Where's that little guy waving his hand in the air smiley. ;)
I'm really looking forward to reading any codes that my K50 may have thrown during one or two anomalous operations.

1: Do you plan on selling the "old" GS911 some years after the new is for sale?
(not everyone will need the added functions and web based interface- not all will want to pay the higher price?)

It will definitely be available for a while... remember the new GS-911wifi starts filling the gaps on the new generation of bikes (K48, K50, K51, K52, K53 etc)... while the current GS-911blu and GS-911usb have great functionality for the existing model ranges...

(the "old" for at least some years into the future)

We've been releasing updates on a 3monthly basis since 2007... as functionality is added, so releases are made... on the free or not, there is just been an interesting thread opened on the forum that you might want to look at:

That will open up the market for counterfeit units :-(
Is it possible to make a register where a possible buyer can check if the unit they want to buy is a original one?
I do see lots of problems with that, legal, personal protection and so on.

an interesting thought... however, just make sure the user is using the latest beta version and then have a look at the registration data - if the interface is NOT registered to that specific person (and his email address), then DON'T buy it...
--- Quote from: Haakon on October 04, 2013, 09:26:28 PM ---Ok, I admit it was a silly question and suggestion ;)
Guess the only safe solution for buyers are to buy locally- so the seller can prove the updates work and the GS911 is a proper one.

correct - for now, just ask the owner where he purchased it - also there is a link to the local distributor in the help->About - they can always look up in their records, or they can just contact us... but, if you do buy a cloned GS-911, insist on your money back... and if they don't, go to the police and make a case against them... (we will gladly assist with our expert knowledge :) )

There should be a post in the Beta section shortly 8)

What about blocking the new GS-911 so that it can only read from the CAN-bus. Then it can not do any harm - and then let us buy it here and now - and then update it with functions for writing to the CAN-bus when this is safe? Then we will be able to test our new R1200 and K1600.
