Pillion

Alpha · Android & iOS

Download Pillion

Android is ready now — grab the APK below. iPhone support has landed too, with a sideloadable build coming in the next release. Pillion is in alpha: it works but is rough, and the protocol and UI may still change. Expect bugs, and please report them.

What you need

  • An Android phone (iPhone support landing soon).
  • A Yamaha with a Garmin CCU dash (works with Garmin StreetCross).
  • Your phone already bonded to the bike over Bluetooth.
  • 'Install unknown apps' enabled for your browser or file manager.

Install & run

  1. 1

    Download the APK

    Grab the latest Pillion.apk from GitHub Releases.

  2. 2

    Sideload it

    Open the APK and allow installation from your browser or file manager.

  3. 3

    Prepare the bike

    Pair your phone to the bike's Bluetooth and select the navigation screen on the TFT.

  4. 4

    Start casting

    Open Pillion, grant the screen-capture prompt, tap Start, then open Waze or Maps in landscape.

Run only one projection app at a time — close Garmin StreetCross or Yamaha MyRide first, or they'll fight Pillion for the connection.

Staying up to date

Pillion checks GitHub Releases on launch and shows an in-app banner when a newer build is available, with the changelog. Tap Get to download it.

iPhone

Coming next release

iOS support has landed — the same app, built from one shared codebase. There's no App Store build; you'll sideload it with a free Apple ID (AltStore or SideStore auto-refresh it). A downloadable IPA ships in the next release.
