In BMW-speak we’ve all heard the following terms/abbreviations used:
ZFE (Basic, Low, Full, Full-High) = Central Vehicle Electronics Unit
BMS (-KP, etc.) = Engine Control Unit
DWA = Anti-Theft Alarm Unit
ABS = variations for generations of Antilock Brake Units
I have a 2009 R1200RT I plan on keeping a very long time; in looking at ‘critical spares’ (along with things like coil packs, fuel pump controller, etc.) I’d like to find good, known working modules.
That leads me to my question: If I found some of these modules that came off a same-model-year R1200GS - with exactly the same part number AND hardware and software revisions can they be used on the R1200RT?
The thought is even if they need to be ‘married’ to the bike using the (old) ISTA-P diagnostics computer (or MotoScan) this could save me some downtime in troubleshooting or parts-hunting if there was ever a problem.
Anyone ever done this with modules?
