Important notes regarding the motoscope pro BMW R9T
Installing and connecting the instrument
- The connector between original instrument and wiring harness is plugged in the back of the original instrument. Disconnect the plug connector. Remove the original instrument.
- Mount the proper bracket (motogadget option) or produce your own bracket and mount it.
- Mount the motoscope pro BMW R9T to your vehicle. Using the plug-in connection, connect the instrument to the wiring harness.
Using the menu push-button
In case, a separate menu push-button is included in the parts delivered – this
push-button will not be used. The BMW R9T instrument is operated by using the
„Info“ button already at the vehicle.
Menu settings
It is not required to perform any parameter settings in the setup menu of the
instrument. However, we recommend to manually take over the total mileage of
the original instrument using the setup (refer to operating instructions).
This process is not automatically performed. Refer to the information below,
too.
CAN bus menu BMW R9T
Please make sure that this option is NEVER deactivated in the setup menu!
Otherwise, the instrument will stop communicating via the vehicle’s CAN bus,
and as a consequence, the „Info“ button will no longer work, too!
In this case, the re-activation of CAN bus is possible using the „touch area“
only (refer to chapter 11 of the instructions). In case, this „touch area“ is
not responding either: as a measure of last resort, CAREFULLY remove the heat-
shrinkable sleeve close to the connector and shortly ‘hit’ the GND contact
with the green cable (simulating a push-button).
Known functions deviating from original
Please note: For safety reasons, the instrument will not transmit any data to
the ECU or vehicle bus, respectively. Therefore, the total mileage WILL NOT be
stored or updated in the ECU.
- Note this information regarding any possible warranty claims against BMW, where relevant (keyword: comprehensive total mileage). Please contact your authorized dealer for any potential effects.
- Also note this when maintenance works are to be performed or during stays in the repair shop with use of diagnostic devices, and please make sure to inform your BMW repair shop in advance.
- In case of necessary maintenance works at the BMW repair shop using a diagnostic device, we strongly recommend to carry the original instrument on you!
- Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the motoscope pro BMW R9T instrument for heated grip control and / or information display.
- Using the original instrument, it is also possible to display the potential remaining driving distance depending on the actual fuel level. It is not possible to display the remaining driving distance with the motoscope pro BMW R9T.
- The use of the optional BMW alarm system is possible. However, the system has to be taught / installed using the original instrument. After that, just re-install the motoscope pro BMW R9T
