From Berlin, where all our GS's have been born. You made my decision sir! Looked for a tool to bleed the brakesystem and troubleshoot the bike. Great video as always! Greets from another old mechanic! A few days later... Bought the UCSI-2100, the adaptor harness and the ultimate license. I paid 144€ for all. Checked it out and it worked from the beginning. Had an I-ABS issue with brakebooster, the rear circle pump ran all the time. Cleared the failure, ignition off and back on ... tadaa, mission completed. But i will replace that system by the wcs automotive replacement kit anyway. I never trust my current system again. Thanks again sir!
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!
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.
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 , 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
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
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?
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 🙏
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!
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
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
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
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
@@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!
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.
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 😉
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
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?
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.
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?
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?
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 !
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Bought a ELM 327 off amazon UK from this recommendation but didn't work as video suggests, looks like there's a few fakes of this unit being sold so 'buyer beware'
@@harycz12 I bought the ELM327 wifi version, but the Moto Scan App can't find the scanner when I go to the adapter's diagnostic menu. I see that it only identifies the battery voltage in this Lite version. I'm thinking about buying the professional version and seeing if it works.
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 ?
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?
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. 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
@@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.
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
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?
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.
I’d much rather have the real deal. Why purchase a BMW motorcycle and then risk going cheap on something that plugs into the brain of your precious expensive motorcycle?
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
