Motogadget  M-Unit Blue

The M-Unit Blue from Motogadget is the digital control hub for a motorcycle: the heart of your vehicle's entire electrical system. As Motogadget are always pushing the bounds of technology, this latest version of the M-Unit is a significant improvement on its already exceptional predecessor. As before, it's operated either with push-buttons or with conventional, switching handlebars. This switches all necessary components on the vehicle and, at the same time, takes over the tasks of the electrical fuses.

Now, though, it has no less than 12 inputs and 10 outputs, and high quality, interchangeable cable clamps. Most exciting of all, however, is its Bluetooth® LE. This allows the M-Unit Blue to connect directly to the 'm.ride' smartphone app - a totally unique function in today's motorcycle accessories.

A look at the new functions of the M-Unit Blue 

Now you can control the entire set up and alarm system via the m.ride app. Check error diagnoses during operation without having to remove the unit. Get moving safely with an encrypted, keyless 'go' function. And, if you do choose to use the m.drive app, only the approach with your own smartphone will automatically turn on the vehicle voltage, so that your motorcycle is ready to start.

Using the m.button, the number of all switch armature connections is reduced to just a single cable. It switches all necessary components on the vehicle. At the same time, it takes over the tasks of the electrical fuses. Ultimately, the m-Unit Blue cuts down on cabling, relays and individual components in the wiring harness, while still being swift and easy to install.

Technical Specifications 

The app m.ride will soon be available for Android (from version 5.0) and some time later for iOS (from iPhone 5). The modern Bluetooth LE is used to pair the m.unit blue with the smartphone. This requires certain prerequisites to the hardware of the smartphone. 

Smart phone compatibility: 

• iPhone from iOS 10 / Android from 8.0 (compatibility may be limited due to manufacturer)
