About this app

MotoScan provides a professional diagnostic for most current BMW motorcycles using a OBDLink LX/MX, UniCarScan UCSI-2000 or ELM327(with restrictions) diagnostic adapter. Please tell us your impressions, suggestions and wishes: [e-mail]

+++ Information Source +++

For extensive information about the app, see https://www.motoscan.de

The full version can be purchased directly from the App. Please check before buying the functions on your motorcycle with the Lite version of the app. In the Lite app you can fully test, however, the display of the data is very limited and it is not possible to run most service functions.


+++ Functions +++

Functions differs depending on the bike model and equipment. Likewise, the scope of individual control devices is different. The app is constantly under development and number of functions grows with every update.

The following functions are available *:
- Identification of the control unit
- Read and clear the trouble codes
- Read Freeze Frames
- Real-time data (sensor parameters, input and output signals)
- Actuators control
- Service interval reset
- ECU coding
- Read and reset adaptations

*Functions on the control unit and degree of development of the app depends. Not all controllers have all the above-mentioned functions. In order to accelerate the development, please send us the log files.

+++ Required hardware +++

Most ELM327 adapters support the diagnostic on BMW motorcycles, but there are also bad China Clones that do not support all commands. For these purposes, a test function in the app have integrated, that it allows to check the adapter for suitability and indicates whether the diagnostic adapter for K-Line and CAN bus motorcycles is suitable. The OBDLink LX and MX adapters are basically suitable for all BMW motorcycles with K-Line and CAN Bus (Latest Firmware update 4.1.x required. Contact us to get it).

The second component is a 16/10 pin adapter cable is required. Available at:

Ratings and reviews

Like other reviewers have stated, it's amazing how popular you become when your fellow BMW riders find out you can reset their service reminder! I've also used the ABS brake cycling function and it works great. Bought the ultimate version which was probably more than I needed but have had no issues to date. Wish there was an instruction manual describing the many functions this software is capable of and how to use it. I'd gladly pay a fee for that option.

The 'Lite version has limited functionality but if you upgrade to the professional version you then have an app that allows you to reset service light, read and clear fault codes and do actuator tests and more. The support is excellent. Very happy with my purchase. You will of course need to buy an interface to plug into the diagnostic plug on your vehicle.

This app is worth the price. I use the ultimate version to service and tinker with my bike. It's helped me make some major upgrades that even BMW themselves wouldn't have been able to do for me. It would be great to have a manual for all the functions. Some of the options can only be understood through trial and error which seems a bit risky. Apart from that I love that someone has made a tool that's affordable and in some ways more featured than the gs911.
