okie dokie cheers for info
do you have any probs after retrofit?something not working correctly etc?? problems with odometer etc like Milkyway mentioned???

 

For me 100% working, obstacles can happen

 

great cheers

 

Hello Shawn , could you please send me the bin file for 6wb
Thank you

Hello Shawn , could you please send me the bin file for 6wb
Thank you

 

I have installed in my car without any blanking of EEPROM , cluster is used but with low KM then my . Just code it with your FA with 6WB and option added , zeitcriterium 1112 and if you have already 6WA remove it from SALAPA element , this work 100% ... for the red dot i have it too on my car but after 10 ignition cicles is and may be 1 hour is disapear . After that i have read EEPROM and only my short VIN is in cluster , try this first before opening , desoldering ....
BTW i have other problem , i am not able to change KM scala to 330km even with virgin dump and with modified FA with other production code like M550d , M5 ... And how to make it always in day mode like old good 6WA ?

 

double post

 

It seems science fiction...

 

Hello!

Sounds really like science fiction that a 6WB will inject the long and short VIN automatically after ten times without manipulating the eeprom.

By me vin is injected after first CAFD with my FA , i dont see long vin in eeprom of my 6WA

 

Search for FPK , 6WB and MFID in CIC may be its there , i have previous retrofit NBT and dont try with CIC but in my car and after 6WB retrofit i have same problem and this solve problem with arrows in 6WB . There is some settings in HU that tells what cluster you have ! In DKOMBI also have setting for what HU you have ( CIC or NBT ) search in CAFD !

 

I save my Ncd files for DKOMBI and HU_CIC..
Then searched through them for FPK, 6WB & MFID but couldn't find anything

 

dou you have funktion MICROMAP_KOMBI in your CIC Cafd ?

 

Well , 1aBimmer
search for NAVI_NBT_ENABLE in your DKOMBI and set it to kein_nbt then i hope this solve your problem
And if you still have a problem try to change NAVICOLOR_TABLE to alte_farbtabelle

 

Well , 1aBimmer
search for NAVI_NBT_ENABLE in your DKOMBI and set it to kein_nbt then i hope this solve your problem

Yessssss!!

Ac_schnitzer and Shawn.. This option solved my navi issue! Thank you very much!!

Today i am so happy too , my new steering arrive and now is on the car - BIG difference in inerior . I have some problems with shift paddles because may be 2014 SZL reads signal from them on different way but now its ok .
Excuse me for offtopic

 

I have skimmed through the thread a bit but didn't read it all. I currently have a 6wb retrofitted into my 650, I am now looking to get an alpina b6, and I don't really care for the blue 6wa it comes with. Could I code my current 6wb in the new alpina? Or is there going to be a problem because there is already mileage on the 6wb?

 

Hi..

If the milage in alpina b6 is higher than 650 then the 6wb will get the higher milage as soon as install it and code it in alpina! Then it's relatively easy.. Before you do it you have to open 6wb and program alpinas short VIN into it.

But if alpina have lower milage then 650 then it's more complicated!! You have to write FFs into the first 32bit to zero milage and that's I really hard to get to work but not impossible!! In this case don't invest on a cheap programmer!!

God luck

 

R270 chinese crap will do the job perfect on 080DWQ
BTW i roll back more than 20 f series with old CAS with this crap without any problems ever !

 

I dont shure that only Alpina short VIN stored in Kombi will do the job . After coding to FA this VIN is replaced with yours and its gone from memory ..

Hi

I have tried to power on a 6WB cluster on the table. Connected pin 2 to (+) and pin 7/8 to (-) and pressed odometer button, but i get miles/time only, no full power on.
Do i need a ZGW(and CAS?) for wake up the cluster over pt-can?
Can someone lead me in the right direction?

Thx

Edit:
Or can i simulate the wake up?

 

appreciate if someone can share the virgin dump of 6WB , I read many people have it already so I will be thankful if someone can share a copy of it please .

i want to change my 6wa cluster with a 6wb ! Can anybody tell me if i have to buy a 6wb with hud or just 6wb because i have now a 6wa with hud display ? Sorry for my bad english

 

If car does not have 610 HUD option, you can use a 6WA / 6WB with our without HUD connector.

 

Hello

i have followed this thread now but i still don't understand if it is possible to retrofit a used 6wb combi cluster and than successfull code it so that it will work? Can someone send me a pm or explain me step by step what i need to do before i start this retrofit? i have a 550i from 2010 with the standard combi cluster with HUD.

Thanks for the patient and sorry for my bad english

I'm not sure but I believe that you have 6WA because HUD require HSD contact from KOMBI and standard kombi doesn't have HSD!

Anyway yes you can retrofit used 6WB!!
If 6WB have lower milage then it's little bit easier..
If higher then you need clear it using R270 programmer
Then take care of VIN as described earlier in this thread..

Good luck!

 

I got my hand on a second hand 6wb with 97dkm on it it is less than my car so i can retrofit this unit without any problem? I only need to remove the old vin number? Is removing the old vin possible with e-sys?

 

Hello!

You have to open the cluster and delete the short an long vin with a R270 programmer and a SOIC8 testclip. The other option is to use a heat air soldering station and desolder the chip. It's easier - the testclips are really horrible in my eyes.

CU Oliver

 

I maybe found a company who can code it for me i ask them what they charge for it. Because after reading this the 270 programmer cost me 130 euro maybe it is cheaper to ask the company what they charge for it.

I thought it was only coding and adding vo and so that is what i can do.
