For more information about how to setup remote controllers in DMD², use this guide.

Getting Started

Install the Remote

Get some room in your handlebar (aprox 2cm) for where you are going to attach the remote - we recommend next to the grip.
Tighten the bracket by starting with the top screw, make sure you fully tighten the top screw first.
Secure the cable in a way where it wont get cut or damaged by the handlebar movement.

For DMD Devices

If you have a DMD device you will only need to connect a single connector to the device harness.

In the case of the T865 all harnesses already include the required connector.
In the case of the T665 you will need the optional splitter (which you usually need to choose when you purchase the remote).

For Non-DMD Devices

Included M9 to 12V, use this to provide power to the remote.
Connect the open wires to your motorcycle 12V. Make sure you do this connection post-ignition so that the remote will turn off when you turn off the ignition.

Bluetooth Pairing - Non DMD² devices

If you are using our Remote 2 in a non DMD device then you will be using it with the Bluetooth connection. To set the device in pairing mode you need to follow this instructions:

Make sure the device is turned off (no LED light)
Press and hold the second round button
Without releasing the second round button power the device
Now you can search for the device in the bluetooth devices list on your tablet or phone

Not sure how to pair a device in Android? Watch this video.

For DMD devices you do not need to pair the device using bluetooth, all communications will be done by cable.

Buttons App

For DMD devices the Buttons app is part of the system. You just need to open it once, provide any requested permission, tap on "Remote Settings" and make sure you enable "Use Cable Connection".

For non DMD devices you will need to manually install the app. You can open this page in your tablet or phone and click on this link to download the latest version of the APK.

This app takes care of communications and offers minimal settings, most of the configuration will be done in the DMD² app.

You can also find a button testing interface to diagnose any issue with the remote, just tap on the "Test Buttons" button.
For a list of known compatible apps you can tap on the "Supported Apps" button.

LED Indicator

The front LED indicated the connection state. There are only 3 states:

Blinking Blue - Advertising for Bluetooth connection (not connected)
Fixed Blue - Bluetooth connection is the active connection
Fixed Red - Cable connection is the active connection

Please notice that blinking blue does not mean it can be paired with a new device, to pair it, you need to follow the already mentioned procedure of holding the second button when turning on the device (scroll this page up to the BT Pairing section).

If no on-screen keyboard pops up when you tap on any text input type box chances are you need to enable the "On-Screen Keyboard" setting in the Android input settings. This usually is required to do once when you connect a remote controller by bluetooth.

You can find this setting in Android Settings app > System > Language / Input.

In the video you can see a case for this issue, you can also notice that when this happens you usually have a persistent notification that you can tap to then enable the on-screen keyboard.
