New GS-911

[fotodadi]

What about blocking the new GS-911 so that it can only read from the CAN-bus. Then it can not do any harm - and then let us buy it here and now - and then update it with functions for writing to the CAN-bus when this is safe?  Then we will be able to test our new R1200 and K1600.

that's not how it works...

;D :D

If you let us have it, we would know!!! ;) ;) ;)

Been watching the beta section and haven't seen any damn notes either. ..  Just sayin.   ;)

Do I need to post a pic of some cash to motivate you?  (Will happy pay software maint fee after 1 year. . . .. I'm in the industry and completely get it.  (56% of my company revenue is MFR)

Is there any chance that the new GS911 will be able to enable additional equipment for the K16's? If like to install equipment like the BMW GPS and ground effect lights, all options that need to be enabled on the computer to work.

My local dealer recently billed 4 times longer to install the new Navigator V to a GTL than I'd been quoted at interstate dealers. As always they blame the computer enabling.

Please do not make requests for special features - they can delay the release of a new GS-911.

 :-* I do not think questions or requsts like that will delay the launch of the new  ;)
It is added to the list.... and is a help for the development team.
Its hard for them to know what users want the most, without inputs and questions.

Trust me, I want the new GS911 as much or more than most. Without it, My next closest support is a 5000km round trip. As my local dealer won't allow me to return to his workshop after essentially proving to BMW he was an idiot. Without the new GS911, I'll be forced to sell my K16GT for lack of support. I want this unit, but also want it to do what I need it to do. I'm sure others are thinking the same.

no clear answer... this depends on the type of activation... I hear most (ok, many) are digitally signed with a RSA private key... which makes it pretty much impossible...

BTW, having our K1600GT updated to the Green-N-update today... will start a new thread once I have it back....  ;)

Hey Stephan, great info here.

I am not currently a GS-911 owner but I am very interested in obtaining one.  Looking at the demo video of the wifi version, that is what I decided to hold out for...I think.

Looking at this page: http://www.hexcode.co.za/gs-911wifi-setup I suspect you are getting extremely close to release, no pressure okay?

Will this device allow ALL functionality with any device connected to the gs-911 via wifi?  More specifically will I be able to accomplish all functions from my Iphone or Ipad and not just read codes?

Thanks in advance.

Sneaky of you to spot that...  :D ...yes we are testing...

Will this device allow ALL functionality with any device connected to the gs-911 via wifi?  More specifically will I be able to accomplish all functions from my Iphone or Ipad and not just read codes?

that is ALL relative...
for the initial release the GS-911wifi as it is officially called, will connect with the Windows PC app and have ALL the functionality, over USB or wifi.
in addition to that it will have basic functionality for the K48 (K1600) and K50 (R1200GS LC) over wifi (i.e. any device that has a browser, including iOS devices)

following that we will implement

• more functionality for K48 and K50
• Emergency functionality for all the other models (that is reading ECUinfo, Reading/Clearing Fault Codes, Viewing Live (realtime) Engine data) - exactly like the current Android app

Following that we will catch up with the service functionality of the older bikes (everything that is NOT K48 and K50)... BUT this is a LOT of work... and will take a while...

[Haakon]

Just to make sure:
Will the "GS-911 wifi" also have a USB and /or LAN connection?
There will be the same functuality for a wired connection as the WiFi?
(Stupid question as the WEB interface is the same :-)

I do understand that the old bikes will not have full "functionality" at first.
(The majority of customers will want to use it on "new" bikes, so thethe old bikes is not first priority)
With "old" I think of pre CanBus. The old GS911 is as developed as possible I guess.
I hope it will be for sale as a small brother of new GS-911 WiFi?

Maybe this will start a new line of discussions, but I have to ask:
I pray the WiFi edition will have more or less the same user limitations as the old? (enthusiast/ professional)

The important question is "how much do I need to beg to get on the Beta test?" I've listed my K1600 on a national motorcycle website to sell it. I'm at a point with my local dealer where it either sells first and I buy V twin. Or the new GS911 becomes available and I keep my GT.

I am willing and able to beta test. I have a 2010 K1300S, an iphone 5, an iPad 4 and a GS-911.

[fotodadi]

Yeah!!!

I see your DP.

Question is when can I get it for me??? :( ;)
