Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

as this is "general stuff" not off topic -  I see on the "other" forum that North American RTs now come with Brembo front callipers as standard, due to the reported problems with leakage from some of the Hayes calipers.  Somewhat ironic that the US doesn't get t...

Re: 2021 TFT Connection Issue, help needed.

I've been doing some more faffing - Deleted all pairings on the SC1A and then re-paired the TFT as "second mobile phone" - I don't know if this makes any difference to it being "mobile phone".  Reset all network settings on the iPhone, then re-paired it to the TFT and t...

Re: 2021 TFT Connection Issue, help needed.

This is what I said in reply to BMW support:- The phone I am using on the bike is an Apple iPhone SE (second generation), although I experience the same issues with an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Both phones are on iOS 14.5.1 The software version of my TFT display is 011_007_035 The version of the connected ...

Re: Rukka Forsair Pro Jacket Size 50 with Rukka back protector

Thanks speedy - yes I should have mentioned that my "usual" jacket size is EU52 but this fits me better than a 52 Forsair Pro.  No room for bulky underlayers, but you'd have to be weird to wear those under one of these  :))

Re: 2021 TFT Connection Issue, help needed.

I use iPhones and have various "issues" as outlined in other threads, but I can usually get the wifi connection to work - when the connected app is running you should (eventually) see a message on the phone asking if you want to connect to "XXXXXXXXXXX" (I can't recall the long s...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

The plot thickens - with the bike phone connected by bluetooth only (i.e. connected app not started) I can play music from the phone to the Sena using the Media menu on the TFT. At this point I can also get "arrow directions" with voice instructions via the Navigation menu. If I now start ...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

This morning's progress bar.... I've managed to change the voice that the instructions are given in, although I would not say that it was intuitive....On iPhone go to Settings - Accessibility - Spoken Content (not something I've ever looked at as I have never needed these settings, fortunately)The d...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

I thought I would try and resolve my problem by deleting everything and starting again. So the only pair from the Sena is to the bike (this is not ideal but I thought it would remove any possible interference from other pairings) Re-downloaded the app and re-connected it to the bike. All appears fin...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

OK I'm starting to get annoyed now.  In playing around trying to find a way to change the voice on the Connected app (BMW have not bothered to reply to my query so far)  I have discovered that when the phone re-connects to the bike after e.g. stopping for petrol I no longer receive...

Re: Seriously considering an R1250 RT.... couple of questions for those in the know

Interestingly, if the translation of the sub-titles in this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nKp-qvcGrY  is correct, the Italians get a 4 year warranty and 5 years of roadside assistance.


Or maybe "interestingly" is not the right word..... >:(

Re: Seriously considering an R1250 RT.... couple of questions for those in the know

Lazlo - not really wishing to point any fingers but Arek refers to "loosing" in his reply above  :-*


I see this misuse of "loose" and "loosing" all over t'internet and it drives me bonkers.  The words have completely different meanings.


Sorry
