General Discussion / Re: March 2026 update issues

Last post by Selonaldson - June 04, 2026, 09:33:24 AM

Today, I tried to code the sport screen and cruising lights on my 2019 BMW R1250 GS, but none of the coding attempts were successful. I hadn't experienced such problems before the March 2026 update. I've been using a GS911 for about 10 years fnf, and my internet connection is good. At the end of the coding process, it gave a "coding successful" message, but the coding didn't actually take place.

If the software reports "coding successful" but the settings are not actually applied, it does sound like something may have changed after the March 2026 update. I would definitely open a ticket with Hexcode and include the GS911 logs, since they may already be aware of a compatibility issue with recent firmware or coding functions.

GS-911 Wifi / Re: (Better?) Instructions for...

Last post by WayneC - May 23, 2026, 12:15:45 PM

JR

The Hex forum was down or not accessible from Oz earlier, just got the new post email

I looked at the iPhone a long time ago to write a simple instruction & the GS911 side was straight forward to me but trying to understand the iPhone HotSpot setup to be the same IP No each time you activated it confused me

I think the trick if you could call it that is to do the iPhone HotSpot then that gives a target for directing the GS911 to it with the App & saving the config so you can then use the button on top to select the iPhone HotSpot

At one point I had 4 network settings in the GS911 for 3 workshops I was going to plus my home WiFi net, the GS911 just considers the iPhone HotSpot as a network

[but:]

Hey Wayne!!!

Thanks for jumping in ... :-)

I didn't do a stellar job of describing my issue....
I have a red-wifi-version GS-911 and I installed recently released the iPhone app (iphone 17 pro)
and was trying to set that up...

The sequence of steps of attaching to the wifi network offered by the 911
turning on the iPhone's hotspot for internet access and etc....
was a little confusing to me ...

but:
I was in a hurry
it was my first time trying it
the prompts didn't quite make sense
and...... I wasn't taking notes

other than that I should have been a total success ... right?    ::)

Afraid it has been years since I looked at D2D let alone with an iPhone Jim, has the GS911 ever been configured ?

I would go the other way of having the iPhone connect to the GS911 using the App

When doing diagnosis you should use a battery charger/power supply to maintain voltage, it is not a good idea not to do so & failure to do it will cause you problems further down the track, if the battery is dropping voltage then time to replace it

Buenas a todos el problema que tengo es que la bateria se me va abajo antes de oder scanear la moto y poder hacer cambio se puede realizar la moficicación de la revisión de la moto pero con la moto arrancada para que la bateria no me baje

Central Vehicle Electronics/ZFE/GM issues / Re: HELP - Mileage discrepancy...

Last post by Jughead - May 14, 2026, 01:53:18 PM

Yup, still sitting with a F650GS Dakar cluster that is intermittent.  LOTS of corrosion on the board and have had to bridge out multiple tracks just to get it semi functional.

Last post by WayneC - May 14, 2026, 01:44:09 PM

@miguelmpn  You can take your bike in to your friendly BMW dealer and have them code the new cluster with the correct mileage.  Note that they can only "upwrite" (apparently a BMW expression) and cannot "downwrite".  I.e. they can only add mileage to the new cluster, not lower it.

So, if your original cluster showed 40000km, and the new one shows 35000km, they can add the 5000km to the mileage display and match the DME.

If your new cluster shows 50000km, they cannot lower the mileage to 40000km.

This can also not be done with the GS911.

Good to see your commonsense post Jughead, the volume of the K7 dashes requiring repair due age has increased, did 3 repairs last week & another on its way, was not aware full recoding was possible on the dash assemblies
