BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi, are you still looking to swap? I have an RT that already has the sport screen, but my brother who has recently bought a new RT has the standard OEM screen but prefers mine, having swapped them over with him to try. I know he was looking to see if he could get one from BMW at some point, but sure...

I am also having issues with this whole connection app. I am also using an Sc1 advanced Bluetooth unit. Although I am getting maps and navigation loaded on every start up, I have not actually tried using navigation yet. I am having endless issues trying to get my spotify music app to work flawlessl...

Thanks. I have tried using Samsungs music app and did have some control, but my music is on Spotify and I don't think there is anyway of transferring it over. At the end of the day the media should work with any app, but it is a BMW so I guess I'll have to make do

Thanks DavidMck A great help. I have pretty much the same set up except I use Sena 20s headsets, but what I can't seem to work out is how to get the music controllable from the wonderwheel, (I'm using Spotify),I.e forward/back track/pause etc.. Any idea? I guess it's something in the setup or how y...

Hello bmw owners. Please confirm this. On the 21 RT with TFT new display. On this new system to get full functionality of the system the cell phone Must Be connected to the charging/data port on the RT? I am currently on a 2017 RT using the Nav6. Connected wirelessly of course. If true I do not lik...

A modicum of success with the audio and satnav.  Had a ride out yesterday and I now have "almost" full control over the audio (playing via Samsung Music - Samsung Galaxy 10), it all seems to be down to the order in which you turn stuff on, and was found by pure luck. What it appea...

Hi it's a similar story to my set up I seem to have to have the Spotify app open and track playing on the phone to get music you also need to have the mottorad app open if you want navigation I think this is an android phone thing. I have read somewhere that the volume control via the bmw tft only ...

So, another trip out and more questions than answers.  Good news is that my Sena 20S and Samsung S10, works and phone charges fine, mapping works very well from .gpx routes imported from Basecamp (works better than Nav V) and audio from media is fine, except... For audio, playing media from...

Thanks for that, I hoped that would be the case.

I too have noticed the "warm up" time for the maps, and like you tour Europe and various corners of the UK, so will need to get used to that.  I guess in a few weeks we'll be wondering what all the fuss has been about :-)

Thanks for this DavidMck, a very thorough explanation, and it certainly does answer some of the niggles I've been having - when you say that the audio mutes when you stop the bike, do you mean “stop” as in come to a standstill, or turn off?  Hopefully the latter ☹.  I was playing w...

Yes. Music via Spotify, satnav via BMW Connected app to two Sena 20s headsets. Does seem hit and miss at times though, and still getting the hang of it.  On my display there is no mute icon though, and button 1 now doesn't seem to do anything. When trying music earlier there was no sound, b...

Thanks DavidMck I knew it would be obvious, I'll take a look when I get home.

Thanks, mine is an S10 too, so I'll monitor it to what happens, it would be a pain to have to restart it each time though, if that is the case

Interesting that AndyL434 has found that you need to restart the BMW app when you turn off the ignition, that might explain some teething issues/frustrations I've been having - seems like that might become annoying if having short stops, for filling up for fuel etc, has anyone else found this and do...

Hi, yes, it's a bit of a minefield with all the different volume on the Samsung S10 (and others I guess) but I think I have that cracked now.  I still haven't seen the "mute" icon on the TFT yet, but it's probably staring me in the face :-)  Thanks for all the advice :-)
