Will the K1600 ever be supported?

« Back to Table of Contents

Yes, however not with any of our current GS-911 hardware

The 3rd Generation Diagnostics of BMW is significantly different from what all the models have had in the past.  Their new generation, starting with the K48 (K1600GT/GTL) is NOT backward compatible, and uses completely different physical layer (physical signals, protocols and pinouts) for its diagnostics. 

Generations of Diagnostic tools for BMW Motorrad:

  • Generation 1: MoDiTeC (1997-2003)
  • Generation 2: GT1/Komet (2004-2010)
  • Generation 3: MOSS/ISTA (2011+)

 

The motorcycles with Generation 3 Diagnostics will require a new generation of GS-911...  Our next generation is something that we've been developing behind the scenes for quite some time (however no fixed ETA available yet, as there is still a mountain of work to do on the new protocols!)

Update: Q2 2012: Nine months after the order, we are about to receive our K1600GT ...Super-excited! ...Let the fun begin!!!

There is obviously a LOT of work to do.. and new hardware... so don't expect miracles (just yet) ;-)
