The Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100 offers smartphone connectivity through an optional accessory known as the Aprilia MIA multimedia platform. The latest version of this module, part number 2S002475, features updated hardware with built‑in memory capable of storing data from track sessions without requiring a connected smartphone. When paired with the additional GPS sensor (part number 2S002389), the module can record complete lap timing data independently.
I purchased the MIA unit from an authorized Aprilia dealer and decided to handle the installation personally. The official procedure involves removing the fuel tank to secure the module to the frame using two screws. Given the lightweight design, I opted instead for a simpler approach, mounting it with double‑sided adhesive tape. After several rides, the installation proved stable. Should the tank ever need to come off for maintenance, I may take that opportunity to add the screws as originally intended. Connection is straightforward: the blanking insert removed from the near plug, and the MIA unit connects directly to the existing harness.
Although my dealer mentioned that diagnostic pairing was unnecessary, an error message appeared when I powered up the bike. A quick visit to the dealership resolved the issue within about 15 minutes.
Once operational, the system provides Bluetooth pairing with iOS or Android devices, enabling phone and media control, navigation display on the TFT dashboard, and compatibility with the Aprilia MIA smartphone app for ride data analysis. However, I encountered a practical drawback during everyday use: when my phone was already streaming music to the helmet communicator, connecting the motorcycle over Bluetooth interrupted playback. To avoid repeated interruptions, I disabled the MIA pairing except when explicitly needed, such as for the built-in GPS or track‑related features.
This behavior is not exclusive to Aprilia’s system. I experienced identical issues with the connectivity interface on my Kawasaki H2 SX SE and previously on Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R, suggesting that the limitation lies in smartphone Bluetooth handling rather than in the motorcycle system itself. Riders who do not play music are unlikely to be affected.
Overall, the MIA module functions as a comprehensive connectivity platform and data‑logging tool for Aprilia’s high‑performance models. While not essential for everyday riding, it can be advantageous for those interested in performance analysis or GPS-based corner-by-corner electronics tuning, including traction control, wheelie control, and engine braking parameters, customizable via the MIA app for specific racetracks.
