The bike: 2018 R1200 GS with TFT screen I read the manual and followed the instructions to reset the trip computer screen on the TFT; however, everything reset except the trip meter. Is there a trick to getting that to reset?  

We may have a terminology issue but the "odometer" is the record of all the miles on the bike and can not be changed at the user level. The trip meter A and B can be reset as you see fit. Let us know

Thanks Lee. That was helpful. I learned a few things watching that video.  

'21 R1250 GS Adv

Not noted in Lee's linked video is the ability to set Trip #2 to automatically reset whenever the fuel tank is filled. Just check the "Automatic Reset" box and push the wonder wheel left.

I have not filled the bike enough times to know what method I'll use on a trip. I liked the R1200 setup on trips. Trip one was reset at gas stops. Auto reset itself each night so I could see how far we went in a day. Trip 2 I let go for the trip so I could see my trip mileage and gas mileage for the trip. With one bump of the wonder wheel I could see all those values on one screen of the Nav V.

Lee said: I usually get 1 or 2 mpg better than Debbie. She also wears her back tire a little faster. She has a self control problem with her right wrist I check the gas mileage as a early warning to any engine tune problems. I was going to reply to the Toll Road thread. Debbie likes leaving a toll both because she considers it legal drag racing Click to expand...

Does anyone know to reset the trip computer on the new m135i. On my m140i you could reset trip computer and mileage but can't seem to be able to on the new m135i or maybe you can't  

Is it not a button by the clocks (bottom LHS), like the 140?  

a380df said: They dont have a button anymore with the new digital display. Try holding down the BC Information button on the indicator stalk (top one) for a few seconds when on the display page you want to reset. If not I think you have to go to the car information page on iDrive where it shows you the service details and bits. Click to expand...

How To Reset Trip Mileage BMW?

Additionally, for about three seconds, hold down the “BC” button on the turn signal stalk (while the trip odo is showing). It’ll restart.

In This Article...

On a BMW 3 Series, reset the daily mileage counter to 0

. Let’s move on to the crucial stage, which is how to reset your BMW 3 Series’ daily odometer. Even though this stage is frequently simple to carry out, some of you, such as new owners of the BMW 3 Series, might not be familiar with the procedure.

We’ll now examine the various methods for resetting the trip odometer on a BMW 3 Series to zero:

• Hold down the right button on your dashboard for a few seconds until the trip odometer reads zero.
• If this button is inoperable, you can reset the odometer on your BMW 3 Series by pressing the button at the end of the right-hand counter-commodo for a few seconds.
• Finally, on some of the more recent models, you might have to proceed through your dashboard and display to reset your vehicle to zero by going through the settings.

On a BMW 330i, how do you reset the trip odometer?

Push the button at the end of the turn signal stalk to raise the odometer, then hold the button down. My own is programmed to restart each time I refuel.

On a BMW 1 Series, how do you reset the trip odometer?

Just below the speedometer on the dashboard, there is a small knob. The trip odometer will reset if you press it.

On a BMW R1250GS, how do you reset the trip odometer?

Use the rocker switch to enter the bike menu and then tab down. Then choose what you wish to reset by selecting Re set individual values. To access the reset option for the appropriate trip, drop down to “my bike,” then tab to trip computers 1 or 2, and then drop down once more.

On a BMW TFT, how do you reset the trip meter?

I just purchased an R1200GS TE. Finding out that I reset the journey distance meter to 0 is proving to be difficult.

Neither the handbook nor the internet have anything that I can find. I don’t want to rely on the estimated mileage provided by the computer.

When I fill up, I would want to start the trip over. Has anyone discovered a method to zero the trip?

Hi, The Manuel must have been changed. Now, it’s talking about the cruise control. In mine, it’s on page 90, section 4. Trip reset isn’t actually covered, however I’ll post instructions later for others.

To the on-board computer, please. To trigger the computer. To choose Autom reset or reset all, scroll down. This restarts both journeys.

On my previous GS, I used to press a button a several times. I suppose this is advancement.

Visit “MY VEHICLE.” Using the wheel, navigate to “ONBOARD COMPUTER.” TRIP 1 and all other values, including them all, can be set here.

Visit “MY VEHICLE.”

Scroll with the wheel to “TRIP COMPUTER.” Sadly, there is no way to set each value separately. Everything is at stake.

Is it possible to reset a car’s mileage?

Can a vehicle’s miles be reset? No. In reality, tampering with an automobile’s odometer is prohibited, especially if the goal is to mislead prospective buyers or sellers about the vehicle’s actual state. One of the key elements considered when evaluating a vehicle and establishing its sale value is its mileage.

My trip odometer needs to be reset.

By pushing and holding the RESET button on the left-hand steering wheel lever, you can reset all the data in the trip odometer TM, including the distance, average fuel consumption, average speed, and driving time. Only the distance driven is reset when the RESET button is tapped.

• With the engine off, turn the key to the ON position.
• For TEN seconds, press and HOLD the ODOMETER button. It can be found at the Instrument Cluster’s extreme bottom LEFT corner.
• The dash screen will display FGSTNR along with a number. Your chassis number is this (See image example).
• The LAST FOUR numerals are added. Ex: 3+4+5+6= 18 (taken from the image above). Your UNLOCK CODE is going to be 18.
• Press and hold the ODOMETER button one more until the FGSTNR clearing area appears (you will still see numbers in the top section).
• Press the odometer button until the upper Menu area (entering code menu) reaches 19 after the bottom area has cleared; When you do, the text will appear at the bottom: Press the odometer button to enter your unlock code after turning the lock on (from the example above) This is seen in the bottom portion.
• The screen will appear as in the image above after a little period, at which point the menu will once again appear at the top. To access the number 21 menu, press the odometer button (also theentering code menu).
• On the screen’s bottom, it will say: RESET? To complete the reset, press the odometer button.

Your BMW’s computer has been restarted! The existing settings must now be added again, or new ones must be added.

**NOTE: Slowly repeat the procedures if you are unable to reset the BMW computer on your first attempt. If you’re still having trouble, ask the dealership for help or refer to your car’s owner’s manual.

Can BMW detect mileage correction?

No is the simplest response to this query. The vehicle’s actual odometer reading cannot be accessed by the auto scanner tool. It only calculated the mileage using the separation between the beginning and ending points of the route you walk.

Although we haven’t looked at every gadget on the market, there may be some that can spot mileage rollback. There are API tools that can identify such fraud with accuracy. However, you cannot find anything that a tool has never recorded. No instrument will ever be able to determine the altered distance because the mileage stopper tools completely alter this information.

Be advised that this tool is not intended for illegal activities. To evaluate your car’s performance, go solo. You should exercise caution when purchasing a car because many people use this tool to sell their vehicles with good mileage. When turned on, the module automatically changes the distance traveled.

How long does the BMW take to reset?

My automobile won’t turn over. After some web study, it appears that the ECU is most likely the problem. How can the factory settings be restored on a BMW computer?

In less than two minutes, find out if your auto insurance is being overcharged.

Amazing investigative abilities! Unplugging the negative battery cable for 10 to 15 minutes will reset a BMW ECU. For most BMW models, this ought to be sufficient to reset the ECU.

You can also try jumpstarting your car to reset it if this doesn’t work. If a low battery is the problem, this will also be helpful!

However, if you still have trouble starting your car after jumping the battery, you should speak with a mechanic to find out more about what’s going on.

Save money on your car insurance with the Jerryaan insurance comparison app, which searches for inexpensive prices with more than 50 different insurance companies for free. This will help offset the cost of expert repairs.

You may make adjustments at any time, receive prices instantly, and text an agent with any queries you may have. Each year, $887 is saved by the typical Jerry user.

Can a distance be restarted?

Yes, you can reset your odometer if that is what you’re wondering. However, it’s against the law in the US to reset your car’s mileage. This practice is prohibited by Federal law and should not be used by anyone unless you intend to break the law.

According to 49 U.S. CodeSS 32703, section two, it is strictly forbidden to disconnect, reset, or otherwise manipulate an odometer with the intention of changing the reported mileage. But if an odometer’s mechanism is broken in some specific circumstances, it may be essential to reset it.

A vehicle’s odometer may be repaired or replaced in accordance with 49 U.S. Code SS 32704 as long as the mileage it recorded prior to the repair or replacement stays the same. Resetting is only an option if the issue cannot be fixed by repair. The odometer would need to be reset to zero, and there would be a sticker on the left door notifying you that you needed to do so.

Therefore, avoid resetting your odometer as much as you can unless there are unique conditions because it is prohibited. Resetting your car’s mileage when you’re trying to sell it can go very wrong with the individual you’re doing business with. You can be held liable for forging documents and interfering with the car’s legal papers by lying.

Falsifying the odometer reading for a sales transaction also reflects a misrepresentation of the actual mileage of the car. Therefore, if the car’s present condition is not accurately disclosed, it is unlawful and might endanger the new owner’s safety.

Rather than resetting your odometer after replacing your engine, consider reading about what to do next. Here, we’ll provide you with appropriate, safe, and, above all, legal guidance regarding what you should do next after replacing your old engine.

Describe the BMW trip computer.

The average mileage, average speed, and distance driven during the specified time period are shown on the trip computer display of a 2004 Acura TL.

A trip computer is a computer that is installed in some cars. The majority of modern trip computers calculate, record, and display the distance traveled, average speed, average fuel consumption, and fuel consumption in real-time.

The first mechanical trip computers, such the Halda Speedpilot made by a Swedish taximeter maker, were created as automobile equipment in the 1950s to help drivers keep to a set timetable, which was especially helpful in rallying. The 1958 Saab GT750 came equipped with one as standard. A complicated mechanical gadget that displayed the average speed and was standard equipment on the 1952 Fiat 1900 was known as the “mediometro” in Italian. General Motors’ Cadillac division debuted the “Cadillac Trip Computer” in 1978, which was offered on the Cadillac Seville. Chrysler debuted an electric trip computer the same year on its entry-level Omni/Horizon. They can be simple or sophisticated. The most basic trip computers include an outdoor temperature indicator and average fuel mileage. Information about gasoline, speed, distance, cardinal direction (compass), and elapsed time is frequently provided in mid-range versions. The most sophisticated trip computers are only found in high-end automobiles and frequently show average calculations for two drivers, a stopwatch, tire-pressure data, over-speed warnings, and many other functions.

The trip computer’s display may occasionally be found in the gauge cluster, dashboard, navigation system, or overhead console. Scheduled maintenance is mentioned on certain displays. The current Acura TL performs this in phases, initially warning the driver with a “Due Soon” sign, then changing to “Due Now” once the predetermined mileage is achieved, and finally changing to “Past Due” once more time or distance has passed. Mercedes-Benz automobiles continuously check the oil quality and warn the driver if it has deteriorated significantly. Depending on the number and duration of journeys, engine temperature, and other variables, GM and FCA vehicles send out oil change reminders. While “setting preferences” is now typically done through a center screen that is also used for the backup camera and radio in most cars, some vehicles now use the trip computer to let owners adjust specific parts of vehicle behavior, such as how the power locks work.

Some trip computers can show the mechanics’ diagnostic codes. When the mechanic needs to view the codes while operating the vehicle, this is extremely helpful. The ScanGauge, created by Linear Logic in 2004, was the only accessory that could be quickly installed (through OBDII) and functioned as a trip computer, four digital gauges at once, and a reader of trouble codes. The 12 measurements that are accessible on this gadget can be used as the 4 digital gauges. You can individually choose between miles/km, gallons/liters, Celsius/Fahrenheit, and PSI/kPa as the units of measurement.

The OBDII interface and the Arduino hobbyist microcontroller platform were used to create a low-cost DIY trip computer that was distributed under the GPL open source license in 2008.

1999 Z3 Trip Computer

• Add to quote

In waiting for my new manual to arrive for the car and tweaking the little things as I go, just got a quick question about the trip computer. Hope this isn't prematurely asked without the manual being here, but what is the cause of "PPP" showing on the trip computer? The only electical part I knew that was not right that would affect the computers calculations was with the mas air flow sensor, and it has been replaced. Like I said, hope this question was not premature. Thanx in advance for the info.  

I can't believe I've had my speedbuggy almost 6yrs now....LOVING IT! Anyway, throwing this post out there again as I've been ignoring the PPP readout on the OBC. Question, if you remove the original radio with an aftermarket (Pioneer, etc.), can you correct the OBC display or do I have to continue to live with it? I've seen other posts from 2016 about resetting the OBC. As I'm currently traveling, I was gonig to attempt a reset when I returned home. Any update or wisdom on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.  

http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=910294  

Do you still have the outside air temp sensor connected?  

NZ00Z3, I will have to check. I'm not sure what has been "disconnected" prior to me getting the car. When I got the car, I had to put a new MAF unit in as someone modified the one on the car and was running it without it plugged in. I will be back in town Saturday and will check. Thanx.  

Check out this thread, it may help. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2367732-OBC-PPP-error-coding
