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
