Mounting:

The included charging holder needs to be secured to a base with AMPS bolt pattern, screws are provided but you should make sure you have a base with this hole pattern already installed in your motorcycle. For each installation/motorcycle model there are usually plenty of AMPS pattern bases, if you have a navigation tower, chances are it already includes a base like this, if not, you need to search one for your motorcycle model / tower.
Most GPS Mounts will work, you can check some here.

Please Notice: There are two holders, the first version and the second version. Both are compatible with all DMD-T865 tablets and if you have the first generation you can buy the new metal holder to upgrade yours.

Data cables for accessories

Black – Connect to ground (negative), post ignition or directly to battery makes no difference.
Red – Connect to battery positive directly or post ignition. – If connecting post ignition pair it with green cable.
Green – This wire commands the power supply, if it gets power it will turn on the power supply. If you are connecting everything post ignition then group this with red (join both). If you are connecting the red directly to battery you can use the Green as a “switch”, so connect it to a post-ignition or to a switch and back to positive.

Purple and White – for data, in case in the future we release wired accessories, these two allow for data connection.
Purple – TX, White – RX, both follow the RS232 specification, they connect inverted to accessories with same connection, example:

Holder V2 Lock Notice

Riding Without Tablet:
If you are riding without the tablet inserted in the holder, always lock the holder to avoid damage to the lock mechanism.
Always Locked:
The system is designed to be used in lock position, never ride with the tablet inserted with the lock unlocked.
Side Screw Alternative:
If you cannot reach the lock, alternatively, you can use one M4 screw on the side which will lock the tablet also (view image on the left).

Holder V2 Check!

It extremely important that you check if all 4 pins are aligned when inserting the tablet in the holder.
There are two holder in the tablet bottom and two in the tablet back, these should align with the pins on the holder. Make sure the tablet is being correctly inserted and that all pins align and enter the tablet holes.
If the holder gets damaged (bent) and the pins do not align with the holes in the tablet, please do not use it like that or it will cause damage to the device.
When attaching:
If you feel too much pressure is required please check if the pins are all aligned!

Firmware Updates:

To make the firmware updates as simple as possible, every time we release an update you simply get a notification to update, just tap on the notification and it will start the download.
There are two types of firmware updates, complete updates which will move the firmware version up and included latest security updates, and partial updates which only update certain system apps and device settings, both use the same notification tap method.
After taping the notification the download will start, you can track the progress in the notification. When the download finishes the tablet will restart and apply the updates.

Auto Turn On and Off:

Auto Turn On is activated by default on all DMD-T devices, this means that if your device is turned off it will turn on as soon as it starts charging.
Auto Turn Off is fully configurable, it can be enabled or not, it can do a full shutdown or just turn off screen, show a dialog with a counter or not.
To setup Auto Turn Off you can use the included “Auto Off” app.
Auto Off app:
Auto Off options:
Auto Off dialog:

Default Home Launcher:

The default home launcher is the app which is shown when your device first starts or when you press the home button.
Some users like the tablet to behave more like a traditional Android device, with a regular launcher where they can launch any app including DMD2. Other users will use the tablet mostly on their motorcycles and want DMD2 to be the default home app.
Whatever you prefer, notice that, you can always change this at any time. Check the video bellow to see how.

In the video:

  • Open default Android Settings
  • Click Apps
  • Click Default Apps
  • Click Home app
  • Click on your preferred launcher app

No Keyboard when using a controller:

If after pairing a remote controller there is no software keyboard you just need to manually enable it.
If the on-screen keyboard is missing when you click on text input boxes, chances are you paired a remote controller and the system disabled the on-screen keyboard.
This setting can be changed at anytime and the setting will be remembered by the system (you only need to do it once).

In the video:

  • Pull the top notification drawer
  • Click on the notification with “Configure physical keyboard” title
  • Enable “Use on-screen keyboard”
  • Done!

This setting can also be found in Android Settings > System > Languages & Input
