Hi, anybody know the GS911 can set the speedo meter scale from miles
to km/h or not?

Thanks
Benson

This is not possible with the GS-911.
You need coding. Only a dealer can do this.

Best,

Jos

May be implemented in the future?

We actually have this working in the lab, when we are happy that
everything is working as expected, we'll put it in the next Beta version.

This is awesome news. I've never quite understood why what would seem mundane things such as changing clocks to and from 12/24 hr periods, MPH/Km/h always required a trip to the shop where depending on dealer could cost some serious $$. In part I blame this on BMW because those types of settings should be available without tools, but it's nice to see that soon we may have this option with the GS-911. Thanks to everybody there!

Hi Kobus,
Reading the below has prompted my memory.... for a future request
On the 1200 GS the dash display as standard shows a 12 hr clock & Tyre
pressure monitoring in Kpa

To change this to a 24hr clock & PSI for tyre monitoring ....requires a
visit to your friendly (or not so) dealer.

Kind regards

Malcolm

while we have this can (of worms) ;-) open...

some requested changes:
km/mi
12h/24h
degrees F/C
kPa/PSI (I will need to check on this one...)

others?

best,
Stephan

cause there is no documentation on what models it can be done one and
which it can't... and what will happen if you try it on one that can't...

not to mention that most other coding info is encrypted... things are
never as simple as they seem ;-)

Basic component replacement coding perhaps? (i.e. ABS module replacement etc)

Cheers,
Ray

others?

Related to km/mi, I think litre/gallon is also relevant in the consumption info.

While on this subject, Tyre Pressure Sensor coding is something nice to have as it certainly will run out of batt power and need to be replaced with new unit.

How about the count of the number of times the fault has occurred?

Kind regards,

As I started this one, so I'll throw another spanner in

Something that may be helpful, not necessarily on the 911 unit itself, but
on your website.....
What about a complete listing of all the various fault codes (appreciate
that some might overlap on some models) and more importantly what they
actually mean
And of course the big one... What the problem might be and the possible
rectification.

If this could be built & be interactive. Riders who have had issues with a
particular code & know the solution code fill in a known solution section.
(Obviously no guarantees given)

This will no doubt be a large task, but the benefits will I'm sure be
appreciated by all BM riders that use the superb GS911 unit
..What are you thoughts out there?


Kind Regards

Malcolm

+1, even if it starts out incomplete and gets built over time.

MY bike is "simple"... not a lot of information stored or available...it be
by the GS911 OR the BMW workshop unit.
(my bike is a 2000 model F650 GS :-)...not even a "real" BMW :-))))
The ECU was made by Hella and not Bosch
But.. that "simpicity" also makes faultfinding easier in many ways :-)
When the engine stop and the GS911 say its a fuel pump failure I KNOW where
to start looking :-)))
-----------
SORRY- What I wanted to say: the GS911 can not do more than read the fault
codes or whatever... as does the BMW GT1 and the, now obsolete, MoDiTec
units.
Some fault codes can be very specific..others are not :-(
I know the GS911 "crew" update the fault code information as soon as its
available.... maybe even faster than some BMW GT1 computers are updated
:-)))
If no specific information on a certain code is available... then you cant
expect the GS911 to be "better" than the GT1.
------------
A list of the codes and what they mean: Yes, sure, why not... but why?? The
GS911 DO tell what the list would ??...I think ?

Another +1,     I concur that we need to build on it like a library.............

Best news ever about the coding of units guys! This is a great
improvement on the GS911 and I'm sure a lot of guys will agree.

+1 on the change from Gallons to Litres, that makes the fuel
consumption much more usable. Fuel consumption in km per gallon would
just be totally weird to try and figure out, so the gallons will
really have to be the standard metric litres.

Another thing that I've been told is possible, is to change the fuel
consumption from km/l to l/100km.. is this also a possibility?

Also, apparently the timing for the indicator can be changed from the
standard 200m & 10 seconds, to whatever would suit the rider better.
Would this be do-able?
