BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Update:  I got my bike out of storage a few weeks ago and played with the NAVVI and BMW audio settings and am now getting the voice commands loud and clear through the bike's audio system.  Not sure why it didn't work before, but i was probably an error on my part.

Thanks for the info folks. The bike is currently in storage for the long Canadian winter, but as soon as I pick it up I will be trying to get it to work, based on your comments.

Retiring this year and taking off July and August to burn off some leave. Going to start at the most easterly point of North America (Cape Spear in my home Province of Newfoundland) and then heading West across Canada to Whitehorse, Yukon on a solo bike trip. Will take a quick run from Whitehorse to...

No I haven't...thanks for the suggestion

I too find the seat uncomfortable after about 1 hour of riding and start squirming.  I am planning a really long trip this summer and have been trying different things for comfort.  Not sure if they would help with your specific problem, but I have done the following with varying d...

Sorry to take so long to reply....yes I have turned on voice prompts in the NAV VI menu but I still get nothing.  If you are certain that you can get them through your RT's speakers then I will have to play with the menus again and see if I can get it to work.  I have asked the dea...

Yes, that is what I am asking.  I have been unable to get voice commands through the speakers of my 2017 RT.  I do occasionally hear a "beep" through the RT's audio system that I think is caused by the GPS, but that is it.

Is there any simple way to be able to receive the NAV VI voice prompts through my 2017 RT audio system?  Or must I invest in a blue tooth communication system for my helmet?  I find it incredible that I can't get the GPS voice commands through the audio system.

Lovin' the rt.  A joy to ride.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

Welcome fellow Canuck!  Seems to be a common story.  I returned to the bike this year, after a 29 year hiatus.  Purchased a new 2017 rt that I picked up in May and am just shy of 3K on the odometer.  Planning a cross Canada trip next year....St. John's, NL to Whit...

Thanks for the comments....very helpful.

Hi folks: I have been looking for a comms system for my 2017 r1200rt which has the radio and NAV VI.  I have a SHOEI Neotec II helmet and I see that Sena has the new SRL Bluetooth Communication System that is specifically designed for use with this helmet.  I am wondering if anyon...

Thanks for the advice LAF....I will switch to the volt display and keep an eye on it.

It is a new bike and the battery is good.  The flashing is in a pattern.  It has not occurred since, that I know of, but I'm not sure I would notice it. I did have my bike in for its 1000 km check and told the dealer about it and showed him the video.  He put the bike on t...

Thanks for the reply Smileymiley. The only issue is that my wife could see them flashing with the naked eye and that is why she started filming it, so there must be another answer.
