Maintenance DVD is in, FINALLY !

Hi all:

I got a nice visit from FedEx today who handed me an envelope containing the 5th Edition of the "BMW Motorrad RepROM R Models K2x"

Official Part Number is:

01 79 7 707 276

Nice layout for the R12R information as well as all the other models, plus it has a Metric conversion utility for converting Imperial to Metric and vice versa.

Interesting thing is that it has instructions for a stereo radio setup ! Looks like something else is about to be announced for the R12, though it would be hard to justify replacing my XM in the GPS unit !

Doug

One day, I hope, BMW will sell one which is also readable on the Mac.

From Sierra BMW in Nevada: $135.00 (not including shipping). Expensive, but includes info on a lot of different models, beside the R1200R: R1200GS and GSA, HP2, R1200RT, R900RT, R1200ST, R1200S.

Does it have anything about a connector for the BMW alarm? I'm hoping there is a connector for it so I can use it to wire in a Scorpio SR-i500 and not have to tap into other wires. My DVD won't be in for another week or so!

It works on a G5 Mac using Virtual PC 7 and Windows XP. It does not work under Windows 98. Slow, but usable.

It does not, however, appear to include any wiring diagrams. I expected them to be in there for the $135.

Am I missing something? Are they there but well hidden? Or does BMW figure that mere mortals can't understand the CANbus and are not worthy of the information?

I am going to get the BMW Alarm installation instructions. It only costs $2.15 and I'm hoping it will show the location of the connector.

NeilS .......your spot on !!!
CD rom sucks !!! (NO wiring diagrams to be found)
They have some nerve selling it for $135
BMW should come look at my $60 .... 632 page Honda ST1300 Service Manual
(could learn a thing or 2)

Does anyone know where to get the wiring diagram? It would sure come in handy.
