If you have a the Model B or the TC; you have an USB-C connector within the phone cradle compartment. Follow the cable in the picture I posted,.connected to a Motorola RAZR flip phone. The USB-C is located on the Left Hand Side within the compartment; it's hard to see since it is located within the side of the cradle.I don’t have a connec like that on mine
This update seems to have botched the MPH icon that pops at the top left of the TFT when using turn by turn or map. Looks like it shows KPH now. Hope they’ll push a fix soon.I see there's a pretty recent update to the app on November 27, 2023 (Ver. 5.1.1); I'll have to keep an eye out for any new bugs and or issues if I sneak out for a 2024 maiden ride today..
I don't think I've ridden the bike since the new update has been applied...

Also, a non app issue, would be nice to have an easy flip to KPH as I’m so close to Canada and hoping to ride over in the spring. No workable solution on the US bikes, as I understand it.
Yep, set to miles. There’s a recent review in the Apple App Store citing the same issue. Would imagine it’s widespread but the update pushed when a lot of us put the bikes up for the season.I wanted to try and sneak out yesterday for a 2024 ride, where I could have compared my previous experience with the Connect App with the recent version which was pushed this past November (didn't happen due to snow flurries). :-(
Can you verify that you have MPH selected within the App Settings:

Agreed.. so our issues are probably being masked or suppressed as most aren't utilizing the app or their bikes; I did however notice that I needed to download all of my map files AGAIN...Yep, set to miles.

I rated the app at 2 stars this morning; they need better quality control and regression testing before making their app software generally available.Similar to reporting the headlight issues - this stuff needs to be made known.
I encourage everyone to review the app in their respective App Store, and send BMW a message with your opinions:

These bikes are too expensive and BMW is too premium a brand for people to just accept mediocrity.
I have found a specific spot where I lose the Map Image and get the basic text Street Name or Road that I'm riding on; this disconnect event happens every single time I ride on Rt-17 in NJ within a specific 100 yard stretch of highway as one example. I'm sure it is RF co-channel interference (same radio frequency) within the Wi-Fi link between my phone and the TFT system. The navigation map function always seems to restore itself automatically
