Is there a specific 6wb cluster for vehicles w/o hud? I just purchased one used that came out of a donor vehicle with hud.

Will this work in my 16 f15 w/o hud?

Thanks

Yes!! There is 6WB with HSD connector to HUD and other without!!

But you can use the one with HUD connector on you F15 w/o HUD!!!
I don't have HUD and i installed 6wb with HUD connector!

Good luck

Thanks, that's great news. Did u code yourself? I'm going to need to find out the coding info

HI,

informations for coding are here to find.
What kombi has you installed now and when was you car found?

Hello.

I am very new to this Forum so be kind

I have a F01 2012. I ordered a used 6WB with lower millage than mine. Instead of buying a R270, my dad can replace the EEPROM chip as he works with circuit boards. If we replace the chip, what is needed to complete the install. I have working E-sys 3.26.1. Does the unit need to be flashed before final coding ?

Thanks

HI,

erase the VIN of the EEPROM and then install the cluster and code your car with 6WB in VO, if you have 6WA cluster before, remove 6WA from VO.

Thanks very much. We have decided to use R270 instead. Is the flash and code process the same as the 6WA unit?

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

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.

Hello

Looks great. I have a used 6wb and I will use R270 to erase both VINs. In order to code it to the car, is it the same process as you, or is extra coding needed. Upgrading from a 6WA.

Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have a problem while retrofitting 6WB into F10 with 0510 build date.
The cluster was used, but reseted and no problem with coding or small red dots.
Everything is working perfect except gear indication. On the cluster there are no P-R-N-D etc. And also the car has no selector for sport, comfort modes...:bawling: Will retrofit in the next step. So the 6wb think, that the transmission is manual and no gear indication at all...:dunno:
But drives fine...

Hello. I know it was a while back but do you have a guide on how you did it? I have a used unit and working E-sys I just do not know what to do after the VINs are erased. Finding information on this tricky.

Thanks

Mine was Virgin, so I did not need to do any EEPROM work.

The process for 6WB is same as described here for 6WA:

Thank you very much. Is deleting the VIN exactly the same as well or is it different. What about if I load a Virginia Kombi bin file will that same me having to manually FF stuff? Cheers.

Should be the same. Virgin Bin will avoid blanking VIN and mileage.

Ah that would be good. Do you by any chance have a Virgin Bin?

Cheers.

Thanks Shawn means a lot!

Does this mean my used 6WB after the bin file has been put onto the EEPROM, it will act as a new kombi? or will flashing the same as the 6wa still needed? Thanks

It will be like new. If you can inject CAFD into it, then you can just code it. If you can't inject CAFD, then you must flash it.

Great!! Thanks so much, will hopefully get R270 through next week (if China hurry up!)

Have a good weekend.

Hi guys
I'm trying to retrofit a 6WB on a F10, first I cleared 2 short and one long VIN On 160xxx chip to FFs and one short on 95xxx chip to FFs.. Then coded to the car by injecting cafd and code..
Now I need to flash it to fix the red tumper dot but with no success!!
I believe the 6wb already have the latest SW!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/l9r5ydfqzesmnc1/Skärmklipp 2015-12-07 23.56.23.png?dl=0

And I have the HWAP with 255_255..?

Any idea?

 

[1aBimmer]

Update:
Now I opened the 6wb again and read from both chips (160xx & 35xxx) and surprised found my VIN on both of them!! Two short and one long on the 160xxx chip and one short VIN on the 35xxx!!!
Even though I couldn't flash the kombi

But still have the red tumper dot!!

 

[mcrussell]

Flashing not needed, change all vin entries then code, then read EEPROMs again, you will find vin has reverted back, change again then dot should be gone
