This term references a specific configuration integrating smartphone technology with motorcycles, primarily through the Android Auto platform, and often utilizing the DMD2 software. This allows riders to access navigation, communication, and entertainment features on a dedicated display, tailored for motorcycle use. An example includes using a ruggedized Android tablet, running the DMD2 application, connected to a motorcycle’s electrical system and interfacing with Android Auto via a paired smartphone.
The appeal of such a system stems from its ability to provide advanced functionalities without requiring expensive, proprietary motorcycle infotainment systems. It offers a cost-effective and customizable alternative, leveraging the power and familiarity of smartphones and open-source software. The combination delivers turn-by-turn directions, music streaming, and hands-free communication, enhancing rider safety and convenience. This technology is gaining traction as motorcycle enthusiasts seek modern connectivity options on their bikes.
