BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just had a look at my weather app, and its 92% chance of rain at home and 94% chance of rain in Oxford tomorrow.
So it looks like i'm going to get very wet riding over to Oxford and back
But look on the bright side, It gives me a break from SWMBO, or is that its gives SWMBO a break from me

Wonder how Easysailer is getting on with his Oxford outing

I'm Home.

Fuck there are some pricks on the road, but im safely home now.
I left at just gone 5am and got there about 7.10am.
It was dry when i left home, but as soon as i got to Swindow it hammered down
When the rain started i slowed down from 70 to 50/55 mph.
NOG dont open until 8am, but i was let in at 7.30 so i could have a coffee.
My bike was taken into the workshop about 8.10am.
about 80 mins later i was told that they could not code the radio to my bike.
They tried a couple of times i was told. I then said to them "the old VIN was removed first yes".
back to the workshop they go and 30 mins later i was told my bike was ready.
I was told that they were able to code it to my bike. But did not say why they could not at first.
I think the tech guy tried to code it without removing the old VIN first.
It took nearly 2 hours to do a 20 min job, but i think the tech guy will know now how to do it.
Anyway it works, and i was able to listen to radio 2 at 70mph at full volume part the way home.
Just need to fit a DAB+ unit now so it auto tunes to the station.
All in all i am very happy with how North Oxford Motorrad delt with me.
And i'm going to take my bike there for its big service next year.
It cost me just £50 for them to code it to my bike.
What i will say, if anyone is thinking of removing there audio system.
Get them to remove the VIN from the audio ecu as well.

That's a reasonable price from BMW
