GS-911 Wifi / Re: (Better?) Instructions for...

Last post by WayneC - May 23, 2026, 12:15:45 PM

JR

The Hex forum was down or not accessible from Oz earlier, just got the new post email

I looked at the iPhone a long time ago to write a simple instruction & the GS911 side was straight forward to me but trying to understand the iPhone HotSpot setup to be the same IP No each time you activated it confused me

I think the trick if you could call it that is to do the iPhone HotSpot then that gives a target for directing the GS911 to it with the App & saving the config so you can then use the button on top to select the iPhone HotSpot

At one point I had 4 network settings in the GS911 for 3 workshops I was going to plus my home WiFi net, the GS911 just considers the iPhone HotSpot as a network

[but:]

Hey Wayne!!!

Thanks for jumping in ... :-)

I didn't do a stellar job of describing my issue....
I have a red-wifi-version GS-911 and I installed recently released the iPhone app (iphone 17 pro)
and was trying to set that up...

The sequence of steps of attaching to the wifi network offered by the 911
turning on the iPhone's hotspot for internet access and etc....
was a little confusing to me ...

but:
I was in a hurry
it was my first time trying it
the prompts didn't quite make sense
and...... I wasn't taking notes

other than that I should have been a total success ... right?    ::)

Afraid it has been years since I looked at D2D let alone with an iPhone Jim, has the GS911 ever been configured ?

I would go the other way of having the iPhone connect to the GS911 using the App

When doing diagnosis you should use a battery charger/power supply to maintain voltage, it is not a good idea not to do so & failure to do it will cause you problems further down the track, if the battery is dropping voltage then time to replace it

Buenas a todos el problema que tengo es que la bateria se me va abajo antes de oder scanear la moto y poder hacer cambio se puede realizar la moficicación de la revisión de la moto pero con la moto arrancada para que la bateria no me baje

Yup, still sitting with a F650GS Dakar cluster that is intermittent.  LOTS of corrosion on the board and have had to bridge out multiple tracks just to get it semi functional.

@miguelmpn  You can take your bike in to your friendly BMW dealer and have them code the new cluster with the correct mileage.  Note that they can only "upwrite" (apparently a BMW expression) and cannot "downwrite".  I.e. they can only add mileage to the new cluster, not lower it.

So, if your original cluster showed 40000km, and the new one shows 35000km, they can add the 5000km to the mileage display and match the DME.

If your new cluster shows 50000km, they cannot lower the mileage to 40000km.

This can also not be done with the GS911.

Good to see your commonsense post Jughead, the volume of the K7 dashes requiring repair due age has increased, did 3 repairs last week & another on its way, was not aware full recoding was possible on the dash assemblies

Alright, it seems we are deviating from my original statement, which was about an F700GS.

The cluster isn't original to the motorcycle. The original was damaged in the accident. I went in an ambulance, and obviously, no one picked up the pieces on the ground.
Later, I was advised to send the motorcycle to the dealer and pay much more than the bike was worth, so I repaired it myself and did a good job, except for the discrepancy error in the cluster that makes the Kms blink.

To replace the missing cluster, I decided to buy a second one from a motorcycle of the same year. This means that the VIN is different, and it has less Kms than the ECU. My plan was to add kms in the cluster until it reaches the ECU mileage. It works well in analogue clusters, but that does not seem possible here, that is what I wanted to know.

No my last post was to directly address your situation & others who fit another dash from a different VIN

You did not originally mention you had recovered your original dash & had it working again other than the flashig ODO

The dash backs up the ODO value usually held in BMSKP (on the F800/R1200's), the BMW Dealer ISTA/AOS system has a routine to resynch the master & backup ODO values, it is a simple routine done quickly

I deal with that every time I do a K7 dash repair, when I put a dash for repair on my test bench system which of corse has a non matching BMSKP I have flashing of ODO,, I do the dash repair, test & confirm all OK then clear fault codes, the dash goes back to the owner & since both ECU's have the same ODO valuw no action is needed, if the owner had done any riding without the dash then they have to go to a Dealer to resync the values

One owner with a different model has 2 Engine ECU's & if he swaps between them & does riding on the otherr Engine ECU he then has to have a mate at a Dealer resync the unused ECU with the higher value in the dash

In your case the VIN & Vehicle Order may also come into play, I asked you to get the Info from Autoscan to look at the VO engine ECU info so I could look into it but you did not post the info
