Speed limit displaying oddly

[bimmers]

2021 1250RT 

the speed limit icon on let in the Tft display has started to show erroneous numbers , 32, 88, 72 , 96 and as I am typing these numbers I realize they are our correct speed limits as posted BUT shown as km/h ie metric. How would this have happened as the bike has not been reprogrammed, updated, or anything else it just has changed on its own.

 

so now I have to go and see if there is a conversion option (like on my X5 where I can see both mph and km/h) 

 

So I realize now what it is and while I wait for all of yours valuable answers I will go and check both manual and settings on bike.

It really is not hard to use the search function. Look what it came up with:

If you store your fob close to your bike it is communicating constantly and running fob battery down OR you got a batch of crappy batteries. It happens.

By the way, if you use a iPhone to access the BMW Conneted App, the speed limit will display on the TFT in km/h until the next app update. But the TFT will display your actual speed in miles per hour. I don’t know what state you live in, but nowhere in Florida is a section of road with a 115 mph speed limit, except maybe the Daytona Speedway. 🤣
If you use an Android phone your speed limit will display in mph.

Updated BMW Connected App

 

update claims to fix bug with speed limit display in km/h instead of mph. I guess I will find out on my next ride.

I just received an update to the BMW Connected app that corrects the speed display issue.
