ezCAN / Re: New feature requests for ezCAN ?
« Last post by SonicSparks91 on May 15, 2025, 12:37:57 PM »
I've had an idea, though I'm not sure of the specifics when it comes to how BMW senses / sends data about heated seats. But i'd like the ability to be able to choose on the fly between Grips Only, Seat Only or a mix of the two rather than have them married together and having to plug into the bike to change your preference.

I unfortunately have a bike spec'd without OEM Heated Seats, and it would be extremely cost ineffective to replace the harness to unlock that functionality just for the ability to use the menu.

I was thinking since its already possible to read the Heated Grip setting via the CAN Bus, and use that setting for any 3rd Party Seat through EzCAN, would it be possible to-do the same with the heated seat menu on BMW bikes?

I am unsure how the bike would react if the menu option was enabled with no such harness being installed, but it might be possible since its not all handled on one controller. (It could be enabled on the Instrument Cluster for the menu, but not enabled on the Body Controller to prevent issues with Current Sensing / Short Circuit Sensing on a nonexistent harness) I imagine it passes messages over CANBUS about the rider's selection in the cluster over to the BCM to actually heat up the seat like it does with the grips.

For the record, I have a 2023 1250GS. Afaik thats how heated accessories are handled on my bike.

Hi SonicSparks91

The primary issue with enabling the heated seats handlebar button (not possible via the ezCAN or GS-911 just yet), would be that the bike then expects load on that connector. When it doesn't find it, you'll get a fault on your dash.

For independent control over 2 different heated items, you can follow the same steps as this gentleman below:

Note that even if you don't use 2 jackets, the same applies for a 2nd heated item setup, you can control one with grips and another as an aux light set.

Kind regards and safe travels

Thanks for the response!!

This is what I was afraid of, I wasn’t sure if the bike would complain if you only enabled the feature on one module and not the other, or if there was a potential way to disable the current sensing….

It’s a shame that ive already used all my outputs on my current EzCan, otherwise this wouldn’t be much of an issue as I’ll have to sacrifice a light set for independent control, or buy another one.

Now that I think about it, would it be possible to trigger EzCan / other accessories over BMW’s NAV Prep? I am currently waiting on Chigee’s AIO 6, im curious if you could have some sort of “switch screen” for this sort of thing given how it’s already able to read canbus data off the bike as well as interact with the wonder wheel. That, and they have accessories for CAN/LIN bus if Nav Prep isn’t an option.

Obviously would require some collaboration.

Hi Peter

I can honestly say that the first quick shifter from BMW for R-series bikes that felt good and not violent, was the 2021 + version. The reset should improve it, but my experience is that it is a minor improvement, at best.

Kind regards

Thank you. Yes the bike does have gear shift assist. I do think that the recalibration worked but no change to the shifting. It’s okay anyway and I was just looking for possible improvement. No faults that wouldn’t clear.

Hi Elwin

Could you please send through a full autoscan of your bike? Best would probably be directly to our helpdesk on support@hexinnovate.com

You can use the below, either PDF or Download options will suffice:

Hi Peter

Thanks for the details, best practice would be to run an autoscan to see whether there are any faults stored, that will point you in the right direction of what needs to be done.

As your bike is a 2015 model, it will not be equipped with the TFT displays as that of the 1250 in the video, hence not the same expected behaviour. With the older models, there is no visual indication of when the gear calibration is completed, so you will just need to ride it in each for 10 seconds minimum. I'm not sure whether your bike is equipped with the quick shifter, but if it is not equipped, then you won't really notice anything different on the shift experience unless you use clutchless shifting. Personally, I find clutchless better the longer one rides, and more stubborn after a reset.

Kind regards and safe travels

Hi Walter

You'll need to navigate to either the instrument cluster menu from detected vehicle, or to the service reminder / vehicle functions menu. Here you'll find XKOMBIHI functions > service reminder reset.

Kind regards and safe travels

GS-911 / Re: S1000RR K67 with extra wheels using TPMS/RDS?
« Last post by Ruan on May 15, 2025, 10:26:17 AM »
Hi Asmetana

Unfortunately not, the XRDC controller only stores one set of wheels (the old hex head 1200 and the latest R1300 have 2 sets again), so each time you change wheels, you'll need to learn those sensors again.

Kind regards

Hi Missin44

Thank you for reaching out. We have released this functionality some time ago - you'll just need to navigate to the instrument cluster > service functions > coding options. Under this tree you'll find configuration, which allows you to change the units of measure.

Kind regards and safe travels

ezCAN / Re: ezCAN On/off control of police fan fitted to BMW 2010 R1200RT

Hi Katarapkokid

Thank you for reaching out. We've got a HEX ezSwitch coming out shortly, I'd suggest signing up to our newsletter:
https://www.hexezcan.com/

This will be a handlebar attachment that you can configure to control one of your light sets. For example, if you want the fan on at maximum whenever you toggle it, you can configure the aux lights output as 100% brightness on low and high beam with no features enabled. Then, when you're ready to turn the fan on, simply press this switch to toggle it on/off.

Kind regards and safe travels
Ruan
