Hi, I have a F11 530d build 0910
I have just retrofitted a 6WB. I used a build date 1211 for VO code and everything seems to work perfect.
I tried to update the firmware of the 6WB but without success, I would like to have the HUD incoming call and entertainment list working.

My original I Step data:
I Step current : F010-14-11-501
I Step Ship : F010-10-09-522

During flash process, it comes out doing nothing.

----------------------------------------
TAL execution started.
VCM Update: VCM-Update is deactivated. VCM will not be updated. [C197]
ExecutionID=2014/11/02-16:22:13.092

TAL execution finished. Duration: "1s". [C206]
MSM update: Read current SVT. [C194]

----------------------------------------

Can anybody tell me witch I step Ship date that I should choose?
Is it possible to see the current firmware version of the 6WB?

My SVT for the DKOMBI looks like this

Assuming you are getting a "SVK-Ist does not match expected SGBMIDs for ecu..." means you have chosen an improper I-Step Shipment when you made your SVT Target (SVT_soll). The problem is that this ECU is used. So it came from car with a different I-Step Shipment then your car's actual I-Step Shipment, and you have no way of knowing what the right I-Step Shipment is for this used ECU.

So, redo flash, but this time after you calculate SVT Target (SVT_soll), check the box that says "HW-IDs from SVTactual" and then Save it.

If it still does not work, the only thing you can do is try different I-Step Shipment dates until hopefully one works. This is simply Trial and Error.

 

Thanks for your answer Shawn.
The 6WB was a new virgin kombi. I injected the CAFD into it and VO coded with build date 1211
What "I step ship" did you use when you installed your instrument?

 

I didn't flash mine. I just injected CAFD and VO Coded it, and left it like that. I will flash soon with 54.x though.

Did you try flashing it with the check the box that says "HW-IDs from SVTactual"?

 

No, it is late in Denmark now. I will try it tomorrow and let you know.

 

Did anyone try to retrofit 6WB in F10 M5? we try to do one but the M button and all sport mode will not work after the retrofit.
I guess the 6WB can't install on M car? because the M car does not have those mode selection (comfort, sports...ect, only has those mode change individually on suspension, steering wheel, edc..etc)
Can someone please confirm?
At moment, it looks like that cluster think it is in a normal F10 car rather than M car, so I guess maybe the 6WB cluster is not for M car at all?

Hello!

I never tried it with my M5 and I'm sure that it would not work. This SA is not specified for a M5 and should cause more problems than the new look could bring for me.

It's hard enough to retrofit a 6WB into a normal F10/F11/F07.

On ///M car, FDS signal comes from DME, and not ICM, and Gear position comes from DKG instead of EGS, so Gear Display and FDS Display's would not work. And without ///M Kombi, the M1 and M2 buttons on steering wheel would not work.

 

So those sport, sport+... wiew mode would not work either then?
Damm

 

What is HU_XXX => KOMBI_CIC set for?

 

I'll check tomorrow!

Thanks man for fast reply!!

 

That is correct for 6WB. I don't know what is going on then.

 

In latest CAFD exists possibility to vary the tachometer scale with 300 or 330 kph, but it doesn't work.
I think that will be activated in the future or never, I'll try to see if there is to change other voices.

 

Thanks Shawn. May you please send me the 6WB bin file as well.

 

PM sent.

 

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...

 

Did you change build date in FA when you VO Coded Kombi?

Try Zeitkriterium=1211.

 

Change it to 1211 and VO Code only 6WB.

thank you for your reply.
Will try tomorrow. So VO code only bkombi?

 

thank you for your reply.
Will try tomorrow. So VO code only bkombi?

Yes, but for 6WB, you mean DKombi, not BKombi.

 

Was someone able to make 6WB working with M5/6 or Alpina B5/D5 speed tacho?
The CAFD has 300 km/h (for Alpina) and 330 km/h (for M5/M6)!

 

I was try to CODE FDL with 300 and 330 but still have 260 with M5 FA too .. may be M5 6WB sw is different , keep your 6WA , 6WB is not a big deal for money that costs if you have 6WA :thumbup:

 

Hello!

I have the 6WA in my M5 and sometime I have the idea to retrofit a 6WB inside, nut only sometimes. Used 6WB are really expensive and the risk that it will not work is too high in my eyes. A M5 has no FDS and a DKG inside so the datas the 6WB will expect could not be given from the car. If I would get a 6WB to test it, I would do it. But at the moment I have only 6WA here, no 6WBs.

CU Oliver

 

You replaced ///M Kombi with 6WA in your M5?

 

Hello!

The M5 cluster is also a 6WA, only modificated for a M5. So if I talk about a 6WA in my M5 I mean the M5 cluster.

CU Oliver

 

Modified as in firmware only, or is hardware different?

 

Hello!

Mofified in hardware and software. The speedometer ends f.e.at 330 km/h. The displayed infos are also different (bigger digital tacho, settings on the right side a.s.o.), but the basis is the same.

When you open a M5 cluster to desolder the 160DOWQ to delete the short and long VIN and to erase the odometer, you will see no differences. The layouts of the boards are the same.

CU Oliver

 

Hello!

In two hours I have a remote session with a 640d driver. He installed a M6 cluster in his car (I deleted it before) and now we try to code it. He got a chiptuning for his car without the speed limiter and now he wants to see how fast the car can run. The same situation as yours.

CU Oliver

 

@milkiway, might you post snapshots for this M6 cluster working? I would like to see how informations are shown (errors, D, gear number, normal/sport/sport+ mode, ecc.).

 

Hello!

I will ask him for photos. I'll do the codings with TeamViewer so I have no direct visible access to the car/cluster.

CU Oliver

 

Hello!

As promised a short report from the installation of the M6 cluster into a 640d. This thread is about 6WB so I wrote it into the old thread "F10 Retrofit M5 cluster in 535i".

hello

just quick question
Is it possible to fit 6WB with factory Head up option to car without it?
I can buy cheap 6WB but its from car which had Head up my F01 hasn't got that stuff

thanks

as I understand it you have no HUD ?
so you can buy with or without

 

Ain't got HUD in my car but 6WB is from car with HUD
as far I know there is some changes between clusters

 

No significant difference, go safely
