6WA retrofit KOMBI
Hello I'm going to buy a extended information cluster for a good price. 6WA option
The seller told me that the mileage is not stored in the kombi, and he tell me that this data is taken from the car.
This KOMBI has 13k Kilometers and mine has 38k.
Could I retrofit it without the help of the dealer? Only with my enet cable.
Where is the immobility device? Inside cluster like VAG's?
Shawn any advice?
My car has actuality the daten 47,5 and I have in the HUD the multimedia and telephone information.
Could I upgrade this KOMBI once installed to enable this features?
Any time I will go to the dealer I will need to instal my old Kombi and after change again?
Thanks in advance to all for the help.

I am wondering the same thing. Based on info I have read, I don't believe any mileage is stored in the display.
Could you send me this information?I am wondering the same thing. Based on info I have read, I don't believe any mileage is stored in the display.

The OP wants to go from the basic Instrument Cluster to 6WA, not from 6WA to 6WB.hello, it seems wiring is completely different for S6WB (optical fibre)

BimmerTech though has come to market with their official 6WB Retrofit for those interested, and it can be retrofitted with or without 6WA/HUD:

It is $2k USD.
Yes, my advice is that if you can get a 6WA Instrument Cluster cheap, do it. If you have to pay full price, go with 6WB.Hello I'm going to buy a extended information cluster for a good price. 6WA option

Based on what I know about BimmerTech's 6WB Retrofit, which I am pretty sure the same also applies to going from the Basic Instrument Cluster to 6WA:
* It would need some coding (Presumably 6WA in VO, and VO Code KOMBI and HU_CIC - If Pre 03/2011 build, the Production Date would need to be changed) - E-Sys and ENET Cable is all that is needed.
* If you car currently does not have Eco PRO or Sport Modes, those displays will not appear
* The mileage will be identical to the your original unit
* You can swap units and the units will always show the correct mileage
* You need to swap the units before you go to your dealer for a service that requires a software update
* It is a 5 min job to change Instrument Clusters
As for the Entertainment List, Incoming and Outgoing Calls, Recent Call List, and Voice Recognition, if you have 6WA KOMBI with 47.x or higher firmware on it, you should get those features in your HUD after coding them.
NOTE: This assumes a Brand New never used KOMBI. A used KOMBI will have original car's VIN programmed in it, and I do not know how to change it, so this will be a problem and the mileage will not update.
@mateforrest
Did you swap your units already?

Hello yreiser,@mateforrest
Did you swap your units already?
I still don´t have the new instrument cluster, is on the way.
I hope i will do the swap next weekend.
Don´t worry i will give further information.
Did you order a new one or do you plan to install a used one?Hello yreiser,

He bought a used 6WA KOMBI.Did you order a new one or do you plan to install a used one?
I got it.He bought a used 6WA KOMBI.
I will inform when i have the retrofit made.
Shawn i just email you.

Yes, I replied.Shawn i just email you.

Yes, you can't code it because it does not recognize the VIN. That is why it is showing yyyyyyy as the VIN.
The EEPROM needs your VIN written to it.
I have an error to get CAFs for SWE.
Please take a look.

So what happens when you try this:I have an error to get CAFs for SWE.

Connect => Read FA => Activate FA => Read VCM => Left-Click on KOMBI => Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD matching your I-Level => Select OK => Right-Click on KOMBI (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.
To determine your I-Level, go to VCM Module => VCM Master Tab => click Read under I-Steps. The I-Step (current) is the one you want to match when you select the CAFD from the "Detect CAF for SWE" options (e.g. F001-08-09-550).
Ok let me try.So what happens when you try this:

Yes, you may have a read error. I think though the CAFD that is there is wrong, and needs to be changed, so what I am trying to do is identify the right CAFD, inject it into KOMBI and VO code it.Ok let me try.

Oh, which brings up another point. Make sure the VO you use has 6WA added to it.
