I have the latest update but annoyingly still get the Bluetooth disconnection issues (where the bike forgets that it has paired with my phone so I have to go in and re-pair it). Anyone else get that?

---

No connection problems with either my S8 or my new S20FE.

May be an iPhone issue, granted. I'm using an iPhone XS Max...

I get the lost connection issue on my bike. Forgets the phone or the intercom far to often. Planning on calling BMW to see if i can get a software update.

@jmarnell, If I'm tracking your setup correctly, I believe the Nav6 audio will come thru the TFT and over BT to your Packtalk. If you don't need/use the Garmin app on your phone that connects to Nav6 (limited value imo, especially compared to new BMW app).

If you can live without that, I think the following setup would work for you. Admittedly, I have Sena 50s, but am working on similar connection conundrums
1. first, reset/remove all BT pairings from Packtalk
2. Pair phone to TFT as mobile
3. Pair TFT to Packtalk as Phone 1 as helmet 1

I believe (but have not yet tested) this will send phone, music, BMW-app nav + hardwired Nav6 nav to TFT, which will send all audio to headset.

What I'm less sure about is if there's a way to activate Siri/Gvoice thru TFT. If anyone knows that, please share how :)

Having mine updated this Friday due to poor connectivity with Bluetooth, the dealer told me it will take 4 hours to complete, so I would suggest taking a good book if you are waiting for it.

What software version do you have? I would expect it to be up to date if your bike is dealer serviced.

Last weekend I got an engine warning light and a message (saying continue with your journey but make for a service agent etc, etc).

It came on after I had fired up and killed the engine almost immediately (to straighten up on an uphill slope and then let it roll back up under the shelter of the garage door while loading up in the rain).

Took the bike in late yesterday to get it checked over. Got told no major problems but bike (19 plate) needs a software update which will be done free of charge but will take 4 hours. Have booked it in on 22nd Dec.

I struggle to understand why the upgrade will take 4 hours? A Garmin map update for the entirety of Europe takes less than half that time on my PC. Of course I readily understand that there needs to be lots of error checking.

Meantime the warning light has been cancelled and the bike is running fine.

Maybe if your software is not recent you will want to avoid replicating my actions of killing the engine after only a few seconds running. I vaguely recall my ex's Renault Clio of 20 years ago that absolutely refused to start after a similar episode. The AA had to be called out to get it going!

The TFT software update taking 4 hours and tying up the dealer's diagnostic rig for that time is indeed comical.

Seems to be due to introducing a new component (the TFT) with large installed firmware but having to trickle uodates through the existing slow speed diagnostics interface, rather than fit a USB interface to the thing. I wonder what genious signed off on that design decision!

We recently bought a camper based on the Citroen Spacetourer MPV, and that has a USB interface through which owners can update the display firmware and the satnav mapping data themselves. I recently did this, with the firmware being about 4 GB and the maps update about 16 GB.

It rook about 45 minutes, with the only issue being that you have to have the engine running otherwise the stupid battery monitoring software shuts down the vehicles electrical systems after a maximum of 30 minutes, supposedly to avoid any risk of flattening the battery.

Just booked my March 20 R1250RS in for its 6000 mile service, advised no updates needed, but there may be some voluntary chargeable ones available, they say they will check when I come in for service.

Anyone in the UK had the sports screen and Bluetooth updates to the TFT screen done during a standard service (6k miles in my case) and either been charged or provided with the update at no additional charge. If so any info would be useful, so I can decide what the best course of action is.

Update provided at no charge at my 12 month service in Feb. Sports screen added and improved connectivity. Hasn’t forgotten my phone and intercom pairing since the update.

Mine went through its 6k/one year service today. There was no mention of a software update available but that is OK by me.
I had a R1250R on loan and this had the additional display mode. Hm well I guess it shows some new stuff but I probably wouldn't spend any money for it. Also I'm not bothered with phone connectivity.
The R1250R was good fun to ride, felt more lively compared to the RS, I'm wondering if the final drive ratio is a bit lower to give it more pep (but less top speed). Also the handlebars are very comfortable. But the wind blast is not good on the motorway.

I believe the latest version of firmware is 022_007_020.

Is that correct?

I pretty much guarantee they flash it through the ODB port. That's how cars with CANBUS work. I don't know how long the process takes on these bikes, but I also pretty much guarantee it's not 3-4hrs.

As for as connecting devices, I have both my iPhone (11 Pro) and Cardo Packtalk Bold BT'd to the bike, not the Cardo connected to the phone. Overall, it's been pretty stable though my phone has had to repair a few times. I have the sport screen though I'm not sure of the firmware version. I'll check it tomorrow.
