Have you actually tried that? The navigation/map sucked my data volume empty within 2days of normal usage just with map downloads - afterwards you can't even use the navigation any more to get you home (had to open a hotspot with my personal phone). Apart from that the navigation is very basic, you can't set waypoints nor navigate towards them for example. That's not worth the subscription.
I spent close to 1600€ for a KESS3 to have total control over the KTM tpi/tbi ECU and it was well worth to me - just a hint Brongle
But back on topic.
I just got my replacement Arkenstone and the app will not connect to the bike - says "Vehicle not associated with this account". All the usual tricks and tips (deep shutdown, ...) have been done, the Arkenstone can actually see the bike on Bluetooth and even connect with the pin provided by SVAG and of course it is the right account with the bikes VIN properly registered. Nevertheless it seems like the Varg app itself cannot see/access the Bluetooth connection from the bike as it will give the same error msg regardless if the bikes Bluetooth beacon is on or not (deep shutdown). Could it be, that the Varg remembers a Bluetooth connection from SVAG for example and the Varg app on a maiden Arkenstone that hadn't been paired before cannot "break" that link?
@brongle: if that's a feasible scenario is there any data I could provide to help clearing this issue?
