Re: Pairing order help needed.

Hello Rossyuk39. Thanks for your input. I have recently changed my phone. (I got shot of the Huawei and replaced it with a Motorola) and I have replaced my Nav V with Nav VI. I haven't yet had the chance to pair them all up yet but fingers crossed!

Anyone fancy a tour?

Hello Guys. I have organised a tour for myself and some of my buddies that I have toured with for the past 2 years. Unfortunately after booking the hotels it transpires that two chaps can't make it this year. This leaves a twin bedded room available if any one wants to take their place. Brief detail...

Re: driveshaft failure?

Bike had just over 35600 miles on clock. Dealer serviced from new. The splines had worn off the driveshaft and also damaged the final drive so that was replaced too. Thank goodness for the BMW warranty!

driveshaft failure?

Last Saturday I was unfortunate enough to suffer a breakdown, or to be more precise my bike did! (2016 RT.) I have the extended warranty and after a couple of phone calls and texts my bike was swiftly recovered and I was put in a taxi to take me home. Excellent service from BMW warranty and breakdow...

Re: Panel removal help

I'm pretty certain it just pulls off. It is held on by three 'dog's dicks' that slot into rubber mounts/grommets.  Be careful when refitting particularly the top one which can, if you're not careful, break the lug on the painted panel. Don't ask me how I know!

Black Widow exhaust

Hi all, my exhaust headers on my 2016 RT are starting to show their age with rust spots that will not polish out. I am considering replacing them with some stainless steel ones made by Black Widow. Has anybody done this and if so how do they measure up for quality , keeping them clean etc. Also I wo...

Re: Oil Smell

I too had an oily smell on my old 2005 RT which I finally traced to a worn/ill fitting O ring on the oil filler cap. New O ring fitted-no more smell!

BMW Navigator V speed alerts.

I wonder if anyone can help with this problem I have with the speed alerts and speed camera proximity warning sounds from the BMW Navigator V. When I used to creep over the speed limit the Nav V would sound a warning and at the same time lower the music from the factory fitted radio by approx 50%. I...

Re: Pairing order help needed.

After further investigation then pairing a different phone to the Nav V it would appear that my new phone (Huawei Y6 2019) is programmed to auto answer when in bluetooth mode more or less immediately as a call comes in. I don't hear the phone ring through my helmet speakers but the Nav V screen show...

Re: Pairing order help needed.

Happy to report that thanks to your help some progress has been made. I paired Autocom to Nav V then phone to Nav V and it is now functioning apart from one glitch: When a call comes in it auto answers then cuts off more or less immediately. I don't know if this is Nav V fault or Phone fault. Any id...

Re: Pairing order help needed.

Thanks Rambler358. I had done that previously but if the phone rang I didn't know who it was. I believe with Smarlink the  caller's number appears on the Nav V screen and you have the option to accept or decline

Pairing order help needed.

I have a 2016 LC RT with audio pack(radio) fitted. I have tapped into the speaker wires and enjoy music, sat nav directions etc. through my hard wired Autocom SPA. I have added the Autocom BTM02A bluetooth module. I wish to use Garmin Smartlink to make or receive calls but do not know the correct or...

Re: Rear Rack on a 2017 R1200 RT

My old 49 litre top box from my old 2005 RT fits straight on to my 2016 RT. In some respects the old style top box is better because it has a carrying handle. The new style from 2014 does not.
