GS-911 / Messed Up TPM Replacement, Can It Be Saved?
« Last post by ElPolloDiablo on September 24, 2025, 01:37:06 PM »
I installed a new TPM bought from BMW in the front wheel of my R1200RT LC. These are new "sealed" Schrader units.

Being the idiot that I am I decided the "PN:" followed by seven digits stamped on the sensor was the new sensor identification number so I input that to learn the sensor manually. Turns out it isn't since there's no feedback coming from the front sensor, but no error either. And that's about it, I have no idea what to do now. No, I don't own a "wake up tool" nor have I any intention to buy one to use it once in 8-9 years.

If anyone can help I'll be grateful, otherwise I will just try to replace the battery in the old one and take the loss on this sensor.

Thanks

how old is the windows machine, Win 10 or is it much older? if older than win 10 I'd find another way to get a Windows license, otherwise you can take that License and set it up like a grown up on the Apple device (and end up with a real computer and an apple mac book)


You can run Windows applications on a MacBook using Apple's Boot Camp to install Windows
Or by using virtualization software like Parallels or PlayOnMac.

Either method allows you to access Windows programs, but Boot Camp requires rebooting (in to Windows), while virtualization lets you run them alongside macOS.

Apple Methods to Run Windows Apps on MacBook Boot Camp

    Compatibility: Works on Intel-based Macs (aka any recent one).
    Installation: Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition.
    Usage: Requires rebooting to switch between macOS and Windows.
    Windows License: Required.

Virtual Machines

    Options: Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion.
    Compatibility: Can run on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (with limitations).
    Installation: Install Windows within a virtual environment.
    User Experience: Allows running Windows apps alongside macOS apps without rebooting.
    Windows License: Required.

PlayOnMac

    Compatibility: Free software for running many Windows applications.
    User Friendliness: Simple to use.
    Windows License: Not needed.

General Discussion / Re: Dwa
« Last post by botus on September 19, 2025, 05:10:41 PM »
not surprised they made it harder to fit on later bikes...   as more toys go on vehicles and they design them to die ever faster, the more spares become available to upgrade poverty spec models - so the manu find new ways to stop us doing it

the DWA module on the later bikes is different from the earlier simple bikes... its great this retrofit functionality exists - I had DWA coding done on an early bike at a dealership - but they no longer knew how to pair the alarm fobs....

ezCAN / Re: Hexcan drain battery??
« Last post by WernerM on September 17, 2025, 10:52:25 AM »
Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out.

Does the ezCAN go into sleep mode a few seconds after the ignition is turned off? If the Green LED on the ezCAN turns off, this tells us the ezCAN has gone to sleep. In the sleep state, the ezCAN power draw would be inconsequential.

Were you able to test for any more draw with the bike turned off?

Lastly, how is the bike stored? Litium batteries can misbehave (oversimplification, I know) or fail prematurely if exposed to sub 0°C (32°F). It's recommended to keep these batteries between 0-25°C when in use and charging.

Kind regards,
Werner.
