RE: BMW R1200GS LC MODEL 2015 : BAR TO PSI CHANGE.
Menoche:
Hi Guys,
it's been almost two months now without any updates on the cluster config for the K50/K51....
What gives? I've had my wifi GS-911 for over 12 months right now and it is useless until I have these features...
At least tell us what the hold up is!!

We plan to start beta testing for coding functions next week. If you are willing to give us feedback on the user experience and have a knack for finding bugs, you can sign up to our beta testing group by sending a request to our helpdesk (https://www.hexcode.co.za/contact-us-1). Be sure to include your GS-911 serial number and bike model. This initial beta run will only work on GS-911wifi, not yet the new GS-911usb Generation 2.
The main reason why we haven't been able to implement this for so many years, is because it was exceptionally difficult to get any information on how the coding protocols work on the newer generation bikes. We are a very small company with limited development resources, and this is not the only project or feature that requires our development efforts. Over the past year we've had to spend a large amount of resources on implementing support for the latest EU-4 compliant bike models released by BMW, and we still have a lot of catching up left to do. This is also why we haven't been able to start the beta trials for coding until now. Note that there is still significant work left to do before we can release these functions officially.
We want to get these functions into your hands as soon as possible, and we really appreciate how patient you all have been so far.

We will possibly need to send out a beta software version in order to help us test on the various bikes however we will communicate this beforehand.

So I just want to make sure I'm understanding your answer... do you mean you've done the majority of the development and don't plan to release it anytime soon for anything other than K001 chassis models ? Or is it still coming for the K51 models?
Perhaps it's just the comment amount "not the answer we wanted", but I read this like it's not coming anytime soon for anything other than K001models, and that would be disappointing.

It seems there is a slight confustion about the bike models related to this feature request. To be clear, when we refer to K001 chassis models, that includes K50 and K51, among many others. This is in contrast to the older generation K024 bike models for which we already have coding functions available. For a complete list of known K001 chassis models, have a look here: http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911wifi/gs-911wifi_info#coverage

François,
It's been almost 3 months without any development on this... when is the features coming out?
Are you guys still working on this?
Must admit that having paid such a price for a device which only allows me to read codes and update TPMS sensors feels like a scam to me.
I've had this unit for 20 months now...
Please, we need an update or an ETA on the functionality coming out!

Hi Phil. We are stil working on this, yes. We had to stop initial beta testing due to complications with the update, so for the time being we are continuing with internal testing. Coding on the newer models is a sensitive function that can potentially render your bike in an unusable state. I am sure you'll appreciate all the extra effort we have been spending to ensure that our software won't break your bike when this feature is released.
I'm not sure why you would think that we would spend all these years of development effort to build such an elaborate software tool just to scam you. You must be aware that reading fault codes and learning TPMS sensors are not the only useful functions that the tool makes available to you. We encourage you to explore those other functions. Though, we would be interested to hear how much your BMW dealer would have charged you to assign those sensors to your bike, or to perform any of the other functions that you have already used.
We are a small development team, and we have very limited resources available to stay up to date with all the bike models and features that BMW has been rolling out.
We have always been very clear about the status of coding functions availability and only recently moved it to the short term goals on our roadmap: https://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911/roadmap. You can be certain that we want the coding functions to be available just as much as you do, and we are doing as much as we are able to achieve that goal as soon as possible.
