What happens when I turn off my BMW?
When you switch off your BMW engine, the R7M does not immediately power down. Instead, it enters a 10-second shutdown countdown and displays ride statistics from your just-completed trip.
What ride statistics are shown?
The shutdown screen displays the following information from your ride:
Riding time
Distance traveled
Average speed
Top speed
Note: Other data points (such as lean angle) are not included. The data fields shown are not customizable.
FAQ
Q: Can I save or export these trip statistics?
A: No. The RiderNav Display currently does not support exporting ride data to SD cards, external storage, or companion apps.
Q: My display shuts down instantly—no countdown or statistics appear. Why?
A: The RiderNav Display needs a few seconds of sustained power after engine shutdown to display the countdown and trip summary. If your BMW’s battery management / power relay disconnects instantly, the display loses power immediately and cannot show the shutdown sequence.
This behavior is controlled by your motorcycle’s power management. We recommend contacting your BMW dealer to confirm whether your bike supports delayed power-off on the Nav Prep circuit, and whether any settings, relay behavior, or wiring configuration is causing immediate cut-off.
Q: I have a BMW motorcycle and my R7M doesn't show the countdown. What should I try?
A: Some BMW riders have resolved this issue by removing the BMW TFT display from their Bluetooth paired devices list, keeping only the RiderNav connection active. After deleting the TFT pairing:
Go to your bike's TFT settings
Remove/forget the BMW TFT Bluetooth connection
Keep only the RiderNav Bluetooth pairing
Restart both systems
This has restored normal countdown display functionality for affected users.
