I got the unit paired with my Samsung phone but can't get it hooked up to the bike. I'm using the OBDLink app.

Lol...oh, the horror! Android 5.0.2 was released in ...
...2014...no longer supported after Dec 2020.A VERY important note if you go looking for info on the app...there are actually TWO different apps out there called "Motoscan". The first, "Moto-scan" (www.moto-scan.com) is an inventory control app and is NOT what you want here.
"OUR" Motoscan is located at:
MotoScan – App für professionelle BMW Motorrad Diagnose
the .de is a Germany designator, where the developer is from. When you open that site up, it defaults to German but up at the top right is a button to change the language to English. On the upper left, there's a button to take you to all kinds of info.
I went through the FAQs to see if there were any Android version limitations and didn't see the issue addressed. If I were you, I would send an email to their "support" and ask that very question. From past experience, the developer is pretty good about replying back. Also a wealth of additional information on their site.

the obdlink app does not support bmw bikes or maybe any bikes. works fine on my gmc yukon you need the motoscan app that will connect the obdlink mx device to your bike. got this info direct from the obd support tech.
Correct...while I have the OBDLink app on my phone (to tie in with the Torq app for my truck), the app has nothing to do with the bike. You do, however, need the physical OBD LX reader/"dongle"/adapter (or similar) to let the bike communicate to the Motoscan app itself...

OK, got my OBD Link LX OBD2 Diagnostic Tool . Got the 16-pin to 10-pin adapter cable. Loaded Motoscan on my old Android phone running Android 5.0.2. I connected the tool to my 2014 R1200GS diagnostic port next to the battery. I turned off Wi-Fi as this interferes with the Bluetooth connection. I paired the tool with the phone via the Bluetooth connection page. I opened Motoscan and connected it to the Diagnostic Tool. I tested the connection, selecting my motorcycle model. I turned on Wi-Fi on the phone and purchased the Professional Version. I closed the application, re-opened it, used it to connect to the tool on the motorcycle, went to Service Reminder and successfully reset it! All tolled, $136.77 including Colorado sales tax. I got the unit on Amazon.com, the cable on E-bay, and the software from the Google Play store.

2015 1200GS - I've asked this question elsewhere on the Forum with no answers yet. This is the most up to date on this question/issue, so I'll start here.
I have a GS911 adapter cable (Amazon) and several ELM interfaces (OBD2). When plugged in, with the ignition on, but engine not running I get a green light on the interface, but no communication with a motorcycle. MotorScan shows the device is there, but when I select ABS, it gives me a no device connected message. I contacted MotoScan and they suggested a couple of interfaces including the OBDlink LX. I hate to go out and buy another interface at $90 if one of my other systems will work. What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone have success with other scanners? Am I doing something wrong?
I have noted that the actual cable can be miss wired with the "K" line in the wrong spot. what is the correct configuration for the gs911?

According to the MotoScan site, the ELM interfaces are limited in ability to be used.
Diagnostic adapter for BMW motorcycles - MotoScan - you might have to switch languages. I'm using an OBDLink MX+, although I've not had much time to really use it. I've found, however, that I can get into most of the modules successfully.
You're probably going to need to try another interface. Too many of the ELM units have too many problems.

Motoscan users, I learnt the long way, below is faq from support on "Cannot connect to control Unit" , Using obd2linkLX, on pixel6, it works.
You need the bike running !!
www.motoscan.de
This helped on the basics on using the app itself.

the motoscan app never prompted me to "accept" the connection with my OBDlink LX on initial setup. I had to manually select the OBD adaptor in the motoscan app settings (settings/communication/bluetooth device) before it connected properly. I assumed it would auto connect (which it didn't) after the adaptor was paired with my phone.
