; damaged or oxidized pins

4. BMW Navigation Cradle with built-in buttons (button-type Nav Prep).

Does R7M support a dashcam or external cameras?  

No. R7M cannot add cameras and does not provide a dashcam function. It’s intentionally plug-and-play and minimal, so BMW riders don’t take on extra installation cost or time.

Can R7M read tire pressure (TPMS)?  

RiderNav will offer an external TPMS add-on. If your BMW does not have factory TPMS, you’ll be able to purchase our TPMS to view tire-pressure data on R7M.

How do I get audio guidance?  

Use an external Bluetooth headset. R7M has no built-in speaker.

How is R7M powered? Do I need extra wiring?  

No extra wiring. R7M is powered directly by the BMW Navigation Cradle. Insert, lock with your BMW key, and ride.

How do I update the R7M firmware?  

To update the R7M, go to Settings > System Update and tap Check for Updates. If a new version is available, select Update Now to download and install it. The device will restart automatically after the update. Please ensure the R7M is powered by the BMW navigation cradle and has a stable internet connection during the process—we recommend using nearby Wi-Fi or your phone’s hotspot.
Important: The R7M has no USB port and can only perform OTA updates when powered through the BMW Navigation Cradle—it cannot be updated using a home wall charger.

Does R7M require an internet connection to work?  

Navigation on R7M runs through your phone via CarPlay or Android Auto, so the data connection always comes from your smartphone.
R7M itself does not have built-in mobile data or Wi-Fi for daily use.
Only the initial activation and OTA firmware updates require a temporary Wi-Fi connection.

Does R7M support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?  

Yes. R7M pairs wirelessly with your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto. Power on the bike, and R7M will auto-connect once paired the first time.

Does R7M have built-in maps or music apps?  

No. R7M does not include any pre-installed maps or media applications.
All navigation, music, and app functions are projected from your phone through CarPlay or Android Auto.
This design keeps R7M simple, responsive, and focused on delivering a seamless riding experience.

What is RN OS and when would I use it?  

RN OS is RiderNav’s rider-first interface—built for gloves, glare, and motion. Use RN OS when you want a native, distraction-free experience; switch to CarPlay/Android Auto when you want your phone’s full app ecosystem.
