bmw gs 1200 tft display supplier

BMW is adding a new colour TFT display as an option in place of the usual instrument cluster on R 1200 GS and Adventure models from the autumn. The 6.5-inch unit has a high-definition display and can show a number of different menu functions according to the rider’s preference.

The BMW Motorrad Connected App can be used to plot a route, and this can then be relayed to the rider via arrow navigation on the TFT display. However, this doesn’t provide as much detailed route information that you would find on a stand-alone sat-nav unit, so if you want to plan a longer journey with waypoints, or look for points of interest along a route, you’ll need to stick with a sat nav. But if you’re just trying to make it to a business meeting this new system should get you there without a fuss. The app can also record your routes and show information and statistics from these.

BMW Motorrad hasn’t yet announced what the cost of the new Connectivity option will be ahead of its introduction later this year. We’ll keep you updated on this.

That said with the issues that guys seem to be having, although a software update is supposed to be helping that issue, it does not interest me in the least Just as I could do without keyless start, I can do without the TFT.

A: You really didn"t read the manual did you? Fine. From the home screen on the TFT, hold up on the menu button. You"ll see an icon in the top left corner of the display light up that says "Nav". That means you"re currently controlling the Nav device in the cradle. Press down once on the menu button, and you should see the icon flip back to "TFT".

BMW Motorrad announced several updates for its line-up. The revised R1200GS will receive a full TFT dashboard and a Rallye pack which includes a BMW-Motorsport inspired color theme, rallye seat and an enduro-special short wind-screen. Moreover, besides the Enduro Pro riding mode, the new Adventure will feature a Dynamic Pro Riding mode.

The 6.5 inch full color TFT Display will be accessed through the handlebar controller and can be connected to your smartphone providing navigation. The new Connectivity option will be launched in autumn 2017 on the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. Further models will follow.

BMW Motorrad is now expanding its individualisation range with BMW Motorrad Spezial and is offering distinctive-design, performance and value enhancing as well as exclusive customisation options ex works. For the start the new offer includes special paint finishes for selected models through high-quality milled parts packages to forged wheels. BMW also announced new colors for most of its models.

The Connectivity option combines all the usual dashboard information with the ability to display a huge range of additional information. It also adds new abilities to tie in with the rider’s smartphone.

The system also operates as a turn-by-turn navigation system via the free BMW Motorrad Connected app. The app can also record routes and display ride statistics. It’s not as advanced as the Motorrad Navigator but means there’s no extra kit to carry.
