Re: 2021 R1250RT Phone Cubby Problem

You can carry your phone in your pocket but it needs power, a better solution is a Wunderlich handle bar bag.  If your phone is too big for the window put it in the bag.

Re: Autocom

The world has changed guys.  I used Autocom from about 2003-2017 on about six motorcycles, then I got a Shoei Neotech II helmet with a Sena SRL intercom.


The difference is staggering, everything works, no cables and no problems with leads etc.

Re: Feedback on latest update to the TFT

Hard to know what the problem could be, you may have some luck on the BMW LT site.  There is quite a bit on the site about the TFT and iphone.

Re: Route Planning Software - what do you use?

For those guys using Basecamp, you may have a problem ahead that you should be aware of.  First of all I have used Mapsource and Basecamp for the last 15 years so have a considerable library of routes. Last year I ordered a new R1250RT so I sold my BMW Nav Vi, in a way that was the beginnin...

Re: Howz about a 1250 thread

The map zooms in when lets say you are navigating a roundabout and you need that because the directions for say a roundabout is something like take the 3rd exit.  There is nothing in the directions panel to indicate which exit you need, you just get a graphic of a roundabout and a note of t...

Re: Howz about a 1250 thread

I am getting sucked into commenting again about the TFT, I will have to be stronger. Anyway, what I wanted to say was that the screen is nice but navigation around things range from difficult to plain stupid, for example, if you set the favourites display (which is the only thing on the bike you can...

Re: Howz about a 1250 thread

I don't want to hijack this thread but in conclusion regarding the TFT and navigation, it works, it is far from perfect and you gotta work around the problems, but I now have a procedure that works from planning to implementation.  Think I will do a video soon and pass on a little knowledge.

Re: Howz about a 1250 thread

On topic Think it should stay as is. Too much in common with the earlier models. Off topic Don't think your idea of NAV VII with Android OS would work, too many of us have Apple devices. Personally they should have just put CarPlay and Android Auto Play into the bike. Have a direct connection and a...

Yep and it has changed since I posted that, but that is buried under General Discussions  I think it needs its own section here, see screenshot.

Re: Howz about a 1250 thread

The R1200RT has evolved to the R1250RT and there are mechanical differences between all the RT models.  IMHO that's evolution, perhaps in a few years it will be a R1300RT or the R ALLELECTRIC RT. The single biggest difference between the R21RT and other models has been the TFT and connectiv...
