Factory I Level

<< < (2/3) > >>

GS Jim:
Just had the R1200 I-Level updated to  K001-17-07-513 (so newer than the one you mentioned Wayne) and it was done for free as it addressed fuel management issues and some other stuff to a degree to be considered covered under warranty (at least in Canada eh). They are not contacting anyone as they will do it (if and) when you bring your bike in for service, or in my case the fork recall. Just a heads up to all.

Also had the F700 done but the Actual I-level still says Not set. Just wondering if anyone knows why this is.

Have also heard that there is a maximum number of undates you can have done. Is this

"Program Count:   2   Program Count Maximum:   1024"

 it?

As always thanks in advance

WayneC:
Pleased to hear they updated the R1200 for free and that you had the fork issue addressed, there is more to that fork issue than BMW admit

Re the F700, it may be that an update was not needed, that the bike was already at the latest which seems to be K024-16-11-500, check what the iLevel is

Re max updates, yes there is a limit and yes you picked the right field to show how many updates and the limit for that ECU. The limit on updates is a combination of how many writes are possible into EEPROM and how much storage space is allocated in EEPROM to store the update history. BMW has always taken a conservative approach to this.

The limitations on max No of writes to an EEPROM is more relevant to the older EEPROMS these days, modern embedded processor ICs used in ECUs have the storage internal and the storage types dont have the limitations of the old days. BMW will also increase the No of updates possible based on in the field experience as they did with the F650GS single BMSC increasing the updates allowable on that ECU to 64

The update history stored in the ECUs is something the GS911 and BMW Dealer level diags systems dont have commands to display, the BMW back room engineers who support the dealers have other software which is able to look at the update history stored in an ECU

GS Jim:
They said the update for the F700 was so quick that they didn't even charge me for it.
I auto scanned it when I got home and this is what it says:
Factory I-Level: K024-15-03-500
Actual I-Level: Not set

WayneC:
Does not look right to me, seems an update was not applied but I would need to dig around a bit to confirm it, will put it on my todo list for you

GS Jim:
I'm starting to have my doubts also.

thanks Wayne
