Other than checking for error codes and resetting service lights, what else can you do with it? Can you make changes to things on the TFT or make the brake light flash for braking?

You can cycle the abs pump when changing brake fluid. There is no changing of settings that I know of. I've been using one for a few years now.

What tool can we use to make changes to some of the electronics on the bike? For instance, blinking the brake light. Am I asking more about HEX ezCAN?

To my knowledge only your authorized BMW dealer might be able to do that. I know of no after-market tool available to the owner that can alter the basic electronics on a BMW.

I see from watching Scotty Kilmer on YouTube that there are lots of OBD-II readers. Some of them allow adjustments. The 1250 has the standard port. The 1200 had the OBD-I port so you need the adapter cable.

They are cheap, generally. It may be their makers distribute the vehicle data via the 'Net and include bikes as well as data for non-USA locations.

At the price of the cheapest ones it would be good if a member bought one and had a look. If it does not work on the RS it would work on his car or truck in the USA.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

I agree. US dealers probably are not allowed to turn on this feature.

Since the GS911 is being discussed here I throw in my question. I'm getting ready to buy one. They're easy to track down at retail. Does anyone know of any deals on them right now? Even 10% would take some of the sting out of buying one.

Add a Clearwater Billy light and you�ve got your blinking tail light.

Hexcode had a good discount a few months ago, but I don't know of any sales now.

Can anyone tell me which model 911 I need for my 2016? I know in '17 they changed it? I have a lead on a good priced one and want to jump on it.

It looks like a build date of 2012 USB /BT model.

The yellow one will not work for you.

You need one of the red ones.

If you buy one with the rectangle connector you can buy a adapter cable.
