Hi all.

Just a thought....should the forum name be extended to include the new 1300RT?

Also....I'm thinking about buying one so all thoughts / advice welcome. I currently have a R1250RT LE which is now 3 years old (bought from new) with FSH through BMW local dealership. It has c.19k miles and has ...

I had exactly the same question running the Cardo system. The answer lies in the 'Motorrad Connected App'. In the App go to 'Navigation Settings' and the scroll down the page. There is advice re the 'Output Channel' there and you need to select the 'Music' option rather than the 'Phone' option ...

Thanks guys - all very helpful.

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the speaker volume in my helmet headset please? When my helmet pairs up with the TFT the helmet icon appears at the bottom of the screen which seems to default the volume (understandably) to about the half-way position on the 'volume squares scale' that ...

3 years on and mine is as dry as a bone. Don't accept the dealer version - ludicrous! As Gareth1962 said.....why the rubber seal if it's not meant to be waterproof?

Hi Guys

Me and my mate are thinking of touring Norway next year [from the UK] with the aim of reaching Nordkapp. We know it is a long way! We would welcome any tips / advice from riders who have already done this please. Things we are interested in include, posssible route - without just slamming ...

Hi Motor3725

Thanks for letting me know. Pity it doesn't sort the problem though. I'm really frustrated by this as having spent £'000s on a new bike I expect the nav to work perfectly. I do not see why I should have to buy and fit a second nav to compensate for BMW's inability to get this fixed ...

Hi Guys

Said I'd keep you all in the loop so...... just had this from BMW...

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your e-mail. We appreciate your efforts to direct your request to us.

We know about the mentioned behaviour of the auto zoom ...

Hi

Under normal circumstances you should not have to restart the app after you stop the bike for any reason - it should just auto-connect and, until recently, always has done. When it works it is fine! There is no problem with your phone being in the compartment dock and this does not, in my ...

Just a thought....... if everyone also reported the problem it might just give us the leverage we need to make BMW get off their rear ends and sort it out!

Matt

Hi Guys.

Brilliant thread and very informative. Just to keep everyone in the loop I have now reported the problem to BMW using the 'Report Problem' function within the app (thanks Yorkie!)

I'll get back to you all when / if I get a response.

Any further info then keep posting........ we can't all ...

Thanks guys for getting on this and replying to me. Sorry you are all suffering the same frustration. I used to have a dedicated phone for the bike just to run the app / TFT - it was an old Samsung S10 and never gave any problems. However, updated to a Samsung S22 in January and now I'm using that ...

Hi Motor3725

That's interesting and thanks for joining the debate. My phone is Samsung Galaxy s22 and is only 4 months old. Sorry to hear you are having similar problems because it is extremely irritating and is actually unsustainable. Your satnav needs to be reliable 100% of the time. If you ...

Hi Jesim1

Thanks for taking the time to reply - appreciated. My phone is quite new and has loads of free Ggbytes. Plus I always install any updates to versions of the phone's software so I feel the problem must lie elsewhere. As you can imagine it is very frustrating because I'm constantly having ...

Hi guys


Can anybody tell me what is going on? My BMW Connected app sometimes (often!) shrinks the home page (the one with the weather on etc) into the top half of the phone screen and then it also does the same with the maps when it bluetooths up to the TFT. The only way I can solve it is to ...
