BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

A number of other posts have covered the various bugs present in software release 014_013_030 including Comfort Turn Indicator option resetting itself to off and unpredictable trip computer resets etc. The release promised by BMW mid last year has now become available as of mid March and has the des...

Thats very good news indeed!!
I will be ringing my dealership on Monday.

yes 14_13_30 was the last revision which came out in mid 2024. Many of us are eagerly awaiting the next version due in March which we hope will resolve a number of issues around menu options resetting themselves, radio switching off, comfort turn indicator on setting reverting to off etc,,

I am getting used to this now and am sceptical that BMW have the capability to write reliable software - at least for the RT. My routine now before starting is 1 turn comfort indicator on 2 reset trip computer. 3 set TFT to split screen then the tricky process of getting maps up using connected ride...

There are some serious bugs in this software so I hope any release does a proper job. My dealer was told by BMW that they didn’t expect a release before March and I think that was a sign of the depth of concern they had about how bad the software had become.

Holding my breath.

You’re not alone. When it dawned on me the indicator wasn’t self cancelling any more I asked the dealer if there was an internal software setting they could change. When he said it was user selectable as menu item “comfort turn indicator” I realised I had looked at it but never clicked what it was. ...

If this unintended reset problem doesn't happen on your bike you may have an earlier software version to my 014-013-030.

The comfort indicator is a setting which enables the turn signal to cancel itself based on some internal software logic. The manual explains that it depends on number of factors but to me seems to primarily relate to distance travelled (whereas in a car of course there is a sensor on the steering wh...

This issue was partly covered in another post about "Software resets itself" but it is now an issue acknowledged by BMW. My 2023 1250RT spent a week at the dealership while they tried to work out why when I set the "Comfort Turn Indicator" option to ON (check box tick) in the Set...

If the unit is from a production run before about mid 2023 when they did a major housing redesign, then it probably only has a useable life of 12-18 months before the screen starts jumping between menus and not responding to touches. It's to do with the resin they used to bond the screen to the hous...

I suspect that will fix the issue providing the reinstall resets every possible option and flag. If this were a bug in the software I think we would have seen a lot more posts and the dealerships would have started to experience widespread feedback. My workshop guy is pretty sure it will be a glitch...

After further thought I realised that my problems started well before the upgrade to 014_013_030 I had to have the keyless ride module replaced in May and it took 6 weeks and the final step was reprogramming the bike using a laptop and software that connects to Berlin (so I was told). Since then I h...

Steve I understand why you abandoned using the mobile phone option to stream navigation. It is unreliable at best. I use it with an old dedicated iPhone 8 and only for navigation (ie no music streaming). I make sure my other iPhone 13 , which I use for music streaming to earphones, has wifi turned O...

I have exactly the same problem with my 2023 R1250RT resetting the Comfort Turn Indicator to the off position each day. I suspect somehow there is a software bug that causes this reset at the same time the trip #2 data gets reset. It doesn't reset when the bike is stopped and restarted, just when it...
