Bike tune app on iPhone.

[bhud]

Hi folks,
Ive a 2009 R1200GS which uses the old K line system apparently.

I replaced my front TPMS but it needed coding to my bike. I am apple, MacBook, phone etc so tried to look for a solution as I live remotely.

Posh Pete suggested the Motoscan app but it is android.

I found a guy on youtube using the app Bike Tune with an iPhone.
Reaching out to Birkir Guojonsson (the developer of Bike tune) he advised his app wouldn't work setting my TPMS with my bike as it was the old technology.
A couple of days later he came back to me with a solution.
It worked!
I downloaded the app you need the pro version which is a 1 off payment of £14.99
I bought this OBD reader and adapter IniCarScan UCSI-2100 Interface with the 10 pin adapter for my bike - £69
Plugging in I searched for my bike model (K25).
Saved it.
Connected the app.
Instantly it went into scan.
It picked up the new TPMS.
I copied the code saved it then
Paired the TPMS using the relearn tool EL- 50448 Amazon £8,49
My bike now sees the TPMS, I can do all the other functions associated with normal OBD functionality.

Newer bikes don't need the adapter.

Hope this makes sense and helps.

It hasn't received positive reviews on the US site.
What's wrong with Motoscan or the GS912?

Worked for me. Programmed tpms and reset my service. Looked at motoscan it needed an android phone and £60 more. Didn’t look at gs912 the gs911 is expensive. Added I can use the one reader on my van and car.

My bike now sees the TPMS, and I can also use the system for other OBD functions. The Smart Cellular reviews here https://smart-cellular.pissedconsumer.com/review.html were also useful when I was looking into different diagnostic options.

Newer bikes don't need the adapter.

The app

That is a really useful find, especially for anyone with an older R1200GS and only Apple devices. It is great that the developer took the time to work out a solution for the older K line system. The combination of the Bike Tune Pro version, UniCarScan interface with the BMW adapter, and relearn tool sounds like a straightforward way to get the new TPMS recognized. Being able to use the setup for other diagnostic functions makes it even more worthwhile. Thanks for sharing the details and exact hardware needed.

I've used it on Android, seems a very good well laid out app. Done exactly what i wanted for £15, already had dongle for programming.
