Triumph Tiger 900 - Connecting iPhone for Navigation with MyTriumph App
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- If you are like me, one of the first things I tried to do when I got my Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro was connect it to my iPhone using the My Triump app, only to be met by the most frustrating experience of connection errors and other glitches.
In this video I show you how to connect your bike and your iPhone, and use it for turn-by-turn navigation, as well as using GPX files and saving rides.

About an hour in the weekend trying to get it connected with no luck …. Found your video…. Connected in 5 mins!! Thanks heaps!!!
Started at least 10 attempts to connect the iPhone to the TFT. Thanks to your video I managed to do it. I can't believe how poorly the pairing is explained in the app.
According to your video it was done in 2 minutes
I'm glad it helped, it is so frustrating. Happy riding!
Many thanks for the help. I spent several hours yesterday without being able to connect. Today I spent 5 minutes, followed your instructions and everything worked. I have used this GPS a lot and think it is good. I bought a new phone and that's when I had trouble reconnecting. But with your good instructions it was easy.

Glad it helped, happy riding up there in Norway!
Thanks mate, that was excellent and after eight months, Triumph finally gave me a green light on the Navigation function! Really appreciate your persistence and for posting such a useful video.
Glad it helped! Thanks for the thanks :-)
Everybody who hates the display operating system, like I did, should find this video extremely helpful. Thank you.
Love to know how you go, let me know if you get a chance
@@australianadv I have Android and am going to try it. I also have Cardo System and trying to figure out how they co- exist.
@@kee7678 Best of luck with it. I have heard the Android app is less buggy than the iPhone app so might be easier for you. Let us know how you go...
Thankyou for sharing this fix, I’ve spent hours trying to connect my new bike to my iPhone. I can now go and enjoy the ride 👍🏻
Glad to help, ride safe!
Amazing tutorial, at Triumph couldn't gave me an answer about it!!! Thanks, greetings from Mexico
Happy to help! Greetings from Australia :-)
Thanks mate, never bothered using it for obvious reasons - might give it another go now. Cheers 🍻
Hope it helps
I was about to give up. This video helped immensely, thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
Perfect ! Thank’s for this video it was the right process between my bike (street triple RS 2023) and iPhone 12. 👍🏻🍻
Glad it helped! I didn’t know there were other Triumph models having the same problem.
Thanks for the video. I will try all of this tomorrow. Hopefully, I can finally use the app. 👍👍👍
Good luck!
My gosh this app is a mess. I've NEVER had any success with it. I need to go sit on the bike with my phone and cuss my way through this again.
Thanks mate , like all the other comments your clear and ease to solve this annoying problem with the Triumph tiger bluetoothing is much appreciated
Cheers mate I appreciate the comment
Thank you so much! I finally got mine working after watching this! I appreciate you taking the time to go through it!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. I wasn’t able to connect following the app prompts or the Triumph videos in the FAQs. 👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you ever so much!! I’ve been trying for so long to get everything connected, this finally got me out of the woods!
Glad it worked for you.
Awesome, that’s me connected thanks to your video. No chance of connecting with the app instructions.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Thanks for your video! I managed to finally get it to work. I have also, after a few attempts, managed to open the GPX files with the Triumph app and I wanted to add that if you go to where you have the file saved, and open it via the share button, then you select the Triumph app, it will open without giving you any errors. (This is with iPhone) not sure if it is the same with android phones. You can also change the file from .txt to .gpx and the app will recognise it.
That’s a nice tip about using the iPhone Share button to open the GPX in the MyTriumph app, thanks for sharing
Thank you! I was about to give up but finally got it to sync up correctly tonight.
Glad I could help!
Fantastic! This has been a big problem, thanks for cracking the mystery!
Glad to have helped. Was driving me crazy too
@@australianadv Even still, I had to do your technique a few times before I could connect the navigation. Do I have to do this every time I ride??
@@rexgrignon5538 No it should remember your phone from now on. You just have to open the MyTriumph app when the bike has the key on.
Awesome share, was struggling big time with getting the nav to connect. Thanks a mil!
No problem, glad to help
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video.
You’re very welcome. It’s been like a public service announcement :-)
Fantastic video I was loosing my mind over not being able to connect. Connected within seconds after watching 👍🏻 Thank you 😊
Glad it helped!
Really useful, thanks. I thought it was something I was doing wrong!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful. I was able to connect the phone and Cardo headset on the 1st (or may 2nd) try.
Might even give the Triumph Navigation a try (as long as I also have Gaia up on the handlebars for reference).
Glad it helped! Now I’m trying to connect the GoPro but still struggling. Why can’t it be easier!?
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
It sure was… got my Tiger set up in no time! They must have really improved the app, all of the features seem to work pretty well.
That’s great, I’ll give it another try. I just noticed it’s now 1.2.9 so they’ve made some sort of improvements over the 1.2.7 version
Awesome thanks for sharing this, this worked for me!
Now to figure out how to pair the GoPro….
Yeah, that’s the holy Grail, I’m still working on it myself :-)
Very good!! Hit the nail on the head. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah awesome. Picked up the Rally pro today and the app and the lack of pairing was my only complaint with the bike
Just followed your video. Thanks. Works now 🎉🎉🎉😂
That's great to hear.
Thanks, I was finally able to connect the app.
Glad I could help
Nice video! I'm evaluating the 900 GT Pro but I think that the solution is to use the TomTom Rider ✌
TomTom rider would be good, also some of the Garmins are supposed to be pretty good. Phone works well too if you don't mind risking the rain!
Brilliant. Had the Tiger for just over 12 months and now it works!! Loved it, great instructions. Thanks ( bit loose on “right then immediate left” type turns). I could not work out how to get the Map on the App visible…So I ran REVER too. Worked great but would be good to just see it in the T App. Possible?
Glad it helped! I’ll try the map next time I’m out for a ride
Good tutorial thanks.
Couple of comments.
Plug your phone into power, either under the seat or to the accessory points. The Triumph app sucks the phone battery fast, especially using Nav.
Advanced setting up the instrument hub to connect to mobile and Senna comms is even more complex and add a pillion even more so 😵💫
Frustration point is the instrument hub volume controls do not work with the Senna. Not sure about other motor bike comms systems?
Triumph won't help either and forget asking the dealership!
Good tip about power, it does drain the phone.
I don’t use a headset, but I have also had trouble connect GoPro. If I work out how I’ll do another video.
You helped me so much I certainly appreciate it. Thumbs up to you my friend thumbs up to you.👍🏻 thanks again😎🇺🇸I got it working but now my music won’t work wile riding on my headset🤔
Glad I could help
Dude I’m so glad I could help. It was driving me crazy so once I found a solution I wanted to share it.
Happy riding!
Very usefull. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t wait to try this. Thanks
Good luck with it, hope it works for you...
Thanks for this. Can you tell me if once connected to your phone is the speed limit applicable to the road you’re riding on is shown on the TFT as it does in my BMW app. ?
I don’t think it shows speed
Thank you for this video, i like it!! can i ask if is possible to connect smartphone and a gps device (for example TomTom rider 550) at same time to te tiger 900 gt pro? thank you a lot!
Glad you liked it!
I don’t have a GPS device so can’t test, it maybe someone has tried this and can comment?
Do you feel like this is in any way more useful than using Beeline or a Zumo XT? Obviously those are external devices, but the amount of hassle with the pairing and the app leaves me pretty discouraged. Thanks for making this video, though. I was beginning to think I was technically deficient. 😂
It’s not as useful as an external device, and I usually just mount my phone on the bars and use that for navigation. It looks nice when I can be bothered to put though.
Also handy on dirt where the vibrations can damage phone camera if it’s on a mount.
Such an awesome and clear video. I stumbled upon having it connect randomly, and I think the main point I was missing is returning to the main screen to have the Nav pairing finished doing its thing. All of my milage data comes through, however, Nav never works. When I enter an address and hit start I always get a message on the app get a message saying the app isn’t paired and to pair again. I’m on 1.2.7 and my Bluetooth settings show both Tiger Bluetooth devices are connected. It’s so frustrating. Maybe VINs aren’t in sync. Any ideas?
Hard to know for sure, but it is probably something to do with how iPhones actually have two simultaneous Bluetooth connections, one for audio and one for navigation.
Just to check, are you going through the whole process in the video? There are two pairings in total.
Other than that maybe trying restarting the phone and then “forgetting” the bike in Bluetooth settings (both connections) then trying again from the start.
Good luck!
@@australianadv thanks, yep, your video inspired me to try again, deleted all connections from bike and phone and started from scratch. I get both the green ticks at the end. I’ll get the dealer to have a look at the next service. Thanks for your video, it was tops. I’m determined to get this to work. Cheers.
@@bradwarner1162 Good luck with it, let me know how you go if you get a chance
I have the exact same issue on an iPhone running iOS 16.5. Have both Bluetooth connections up and running but when I start a ride it tells me there is no pairing going on. Pretty frustrating and hope they will sort it out in a future update.
Great video, very helpfull, STUD!!
With a comment like that you’re welcome anytime :-)
nice video. Is the 1200 GT the same? I just got one and the dealership guys didn't know anything. Edit This is over my head. I'll keep using my iphone.
Sorry I don’t know if the 1200 is the same (great bike though). But the dealership guys are certainly the same, they had no idea how to get this working.
iPhone works fine for usual navigation, although it’s nice to get the bike to cooperate so you can see the directions in the bike’s screen
This doesn’t seem to work on the 2024 Tiger. I can get it to pair the phone part, but the navigation bit never prompts for a pair. Sitting on the main screen that the bike starts up with or any other menus, it would seem. Im running the newest version of the software also 1.2.10
That’s a shame, I would have thought they’d have fixed it on the new interface. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the new model so can’t troubleshoot, but if anyone reads this comment and has any tips please let us all know.
Great video followed it to the letter still no connection.........its driving me insane!
Ah sorry to hear that. I’m not sure why it’s not working, but I haven’t checked on the latest version of the app so maybe they broke something else.
Thanks mate
No probs!
I still are bad about it. At 4:55min of the video, pairing navigation with the hike, I still get no progress. It asked pairing Navi to bike. If I say pairing it gets me back into the dead loop of pairing Bluetooth, if I click no pairing it sits there. What a mass
What version of the app are you on?
Hi, I am from Austria and drive a 1200 Scrambler XC and use an Iphone 13 with iOS 16.5.1
the myTriumph App says Version 1.2.7 and I can't connect it to my Motorbike.
After connecting it, the 2nd step, when I enable the navigation, the promt does not display on the screen of the bike. The time runs out and the connection failed. Do you, or someone of the followers know the answer how to connect those?
Not sure I’d it’s different with the Scrambler, was working when I tried it.
All I can suggest is to make sure it’s exactly the same steps as in the video, it’s helped other people but not sure about the scrambler.
I have gave up on trying to connect to the App. I have spent a lot of time on this. I have a iPhone 14.
Yeah it's a pain, that's for sure. It should work if you follow the steps in the video exactly.
Use a vibration dampening phone holder like Quad Lock. Ride your bike as it was supposed to be ridden. Done.
I must confess, that’s what I normally do.
thanks, really useful!
Glad it was helpful!
The app is disappointing is once you import a route from your files and start the "GPX"
route , the route is no longer displayed on your map page.???!!!
I haven’t tried that, I’ll have a look next time.
It’s definitely not the app for detailed navigation, I use Gaia GPS for off road and good old Google Maps or Waze for on road.
Doh! I moved screen before the nav prompt came up. Now it won’t connect again. Ideas?
Only thing I can suggest is to start again from scratch. Probably best thing is to forget the bike in your Bluetooth settings (if it is saved there) and restart your phone and try again.
It’s really fussy, it has to be exactly as it was in the video for it to work. It’s a miracle I got it working myself to be honest :-)
@@australianadv done. And linked. Thanks man.
Glad to hear it. Happy riding!
Thank youuuu very muchhhhhh
You're welcome, hope it helps!
So … my iPhone 11 Pro Max appears connected (both for audio and GPS) but … when playing audio from the phone to my helmet (which connected to the phone and NOT the bike), fast forward and rewind change the tracks but pause and play (via the joystick) cause the iPhone to switch from my headset to the bike … which isn’t connected to any speakers ! And, when the phone is connected (or seems to be), I try and start a route and get the ‘not paired’ error. It takes me through the GPS pairing process, successfully pairs but I’ve lost the route and have to redo it. When re-entered, I click ‘start’ and …. Get the ‘not paired’ error again ! And that’s the loop I’m stuck in. Any thoughts on that ?
I don’t have Bluetooth device in my helmet so can’t test, but it sounds like the phone is struggling to maintain Bluetooth connection to both helmet and bike at the same time.
The mystery is why it would allow forward and back, but not pause and play. A bit beyond me, sorry.
Is this just an iPhone issue? Or Android as well?
Just iPhone. It works fine in android apparently.
Something to do with iPhone using two separate Bluetooth channels for voice and navigation.
I have a 2023 Tiger 900 Rally Pro and no matter what I cannot get my iPhone to talk to the display for Nav. But It does work with Music. Is this a known issue I wonder?
Have you checked the version of your MyTriumph app and made sure it’s 1.2.5 or later? If it is and you follow the steps in this video it should work for Nav.
I haven’t tried music though, but it should work once you’re connected
I also have a 2023 Rally Pro and app 1.2.7 but even though the menu shows me „pairing finished“ my garage is still empty and consequently no navigation is available. Incoming calls are displayed however without contact details even though it was accepted during pairing.
@@ErikBodura I get the same, my app says pairing successful but I'm left with a blank screen with 3 white dots and a red arrow on the right.
My 2021 900 paired without a problem. iphone 11, up to date app.
Unfortunately it's still at working for me
Sorry to hear that. Not sure if things have changed since I first posted the video but at the time if you follow those steps exactly it would work.
Was somebody able to do this for a tiger 1200???
Is it a different system on the 1200?
Thank you, thank you. BUT what a convoluted setup... The word "intuitive" is not in Triumph's dictionary.
Yep it’s pretty rough. Could be really good with a few minor tweaks though, hopefully they fix it in future versions
Ugh y
Yeah a bit of a faff
