Ducati Link

It took a while to get up and running but once in, the app works! First off all, only a few bikes are supported: newer DesertX, Diavel, XDiavel, Hypermotard, Monster, Streetfighter, Multistrada, Panigale and Scrambler. I believe that you need a Bluetooth module, and a Ducati Navigation license and Turn-by-Turn (TBT) assigned to your bike. It’s a quirky app and I’m still learning but like it so far. I’m using an iPhone 15Pro, Cardo Packtalk EVO, on a 2026 XDiavel V4. The best luck I’ve had for a planned trip, is to create and download your map formatted for GPX. I use the InRoute app and export plans to GPX, then open through Ducati Link. Have the app open, start your bike and have the Bluetooth connect to the bike. Your instrument cluster will then show the turn-by-turn and other settings available. After the bike is started and the bike is connected, I open the Cardo Bluetooth to connect my helmet. Everything works fine! I hope this helps riders out there! I haven’t found any good instruction through Ducati or social media! My next test is to plan a trip directly through the app, but the GPX is reliable! Fingers crossed! Stay safe!

I find it incredible that Ducati would have its name associated with this app. I can’t even register as it keeps freezing up. I’ve seen this app has had reviews from 6-7 years ago, and they still can’t provide a functional app. Really disappointing. I would recommend taking this app offline, get some feedback on what your clients need in Bluetooth connectivity and start over. For me, the best thing you could do is incorporate Apple CarPlay into your system, and create either Bluetooth or hardwired connectivity. Either way you should just remove this app. I certainly wouldn’t put my name on it.

Clumsy and slow interface. Like if you want to plan a ride, you cannot change start location, it’s always gonna be current location. Buttons often need to be pressed twice to react - I’ve got a feeling I’m using 10y old phone even though I’m on the latest one. Disappointed with such a half-baked work for premium bikes.
