    Screen and dials not lighting up until handlebars straight?

    I am having a similar issue. When I’m using the heated seat on my TC the icon at the bottom of the screen goes on and off depending on the position of the handlebars. I can grab the big harness on the right hand side by the steering head and make the icon go on and off by manipulating the...

    Bagger / TC Tank Phone Case and Potential for Phone Camera Damage?

    I think that was my issue. I had to remove the case and the phone just barely fit. Maybe the solution is to trim off the ears that hold the bottom of the phone so it has a little room to float around?

    Bagger / TC Tank Phone Case and Potential for Phone Camera Damage?

    I damaged the camera on my IPhone 11 Pro Max shortly after buying my TC. That was in September of 2021. What I think happened is I would let the bike idle while all of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections were pairing. We all know the worst or best vibes depending on your preference are when...

    Is there a BMW shop manual out for our bikes yet? Or, an electronic version?

    This is the closest I’ve found. It was posted somewhere on this forum.

    Media player?

    I have used Audible and Amazon music with the media player. Just have the app open on your phone and hit playback to start. iPhone 11

    Helmet comms: what works, or doesn't, with BMW Motorrad Connected?

    My wife and I are using a pair of Cardo Pactalk bolds. My IPhone paired to the bike, helmets paired to each other, helmets paired to the bike in rider and passenger spots. Helmets NOT paired to the phone. This has been working fine for us. Wonder wheel does not control the helmet volume but a...

    Hello - R18 Transcontinental - Slightly Nervous

    My personal best is 32 degrees left and right as recorded by the connected app. I have kissed the feelers on the floorboards a few times. This is an incredibly fun and engaging motorcycle to ride.

    Hello - R18 Transcontinental - Slightly Nervous

    I’ll throw in my 2 cents worth. I looked at the big Indians and Harleys before buying the TC. I liked everything on the Harley except the shit suspension. I just didn’t care for the fit and finish on the Indian, loved the Challenger engine, didn’t care for the extra long bars that come with the...

    Lost Wireless key fob

    Page 45 of your owners manual shows the location of the EWS ring. You have to remove the seat to get the key close enough.

    R18 B/TC and the TFT

    I bought the Iphone charging cable, it was $64. I've had my R18TC for a month and 1300 miles. So far no issues with the phone and TFT interface other than the slow connection and startup of the system. After the phone pairs to the bike I do have to start map mode in the phone app if I want the...

    Washington R18TC

    I think your headset has to be at least bluetooth 4.0 for the volume control to work. Maybe a firmware update on your headset or a newer model headset? I am using a Schuberth C3 pro with the SRC com system. The only way I can change my volume is to use the buttons on the headset. I plan on...
