GS 911

Nobody's denying any of that but the OBDLink does the same (as far as I can see). So why would someone buy one over the other?

see my edited post above...

the odblink ones are very good, the MX+ would be best for working on multiple vehicle brands - but they are either stupid in their literature and I presume its limited for reason I don't know of - as they produce the OBDLink CX optimised for BMW vehicles

Neat. I wonder if it works with the LCs - will have a look in a couple of weeks when I've got the bike under cover. I liked his TPMS wake up device as well

it works on all BMW bikes - ticking the box to enable cluster option for Tyre temps was there 7 years before the other guys - note the K1600 analogue cluster doesn't have the tyre temp option for an odd reason - in fact it can't even spell the word correctly

Whoa...you are overthinking it.

Yes, a good OBD adapter that will work on MotoScan and also the car.

The reason for buying the OBDLink MX+rather than the UniCarScan was purely that the UCS is currently unavailable on Amazon, so went with the second option.

I have one of those devices...Amazon or eBay they're much the same...cheap and they work.

no one is overthinking - just check firmware updates for these tools - to see how often new news comes to the party about tricks manu have to make reliable comms effective - this is the company that do the firmware for the ODBlink dongles

Scan Tools

Scan tools compatible with all OBD-II cars, light trucks, and motorcycles. Free, open source, and commercial automotive diagnostic software.

the MX+ last update (5th since that recent product was released - I expect we'll get a new update soon)

Fixed a bug that could cause interruptions with software that uses the STSLEEP API

• Fixed user input validation for STPPMA
• Fixed an INTERNAL ERROR caused by mismatching protocols in periodic messaging
• Fixed an issue with the Bluetooth LED turning on when it was disabled

This release also added a couple of new features and a change:

• Added STIP command for ISO-14230 message parity
• Added STIIAP command for ISO-14230 initialization address parity
• Changed STIFI to keep ISO-14230 protocol open after successful init

Brilliant little tool the GS911. I bought mine when they were having a promotion a while ago and got the Pro (unlimited registrations) for the price of a hobby.

Seems like the MX+ has had it's issues...and at the bargain price of £60-£140 approx! Depending where you get it. Glad I have the Unicarscan USCI 2100 as recommended by Motoscan price (£69 complete with OBDII cable) from GENDAN Ltd

there are firmware updates for that too - now std part of using the bigger dark blue device....

most of the earlier iteration (little square brick) that shared the same name never got a firmware update - but are update-able
I've had motoscan for 10 years and turns out mine is actually a unicarscan 2000 running firmware 1.94

he does a very good car multi-brand tool for peanuts (only drive line faults - but its light years on from the free toys most have on playstore) - August last year I tried to use my unicarscan 2000 on a 2011 Toyota Hilux and it won't get comms - but works 100% fine on a 2006 corolla - sadly it won't do a firmware update to sort its brain for later comms protocol they invented - and don't forget two Toyota's out now are actually BMWs - the current Supra is a 4 series, forgotten the other one

Just as a minor follow-up - just checked and tyre temperatures aren't available/visible on a '15 GSA.
