Programming heated grips?

[zugvogel]

On my 2014 R NineT I will be adding heated grips soon and will have to tell the ECU that they are present - is this procedure supported in GS-911 or do I have to go the dealer to have it programmed?

Hola, I am also adding heated grips, but I need to know if the ECU just finds the hardware automatically or I do really need to reprogram. I just got my GS911, and as you guys I am not sure this can be done yet by the GS911. Do I have to visit a BMW dealer to reprogram?


Thanks.

Hey folks,
as I wright in http://forum.hexcode.co.za/forum/index.php/topic,782.msg3136.html#new
I never did any retrofits like this, but I would connect the switch, grips and the wiring to the ZFE.
Then look for any mistakes in the modules by using GS911.

And then, we will have a look

Great! I will then order the parts and let you guys know. If someone goes ahead even better....


I have the same impression you mentioned in your post. I should just work at once. To me, it does no me a any sense the reprogramming. In my other bike, a XT1200Z, it's the same deal, we connect any tipe of heated grips to the OEM plugs and viola, works just fine.

Very old thread, but how did it go, or has anyone else attempted this?

Without fitting the switch and grips I've found an issue on cluster coding - "heated grips enable/disable" but when going in ZFE tests it says heated grips are unsupported, or something like that.
