Great video. I’ve been using Motoscan Ultimate with my 2017 R1200GS for over a year and it has paid for itself many times over. Between this and the BMW maintenance & service manuals on DVD (that I bought before they discontinued sales to owners) I’ve avoided considerable expenses.
Where did you get the Manual on DVD?
@@6Whodini I ordered it through my local dealer before BMW stopped selling them.
My unicarscan adapter arrived today on your recommendations and works perfectly with moto scan on my phone on my s1000rr. Thank you for all your help and information!
Your welcome 😉👍🏻👊🏻
Hi I am from Colombia and really love the way you explain and share knowledge ... Thanks old mechanic you have saved my days many times 🎉 thanks for ever 🙏
Thanks and welcome
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have an old GS911 and recently bought the UniCarScan UCSI-2100 adapter which works fine with my R1200R. I've installed the "MotoScan" app but I´m in doubt whether to buy the profesional or the ultimate version. When I do an engine sync with the GS911 (lock idle actuaters) the bike is idling very rough afterwards and becomes even unridable. You can repair that by doing a "reset adaptation values" with the GS911. But afterwards you have to relearn the gears, it's explained in the contextual menu. I contacted the helpdesk and they advised me to do a firmware update of the bike which I did. But it doesn't cure the problem, the problem persists. So I do it like you, Old Mechanic.😊 I don't know if the MotoScan has a function to lock the idle actuaters when doing an engine sync. After the firmware update of my bike, once and a while I can't display the outside temperature on the instrument cluster.
Awesome, I have a F800 and a K1600GTL and do a little tinkering. I was considering the GS911 until I found some alternatives online. Your side by side comparison has tipped the scales in favor of Motoscan. Yes I would like to see the licensed video.
Hi please have a look at my motoscan playlist. There are many video's with the ultimate version. Have fun
love your videos. jsut took your advice. i bought the Unicarscan 3000 for my BMW C650 GT 2016. hopefully i get it to do the stuff i need done. thanks for all the good advice. terry from Ireland
From USA, looking forward to more info. I have found that great tools are not expensive ...they are priceless. However, this seems to possibly be a good alternative. BTW, love your videos, sub'd and t-Up! I also own the same bike! Tis a wonderful machine!
Yes. Do the follow up. My new R18 is in need of the initial service reset
They also sell their own obd interface, which so far looked best built from from the ones I had. Many Chinese do not work, or quit operation after a short while or disintegrate into pieces.
It's costing way more, than 10 bucks, but at the end is reasonable, if it holds trouble free. Plus they warrant their software to work with it.
In general, I have found the ones relying on WiFi connection to work more reliably than the ones on Bluetooth.
OR MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner - the link shows it to be rather pricy ex amazon ...I got the green coloured one plus cable for less from Ali express....thanks for a great video !
Thanks for your for the useful video - Im looking at buying used R1200GS-this will be be great as a pre-inspection tool. ;)
Specialy the Motoscan app 😉👍🏻
Very helpful! I was wondering about it. I'm off to order a Motoscan!
Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻👊🏻
You are bang on mate. GS911 way overpriced. Please share your experience when you buy the software. Thanks.
Hi, good info. Follow up would be nice. I saw that their is a E Fan field as well. I am keen to reduce the starting temperature of the fan. But guess thats not possible.
Congratulations on your videos, they are very interesting. I bought Motoscan to know the error codes for my 2013 K1600GTL. Or I can find the error codes for my bike. Thank you
Where i can find the error code for my bike. thanks
Very helpful did you do the follow up ?
Brilliant as always Great information again delivered in a simple and concise video Thankyou Sir.
Thanks ! 👍🏻👊🏻🏍
Please where did you buy a working elm327?
The rev limiter prior to the first service can only be removed with GS-911 USB or wifi.
Nope for that you can use the MotoScan app too 😉
Hi Old Mechanic, my congrats. for your videos. one question for you...i have seen the other videos and you have changed the interface for motoscan with a new one. you're using the UNICAR scan. I would to ask if with the ELM327 (OBDII) the same that you shown into this video you found some problems. (i have the same). Many thanks
hello congratulations for the video very well explained Jorge Eduardo Brasil
I'm really glad that I found your channel. I have a question, that I am hoping that you may be able to answer. I have a 2009 BMW K1300R. It was not fitted with the optional TPMS, but I now wish to add this. I can get the wheel sensors, but I do not know if if is possible to program or initiate the electronic system with the Motoscan App to show the tyre pressure values on the onboard computer display, where you can toggle through the different functions. Many thanks Dave
Excellent video as always and yes please, bring on the follow up
Definitely interested in the follow up, I may go moto scan route myself.
Please do brother, all these tips are priceless
Thanks 👍🏻👊🏻
Hello, excellent video from which we can learn a lot. do you maybe have information for a cheaper version of the OBD LM327 which is the firmware version in the one that works on your BMW considering there are a lot of them on the market to buy.
Hello Old Mechanic, at 4:52 I can see the picture with the OBD II interface and at 6:03 I can see that the interface is different (ELM 327). I guess the correct is the ELM which is the one connected to the motorcycle. Buy I also want to confirm if OBD II works for this bike or not?
Hi , one question i bought unicarscan OBD 2 and a cable and motoscan ultimate.. all connected in my K25 Bmw 1200 Gs Adv from 2012 ... i made a test to ESA ( perfect) but my question , why the led light power from unicarscan stay red all the time , i saw in your vídeos that all lights are green and blue ..... any advise ? Thanks Filipe from Lisbon
Can either of these be used for a 2019 BMW F850 GS Adventure to test ABS and perform other necessary checks??? Looking specifically for MotoScan App.
Yes 👍🏻
Motoscan is certainly better value than the GS911, though to perform ABS complete brake bleed the Ultimate software must be purchased. Looking forward to TOM (The Old Mechanic) performing a front fork oil change on an ESA suspension.
Why did you write TOM when you had to write the full name anyways...?
@@Mrtweet81 Why do we take the long way home when riding?
Hallo Tom, dank voor de heldere video! Weet jij of je met deze OBD interface ook de EWS-functie kunt annuleren. Oftewel: kun je de ringantenne omzeilen?
Hoi Harry, wat is de reden dat je de EWS functie buiten werking wil zetten ?
@@TheOldMechanic een kapotte ringantenne… en dat blijft een kwetsbaar punt, dus wat mij betreft kan de EWS buiten werking worden gesteld.
If someone purchases the ultimate version of the motor scan app can you use this on as many motorcycles as you want or is it just limited to your bike or a few bikes?
As much as you want 😉
You did not show how you connect the OBD device to the smartphone !
Thats with Bluetooth 😉👍🏻
@@TheOldMechanic my ELM 327 was wifi only, it is not recognized by moto scan even in wifi mode, sad, I had to purchase unicarscan
Well done, 😊
Thank you! 😃
Please do the follow up TOM...It would be nice for as not so techy individuals..
Hi Virdi, I am absolute going to make a follow up for you and all my subscribers.😉🏍
Het werkt alleen met de OBD 2 interface ELM327 ! In je filmpje laat je 2 verschillende zien. De OBD 2 interface support al OBD2 protocols en de OBD2 EPM 327.
Heel verwarrend
Hi TOM.
Looking forward to use the Motoscan app, on your recommendation.
What did you do to deal with the fault code you got with the horn relay.
Did you delete the fault, or acceptet it, or what.
Looking forward to your answer.
Kind regards, Thomas
Yes please make a follow up !
have a look at my playlist: th-cam.com/video/DrCU8cQglGk/w-d-xo.html
Hallo TOM, bedankt voor de duidelijke video’s. Ik weet inmiddels wat ik moet aanschaffen, maar blijf toch met een belangrijk vraagstuk zitten. Ik heb een K1300GT voorzien van ESA. Kan je mij misschien vertellen of ik de schokbrekers van de K1300 met deze set kan kalibreren? Heb je de set wellicht al eens gebruikt / geprobeerd bij een K1300? Bedankt voor je reactie, groet Kees
Hoi Kees ik heb de scanner nog niet gebruikt voor een K1300. Misschien kun je eens kijken pp de website van de motoscan app 😉
@@TheOldMechanic TOM, ik heb op de site gekeken zoals je suggereerde en het zou moeten werken. De K1300GT heeft een ZFE regeleenheid en die is benodigd voor de kalibratie van de schokbrekers. Nu alleen nog even een Androïd telefoon zien te scoren ik heb namelijk alles van Apple en dat werkt dus niet kom ik net achter. Evengoed bedankt!
Great video!( I like the humour too😅)
Thanks ! 👍🏻👊🏻🏍
Looking forward to more information on the pro version.
heb de ful version van Motoscan en heel tevreden. Hun support is ook goed
Thx, Mr. Old 🤗
great video, congratulations. with motoscan can i synchronize the cylinders?
Great video! Double power, activate!🤣
If I get the ultimate version of moto scan, can it be used for more than one motorcycle? Great vids. Thanks.
Yes as many as you like
Thank you for your videos. I'm trying to buy the cheap obd but the link goes to a very expensive one. you can help?
It turns out that the cheep obd2 scanner isn't in stock anymore. But if I didn't had one at this moment I would go for that more expencive one as thats more future-proof 😉
Hoi! Leuke en leerzame video’s! Over die kabel, op de diagnose stekker waar koop ik die?
Hahaha ik zie het al!!
ik heb ook beide. ik heb de gs911 maar de pro versie (ongelimiteerde vin) en ik heb ook de motoscan ultimate.
Ik gebruik beide. maar de gs911 speelt korter op de bal met nieuwe modellen toe te voegen.
de motoscan neem ik altijd mee als ik ga rijden met de motor omdat deze minder plaats inneemt.
als je de normale versie hebt van de gs 911 kan je probleemloos upgraden naar een pro versie tegen betaling.
Hoi Koen, helaas kan je de rode GS 911 niet upgraden, je bent verplicht een nwe te kopen. Als je er 10 gedaan hebt. Met de gele kon dat wel 😉🏍👍
Good information,
hello, can you set up the shifter with the motoscan device?
Grazie TOM video e informazioni molto utili , congratulazioni ti seguo sempre .
R1200gs 2007 problema spia ABS
Come posso risolvere ?
@@TheOldMechanic la luce abs dopo il check rimane accesa fissa non lampeggiante , provato sulla ghiaia abs non funziona per nulla
I have the same LM327 interface, but just a question. How did you connect app to interface via wifi?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Hi, the LM327 doesn't work, in the discription below is a link to the propper one 😉👍🏻👊🏻
In this video, the cheap obd 2 dongle works with lite version... in the follow up video you use another one, the unicarscan... does the red and orange dongle works with the premium version of the app too?
@theoldmechanic
Which moto scan elm 327 unit is the one for bmw motorcycles? many choices on Amazon, maybe the generic then buy the correct app?
Looks very promising. Just wonder if it would work on Truimph?
Hi Ed, For a Triumph you need the, so called TigerTool ;-). Greets from The Old Mechanic
Where we can find this ODB 2? In the description doesn't have a link.
In my country i found exact that ODB 2 you show but as I reed the messages here, is not work with ELM327 but this working ODB 2 you show is a ELM327.
HERE YOU CAN ORDER THE (NEW UPDATED) SCANNER THE UniCarScan UCSI-2100: amzn.to/3EUeUBe
OR MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner: amzn.to/3GbxFB3
AND OFCOURSE THE SPECIAL CABLE: amzn.to/3VMLtrM
HERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE MOTOSCAN APP: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.wgsoft.motoscan&gl=us
I'm using Motoscan Ultimate. Purchased some cheap aliexpres cable convertor (from that bmw round connector to OBD2) and some cheap ali Wi-fi OBD2 dongle. Works like a charm. Although I'm no expert with Motoscan but to access MOT (adaptation etc.) the key has to be turned ON and Neutral selected ! Otherwise I can't access it on my 2004 Dakar.
Greetings Old Mechanic, I am a old mechanic too, retired from the spanners, now just work on my own bikes...I too have a K25 1200 GS and have bought the moto-scan app. In the config menus there are a lot of options to activate or deactivate functions, how do I know if my bike has been fitted with the optics to switch them on or off? Has BMW released a list of what functions are available for the K25?
Dear old mechanic at the episode where You test the Motoscan You use obd reader ELM 327 for BM,so could You send me a link for the data cable you use.Thank You in advance.Best regards
Just have a look at Aliexpress
Can I turn off the rev limiter? Pls help
Hi, good videos but I can't find the Motoscan app at the Appstore? is it only for the Android phones
Yep..
Thank you for erasing my last posts. This attitude shows how serious and honest you are.....
Hi my dad has bluetooth version and it doesnt warking it is because we have the bluetooth version or there is a different problem
Is there any particular reason you switched from the elm327 bluetooth interface that you first had to the unicarscan version?
Yes because that didn't worked properly 😉
Is possible to reset tps sensor with motoscan?
is the limiter will give you an option to remove it? i will picking up the S1000XR and i heard they will remove the limiter when you have it service. sadly i don't take my bikes @ dealerships after purchasing it. im doing all my service for cheaper price.
Yes with the motoscan app you can remove the limiter 😉but i am not 100 % sure for your bike too
Hallo Tom, ik krijg bij de door jou gedemonstreerde OBDII adapter telkens de melding error, 'no connection to unit'. Hij verbind eerst wel (groen lichtje), als ik dan een categorie aanklik kapt ie er mee. Is de connector van 8,50 euro gewoon slechte Chinese kwaliteit, of doen ik iets verkeerd?
Kan maar zo aan de kabel liggen
OK, ga ik checken, en anders toch maar de OBDLink LX aanschaffen. @@TheOldMechanic
I have a question, with any of those can I calibrate the throttle on a GS 700 so 2018?
My ultra cheap MotoScan could do what my grossly overpriced GS911 could not do, something as simple as a 12H to 24H display change.
Hello Old Mechanic. I received my UniCarScan USCI-2000 and have the Motoscan App Ultimate version. My BMW is a K52 (2018 R1200RT). I wasn't able to find Tire Temperature feature on the app? And, when I choose ESA in the app it displays a not connected to controller message? Does the engine need to running to connect to the ESA controller? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks from British Columbia, Canada
Great video, wished you would have used a different finger....😇
Hello Old Mechanic, have you tried the Chinese yellow GS911, or do you have references to them?
Hey Bert, where’s Ernie?
Gs911 WiFi is a great tool very quick and easy to use but as mentioned over priced
Yes, true 😉
Can you send me the link for the good OBD 2 INTERFACE
Hallo, is het mogelijk de servicemelding te resetten van een BMW GSA1200 LC bwj 2015 met de gratis versie van MotoScan app of welke versie is er nodig ?
Hoi Ivop, daarvoor heb je minstens de Professional versie (29.99 euro ) nodig. En natuurlijk de OBD2 adapter + kabel. Https://www.motoscan.de
Gr👍🏍
@@TheOldMechanic Werkt de professional versie ook met de adapter uit uw video (ELM327
Sorry I have some questions.? This Obd2 can use with bmws1000rr years 2018.? Please reply me.Thanks.
Yes, no problem
Ok. Thanks for information and good videos.I see from THAILAND.
👍🏻👊🏻🏍
With the elm327 can you reset the service???obviously with the pro version of motoscan...thanks a lot I'm waiting
I have the s1000r the same of your son 😂
hoi old mechanic, Werkt de professional versie van motoscan ook met de adapter uit uw video (ELM327) ?
Nee helaas.
does this work on bmw r18b 2022 for service reset
hola,tengo un sensor quik shift para montar en una r 1250 r la cual venia sin quikshift ,¿es posible activar la funcion con el motoscan? google translate
Hello, I have a quik shift sensor to mount on an r 1250 r which came without quikshift, is it possible to activate the function with the motoscan?
Did it work for the professional Version to code and set service things like with this WIFI OBD? Would like to have one for an BMW R1200GS from 2007 to change Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor and code new ones. If this works with this OBD and the Mootscan APP. Doing some checks as well as reseting error codes and so on. ABS pump activation and more. I already have an Adapter cable for my BMW motorcycle. Would also need and buy the RDKS learning system tyre valve activator tool for tyre pressure monitor sensor roundabout 13 EUR. But I don't want to spend 100 EUR or more just for this OBD adapter. But this price about 10 EUR is very fine if it will work. Did someone try it with the professional Motoscan Ultra APP Version?
I'd say neither. Just learn E-Sys and it's pretty much free, just get a $10 cable.
Make the follow up if you haven't! I have been wanting to order 1 or the other for a month or two now.
Look a my playlist: BMW MotoScan TIPS, TRICKS & SECRETS 😉👍🏻👊🏻
@@TheOldMechanic I found it! Did you ever find a way to edit the indicator like you can with the GS911? That's the only thing making me want the want THE GS911 over the moto scan. I can't stand how short my blinkers stay on.
With the motoscan app you can do that.😉
Elm327 cant reset date service. Message too long in motoscan
Yep you need the 'real' one. Look at the website of the Motoscan app maker. They are not that expencive. 🤛👍🏍
Hoi Tom, ik heb zojuist de ELM327 gekocht (door jouw video) welke adapter heb ik nodig? en welke versie Moto Scan App. Ik wil eigenlijk alleen de service waarschuwing verwijderen.
Ik heb een BMWS1000rr en een BMW R nine T Urban GS
Hallo,
Voor mijn BMW R1200GS van 2011 ben ik, na het zien van de video, aan het oriënteren op de unicarscan-ding-geval.
Waar kan ik die motoscan app downloaden? Het staat niet in de appstore van Apple
Ik lees dat die app alleen werkt met Android. Klopt dit?
Zelf heb ik een Iphone. Het zou fijn zijn als die app ook werk met IOS. Kan het nergens terug vinden.
De video's zijn zijn top. Hebben zeker nut gehad bij het zelf onderhouden van mijn GS.
Hoi Mr D, volgens mij wordt er al hard gewerkt aan een IOS versie.Wanneer die er is weet ik niet. 🏍😉
@@TheOldMechanic Bedankt voor de zeer vlotte reactie. Mr.D out
Motoscan doesn’t work on Apple / iOS apparently. Android only.
Do you have a link or model type reference for purchasing your working 8.5 euro interface ? Thaks
It turned out that he didn't work properly with the pro version 🏍
@@TheOldMechanicin 2019 I also tested some cheap chinese interfaces. 1 out of 3 was only able to read apparently well.
No one can write. So I bought the recommended UnicarScan Ucsi2000. After three years maybe some new Chinese version got to work properly.
The motoscan ultimate version is necessary for the brake service to drain the ABS modulator. AND: All BMW bikes from 2002 till today are diposited. We show how it works on the LC series. Greetings from Germany, Bernd
Hi rightnow I am editing my new video. Its a show down, between the Motoscan app Ultimate, and the GS911. Ofcourse this is going to be a very in dept comparison between those two. I hope that you (all) going to like it. I did found a flaw in both of the interfaces..😉
In the video that I am now editing I am going to adres that too..! Soo stay tuned 🏍👍
@@TheOldMechanic Very good! Perhaps you also mention, witch connector MotoScan recomments. But your 10 € connector is very interesting, if it works!
Hi Bernd..IF.....it works..
On Amazon thr GS 911 cost 450.00 to high
Hallo Alte Mechaniker, wo finde ich das (Follow UP)?
Look at my playlist : BMW MotoScan TIPS, TRICKS & SECRETS 😉
Does it work on 2008 r1299rt
Hello, will this ELM 327 interface delete the kilometers service in the BMW S1000R?
Can you take off the rev limiter on the bike using the motoscan?
That's a really unintelligent thing to do on a BMW, they are already engineered within an inch of their life.
Only problem is that I have a iPhone and wouldn’t want to get another android phone just to use the motoscan…
An android tablet will work too 😉
Ik ga dit ook proberen op mijn 1200 GS van 2010, ik hou je op de hoogte
Hoi Ton, inmiddels heb ik zowel de motoscan Ultimate app, alsook de juiste OBDII interface. Ik heb daar een hele uitgebreide video van gemaakt, die ik nu aan het editten ben. Ik zou nog even wachten met het uitproberen. Die chinese OBDII interface kan namelijk geen lange commando's aan. Binnenkort kun je mijn video bekijken 😉
@@TheOldMechanic Okee dank je voor je update... Ik heb altijd 2 kleps boxer gereden en sinds sept heb ik ook een Gs van 2010 ... Je filmpjes helpen me goed om "erin te komen". Nogmaals dan..
Beste old Mechanic in uw aanbod via de linken Merk ik op dat er twee obd units zijn. Ze verschillen enorm in prijs. De vraag van mij is welke ik moet kopen om alles te kunnen met Motoscan voor een Apple. Ik hoor het graag, groet mervin
Helaas werkt de Motoscan app alleen voor Android
Mocht je bv een oude android foon hebben dan werkt de UCSI-2100 perfect. Ik ga daar binnenkort een video over maken 😉
Do it 😀
