Ducati Connect Demo, Multistrada V4S

A short video to demonstrate what should happen each and every time you use your bike, providing your phone has been correctly paired to your bike's dash. The video also demonstrates how, even once Ducati Connect is connected, you can disconnect it, use your phone for another task, and then it automatically reconnects.

Nice job. Short and sweet.

I’m guessing, after watching others w/ issues, the trick is you are keeping the app up & screen unlocked. Systems like “KTM My Ride” allow you to lock the phone screen & it still navigates. Also seen people put the phone in the tank sealed compartment & lock the screen, then complain that nav doesn’t work. Your tip makes sense, keep it active, let the app run & just charge

Hi Mike, yep, you have to keep the Ducati App open and on the screen. The App has a Ducati Connect screensaver which moves around the screen. This saves your screen from burnout and, as it’s moving, tricks your phone into thinking you are still interacting with the screen so your phone doesn’t automatically lock itself after whatever time period you set it to do.
People also complain about heat generation and the battery running down quickly when in use. However, they ought to remember the phone is doing a massive amount of calculations to constantly determine your position, keep the map updated, and throw it onto the dash via the wifi link. It’s no wonder it gets hot and the battery is used - that’s just normal imo and not a fault of DC.

Can you make a video on how your connection is when you change riding modes while Ducati connect is working as that seems to be the issue since the last dash update?

I’ll try and do that and post it up here 👍

My Ducati connect works well enough with my 2021 Multistrada V4S, I chose not to get the software upgrade, my only glitch is with my music I can't adjust the volume with the toggle & that's it, so no biggie using my helmet to answer calls or adjust volume, I'm leaving well enough alone lol. Everyone ride safe 🙏
