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: [email protected]

+++ 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:

Brilliant for what I need on a 2008 R1200GS. There was some oddity with the ESA calibration that appeared to go away if I simply went to (but did not perform) the fuel strip/sensor calibration first. I can't say if it's lacking anything compared to the alternative(s); but for what it cost, it's great. As an aside , nothing to do with the app, it can be a bit of a fiddle to attach the connector to the bike; I always have to peer at the pin pattern in the socket and plug.

Free 'lite' version won't perform service reset. App says option not available on lite version but gives no option to upgrade. Why not have a link in the pop up that's says click here to upgrade? The other issue is that the app wouldn't connect to the OBDlink LX without using the OBDLink app to establish a connection first. The overall experience was pretty frustrating. Having a whinge about getting a low rating because the app is clunky and not intuitive isn't going to change my thoughts on it.

Because many people find it annoying when they receive a request to purchase. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone. So this is the ideal compromise. You deduct all the rating points because you don't like the position of a button and ignore all the useful features of the app. That's also not right. Is it? And wrong. OBDLink should not be used.

Different cables = addeded functionality. I had previously, using a third party (Amazon) generic cable then borrowed a Motoscan cable from a buddy. Menu items not previously Unattainable using the MotoScan proprietary cable. This isn't a bogus review as this app saved me substantial dollars. What the dealership would have charged to simply look at the display to confirm indeed I had an issue, then get butt jacked for clearing a few code. One thing about the app whetranslated to english on your
