SITUATION
Special vehicles, Police, for example, should be configured/encoded with ISTA.
(e.g. installation of radio transceiver, activation of switch outputs for electrical accessories).
Individualization for special vehicles is multifaceted and very complex.
CORRECTION
The attached guides contain directions for correctly adjusting the encoding in current authority vehicles.
PROCEDURE
(Information only: The encoding of the special vehicle is saved in the vehicle order).
Starting with ISTA version 4.23.1x, some encoding titles were adjusted to make the processes as clear as
possible.

INDIVIDUALISATION AUTHORITY BIKE
GUIDELINE FOR CODING IN ISTA (F750/F850GS AUTHORITY BIKE)
EX-VC-2I May 2020
INTRODUCTION „INDIVIDUALISATION AUTHORITY BIKE“
In this guideline are shown some individualizations for the F750/F850GS authority bike in simplified form
Basically:
➢ All representation are only recommendations and are not mandatory coding
➢ HO-words with similar functions interfere with each other
-> HO-Words are codings that can be imported via ISTA
➢ This manual describes the coding options without the SA877 (radio preparation)
->Circular 6/2016 (German market only) must be observed for vehicles with the SA877
->The HO-Words F1P1,F1P2 und F1DP (for example function key 1) are controlled over LIN-Bus and can only operated with the SA877
➢ This manual describes the coding options without the SA113 (US authority), because all outputs of the GMSF are already pre-assigned
