Changing my BMW R18 TC from Miles to KM

[Joost R1200CL to R18TC]

All, I have a 2022 R18 TC, US Model. I need to change the display, speed limits, from Miles to KM. (moved to Europe and brought the bike along). Does anybody have a recommendation on how to do this. There is no menu option on the bike, the App won't do it either and MotoScan does not support this function

Any help would be most appreciated! Greetings from Southern Spain

Hey, I am not near my bike at the moment but how about playing with the Vehicle Settings on the TFT? It is one of the last options not the very first My Vehicle option you will have when switching the ignition on. Must admit, mine is on mls and therefore never looked out for other settings, all I changed was automatic alarm when switching off, central locking etc but I would have thought a change in units most be there somewhere. If not have a look at the manual

I fear that there is nowhere in vehicle settings to do this. In my car, no problem. But can’t find it anywhere on the TC

Manual is completely mute on the subject

I don't know about the TC ... on the FE it is in a sub-menu in settings under 'Units'

You are on the money. I just came home and had a play under Settings and it is right there. Step by step below, hope it helps.

Thank you very much! Will check this out and confirm

It is the same on my TC as well.

 

[Joost R1200CL to R18TC]

Thank you for the photos. I see that you have a ‘Speed’ option under the Units menu. (Looking at your speedometer it looks like you have a European version. Mine is US and does not give me that menu option

I do have the motoscan app. It allows me to reset the service after an oil change. But no possibility to change units

 

[Anibal]

That is annoying. I would have thought one could change the units from km/h to mls/h and vs. Will have a play with it tomorrow and report back.

 

[Joost R1200CL to R18TC]

Thanks. Maybe it will turn out to be a dealer thing…. Perhaps a GS-911 ‘has the power’

 

[Anibal]

Mmmm, maybe but I would not have thought one needs to connect the bike to a special dealer laptop to change something so basic like that. It is like changing the clock from 24hrs to am/pm.
Will see in the morning.

On the UK TC the speedo reads up to 200, I assume this
is to allow the change to Kilometres for the EU models.

I think you are on to something .. mine only goes to 130 (mph) that would be a bit slow in km/h

Speaking to my local dealer. Looks like it is something only they are empowered to do.

That figures ...

They reported back: NO

 

[Anibal]

No, it is not a dealer thing or No GS911 does not have the power?
