How to get Apple CarPlay on your motorcycle: The Definitive Guide to Modernizing your Trip
Share
If you drive a modern car, you've probably already gotten used to the convenience of Apple CarPlay (or Android Auto). You get in, your phone connects, and suddenly you have your maps, music, and messages on a large, easy-to-use screen.
But when we switch to two wheels, the story is usually different. For years, motorcyclists have had to make do with flimsy phone holders, exposing €1,000 smartphones to rain, sun and, even worse, engine vibrations that destroy cameras.
The good news? It doesn't have to be that way anymore. Today, it's possible to have Apple CarPlay on any motorcycle, whether it's an urban scooter or a large 20-year-old adventure bike.
In this article, we explain how you can make this upgrade and why Motoplay is the essential tool you've been missing.
The Problem: Your cell phone isn't a motorcycle GPS.

Many riders still use their cell phones mounted on the handlebars. While this works for short trips, it creates serious problems:
-
Camera damage: The high-frequency vibrations from motorcycles irreversibly damage the image stabilizer (OIS) of modern iPhones and Androids.
-
Overheating: In sunlight, with GPS and 4G enabled, the phone enters safe mode and the screen dims.
-
Small Screen: Trying to view a complex exit on Waze using a vibrating 6-inch screen is not safe.
The Solution: A Dedicated Smart Screen
The correct way to have Apple CarPlay on a motorcycle is through an external device that mirrors your phone. This is where Motoplay comes in.
Motoplay functions exactly like a car's multimedia system, but it was designed to withstand the extreme conditions of motorcycling.

How does Motoplay work?
The installation is surprisingly simple and transforms your driving experience in three steps:
-
Universal Mounting: The Motoplay fits most motorcycles. Simply attach the robust mount to your handlebars or accessory bar.
-
Wireless Connection: You don't need any dangling cables. Your iPhone connects via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi automatically as soon as you turn on the motorcycle.
-
Keep Your Phone in Your Pocket: Your smartphone stays safe in your pocket or bag, saving battery and protecting it from drops or theft, while all your information appears on the Motoplay screen.
Why choose Motoplay instead of a phone holder?
In addition to protecting your cell phone, our unique product offers advantages that improve your security and comfort:
-
Larger and Brighter Screen: Motoplay offers a larger viewing area than a regular cell phone. This means larger icons in Waze and Google Maps, making route reading immediate without taking your attention off the road.
-
Total Entertainment Control: Accessing your Spotify or Apple Music playlists becomes intuitive. The interface is simplified for use on the go.
-
Compatible with Gloves: Forget struggling to unlock your phone with gloves on. The Motoplay touchscreen is responsive and designed for motorcycle gear.
-
Total Resistance: Rain, dust, or mud? Motoplay was made for it.

Conclusion: Your Cockpit, Updated.
Having Apple CarPlay on your motorcycle is no longer a luxury reserved for those who buy the most expensive touring bikes on the market. With Motoplay, you can upgrade your current motorcycle today.
