Guzzi Multimedia Platform
« on: November 23, 2015, 07:55:05 AM »
Just wondering if anyone has this installed and any opinions on it.

It's an official MG hardware option and there are iOS and Android apps to control it.

I'll paste in the app description below - can't find any other info on the net.

Information.

Speedometer, rpm indicator, engine power and torque, instant and average fuel consumption, average speed, battery voltage, longitudinal acceleration and extended trip computer: these are but a few of the functions available.

The “ECO RIDE” function guide you in order to achieve optimal fuel consumption with an eco-compatibile riding behaviour. An evaluation of your results is diplayed during the trip.

With PMP you can store all the journey data and review them later, on your computer or directly on the app. In the easiest way, your will be able to analyse your trip and riding style thanks to a host of parameters acquired by the app in real time.

Easy journey
GMP boasts a series of contents that are meant to enhance the riding safety.

If fuel is low, the system automatically tells you which petrol stations are closest and guides you to the one you chose on the map*.

GMP automatically stores the last position of the vehicle before the engine is switched off, and gives indications if you forget where you parked it.*

All the information about the Traction Control system activation are replicated on the virtual dashboard for maximum visibility and, while accelerating, the “Grip Warning” function gives you real time information about your driving behavior respect to the road adherence. A dedicated warning icon appears gradually in case of limit conditions.

You can set specific thresholsd for speed, rpm and roll angle. Dedicated warning lights are activated if the limits are excedeed.

Exclusive software
With the synergic use of gyroscopes and vehicle signals, your iPhone/iPod becomes an astonishing roll angle estimator in the bends thanks to a proprietary algorithms. (Available from iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4th generation).

GMP will be available for several models of Moto Guzzi Brand: keep in touch!

*with iPhone navigation utilities or third parties apps.
Note: For safety reasons touch screen functions of the app are disabled by default while riding.

I think it would be fun to have, but it would be an expensive toy. It is not something I would use while riding, that with trying to keep my eyes on the road ahead and the cagers behind me.

If it were cheaper, I would get it just for kicks (at least the version for my Vespa until I get another MG). But given the cost, I'll pass. (I need a new iPhone first as I am still on a 4S, snapping my suspenders.  :wink:)

Wish they had it when I owned a 1400, I would have been all over it. The early press releases for the 1400 mentioned the iphone app. One exists for Vespa and Aprilia. When I pressed Piaggio America about it, they said it was not out... an optimistic press release. This was 2 years ago.

I'm going to get it for my 1400 Eldorado in January.  It has absolutely no utility......like my Eldorado  :thumb:

Btw Pirelli Diablo tire app (free) does some of this for you, at least on an iPhone.....

Kinda like the OBDII bluetooth adapter I have for the cars.  Using the appropriate app it can generate all kinds of neat and nearly useless little things.  I got it mainly for boost readout on our turbo vehicles (at the time a Mini Cooper and the Dodge Cummins truck).

The app I used would keep track of just about anything you wanted and display it as tables, graphs or export to a spreadsheet file.

The app was $2 and the adapter was $50.  I wouldn't pay any more than that for one on the bike.

FWIW, Beemers have had this kind of thing for at least a couple years now.
