DMD Navigation FAQ

No. These are streaming devices, which means it will be your pocket device streaming the app.

Not only you are limited by the fact you need an AA or CP compatible app but also by the AA/CP version of the app, AA/CP app versions are not the same as when you run the app natively, you usually get a stripped down version of the app where A LOT of its features are missing and they use totally different and limited UIs.

Although this system might be useful in your car or even on a motorcycle if your doing single day shorter rides, this is not a good solution for adventure riding. In addition, your streaming device (your phone) will discharge much faster, you will not be able to use handlebar remotes and, the DMD2 application will certainly not work.

The APK install is not limited by Google Play Store policy restrictions.

Please noticed that all our remotes can be connected using Bluetooth! But if you want to have it connected by cable you need to have the 12V power supply since the box handles power and communications!

The easiest remote to connect by cable is the Remote 2 since it includes a splitter cable that makes it plug and play. Other remotes like the Remote1 and Remote2 can be used but require you to manually connect them to the open wires. This is covered on the device manual.

The ideal setup is the T665 with 12V power supply and Remote 2:
