DDA+ and GPS

[BZortman]

Still unable to get autolap feature to work. Dash not showing location icon. DDA installed and on, with ICON present on dash. Lap time on and started. Tried mounted front and rear. Dealer insist no activation of GPS module required? If that is incorrect please share a shop or knowledgeable resource I may contact please. This is quite frustrating.

It's definitely necessary to activate the GPS with Ducati diagnose system.
I got this information from Ducati Austria.
Not yet had the possibility to let them do it. Probably within the next two weeks.

Hi, i unfortunately have to reactivate this thread

After activating GPS System by my dealer, i got GPS Signal and lap timer in the dash works.
Well, it works more or less. As others already mentioned, GPS signal seems to be poor (i was in Rijeka - Croatia) and sometimes it did not recognize finish line and kept timing for the next lap. GPS sensor is mounted in the nose.

But my real problem is that the data stored on the DDA stick are crap.
I can see just few channels (speed, rpm, gas, gear, lean angle, distance). But i do not get GPS information, and therefore no map in the Graphic analyzer software. And it does not separate the laps and therefore i can not compare my actions on the track.

On my 899 i also had much more data channels for selection like DTC,...

Anyone having same troubles?

Can someone tell me how to review the lap times after I get off the bike?

If you want the lap timer to not miss laps, on the slowest corner press the high beam button. This will instruct the gps lap timer of the beginning of the lap. If you take the middle of the straight, depending on where you are going to cross the straight, the gps lap timer may miss it.

I have the same problem as you have then I download the dda data on a computer. For some reason the gps channel is missing, which leads the software to believe that my full session is a single lap. Painful.
I hear pressing the high beam button at every lap would solve it but that defeats the purpose of the gps lap timer in the first place!
Hope someone in this forum will find a trick or Ducati will release a fix.

I am having similar issues. Setting the point at a place easy to hit very closely seems to help avoid missed laps. However my DDA is missing GPS info as well.

I hope someone figures it out.

Let me rephrase that.
I have the lap timer working and my GoPro records the front screen showing my lap timer working.
My issue is that I don't know how to go back and review historical laps on the lap timer.
Can someone tell me how that's done?

You should have access to the "lap data" section in the menus.
Go to settings/lap/lap data.

Also remember that it will only store 12 laps so if you do not erase them it won’t continue.

Seriously? Have they messed with the set up that much since the V2 that its so ....? Just over 30% of the memory and wont auto overwrite either??

 

[sebmarc]

Yep. That sucks.

Well, i also expected that the GPS Sensor will be mounted in the nose.
But i got a lot of cables and brackets with the kit and i was confused what to do with this stuff.
Then i checked the V4Speciale spare part charts and found out that it it's mounted in the back.

Possible, there is still the option for mounting behind the nose. There is a plug and a dummy...

Any idea on how to connect in the front? What connector to use?

Hi, got answer from prosa.
They are aware of this problem, seems to be a software issue.
I'll send the stick to them and they'll update it.

regards
Christian

 

[sebmarc]

They cannot send the firmware with instructions to do it ourselves ?
Let us know how it goes!

Since your bike In not a Speciale, you have to have It activated by the dealership ...
You can either put the Sensor In the front or In the back ... If you use a Carbon fiber tail fairing, you better put It In the front or the sensor won't work ...

Hi! What does CF have to do with the GPS signal?

Hi! What does CF have to do with the GPS signal?

Don't know the exact reason why ... It seem like carbon fiber blocks the signal
I had a S1000RR with a carbon fiber tail section ( where the GPS sensor was ) and GPS won't work with that tail fairing... as soon as I put a fiberglass tail section It worked perfectly. Just to make sure that was the problem, I tried the carbon fiber section again and GPS signal was not working .... again.
I'm pretty sure that's the reason why Ducati offers 2 locations for the GPS sensor, In case you use a carbon fiber bodywork ...

Will the existing DDA i have on my 1199S work on the V4 ??

I ran DDA on my V4S for the first time both days in COTA last weekend. Initially, I had trouble with it, while trying to figure out how to work the system. I kept thinking I needed to set reference point every session.. On Sunday though I had no issues with it, and it worked fine.

GPS module is installed in the rear section, this is how Ducati intended it to be. It is absolutely non-issue, as GPS signal is totally fine. You do not have to install it up front, nor stock harness allows it. I run fiberglass race rear fairing, but GPS is located under the stock removable with ignition key plastic piece.

If you set the reference GPS point/location in an easy corner apex that is easy to hit close every lap (you need to set it only one time, and the stored location will be indicated by the checkered stripe under the GPS icon on the dash), it will be counting laps without any issues.

If you set it on the front straight, where you normally overtake people (on the V4, you WILL be overtaking people on the front straight!), it will not click off laps, so don't do it. It is a bit annoying, but not a big deal for me.

I haven't tested any other DDA functions, but as a lap timer, it is not that bad. I really like that it is integrated in the dash.

I wish Ducati would issue an update for the GPS proximity radius for the reference point larger than it is now.
