double check - a GSA likely had them and indeed are there

BMW I guess using budget parts (insufficient memory), can't display more than 4 modes at a time - switch one off and see if others becomes available

the dongle was for the early bikes - forget which year but they gave up with it (2018?)

the other check is to look at your VO using GS911 autoscan report - and or VIN decoder tools

Option S0224   Driving Mode Pro

ezCAN / Re: What are the THREE wires f...

Last post by BradB - February 28, 2026, 12:19:01 AM

OK, so using an electric meter on the ezCan "accessory white circuit" I see that:
-one (black) wire is ground,
-one (white) wire is hot when the ignition is on
-and the third black/white wire is also powered when the ignition is on.

I need the third wire to be powered full time. How can I achieve this through the ezCan?

Help!!!!!!!!!

ezCAN / What are the THREE wires for?

Last post by BradB - February 26, 2026, 10:19:29 PM

In a EzCan II, what do the THREE wires do?
SOLID COLOR ......?
BLACK....GROUND?
COLOR W/BLACK STRIPE....?

I am choosing the circuit to be an accessory circuit.

I assume one of these is ACCESSORY/IGNITION power?
Is the other full time power?

Still struggling along here. Thanks for the help.

ezCAN / Vantrue F1: Can HexEzcan be us...

Last post by BradB - February 25, 2026, 07:07:51 PM

I purchased a Vantrue F1 front and rear camera system for my BMW R1250GS. I already have the EzCan installed and I know it has open circuits to utilize. The Vantrue requires three connections. POWER FULL TIME, POWER WITH SWITCHED IGNITION and GROUND.

Can I program the EzCan to do these three connections?

Thanks in advance!
Brad

You don't need the dongle.

It may well be possible to activate without a coding plug but for a commercial organisation to activate an optional software/firmware feature requiring payment to BMW would leave the Co at risk of legal action for damages which would b rather costly

Hello
This cannot be done with the GS911.

The coding plug must be inserted.

General Discussion / Dynamic pro/Enduro pro set-up ...

Last post by Tittung - February 20, 2026, 02:33:09 PM

Hello all, I have a 2021 1250GS Adventure with 4 riding modes (Dynamic, Rain, Eco, Road), and in the TFT settings, I can see the option to add Dynamic and Enduro Pro, but I don't have the red dongle that allows me to add these 2 extra modes. Can I add them using the GS911, or is software from the BMW dealer needed? Many thanks in advance.

GS-911 Wifi / Re: XDWA not read in C-EVOLUTI...

Last post by botus - February 17, 2026, 01:03:56 PM

So, should I see XDWA on the menu? have you retrofitted xdwa?

whilst I agree help pages / how to info is harder to find than I think it should be - there are some hidden gems about.

I have not tried to fit the later alarm - but in general the way BM go about things doesn't change, is not clever or indeed complex - its just a few little understood bits of fun to jump through - that said things are changing - From late 2025, the bike's are now unmanageable for retrofitting some toys - they have removed access for playtime on the newer stuff - and only direct contact online with base can allow you to get at modules the way you could on the older bikes 

Re XDWA I expect the stumbling block you are having is with the VO list not showing the new option you want to get working - VO = vehicle order - is a list of toys / options on the bike at build - when its all aligned across associated modules, it allows canbus comms to make things work / or behave correctly. 

Very few tools ever allowed you to get at or add modules to the VO - indeed if BMW ever plug it in to programme / update it will wipe the VO back to the one matching their records - and then the real fun starts - as they start programming the wrong software to the wrong module and it crashes out confused - and will remain confused till the toy is removed and the bike put back to std - or their VO records are updated with that option.

Often retrofitting at a dealer involves a long awkward chat at the parts counter ordering the option - you buy the right to have the toy on your bike - effectively paying for the software licencing rights and overnight BM update their VO records - meaning next time its plugged in it lists the bike as needing an i-level software update (integration level).  First thing it does is flash the new VO list at the modules that need it (old bikes it was the ZFE, Kombi and DME), and then each module one by one in a specific order gets flashed with software (updated if there is any, or a new version of what it had).

I have no idea if your bike can have that alarm module - one way is to find a bike that is the spec you want to replicate - and take a photo of the VIN - then go here https://bimmer.work/ (or one like it) and check its VO - it will list on another tab what options it has

just to confuse the

DWA option was 0603   Alarm system
XDWA option says 0603   SA Anti-Theft Alarm System

here it only listed USA region bikes - and seems to have another version of an alarm ?
