Is there any possibility of seeing key coding functionality with the new GS911?
I would assume that it poses all kinds of security risks, but I have needed it on a number of occasions and have always had to refer clients to BMW.
Yeah, I have looked at this some time ago.. can't remember the exact details, but the long and short of it is that the BMSK comes with 10 keys precoded (as I understand it) - you can then enable or disable them...
I thought of disabling them, so that if you loose a key, you can "remove" it form the ECU, so someone cannot come and simply ride away with your bike.. but, I would need to do some testing here... not sure if for instance the "removed key" would allow you to enable it again... which would make the process above pointless if the "lost" key got in the wrong hands... and hence the security risk of us providing a theft tool to the baddies out there...
however, I can use the same argument to say, well if you didn't implement this function, and the baddie got hold of the key, then you are in the same predicament... so by adding this functionality, exactly how have you INCREASED the security risk...
Anyway, we know to little about the system - comments are welcome...
@Jughead : under what circumstances have you needed this functionality?
best,
