Music Mode 

If you intend to use the music mode feature: it is best to install the module somewhere near a speaker so music can be 
picked up by the microphone. Depending on how loud you like your music, proximity of the BIM-RGB module to the 
speaker can be adjusted to get the sensitivity you would like. If the m

usic is too loud the LED’s will appear to be on all the 

time since it can overload the microphone. If the music is too quiet the LED’s may not flash at all. This may require some 
experimentation to get this to meet your individual taste. 
Loud exhaust and convertible wind noise will affect the lighting making the LEDs appear on all the time, or the LEDs may 
flash when tapping the throttle. 

 

Controlling the BIM-RGB with the Dakota Digital Accessories App 

The Dakota Digital Accessory App (green icon) can connect by Bluetooth to setup the BIM-RGB module. 
The app is available from Google Play for Android/Google devices and the Apple Store for iPhones and iPads. 

App Connecting and pairing: 

 

Apple devices do not need to be paired.  Just have the BIM-RGB powered up and open the Dakota Digital 
Accessory App, as it will automatically pair in the background. 

 

Android devices must be paired prior to opening the Dakota Digital Accessory App.  In Settings > Connections > 
Bluetooth, the scanning will find a device starting with DDX…  Tap to pair and tap “Pair”.  Then open the app. 
Future connections will not require pairing as the BIM-RGB is in the list of Bluetooth devices. 

App Operation: 
Once the app is open, tap on the BIM-RGB from the list.  

Tap on “Setup” and then tap on “Lighting”.
