Hello all, I have a 2021 1250GS Adventure with 4 riding modes (Dynamic, Rain, Eco, Road), and in the TFT settings, I can see the option to add Dynamic and Enduro Pro, but I don't have the red dongle that allows me to add these 2 extra modes. Can I add them using the GS911, or is software from the BMW dealer needed? Many thanks in advance.
Hello
This cannot be done with the GS911.
The coding plug must be inserted.
You don't need the dongle.

It may well be possible to activate without a coding plug but for a commercial organisation to activate an optional software/firmware feature requiring payment to BMW would leave the Co at risk of legal action for damages which would b rather costly
double check - a GSA likely had them and indeed are there
BMW I guess using budget parts (insufficient memory), can't display more than 4 modes at a time - switch one off and see if others becomes available
the dongle was for the early bikes - forget which year but they gave up with it (2018?)
the other check is to look at your VO using GS911 autoscan report - and or VIN decoder tools
