Thanks, but I like the look of the mesh grill and I just take it off (simple pull / push) on rare night rides.
I can live with that.

Yeah its a Euro4 thing.
But you should still be able to get the data, just need a different cable and wherever it needs to be plugged in?
When you've figured that bit out post it on here for others benefit
I adjusted the Auxiliary 18W Cree Spot Lights so they are aimed higher up the road on Main Beam
I took off the Touratech Grill Headlight Guard (which is what I'll always do on night riding from now on)
I redesigned the Night Dashboard Layout, so it shows 'elevation' instead of pitch and roll (which was mirrored wrongly due to G-Metrix coming from rear camera, but being displayed on front camera).
You should see an improvement in lighting in this short clip
The Garmin Virb XE has some 'professional settings' so I changed the ISO to 6400 as it was very low light levels (pitch black)

Warlord - Did all you g-metrix data appear when you create a video with the Garmin edit software ?
I can connect my obd2 to my camera but the only data thats available to me via the software are the std Garmin sensors built in to the camera.
Hoping I can find a work around.

In summary Yes, all the OBD2 data options appeared at the bottom of the G-Metrics list.
Give me a call and I'll try to help
I have a little update for anyone following this running a pre 2017 bike -
My bike is a 2015 non OBD2 bike the following are my findings over the past couple of days.
Garmin Virb XE installed on front mount Via Ezcan
I was hoping to run a similar setup to Warlord with the OBD2 bluetooth adaptor connected to a round ten pin to obd2 lead, but having purchased a conversion lead from eBay it appears this is not going to work - The adaptor powers up and I can connect it to my camera but I can't get it to transmit any data. I'm wondering if a GS-911blu unit would solve this issue ?
My Garmin Virb is connected via the Garmin rugged cable which I shortened, but I have now removed the battery in my camera. This means that once the Ezcan powers down (mines set to 12 secs after ignition off) the camera will shutdown as well.
Really impressed with the Virb having been a long time GoPro and Drift user.

Did you try an android app on your mobile to ensure its actually transmitting?
I have tried it with my android tablet - I can connect to the device via bluetooth no problems but no data
Which device did you get,have a look see if theres a reset button located on the device if not it may be faulty?
Another alternative is to try it on a car to check the operation.

I know you've probably done some of this, but my fault finding would recommend the following.
a) Ensure you've done a software update on the Garmin Virb XE and Garmin Virb Edit. Make sure you're on the latest versions.
b) Ensure your Garmin Virb XE is creating G-Metrics Data on its own (without the OBD2 Data reader connected). Can you see this data on video uploads to Garmin Virb Edit Software? This will at least tell you the camera is working as it should.
c) Ensure the Garmin Virb XE Camera Menu Settings are correct. It should be set up as 'Main Virb' (not Extended Virb). It should not have any other Bluetooth Device Connected to it (except your OBD2 data reader).
d) Check your OBD2 Data reader is ELM327 compatible. If possible connect a mobile device with suitable APP and ensure the OBD2 reader is transmitting data when the motorcycle is turned on and running.
e) If the OBD2 isn't transmitting data...
- Check your conversion cable is ELM327 compatible.
- Check your motorcycle Canbus is compatible with ELM327 take a look here to see if this helps

I found this Forum Thread on Pre-2017 models Canbus systems.
Go to PAGE 7 as it refers to ELM327 connectivity

From the article above, it appears BMW Canbus varies from model to model. This creates a sensitivity to which readers will work.
Also it suggests some OBD2 conversion cables haven't been wired correctly and may not work.
So it could be a bit of trial and error on pre-2017 models but not impossible.
I'd suggest read through the linked forum thread above
Did you buy this device in the end? Did it work?
My concern is it advertises a secure 128 bit encrypted link. This means it may not connect to the Garmin Virb Camera?
Anyone tested this?
Right I have tested the adaptor with the wife car and it's all working as expected....
I'm not sure where to go from here ?? I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried a working OBD2 adaptor and conversion lead.

I have a very similar setup to the OP, except I'm on a 2017 R1200RT not a GS, sorry about that! And I'm using a VIRB Ultra 30. My bluetooth OBD2 adapter is the exact same one though, and it works a treat, except I've noticed the throttle position only goes to 85% when it's wide open.
Anyone else got this, or a fix?

Got any footage we could look at?

The audio is out of sync, which is annoying, but apparently down to the XD card not being fully compatible with the VIRB Ultra 30. They are very picky on cards apparently.

I've got an hour 58, but that's not much help with the WOT issue...
