None of these options solve the problem for me. I want my ThunderBox power switch to come on when the ignition is switched on, and to stay on even during engine cranking.
Any auxiliary output controlled by the Canbus will shut off briefly during engine cranking which also prompts the ThunderBox to ...

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
My last post was May 2023, not long after I had bought the 23 RT with Michelin Road6 GT as standard.
I got 18,000Km on those tyres and they still had at least 3-5,000Km left but I was about to start on a tour around Australia of 16,000 Km in June 2024. I couldn't get Road 6 GT's at my dealership ...

Re: Software version
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,,

Re: 1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
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 ...

Re: 1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
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.

Re: 1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
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 ...

Re: 1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
If this unintended reset problem doesn't happen on your bike you may have an earlier software version to my 014-013-030.

Re: 1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
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 ...

1250RT Comfort Turn Indicator Setting resets itself
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 Settings/Vehicle ...

Re: Nav VI not happy
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 ...

Re: RT Settings Need to be Reset Everyday ???
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 ...
