Went to the dealer to have my defective keyless fuel tank cap fixed - while they were replacing the related $666 part (under warranty) I asked if they could update the software. Was told I would have to pay shop rate for however long it took the update to install. Going to wait till end of season. |

Zitat von MilesAway im Beitrag #19 That’s bull**** get on the phone or write an email to BMW Canada and complain don’t let them get away with that. We are not Beta testers and it’s not our problem if a simple software update takes hours. The TFT’s first software version was hot garbage the amount of issues people are having with it is ridiculous. |

Zitat von M3M im Beitrag #20 When the bike is on warranty and you don't have a complaint about something not working, a update is a chargeable item most times. If the bike is in for service the update is usually part of the service charge. If updates were free some people would stop in every month and ask for a update. I don't know about large shops but small shops only have one computer.

If BMW where think on their feet, they would allow downloads via a USB port on the bike instead of some specialized port that requires the dealer to do it. Maybe even have cables USB cables at the dealership so the customer could hook up, then shop for farkles or kick tires at the dealership. At my dealership, the mechanics have said they asked BMW NA why the updates take so bloody long to install. |

To be fair you are talking about transferring megabytes over what is a serial connection. Then the transfer has to be checked for errors, written to flash memory and checked again. Probably what takes all the time is the poncey animations that come up when you turn the ignition on and off |

Got mine done yesterday in Modesto, CA at Cycle Specialties BMW. Great sales, parts and service! I bought my bike from them and had it in for a second power socket. No charge for software update.

We used an older Poweroutlet kit with a bracket attached to the rear brake fluid holder bolt. I almost put it on the right rear painted panel, but it has odd angles and little space.

Zitat von V1_Rotate im Beitrag #21Zitat von MilesAway im Beitrag #19 I’m mostly stoked that I can now put fuel in my brand new $20,000 bike without pulling out a torx wrench to disassemble the fuel cap assembly ;-). You are right, I just don’t have the fight in me right now! |
