Electronics » 2 TFT Issues

1 Sport Display
2 speed zone display.

1. At my 2nd annual service the TFT software was upgraded and I now have the "Sport" display. It is accessed by pressing the down button to get the 2nd level menu. It is the 1st choice on that horizontal menu and the display is another down click. I had read of the display but had not seen any how to explaination to bring it up.

2. I cannot get a reading from my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 of the
speed zone. I know how to turn the function on and off, but it only shows " - - -".

Can anyone help?

To display the speed zone/limit you need to have your phone connected to the TFT with the "BMW Motorrad connected" app running and location services turned on.

Thank you. I had assumed, stupidly, it used Google maps.

Well, a bit more time, a bit more confusion.

Yes, my BWM Connect App was out of date. I corrected that. I paired to the bike, and the app on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 worked fine.

HOWEVER, the speed advisory applet on the TFT does not display speed, it merely displays "- - -".

I have paired, re-paired, re-booted and nothing fixes it.

I do have the Nav V which gives me the same function, so it is not a huge disappointment. I will need to find another phone to see if it is a Samsung issue or not.

If there is a setting, somewhere, on the phone or on the TFT that may make it work, I would be grateful to know of it.

Otherwise, yes, I was wrong. The Sport option is the second option on the horizontal menu. It is pretty snazzy giving you the read-outs on braking force and lean angle. Is the DTC is wheelspin?

I will try and resist the temptation to chase the numbers.

I prefer the BMW app using Tom tom mapping in a bike related app to any car app.

I have found that if your head set/helmet is connected to your phone it creates problems. I have the helmet and the phone connected to the TFT and not to each other. This way everything runs from the TFT, music, phone calls and navigation. The only problem I can't solve is using the wonder wheel to adjust the volume. Sure I can tell Cardo to raise or lower the volume or turn on the music or shut it off but I'd like to be able to fully control it from the wonder wheel as my buddy does on his RT. He keeps telling me I need to establish a wifi signal...that confuses me. I understand bluetooth and pairing but not wifi. How can wifi come into play here, am I not grasping something?

Thanks, any info would be very helpful

I think you may have to toggle on speed limit setting on the bike settings itself. Last menu and customize the TFT display. (Going from memory here)
