10 vin. limit

(1/2) > >>

TRJeff:
I am not sure if I understand the 10 vin. limit with the enthusiast version. When using a PC I am limited to 10 vin#, but if I use my I Phone I am not restricted because of "emergency use" Is this correct or am I limited to 10 on the I Phone and 10 on PC?

Haakon:
I am sure others will answer your question, better than me.
This is described on the Hexcode site, in detail.
Short, "service" operations are limited to 10 VIN`s.
To read faults, reset faults, do logs and so on does NOT need a VIN input.
Few GS911 owners need more than the 10 VIN limit, unless they work on BMW bikes.
Here you find the "specs"- enthusiast/ pro

TRJeff:
If I am on the road and offer to help a fellow BMW rider and use my I Phone will I use up 1 vin#?

Haakon:
As the "compare" chart tell, You can not do "service" with a phone, so there is no limit at all.

Haakon:
A more detailed description of the VIN limit can be found here.

In short, I have helped many owners, using my tiny "portable" laptop.
I never used a VIN for that as no service functions.
The "mobile" or "phone" software do NOT support "service" functions.
In short, unless you do not read the Hexcode links:
You can not and will never use any of the 10 VIN numbers using a moblie.
End of this, when using a PC, you are always ASKED if you want to register a new VIN before it is done.
If you never got that question and agreed, you have 10 VIN`s to "use"  :-)
