Has anyone tried one of these Chinese knockoff GS-911s?

Looking for Aftermarket parts and Accessories for your BMW R1200RT/R1250RT or found something useful you want to share? Or just a general question?

Found these on ebay.

They appear to be knockoffs of the Hexcode product. Has anyone tried one? About 1/2 the price of the originals.

Looking at the negative feedback on ebay, I would stay far away from this thing. One of the problems with buying directly from Chinese is that if there is a problem, resolution can be very difficult because of language barrier.

I have an original GS911, not sure I'd be happy using software that was 8 years out of date. They've added many features, tweaks and updates since.

If you buy direct and import into UK you have to pay VAT and a customs handling fee. Think I would buy the real thing.
