Re: Wonderwheel not functional on my 2016RTW when using my Nav V from my 2014 R12GSW

I can't see BMW making two 2017MY bikes with different onboard computer / software. If yours doesn't have the Nav 5 integration then that strongly suggests to me it's actually a late 2016MY bike. If it was sold to you as a 2017MY bike then you should be having strong words with your dealer. That oc...

Re: Wonderwheel not functional on my 2016RTW when using my Nav V from my 2014 R12GSW

As far as I can see the integration is exactly the same for the 2016+ RT as it is for the 2013+ GS(A). I understand that earlier versions of the RT didn't have the full integration though. That would be a good improvement.  So, on the 16 RT does the Nav5 monitor the bike itself - tyre pres...

To get control of the Nav 5 you have to scroll down the menu system until you find the option for the Navig...

Re: Indicator lights at startup

Normal start-up I get a red warning triangle and two amber ones. The red one goes away after a couple of seconds, the two amber ones as soon as the wheels have completed a couple of rotations. So what you are describing seems perfectly normal. or it's the second example of the same fault... ;)
