Electronic box Motogadget M-Unit Blue

The new m.unit blue has moved on from the established previous version by undergoing significant development and improvements. It is now equipped with 12 inputs and 10 outputs, replaceable high-quality cable clamps and, most notably, Bluetooth®. This enables the m.unit blue to be connected to our m.ride smartphone App. This feature is unique for motorbike accessories. The m.ride App manages the entire setup and alarm system. Fault diagnostics can also be performed during operation and without having to remove the m.unit. The secure, encrypted Keyless Go function can also be used. When this function is activated and you approach your motorbike with your smartphone, the on-board electrical system is activated and the motorbike is ready to be started. The m.unit blue is the digital control unit for your motorbike – the heart of the entire on-board electrical system. It can be operated using buttons or using conventional handlebar switches. It controls all necessary components on the vehicle while also performing fuse functions. There are considerably fewer relays and individual components in the wiring harness and the vehicle can be rewired with less effort in a very short amount of time.
When using the m.button, all switch connections are reduced to one single cable.

Features wthout smartphone and m.ride App:

• complete digital control using buttons possible with 4 or 5-button operation.
• complete replacement for the fuse box. 10 independent circuits are digitally monitored and switched off if there are faults. After the fault is rectified, the safety function is automatically reset.
• integrated alarm system that can be installed in any position.

• LIN bus connection for connecting to compatible motogadget products at a later date

The m.ride App is now available for Android (from version 6.0) and for iOS (from iPhone 5) shortly thereafter. The modern Bluetooth® LE is used to couple the m.unit blue with the smartphone. This requires certain requirements for the smartphone’s hardware. The following Android models are currently compatible:

• Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, S6/S6 Edge, S5/S5 Neo, Note 4, Note 5, Tab A (2016), Tab 4 7.0, Tab S2 10.5
• Google Pixel/ Pixel XL, Nexus 5/5X
• LG G4/G5
• Sony Experia Z3 Compact
• OnePlus 3/OnePlus 3T
• Huawei P9/ P9 Plus

We intend to make further smartphone models compatible in the next few weeks. Further information on the App can be found at mride.de or in Google Play.
