#GARMIN VIRB EDIT SAVE CUSTOM TEMPLATE BLUETOOTH#
Does it Plug straight in and do you know where the port is on a 2017 GSA? Wen you plug it in I assume its powered by the bike, is it always on or does it turn off when the bike turns off? And finally do the Virbs just find it and connect automatically when their bluetooth scanning/search is activated.


You mention fitting the to the bikes OBD2 Port. I also got a LUJII OBD2 ELM which I want to set up. Still need to get the Garmin Rugged Power cables for the Virbs and wire them up so they are powered by the bike. As per earlier posts I am pretty much copying you set up and now have the Nv VI and the cameras set up and working. Hope you don't mind all the questions and am grateful for your help. I fitted it to the OBD2 port and put it in a waterproof bag (upside down) to protect it from water ingress. It took about 10 attempts as for some reason the Bluetooth Search on the Garmin Virb XE couldn't find it.īut after repeated attempts it did find it, and it now connects everytime without trouble. So I bought this one off .uk last night, which arrived today and I connected it up. This means you can connect it to your BMW R1200GS OBD2 Port and suck lots of really juicy data out of the bikes ECU, AS YOU RIDE ALONG. I currently have it mounted on the top of the headlight with the included Virb Quick-release mount which is a neat solution but might need to look at some other options to isolate the vibs.īut I'd also heard on the grapevine that these Garmin Virb XE and X models can also connect to OBD2 ELM327 Bluetooth devices. Only Issue I have now with the Virb is I'm a getting a bit of shake and vibration from the bike in the video. It is quite tight in the side panel by the battery so I may get an OBD2 extention cable so it can be located under the seat. Disabled WiFi on the VIRB and the OBD2 data was captured as expected. On initial testing I wasn't getting any data in Virb Edit.:confused: I finally figured out that having the WiFi and the Bluetooth enables at the same time caused the issue. it has a little button you press to make it discoverable. It also powers off automatically so no battery drain worries. I received my OBDLink LX today and can confirm it does work with the VIRB XE.:thumb2 I brought this one rather than a cheapy chinese job as it is supposed to be the fastest on the market, they claim 4 times as many samples per second as the closest competitor.
