If this was a reply to my input:
Not at all what I was thinking of. A few companies sell programmed EPROM chips for direct replacement.
That IS the easiest, cheapest and (almost) only way to do this.
The EPROM chip itself cost in the region of 5- 10$
What cost is to write the program (maps and other stuff)
The programming itself is also very cheap once the code development is done.
I do not think there will ever be a copyright issue.
2 German firms (that I know of) do sell "modified" chips.
It would be very difficult to prove "they" just modified the original maps(s)

YOU know this :-)
Anyways, it is NOT a GS911 issue or topic.
(I pray it might be, in the future, IF you have the time to incorporate a remap function)
God bless you all - the GS911 crew!

A modification to my former posting.
BMW do remap- (never modify- its always a completely new map) via the diagnostic connector.
BUT!!! To do that with the GS911 would cost so much in software development than it not possible.
Development cost is minimal compared to the risk doing so.
IF a (GS911) remap failed a owner would be "stranded" with a dead bike.
My guess is BMW would refuse to even try help...
Guess I
I think it is a matter of misinterpretation, or misunderstanding...
I don't know of anyone who currently flashes the BMSK through the diagnostic port. They all do it by opening the ECU and reprogramming the whole flash with a BDM...
that means the whole flash is written... hence the "Whole flash is replaced"... but that does not mean the whole flash is new...
there will/could/should be a Copyright issue... but i don't want to go into that now...
best,
Stephan
