Coding R1200 GS for change from strip sensor to float.

[marknorthwood]

I am about to change my 2008 GS strip fuel level sensor to a float. I am following the guide in: https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/509657-Fuel-strip-to-float-conversion-complete-guide
This describes using the MotoScan software to re-code the bike to know there is a float, so that there is no need to buy a secondary interface module.
I have had the GS911 unit for a while and think it is a great unit, but cannot figure out a way to do the same with it. Is it possible? I have tried searching, but can't find any details here.

I have the same thought on my 2008 K 1200 S, change from strip sensor to float from 2009 K 1300 S as described here: https://www.k-bikes.com/threads/fuel-strip-thought.47211. They also refer to Motoscan for coding. So any news how to do with GS-911?

[Jughead]

You cannot do the required coding with the GS911.

So it would seem. It's a shame that I have to purchase another software only solution, using nothing more than a generic OBD dongle to achieve it though.

November 2020 update info page says "- Add K24 fuel strip to float retrofit function" so fingers-crossed.

I've not updated yet, so cannot confirm.

Neither GS911 nor MotoScan are software only solutions, both are hardware & software, MotoScan have found as expected that generic OBD dongles do not handle the ISO protocols well, particularly the "extended" elements  of the ISO protocols which are important for the component testing & moved to their own hardware interface to overcome the problems

Sounds like this is the update I need. Great news.

I'm looking at doing the same change as the OP. 
Does anyone know if it's possible with the GS911 with this update?

The latest update to the service functions on the web app supports this retrofit coding functionality.
ZFE controller support for coding of the Fuel Sensor Type and Inductive Fuel Sensor activation / deactivation is automatically determined by the service function.

Thnks. This weekend's job.

It works, but only through WiFi.

It works, but only through WiFi.

Thanks for the feedback.
It will be coming to the PC app in the future, but yes, only on web app for now.

We are also working towards consolidating processes which will eliminate this delay of new functions coming to one or the other platform.
Lot's of exciting developments.

I had me stuck for a while.
My shed has ethernet so I had my laptop connected to it, but couldn't get the webpage to light up the strip/float function.
I eventually realised that the GS911 was out of range of our WiFi modem...

We use WiFi range extenders or separate access points in pro workshops to overcome the problem, they are cheap & easy to set up

Just confirming the strip-float reprogramming worked fine for me through the web app. Many thanks.
