Works well once you add a USB hub!
Huge thanks to Garmin Support for their help in getting this to work reliably with my 2023 Yamaha TMAX Tech Max! When using a newer and larger smartphone like the Apple 14 Pro, you might find that navigation and other functions keep disconnecting after about 30 seconds when using a cable to connect your phone to the TMAX. If you use wireless mirroring there is no problem. Garmin advised that if you add a small USB hub in between the TMAX USB port and your phone then the connection will not drop out and it works! The phone also charges which is great 😊 I hope that Yamaha are aware of this issue and provide a proper fix for their TMAX customers please 🙏
Does not work longer than 30 seconds
Paying a premium price for a subscription to a product that does not work properly with a current iPhone. It connects the first time but only works for about 30 seconds and then disconnects and refuses to connect again. Have connected Bluetooth, WiFi and original USB cable from Apple and it still fails after a very short time. Have tried with the MyRide App running and without but it still does not work. Have also updated the CCU but still no good. Very disappointing given the Yamaha TMAX costs $20,000 here in Australia and the navigation option just doesn’t work! 😞
Totally broken and unusable
Update: After properly testing it past few weeks it’s a disaster and completely unusable. It will crash after max 30min of use and then every 30 seconds. It’s a massive headache to get started having to manually start the app and accept terms then plug it in sequence then start other apps and run in background 24/7 it’s just a nightmare and I’ll have to try get subscription refunded it’s just that bad. Trying to plan a route of just 3 stops forget it ! UX is horribly bad from the 90s and just broken in almost every way. It’s the only app that can be used with the TMax so I feel a few law suits coming their way for such a premium product Yamaha absolutely dropped the ball on this one there is really nothing that works every feature is broken every workaround is broke can’t see them fixing this Garmin also has a poor track record and virtually no customer service. Hope this review can help someone Overall it worked pretty well on my TMax setup with fairly straightforward however I cannot get it to work on wifi only seems like a bug so have to plug it in. Main issue is entering your destination is clumsy to downright horrible, nearly impossible while on the bike which is kind of the point! Can’t recognise any place names have to google the address first then enter it in by street number then suburb etc what a mess. A bug I found already is if you go into set your destination then go out and come back a second time you loose all the options only way to enter an address is to take phone out unplug kill the app restart and then it works. Atleast while navigating it did work fairly well, most things on this and the new TMax is somewhat rushed I can understand so I just hope they keep releasing updates and listen to us as it’s an expensive machine and app.
