a collection of personal videos and product reviews. all wholesome and non threatening. I dont know why you would want to watch any of it, but feel free to enjoy my life! :)
Thank you for making this helpful video. I am buying and trailering my first R 1250 RT this Tuesday. Do I need to place the bike into "transport mode" if it even has that feature (to prevent the alarm triggering or lights flashing for a silent alarm) ? The seller of the bike does not know. My Harley Softail has a transport mode feature. Thank you for any insights here.
How do you import to the sat nav without using the app? Can you connect it to your computer and move over that way? I really do not want to use the app
YOu have to unthink the normal process...The PHONE is the SATNAV. The comuputing power of the phone is being used inplace of a traditional navigation system like a garmin or TomTom. think o fthe TFT display. as just that... a display. the phone is the heart of the beast....the routes, the maps, the navigation is all hanlded through the phone app.think of it like when you are wathcing a youtube video on your phone and then cast it to your TV....
@@KimMoonbmwmoonie I get that ie the cell phone. However thats not how I use a SatNav and will use the app. I want to be able to wirelessly move a route or track from my phone to the SatNav or from my computer to SatNav (after being designed on Basecamp or Rever) or to phone to SatNav. I have no interest in my music going via the unit as it is linked to my helmet via my phone. As well, I have a backup mapping, GAIA, on the phone. Now this will be very useful when I rent a bike in the UK as I will be able to bring my gpx tracks or routes on my phone and then transfer it to the rental bike. Finally being completely linked gives more data sharing information to BMW as well as recording speed potentially to law enforcement
@@thecorporategypsy you can turn off the speed recording and turn off the data sync with BMW...and as i have said before, the bikes TFT is not the satnav device, it IS the phone app and the phone... The TFT display is a DISPLAY only. so there is no way to move a file over to the bike wirelessly without the phone because none of this works this way... What you need is a seperate GPS device and carry it with you to use with a ram mount. If aat that point youi are asking me how to export a route you saved on your phone to a 3rd party GPS device then that depends on the GPS device itself. I own a NAV6 and the only way to get a route on it without connecting it to a pc is to import it using a micro SD card. I dont know of any way to WIRELESSLY xfer data off of your phone to a GPS. that wold be a limitationof the GPS itself, inwhihc case, that would depened on themodel and brand of the physical GPS device...I do have a video that shows how to import a route using a micro SD to a Nav 6 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ZtQOQnvLuk.htmlsi=d1H1W253-pGUYj_n. I hope this helps
I now have my wifi auto connect switched to manual only (ie auto connect off) - the bike doesn’t need the wifi connection with an android as it (oddly) connects via BT.
bt is for the headset and audio from the gps...but the maps are transmistted to the bike via wifi due to the amount of data needing to be transferred. I dont know how that would be working with out it.
The BMW Connected app is a piece of junk. I can talk on the phone, sometimes and listen to Media, sometimes. One thing I can’t accomplish is connect and use Navigation. I can’t however, run and use Waze, without the map, but with turn-by-turn directions through my Sena helmet headset, sometimes.
Now you need a few drain holes at the bottom of the case to let the water out lol. To be honest, I don't know why you'd drill holes in your motorcycle luggage.
@@KimMoonbmwmoonie Personally, I'd have kept using the strap and avoided making holes in the cases. It rains all the time over here and the last thing I'd want is wet luggage.
@@louisrauzi3872 So you guys know better than the hundreds of thousands of people who tour with these cases without drilling holes in them? I have the updated cases from Hepco. Guess what? They didn't feel the need to make holes in these either. You are introducing a weak point to the structure and letting water in that will soak your stuff, but whatever, this is RU-vid, so it must be right.
Do you have an app for the headset? If so, when you connect to tft screen you may have conflict between the BMW app and the headset app... just a thought.
Perfect excellent wonderful I connected the piece that was not connected like I said now can you post the video in Reverse please LMFAO once again thank you I'm about to do the plug-in test once I put on the other side but I found a piece that doesn't look like it fits on this side and the other side i.. just finished screwing in
I loaded music into the micro SD card. and I inserted the card into the navigator. But it cannot find the music in the internal card. do you have any information?
@@KimMoonbmwmoonie I formatted the memory card as FAT32. 64gb cards are not formatted as fat32. That's why I used a 32 GB card. A sufficient capacity to listen to music. problem solved. 👍
@@ersin79 That's a great observation. The size of the card was too large so you had to format it as NTFS and that definitely would have caused the problem. Nice catch!
(Paused here: 9:54 to comment) About an hour ago I remembered that I was given a gear 360 by an old boss of mine and I want to use it for the upcoming 2024 April 8th solar eclipse for the environment shot. It’s been in storage for over two years. I plugged it in and nothing. I left it plugged in with the cable I bought for it since the original is far too short for my requirements. It’s been an hour of searching for a solution to fix the issue and while watching this video the charge light has lit. Score! Yet I do feel that an upgraded battery is a good idea so I’ll keep watching to see how far you get. No. My old boss didn’t give me the ring dongle you used to unscrew the lens collars but I am sure I can come up with a tool that will work just as well since I absolutely refuse to damage anything. I enjoy the “brand-new” appearance of anything I own. Like the original Nintendo game console I was given on my seventh birthday (Still looks fresh out the box). I love how you show that the ring dongle has a purpose that all those who destroyed their cameras never thought of. I can only imagine their reaction over seeing how you removed the lens collars, probably priceless)
As someone who today is just about to charge it for the first time, basically only use it when you really intend on using it for specifically and only 360° pictures and or photos or really really wide panoramas otherwise just use your regular phone because this battery is irreplaceable? Gotcha!
I have found that the TPMS sensor in the wheel is the heavy spot, and I always need the weights across from the valve stem. Now I just leave the weights on the rim from the previous tire and then check the balance after mounting the new tire. In most instances I just need to move a 1/4 ounce weight around to fix any balance issue with the new tire. This method saves me the work of removing all the weights just to put them back on in the exact same place opposite the valve stem/TPMS sensor!
@@jeromestocks344 of course.... It even allows the 2nd rider to have thier helmet connected for music. So you can listen to music, chat with your riding buddiies and still here gps announcements. I dont understand why you would think iit wouldndt....
OK so Since there is no battery to buy to replace, you will have to carefully remove the charging circuit board from the original battery, its at the top of the battery . if you carefully peal back the foil you will se that the battery is attached to two leads that are attached to the board. Check polarity with a multimeter first then cut the two metal leads and solder two wires to the pads. I drilled a hole in the side through the aluminum housing and plastic and ran the wires through, i then attached to an 18650. you will have to connect and disconnect the negative lead till the camera recognizes the battery the solder the connection once the unit is turned on , I hope this helps, i finished the project in a day, now i can replace battery without ever opening the housing again. be mindful if you damage the board it will not work. I can even charge the 18650 battery through the original usb C port now. best regards, I hope this helps.
Can you do an hour-long video in which you replicate this process as if I were a kindergartener who knows nothing about soldering polarity multimeters or any of that shit what have all the equipment to do so. I mean I did just buy it so who knows what level the battery is at, but once it starts to go to crap I will reference a video I hope you make because that looks like a completely foreign language to me LOL. Top cheers for knowing how to do it though
I've never used paper so I really don't have any basis to comment.. but I would think it would probably be more restrictive when under pressure than the puck screen. Remember the puck screen goes on top of the grounds, not under them
Really liked your video. one question: you wired the angel eye white hot wire to the aux and the amber hot wire to the turn signal. but wow did you wire the ground (-) from the angel eyes?
actually, i wired the angel eyes white to the fog lamps connections on the Hex and the amber hot to the tunr signal output of the hex. I wired the ground of the angel eyes to the ground of the hex.
