Looks AmAzing!!!!! Cost?

Thanks. It's about $2k for a new one. I got mine from an overseas BMW Dealer, but you can get it from Bimmer-Tech:

Hi Shawn, I order new 6wb claser and can I codin my self? With e-sys? Or have any instructions, best regards

 

Yes, you can code it with E-Sys. If it is new and not used, you can do just as I wrote in my original post, which is add 6WB to the VO, change VO Production date to 1211, and VO Code DKombi and HU_CIC.

 

Yes its new, my car updated until 48.3 psdzdata, I have to update all ecu or . Must use e-Sys last version with 50.4 v

 

48.3 was used though March 2013, so it should be fine.

 

thanks so much...)))

 

Hi shawn,
I also installed the 6WB MFID Instrument Cluster.
But after FA coding, there is no cafd in DKOMBI at the SVT area.
So, I can not code DKOMBI module...

All I have done is as follows.
1) Connect E-Sys and Read FA from car at the Coding Function in Expert mode.
2) Save FA and Edit FA
3) Add 6WB to SALAPA and calculate FP with no error.
4) Save FA
5) Select Expert mode, VCM function and select FA.xml file at the Vehcle Order.
6) Select the VCM Master tab and click the Write FA FP button.
7) Select Coding function and read FA and Activate FA and Read SVT.

My cluster get error it should be updated when ignition on.
The Tachometer and speedometer does not respond when engine on.

I am very glad if you give me some advice...

 

You need to try and inject CAFD into Kombi ECU:

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Left-Click on DKombi => Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level => Select OK => Right-Click on DKombi (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

 

Sorry, I forgot to attach the screen shot...

This is the E-Sys SVT screen with no cafd in DKOMBI module.

I coded the FA according to the instruction from this post.

But I got an message like this which was not described at this instruction and I clicked yes.

I wonder this is why my DKOMBI has no cafd...

 

That message is normal. SInce you modified the FA, E-sys need to reload it.

 

Thank you for replying!
I understand the message is normal.
There may be other reason why the DKOMBI has no cafd after FA coding...
Please someone give me a help!!!

 

This does look absolutely amazing. Have a 2014 LCI on the wa and the 6WA looks nice but damn the 6WB is amazing.

I would imagine swapping these would void the warranty? I would consider selling my 6WA and getting 6WB - assuming I could sell the 6WA and they could reset the data easily.

Edit: Thinking about it more and I have the HUD so I doubt I will be looking away from that much.

Here is a nice comparison of the three clusters.

It will not void warranty. It is OEM part designed for your chassis.

And you will not want to sell your 6WA. If you retrofit 6WB, you will need to swap 6WA back in for any dealer service that involves ISTA/P programming.

I retrofitted mine, and its no big deal. I can swap clusters in under 5 minutes.

 

Shawn..

Is it just swapping the cluster and VO Coding the Kombi enough?

As i understood, the best is to use a NEW one. Due to the mileage which is already on the cluster, right?

Thx

 

If it is new, then yes. Install Kombi, inject CAFD, and Code.

 

and if I use a used one?

 

Then you need to first also blank VIN and Mileage in EEPROM with an EEPROM Programmer, and then Flash Kombi to write car VIN to it.

 

do you know if a dealer is able to do it? Do the have the equipment?
thx Shawn

 

No, they wont do it. Dealers will only do official BMW retrofits, and there is no official 6WB retrofit. And even if they could, they would NEVER do it with a used module.

 

From what you have seen is the mileage stored elsewhere in the car? Just curious as to what would stop folks from flashing the cluster to reset mileage. Of course it is illegal, however, I would think that there would be somewhere else more secure that this data would be stored.

 

Yes. It is stored in CAS, and whichever one, Kombi or CAS has higher mileage in it, it pushes the higher mileage to the other one.

 

can i then use a cluster which has less mileage then mine, and get it flashed from my dealer with my VO? (the xml file)?

 

You should get a used cluster with less mileage if at all posssible. However, doing so doesn't change anything with the Dealer. They are not going to touch a Kombi retrofit, new or used, and if used, regardless of mileage.

 

Shawn, would you know why the 6WB is showing that service is past due and needs break fluid and oil change but the 6WA isn't. The car was just in service with 6WA installed, when I got it back I put 6WB back in but now it's saying I need service again. I don't really care, but the issue is that it's sending a signal to the dealership telling them I need service.

 

The CBS records didn't update after 6WB went back in car. I am not sure why. Did you try VO Coding it again?

 

I just vo coded it with a 11/13 fa date so that I could get the m sport edition hp reading in sport mode, and that seemed to take away the service request. I will flash kombi tomorrow though so that it's all on the same version.

 

Can you post a picture of the new hp reading?

 

i took a picture of it after i found it and tested it:

View attachment 411368

but i can't find where i wrote the fdl name down, so i will have to go back and figure it out again.

i will do it tonight or tomorrow and will post back.

I went back and tested this, and the FDL Code is MOTORLEISTUNG_ENABLE = aktiv to enable it. The meter scale units can be changed from kW to HP from the iDrive Settings menu:

Even when I changed it to HP, it still showed a digital readout of 80, unlike this picture below that is showing 480:

In all cases, it does not appear to be working because it is always maxed out with little or zero RPM's.

i will also be looking for fdl code for the digital speed speed display inside the comfort / comfort+ mode as seen here above the needle base:

View attachment 411371

The code for this one is DIGITAL_TACHO_ENABLE:

It can be set for either mph or kmh and is independent of the main speedometer's unit of measure as shown in the picture with the main speedometer in mph, and the digital speed in kmh.

It is a nice addition to the Comfort / Comfort+ display, but redundant on the Sport / Sport+ display.

 

Sport Mode: Power meter at RPM's gauge lower section

Hi Shawn,

Regarding the power meter in Sport Mode at the Rpm's gauge lower section, I've been able to activate (through setting MOTORLEISTUNG_ENABLE = aktiv) but, same as described in your post, it doesn't become functional. In addition to this, the kW value displayed (80 kW) does not correspond to my real motor power available (135 kW in my case).:dunno:

Were you able to achieve any improvement at this respect?, I mean, making it active by showing same live data as in the NBT displays for Power (SPA_SPORT_ENABLE) and configuring as well the correct maximum Power level at the meter? Any further indication and help from your side will be more than welcome, as this seems to be an amazing feature.:clap:

By the way, thanks for your support, 6WB retrofit became really easy and as of today 100% functional. :thumbup: Of course trying to improve it a bit as well with amazing additional features as indicated above.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

 

It works for me on 51.1 but it's engine dependent. It should work with whatever engines allow you to have the power and torque meter on the idrive screen. It does show 0-480, I misread it the first time around I thought the 8 was a 0.

 

Hi shown. If you can't make your 6wb how we can make our kombi coding :-( which one you have problem exactly

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking here. :dunno:

 

The digital speed is called bc speed, or something like that. Not by a computer right now

 

No. This is different.

BC_DIGITAL_V enables the Digital Speed in the BC Cluster, controlled by the BC Stalk. I already have that FDL Coded and working fine.

The digital speed I am talking about is displayed inside the Speedometer Gauge at the base of the needle; not the BC Cluster.

 

I do think the meter scale is dependent on certain engines, but it also didn't work for me when I accidentally fdl coded it on 50.3. It showed the same thing you are getting now. When I added the msport edition vo code and changed to a newer date on 51.1it then worked by vo coding.

I didn't know what the fdl code was so I didn't try to fdl code it on 51.1.

Actually now that I think about it, my kombi is still on 50.3. The rest of my car is on 51.1. I still haven't gotten a chance to flash my 6wb yet.

 

Hello.
6wb retrofit was carried out.

Hi kinko..

Did you solved your problem with navi guidance? I retrofitted 6WB for couple months ago but discovered today while using navi that I'm missing guidance on kombi?!

 

Did you code CIC to tell it car has new Kombi High?

 

Yes. It carried out. It is normal except the Navi guidance. If there is a code on which the Navi guidance is displayed, please let me know.

 

Not that I know of.

 

Or [ having made the mistake in the CIC code ]? The CIC code was changed how?

 

Sorry, I do not understand your question.

 

I'm sorry.
What is the code of coding of HU_ClC?

 

It needs to match your actual Kombi:
