Auto-identify motorcycle
I noticed that a few people saying that there is a bug on the incoming dashboard, because it set a predefined max RPM that might not match the actual motorbike.
An idea I had is to use the VIN number to identify the vehicle, and set the UI/parameters accordingly.
Not sure how many active customers do you have (of if there is any legal implication of sending the VIN somewhere), but https://vindecoder.p.rapidapi.com/decode_vin has a cap at 100req/month. Once the response is read we could store it in a local set and never have to request it to the service again (as long as the VIN keeps matching the cached value).
Let me know your thoughts! :)
@mcomisso I actually considered this early on at the time I couldn't find any free APIs. I've also noticed that these BMW VIN lookups are unavailable quite often.
I actually have an idea that can be implemented in firmware. It would remove the requirement to set the bike mode.
