General Discussion / Re: Help in Comprehending Hexcode Software's Custom PIDs and Diagnostics

« Last post by Skim on October 05, 2024, 10:06:36 AM »

In  my experience with GS-911, real time data recording is quite comprehensive on my (older) models and sufficient to identify anomalies and causes using software like LiveGraph. Hopefully before PID's show up as fault codes, although some unexpected surprises are inevitable. The use of an oscilloscope in monitoring component condition is also handy and highly rewarding if you enjoy condition monitoring and preventive and scheduled maintenance. Components prone to failure and on your specific model will pop out on various forums and allow you to monitor and schedule service/maintenance. Welcome to the GS-911 and enjoy!

What  model of bike do you have & why refer to car diagnostics which is not relevant to the bikes ?

GS-911 / Re: R1300GS GS911 Compatibility

« Last post by WayneC on October 05, 2024, 03:02:07 AM »

I know the GS911 is not fully functional with the R1300GS due to the new programming BMW installed on the newer models.  I emailed Hexcan and got back and seemingly an underwhelming answer. The issue is I removed the stock fog lamps and added a Hexcan to power a pair of Denali S4's.  So now with the open circuit on the stock fog lamps I get a fault, the GS911 recognizes the fault but is unable to clear it.   Any ideas?

The issue in removal of the stock fog lights generating fault codes is that ECU firmware is monitoring current through the circuit & unless BMW have allowed for turning off the monitoring via coding there would be little that Hexcode could do to stop the fault codes

On other older models it has been possible to stop fault codes for removed devices by plugging in either a resistor or a 3rd party module an example is the module for where exhaust flap has been removed

General Discussion / Help in Comprehending Hexcode Software's Custom PIDs and Diagnostics

« Last post by Andro_12 on October 04, 2024, 11:16:48 AM »

Hello Everyone,

I have recently been exploring with Hexcode software and have been working with vehicle data and diagnostics. I've been able to understand the fundamentals of the program rather well, but I'm having trouble with some of the more complex diagnostic features and custom PIDs (Parameter IDs).

Could someone please clarify the proper way to put up custom PIDs? In particular, I'm interested in learning how to create and utilize unique formulas for real-time monitoring and data logging. In addition, I would want to know about any resources or best practices you would suggest for making the most of the software's diagnostic tools.

I would also be interested in hearing about any experiences you have had incorporating Hexcode diagnostics into more general car maintenance procedures. Any advice or assistance would be really valued!

I'm eager to absorb knowledge from the community and make a contribution where I can. Thank you in advance.

General Discussion / Re: Try using GS911 USB on OSX via CrossOver

« Last post by helgaella99 on October 02, 2024, 06:23:39 AM »

It seems you're trying to use the GS911 USB tool on a MacBook Air running macOS Mojave, but you're facing challenges with storage and compatibility. Unfortunately, there isn't a native GS911 USB driver for macOS. You might consider using CrossOver or a similar solution, but ensure compatibility with the GS911 tool. Alternatively, using an external hard drive for Windows might be necessary if CrossOver doesn't work. You can join Build Now GG

Hi Ruan,

I've sent through the device the logs and the serial number as asked by mail.

Thank you for your help.
