Early in the year this company released a TFT display for the Yamaha (RX-4) with good reviews. This new RX-5 TFT for the GS's was just released at the end of November, anyone have any user info on it?

RX-5 | TFT multifunction meter for BMW® (R1200GS 2013 to 2017) - KOSO North America

If truly PnP, would be an economical option for replacing the OE instrument panel.

I’m super interested!!
My bike was manufactured two months before the the TFT display was introduced. 😢
I’m waiting patiently for reviews on this new item.

Just ordered it. Will update upon receipt and during/after install (with expected profanity edited out).

BTW - currently discounted a little over $100.

Same here, following this thread, my '18 GSA Rallye came with the old analog display.

Don't think so. It is a dot com address. Web site lists the office address as:
673 Rossiter St.
St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC
Canada, J3B 8A4

GoDaddy look up shows the domain is registered by Domains By Proxy, LLC in Phoenix, AZ USA.

Not android supported by the way.

This seems like a mixed bag of functions, some don't work on iOS, work on Android and others the other way around.

 

[Scurvy]

No iOS support is kinda of non-starter for iPhone users.

 

[tic105]

Everything important seems to be iOS supported. The only things not are arrival time and estimated turning distance - who the heck uses this.

 

[virkdoc]

Can someone post a pic of what it looks like?

One early issue would be that as your OEM panel merely displays the mileage as recorded on the bike's computer and that panel is 'paired' with the computer when built any replacement panel would be to be reset (paired) at the dealer in order to display the bike's existing mileage.

I put that question to the owner of a Yamaha who installed KOSO's RX-4 panel and he confirmed that you have the option during the initial set up to enter your bike's mileage so that it will continue to display the correct total since day 1. He now has 14K miles on it without any issues.

Lets see what Ducrider comes up with.
Duc whats the expected date of delivery?

Duc whats the expected date of delivery?

Ordered (and order confirmed by email) on 12/26. No further updates. I’m guessing mid-January, but I’ll let you know.

The key for me will be that it’s truly plug-and-play as I want to be able to go back to stock. I’ve tried other tech that I thought I’d love (e.g. the Wunderlinq) and found I preferred the stock setup (Nav VI). I’m hoping I dig this, but experience tells me to temper my expectations.

Will you be able to check for fault codes with a GS-911?

Yes.

Yes, a GS stores synchronized odometer value at 2 places : instrument cluster and engine control unit. I wonder what will happen when RX5 is installed on the bike.
