    Gen 1 Connected ride cradle

      Hi all, is anyone using the ride cradle with a gen 1? Do all the functions work with the navigation wheel?

      I have a chinese phone cradle that I used to go round europe with and it worked fine. Would be nice to have the nav wheel connected though.

    I do - I move the cradle between a gen 1 and gen 2.  I almost never used the connected app though and instead use Waze.  I'll go down and try it and report back.

    Yep, it works.  I was pretty sure, but wanted to test it before I replied since I haven't used it on the gen 1 in a while other than Waze and as a charger.  I could move around the 4 apps in the Connected Ride app with the wheel and when in the nav map I could scroll in and out to zoom, etc. with the wheel.

    Anytime, mate.  I am actually going to try the BMW nav app again this weekend.  I forgot how handy that scrolling around and zooming in and out can be since I can't easily do it in Waze while riding and I get lost a lot.  I am too lazy to stop, take off a glove and fiddle with Waze so I usually just ride around until I either recognize something or get more lost to the point I have to make a stop.
