"You don't even need a screwdriver": How to install Motoplay on your motorcycle in 30 seconds (Timed!)
Share
Do you have a box with a CarPlay/Android Auto system for your motorcycle sitting on the shelf because you're afraid to disassemble the bike? Or are you postponing the purchase of Motoplay because you think the installation is a daunting task?
Stop everything.
We'll prove to you that installing this system is faster than fitting your helmet and gloves. The secret? "Plug & Play" installation via USB.
Here's a step-by-step guide for those in a hurry:
What you will need:
-
1x Motorcycle (obviously!)
-
1x Motoplay Kit
-
0x Tools (yes, you read that right)
-
30 seconds of your time
Step 1: The "Click" (Estimated time: 15 seconds)
The Motoplay comes with a universal mounting system (clamp or mirror type).
-
Place the clamp against the handlebars of your motorcycle.
-
Tighten the screw by hand until it is firm.
-
Simply fit the screen into the mount. No drilling or wrenches required. It's like assembling LEGO bricks.
Step 2: Energy (Estimated time: 10 seconds)
This is where most people get stuck, thinking they need to connect wires to the battery. They don't.
-
Take the USB cable that comes in the Motoplay box.
-
Connect one end to the Motoplay screen.
-
Connect the other end to your motorcycle's USB port (most modern motorcycles already have one). If your motorcycle doesn't have a USB port, you can connect it to a power bank stored in your tank bag. It works the same!
Step 3: The Connection (Estimated time: 5 seconds)
-
Turn the motorcycle key. Motoplay starts automatically.
-
On your phone, search for Motoplay's Bluetooth and click "Pair". Done. Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will start immediately.
"What if I want to hide the strands?" (The Pro Method - 10 Minutes)
Okay, if you're a perfectionist and want a "clean" installation plugged directly into the battery (to free up the USB port), it takes a little longer, but it's still easy:
-
Run the power cable (included) under the tank to the battery.
-
Loosen the battery terminal screws slightly (+ Red and - Black).
-
Connect the cable terminals and tighten again. Simple. The Motoplay only turns on when you turn the key, so you'll never run out of battery.
Conclusion: You could already be on the road.
While you were reading this text, you could already have Motoplay set up and be choosing your playlist on Spotify.
Technology has evolved. Complicated installations are a thing of the past. Don't pay a mechanic to do something you can do yourself in the time it takes to watch a TV commercial.
