6WB Retrofit - Coding Required

I finally got around to installing my 6WB MFID Instrument Cluster. :D

Since mine was a brand new virgin Kombi, no EEPROM work was necessary to blank the donor car's mileage and VIN. Install was a breeze, and Coding was just a matter of adding 6WB to the VO, changing VO Production date to 1211, and VO Coding DKombi and HU_CIC.

Since my car does not have ECO Pro, I get just the Comfort and Sport mode displays.

Upgrading from the basic Kombi to either 6WA or 6WB is a dramatic improvement, and worth every penny. If I already had 6WA though, I personally would stick with it rather than invest in 6WB.

Remplace 6WA by 6WB questions

Hello Everyone,

Here I have some questions about the 6WB

My 2010 F01 has the following options: 6WA, Head Up Display, Lane Assist, Speed Display indication.

My questions are as follows, if I install the 6WB what are the problems ?

My Head up display will show it the same informations ?

thank you for return

Xavier :)

PM sent.

You need to Desolder EEPROM from motherboard in order to write new Data to it.

Once VIN and Mileage is blanked from EEPROM, you can install 6WB and Code it like any other ECU.

I buy brand new 6WB Kombi for $2000 USD so I did not have to worry about EEPROM. :D

I haven't found a tread dealing with this specific topic, so this is a little off topic but it seems like this best place to ask this question. I'm looking at a 2011 that was originally a Canadian car and has the metric gauges. I gather that you can't just swap the gauge cluster for another gauge cluster of the same type, you have to wipe the EPROM and recode with you car's info. Not knowing the construction of this cluster this might not be possible but could one just swap the entire circuit board if going from one 6WA to another? If not what would one need to do to make the swap from metric to imperial gauges?
