GS-911 V1807 (July 2018) software updates available

[jkbeaudin]

& how do I download the upgrade to my GS-911.  All I can find are downloads for the PCs (MS and MAC).  Where is the download firmware on the Hex Code web site?

[M3GS]

Install the PC app or phone app, then connect your GS911 and follow the prompts.

I found some time in between trips to play around with different combinations of time and distance for the service reset.
 For the 2018 R1200 GS TFT it seems the maximum time is 3 years for the current date and the distance is 60,000 km from the current odometer reading, any thing exceeding these will set to these maximums. Interestingly the dash updates immediately without having to cycle the ignition and the app also shows the new settings right away (which I think it already did).
 Some people might wonder why you would want these extremes but I don't think I am alone in finding the service reminder useless and a pain in the butt, a oil life percent would be more useful (which is common in 4 wheel applications).
 Well time to finish cleaning up from a dusty Dualsport trip and prepare for more dirtbiking before leaving in September for a month in S.A. (the home of Hex Code, (hope the service reminder doesn't go off on the rentals )

If you're going to be around the Port Elizabeth area, drop me PM or pop in.  Some awesome riding around here.  Can even take you through Shamwari game reserve.

That's great news!! Hope to see you here in Cape Town? Offer stands: friends/customers always welcome to drop in. If someone on the team is not yet aware of your plans, please feel free to PM me.

Safe travels.

Hi everyone

GS-911 V1807.2 is available for download as well as software updates for the GS-911wifi and GS-911usb Generation 2 interfaces.

The major changes in this release are support for 2016+ bike models: F800GS, F800GSA, F800GT, F800R, F700GS, G310GS and G310R, as well as service reminders for XKOMBIHI TFT instrument clusters and service functions for the XBCO body controller on K001 bike models.

Additionally, this version includes signed and certified Windows 10 compatible USB drivers for generation 1 GS-911usb/blu (yellow) devices.

Read the news item on our website for the full change list and some screenshots.

Note that this is a ongoing project - see the function chart to find out what has been implemented already and what still needs to be done.

Note about resetting service reminders on XKOMBIHI TFT instrument clusters:
The XKOMBIHI cluster controller only supports service intervals in increments of 100 km (63 miles). This is the same restriction that we have seen on XKOMBI53 (R1200 LC) and XKOMBILO (R nineT) instrument clusters. If you enter a custom service distance, the GS-911 software will automatically round the interval to the nearest 100 km increment on your behalf to prevent the controller from returning an error. This means that the actual service distance reported on your bike could be slightly different from the value that you chose, but it will be within a 100 km range from your chosen value.

Thank you.

The S1000R is a K001 model with CAN-Diag which is higher speed & on different pins in the socket than the old models so it requires the GS911 WiFi
