get a gs911

 

Very expensive at AUD$550. If there’s an app available for iPhone then I could just get the connector above for $98, plus the cost of an app if any.

 

Buy a cheap used Android tablet ($20?, unless you already have an old Samsung Galaxy'ish one) on Craigslist and buy Motoscan software ($40) MotoScan - smart scanner app for handheld terminals. Then buy the OBDLink LX for $60-70. Still half the cost of GS911 and will reset all maintenance and error codes. Been using for last 4 years and it has never failed me. Has saved me a ton of coin at BMW service because I prefer to do my own scheduled maintenance. Have a pre- 2016 round "dog-down" reader from OBDII reader I'll give you if you need and go this route. I've used this scan tool on my K48/49/69 BMW's.

 

Thanks for the info. The idea of a cheap Android device and the OBDLink LX sounds good. Cheap, simple, easy and will do the job. I don’t understand your last 2 sentences though…?

I agree with the iOs capability. Luckily I has a Samsung Galaxy 3 given to me years ago which I never used. And yes, the OBDLink LX is what I've use on my K49's and K69. When running Motoscan app, make sure you are not running the OBDLink app in the background. They conflict each other out. FlameShooterScooter...you're at bat. Send me an address and I'll figure out shipping.

 

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

 

If you know someone near you who has a GS-911, maybe spot them some $$$ to use theirs. The GS-911 can support up to 10 x vehicle VINs. Saves you having to dick around with getting a Android device + App + OBDLink LX.

The GS-911 is worth it's weight in gold.

 

Hey fellow aussie. I bet it is at $550. My mate has an Android device and the same bike and yesterday said that he will buy the OBD2 connector and get the MotoScan app, so i may be very lucky and not have to buy anything at all, rather just pay him a visit and reset the service reminder using his connector and phone

 

FlameShooterScooter. I just purchased an older GS911 tool to read my K69. So, so sorry, need adapter to go backwards to my bike. If it doesn't work the way I think it will, the adapter is yours and I'll pay shipping as a way to say I'm sorry for offering it to you, then snatching it away like a douche nozzle.

 

I sent y

I sent you a private message bruv.

 

Maybe add a few pints to the visit?

 

Hehe absolutely!

 

OBD LInk LX + MotoScan app for android. $150 for everything. I just used the app to flush the ABS module the other day. 10/10 would recommend.

 

All good. I don't have an Android device, so that's more hassle of having to get another device. Bike had to go in to BMW to get the forks rebuilt anyway, so got them to remove the service reminder at the same time.

 

They have it for Android or ios

 

Not from what the others are saying in this thread. Plus it doesn’t come up in the App Store. Where do you see it available for iOS?

 

I went to the App Store on my iPhone and Motoscan is not available

 

Correct as it’s only available for Android devices.

 

Do you know if I can download Motoscan on my PC and run the OBD Link device from the computer?

 

I wouldn’t think so as your computer isn’t running on the android platform.
