gs911- software from hex

[tosh23]

We all know about the little yellow box of tricks,in usb or blue tooth format, Also the software that is uploaded onto a laptop to work in conjunction with the little yellow box is available from hex...
Anyone know the hardware or software that hex (south africa) have integrated into the little yellow box..or where indeed to get the flash from..
I cant see BMW using a little yellow box to diagnose a problem whilst in for repair, surely they have a laptop or computer that plugs into the diagnosis port on the bike...Thats the software im interested in..
It will be from hex ( south africa) but without ringing south africa for the software code does anyone know in the UK?
Ive searched on here to no avail....The only reference I can find is here,,

Many thanks Tosh.

If I understand you correctly, you're assuming that the GS911 software is the same as that used by BMW dealerships to communicate with the ECUs in motorcycles. Is that correct?

If so, I'm afraid it's a wrong assumption. The BMW software is bespoke and only available to Motorrad dealerships and that's the very reason that the GS911 was developed.

Having said that, if you want to dive into the murky world of Chinese rip-off replicas, there's this.....

Note, however that BMW has now replaced the GT1 with ICOM ISIS and it seems that there's already a Chinese rip-off......

If it were me, I'd but a GS911.

That's exactly what I was looking for...
Just thinking out loud, BMW mechanics that work on cars use software for their full can-bus cars...Compatibility = NO

Ohh well, It was worth an ask...
I thankyou all...Tosh
