M GPS data logger issue!

[Stevie_83]

Hello,

Been a while since I've been on here as I went to triumph then realised I preferred the BM so I bounced right back !

Anyhoo I'm having a spot of trouble with the 2D M GPS data logger. Cant seem to make it work - no data logging or dashboard timing.
Iv had the bike programmed at BMW dealer and I now have the option to select manual or external trigger in dash settings (external selected).
The module is all fitted correctly via the obd and power line, The usb Stick has been initialised and the 2D system has had the licence activated too.
Both tracks I tried its been non functional (the timer wont even start) and both tracks are embedded on the 2d data logger so I assumed it should just start when I pass the trigger point.
I can read gps coordinates if I plug the bike into the laptop and the gps receiver blinks an even red light.

I feel like I've missed something glaringly obvious here!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

are you the guy that was at Angelsey when torr rang me?

Nope, not me, not had the chance to visit that track as yet

On a side note, the USB stick needing initialised is a myth, when I fitted mine to the bike I left the USB stick in place and when I finally got round to setting it up it had recorded every single ride I had been on, and because of that I missed out on 2 track days full of data because the memory was full.

Im guessing you’re getting the plug sign on the dash when you are in ride mode pro?

Yeah I think so,
Is it the symbol in between the DTC and RACE PRO at the top. Little square with two legs poking out the left.

I've been having a look in the owner manual and if its the plug symbol I think you mean then its just to show you are in pro mode, I have been able to check my vehicle order / option list and I do have 018F M GPS-laptrigger. Maybe the emergency e call needs deactivating as it say to do for racing ? I'm not too sure

[Wull]

You might be right but I’m fairly certain I never had that symbol until after the activation code was uploaded by BMW, before that when in ride mode pro the symbol wasn’t there.

Sounds like everything is in place. Which track did you go to when it didn't work? As it won't do anything on the road.

The more I think about it the more I come to realise that I can’t even remember whether it was there before the activation code was done, so it probably was there and I just never took any notice.

Iv tried it at croft & Jerez. I have a few more UK tracks booked in the next few months so I can test there but I'm going to see if I can make a track around my estate with the gps coordinates so I can test it quickly as apposed to waiting for a track day.

Think I'll try resetting the 2d logger to factory settings, hopefully that will do the trick
