Orange Helper vs Biketune

Orange Helper connects to your motorcycle's OBD-II port via an ELM327 Bluetooth BLE adapter and reads diagnostic data in real time – with fault detection, repair suggestions and live sensors, tailored to your orange motorcycle. Designed for Euro 4/5 models and newer (approx. 2017 onwards). ▸ READ FAULT CODES Read your motorcycle's fault memory (DTC), get clear descriptions in German and English, and clear codes after repair. The integrated database covers 69 fault codes with specific repair suggestions. ▸ 17 LIVE SENSORS Monitor RPM, speed, coolant temperature, throttle position, battery voltage, engine load, intake air temp, manifold pressure, timing advance, lambda, and more – in real time on your iPhone. ▸ RIDER DISPLAY Full-screen riding display with RPM bar, gear indicator and shift light. The tachometer shows 30 color-coded segments in real time – choose between bar, digital number, or both simultaneously. Two color styles: standard (green→yellow→orange→red) or racing (white with red warning zone). The gear indicator (BETA) calculates the current gear from RPM and speed using verified ratios from official owner's manuals – front and rear sprockets can be individually adjusted. The shift light warns with a pulsing overlay at a freely adjustable RPM threshold. Also includes: battery voltage, oil temperature, coolant temperature, throttle position and more sensors at a glance. All ride data is automatically recorded and can be exported as PDF. ▸ PDF EXPORT Export fault scans and data logs as PDF – choose dark app design or print-friendly light mode. Statistics with average, minimum and maximum plus charts with axis labels. Export individually or as a combined document. ▸ MOTORCYCLE PROFILES Select your model and get model-specific information: known issues, common weak points, and matching fault codes with repair suggestions for your motorcycle. ▸ FAULT DATABASE Browse all 69 fault codes or filter by your motorcycle. Each code includes category, severity rating and repair hints – works offline without an active connection. ▸ MORE FEATURES · Fully bilingual (German/English) · Adjustable font size · Portrait and landscape optimization · Demo mode to explore without adapter · Auto-reconnect on Bluetooth disconnect · All data stored locally on your iPhone – no account, no cloud required Note: Requires an ELM327 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) OBD-II adapter. Full functionality with Euro 4/5 models and newer (approx. 2017+). Older models: limited PID support. Proprietary protocols (e.g. ABS) are not accessible via standard OBD-II. Important: Orange Helper does not replace a visit to a qualified mechanic or professional diagnostics. All displayed data, fault codes and repair suggestions are provided without warranty. The rider display is not a substitute for your vehicle's instruments. Do not actively operate the app while riding – complete all setup before you ride. Orange Helper is an independent, private hobby project. All repair hints are based on publicly available sources and do not constitute professional advice. Use at your own risk.

Biketune turns your phone and an OBD-II adapter into a diagnostic tool for BMW motorcycles. Read fault codes, watch live data, reset the service reminder and change cluster settings, without a dealer visit. Reading is free. A one-time Pro unlock adds the write functions. No subscription needed for the diagnostic tools. FREE • Fault codes from the engine and instrument cluster, with a plain-language description. Share them as a report for your mechanic. • Live sensor values: engine speed, temperatures, throttle, battery voltage and more, in metric or imperial. • Programming info: VIN, control unit names and part numbers. • Service data: the next service date and distance stored in the cluster. • Tyre pressures and sensor status. • Garage with service and fault history for each bike. • Compatibility check: tests each feature on your bike and adapter before you buy. PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Service reset: set the next service date and distance, and the bike clock where the bike needs it. • Clear fault codes after a repair. • Coding: change cluster and accessory settings in plain language, such as display units, daytime running lights and tyre-pressure thresholds. Biketune backs up the coding before it writes. • Adaptations: read and reset learned values. • Guided procedures: ABS brake bleeding, throttle body sync, suspension and windscreen calibration and actuator tests, on bikes that have them. • Tyre-pressure sensor pairing. • Control units: fault codes, live data, coding and tests for every control unit on the bike. One purchase covers every bike in your garage. Apple Family Sharing is included. BIKETUNE ASSIST, OPTIONAL • Chat answers from the rider's manual for your exact model, with the page. • It reads fault codes and live values, and asks before it touches the bike. Monthly subscription, first week free. It renews automatically unless you cancel it in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. BIKES • BMW motorcycles from the pre-CAN K-line bikes to current models: S 1000 RR / R / XR, M 1000 R / RR, R 1200 / 1250 / 1300 GS and RT, R nineT, R 12, R 18, F 650 / 700 / 750 / 800 / 850 / 900, G 310, K 1200 / 1300 / 1600, the C and CE scooters, the air and oilhead boxers, and BMW-era Husqvarna. • Coding is not available on bikes with BMW Secure Coding 2.0, which includes the R 1300 range, the CE 02 and many 2025 models. • Other motorcycles with standard OBD-II over CAN get fault codes, live data and freeze frame. Look up your bike at biketune.app/bikes.html. ADAPTERS The adapter decides what works. • Coding and every feature: UniCarScan UCSI-2100, OBDLink CX, OBDLink MX+ or vLinker BM+. • Service reset, fault codes and live data: most Bluetooth LE adapters, such as the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+, Vgate iCar Pro and vLinker MC+. • Unbranded "v1.5" and "v2.1" clones often do not connect to BMW bikes. • Bikes with the round 10-pin socket need a 10-pin to 16-pin cable. The adapter guide is at biketune.app/compatibility.html. BEFORE YOU BUY Results depend on the bike and the adapter. Try Demo mode, then run the compatibility check on your own bike. PRIVACY Your garage, sessions and adapter logs stay on your phone. Diagnostic data reaches us only when you send a support report or use Assist. Assist sends your messages, photos and the bike data it reads to our server, and none of it is used to train models. No advertising SDKs and no cross-app tracking. The app needs an internet connection the first time you open it. After that, diagnostics work offline. Terms of Use: https://biketune.app/terms.html Biketune is not affiliated with BMW Motorrad. It is an independent diagnostic tool. Model and chassis names describe vehicle compatibility only. All trademarks belong to their owners.
