Hi, Coded up an alarm on my 2019 R1250GSA today awesome update!

Is there a way I can code the remote key to turn the alarm on and off or do I just have to use it with the auto arm and disarm?

Is this the same version of the software that you can't seem to get working so that we can correct the issue that the device caused? How it breaks my ECU and all I have is some foreign cluster now that can't communicate with the engine. Is that the update I should be excited about? Since you marked the ticket as solved and my bike is just sitting there useless, I thought I would come here to point out that you didn't solve anything. But I know that you already knew that

I have a '24 K1600GT, I tried to update the screen to a "Sport Screen", no joy. Should this work with the K1600? A new icon was added to the screen, "Core". Core has a down arrow for selecting. When selected nothing happens.

I’ve had that once before and managed to sort it, it was caused because I had a very weak internet signal at the time and think it corrupted - changed the language to German on the TFT with very limited information

I don't think reply is germane with regard to programming the "Sport" screen. This option was just released this week...

Hi Glenn,

As I pointed out to you on our helpdesk these functions are extensively tested before they go out to the general customer base, and it has been performed SUCCESSFULLY by our customers 110 times just in the last week on controllers like your bike - XKOMBIHI.
Something quite unique is going wrong on your PC when performing the coding and we are doing everything we can with the information at hand to solve it for you. These changes are released on the BETA channel which you are currently part of - the latest version being v2406.91

Kind regards,
Francois

I believe on this generation of alarms the remote is always part of the key, so needs to be coded by a dealer. If using a key without dedicated alarm buttons then yes the auto arm/disarm is the way to go.

Hi

Hoping someone can enlighten me and hopefully others the "BOC Engine Temp Alt" function setting (in short) within the configuration menu - K50?

Apologies if stated elsewhere, have been unable find even a close description anywhere

I do also suffer male blindness

Thanks too the great development work being done

This coding option was believed to be necessary for the temperature dependant tacho on some models, but appears to not be relevant and will be removed with the next update.

Hi all, just received my 911 this morning, updated heated grip and TFT, but, I have tried to enable a 2nd hand pair of BMW spot lights and switch. I went into the option and it asked the brightness, switch or button and something else, but nothing that specifically says activate spots. I know it's a pretty new adition to the 911, and I did update to the latest firmware. Bike is a K50 0J91, R1250GS 2018/19 and lights were from a 2019 GS I was told by seller. Screen software version 023_011_090. I have emailed support but thought worth a try in this forum. Thanks in advance :)

It did exactly the same when I tried on mine. I reverted back to a cloud save and will wait for this to be tested a bit more before I try it again. Changing the startup animations doesn't seem to work on the K16GT either.

Retrofits and Removals are multi controller coding, so they are listed under the Service Reminder / Vehicle Functions menu right at the bottom after selected Detected Vehicle.

Thanks Wilco, from memory I can only see the Set Time and Service Reset options are available in that menu?

I arrived home from work this morning, connected up the spot lights, plugged in the 911, finally, I found the correct menu and activated the spots, happy days  :)

When can users of the GS911 that own a >'22 and later K1600 expect to be able to activate the "sport screen" on our bikes?

The latest software version exposes more of the coding options related to the sport screen, but I suspect some of the firmware might not be loaded onto the K1600 like it is for the GS bikes.

The available themes (almost never all loaded) are Adventure, Urban, Sport, Tour, Heritage.
You can enable the additional display (Core Screen) which can then be set to Urban or Sport, but with functionality depending on the selected theme and loaded firmware.
On each bike it's a case of test what works and what reverts to a default or non functional state.

As always we make online backups of your coding every time you run coding, so if you forgot what you changed or just want to start fresh simply perform a coding recovery with the oldest time stamped backup.

Was playing with the setting of new to me GS911. This tools is amazing!  I really wanted the sport screen to be enabled and surprisingly found that the "SPORT" screen became active on "SPORT" THEME only.
"Adventure" theme leave "Sport" screen disabled. I would like to have the original "adventure" start screen with a "Sport" screen option. don't like the new "sport" theme start screen.
And never got the "Adventure" Screen to work.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Some themes have additional screens that can be enabled, but not all themes support this and not every model will have all themes / screens loaded.
The GS-911 can only unlock what is already loaded onto the vehicle so if any theme does not function it is unfortunately not supported. As for having the additional screen associated with one theme visible within another theme (Sport additional screen on Adventure theme for instance) this is not possible to configure.

That's the answer! It's bike and not the GS911 depended. Thank you for prompt reply!

Any chance of ordering the online backups chronologically? They seem to be a bit random, on mine at least.
