(For an Android smartphone, turning on "Automatic connection" from "Miscellaneous Settings" in the Y-Connect menu is required. In addition, depending on type and conditions of the smartphone used, the app and the motorcycle may not connect automatically. For details, refer to "How to setup other smartphones"new window.)
