Re: Wunderlinq/Blackboxembedded

This looks like it confirms using with non LCD Rt's....... old footage but as previous message they say it works with the older style bikes.

Re: Wunderlinq/Blackboxembedded

Thinking out loud, I wonder if we could use this on the non LCD RT's and get rid of the Nav6 ..... just cant get along with the Nav6 especially annoying re the cost......

Would this effectively give us Apple car play on our phone screen? Interested to see how Mozza gets on..

Re: Possible recall

Might be a silly question but why would they check a RTp and not apply the same thinking to a RT? If one needs a drain hole surely they all do.....

Re: Possible recall

Ive just booked my 2020 in for a service with BMW, 8500 miles, two yr service, was told that its just an oil change, valves checked at 12k..... but I was also due a final drive service. Is it normal for a bevel boxoil change at this point? Or are they just doing this recall and charging me for it......

" I've had two sets of headers on my 1250"[/font][/size]
I had mine replaced last month at 8k miles, my mate is waiting to get his in for the same.... 2021 model with <1500 miles... when will BMW find a fix for this, must be costing them a fortune.
