Hi gang, new from Lake Havasu City AZ

<< < (2/2)

FIRE UP:
I certainly appreciate the return message(s) here.
  I will get you your screen shots you asked for. As for the rarity of the LED non function, well that may be. But, according to your supplier here in the U.S. I'm not the only one it's happened to. And, while a non functioning LED *may* have no affect on the performance of the unit itself, when one pays that much for a tool like this, one wants ALL of it to function correctly. And, in my way of looking at this situation, since at present, I cannot tell if the unit is powered up, if something goes additionally wrong with it in the future, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, maybe next year, I won't be able to tell if it's my unit or my bike, or a wire that powers the unit up or ? See what I'm getting at? Therefore, the sooner I can get this unit replaced, the more confidence I'll have in the total operations of it.

 As far as my illogical tire readings and, the potential for a sensor or both, not being woken up, well, I'm not an expert on the operations of them but, here's the deal. I purchased the 2015 K1600 GTL-Exclusive in April of 2021 with 22,000 miles on it. The previous owner, was the original owner. Whenever there was any form of work on the bike needed, he was off to the local BMW dealer to have it done. With all that being said, one month before I purchased it, his dealer had installed TWO NEW tire pressure sensors, TWO new tires, a new battery and a full service on the bike. He'd had issues with the tire pressure sensors prior to this service.

The dealer installed the new sensors and flashed them into the bikes operations.  Now, for up to or around, maybe 6-8 months of me owning and riding that K1600, both of those tire sensors would activate within maybe 3-5 miles per hour and or, maybe a hundred or so feet of me starting a ride. Then, approximately maybe 3 or so months ago, the front would take its time registering on the dash. The rear was always right there, in the time I mentioned.  But, in the last month or so, BOTH of them are now taking their time time to register on the dash. I may go for several miles before either will register. And it's usually the rear that registers first. Then, if it feels like it, the front will appear.

My first GS911, which was returned due to a NON FUNCTIONING LED,, once it was all setup on the computer and bike, during an auto-scan, showed the front tire sensor malfunctioning several times. And, not only that but, it labeled the date and time those faults happened. I thought that was great. What I didn't think was so great was/is, the fact that those sensors, BOTH of them, are only a year old and are malfunctioning on a daily basis. And those were somewhere in the neightborhood of around  $120.00 EACH!!!!!!!    I am getting no tire pressure LOW BATTERY readings either on the dash or in the readings of the old GS911 or the replacement I have now.

 So, the assumption that the sensor in the front needs to be woken up is to me, not accurate, based on my knowledge of how the system has worked up to this point. And, in multiple auto scans from this new GS 911, the tire pressure monitor system is showing ZERO FAULTS and no malfunctions whatsoever. How can that be when either or both sensors fail to display on a regular basis?

  Now we come to the erroneous readings of 77 psi and -58 degrees.  Each time I run an auto scan or dive into the tire pressure controller system, again, not only do I not see any faults but, those are the readings I am presented with. And, also as stated previously, I know that the presented tire pressures are completely false as I have taken the psi readings more than a couple of times to make sure, my tires are where they're supposed to be for safe riding. And as for -58 degrees, well, if it's a soft ware item, and that much of an erroneous reading, then how am I to trust whatever else that GS911 is telling me in terms of accuracy in other bike functions? Gentlemen, again I appreciate your looking into my issues with your product for sure. But, as stated, this unit needs to be replaced.

FIRE UP:
Since I'm new to the forum, some forums don't allow for pics to be presented by newbies so, I'll give it a try. Here's the screen shots you asked for:

Well, I tried but, it replied that it was too large of a request so, I'll do this in an email.
