A customer came Last week with the same Issue. He said he bought the car like that. I still have no idea whats wrong.

 

Check the code. See this thread. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=662851

Make sure yours is set for the default.

KOMBI
3007
DIM_NACHT_EIN
werte = 32

 

tried to code HU and Kombi again but no luck

dont want to disconnect battery now in case i screw something else up. knowing my luck i'd blow a bunch of fuses or something

reading this thread


i noticed my default value is different

are they related?

 

Thanks Pasa, Mars,

Mars - I checked the code - it is default value of OA. So the instrument cluster should light up during day but it is not lighting up (I did not try to change the orange night time to day time white color).

Anyone other inputs folks ?

Thanks

 

Hi,

Are you sure the car has 6WA cluster?
Please send me the VIN of the car.


Thorsten

 

Thorsten,

It does have 6WA. The lights were working before coding. My guess is one of the codes got messed up (even though I did not touch anything to do with lights).

Thanks

 

Change werte to 32, not 0A. Do you have an LCI? Maybe they changed something... I distinctly remember coding one of the modules, and all of a sudden getting the white display at night (it never changed orange), without me actually changing this setting. I went to the werte value and changed to 32 and it started automatically changing again.

 

Mars will try that..

 

cancanny,

I saw so much cars with different options and problems...
Some cars has had retrofitted options but they wasnt available in the VO.

If you have a problem with the 6WA, you can made a VO code so it should work, or?


Thorsten

 

Did it work?

 

Mars - am travelling so could not try this. Will post results once I am back. Shawn also suggested resetting ECU, will post results from that too.

Thanks

 

Similar Issue

Hey all, newbie on here and this is my first post, I had my car coded yesterday and noticed yesterday evening that I had the same issue, the car display is not lighting up. None of the setting for this were changed except to add the feature of having mph displayed in the computer.

Anyway managed to rectify this issue? Any help much appreciated thanks :thumbup:

 

HI,

I would try to recode the cluster again, but not FDL coding, only coding.


Thorsten

 

There is a option named KOMBI_BACKLIGHT_HIGH that enable white color in day mode for 6WA/WB check this hope to help

 

Hi there,

my fellow coder tried to change the settings from white/orange to white only. It seems he could only change the backlight from "orange" to "grau". The only change I discovered is that the lines showing up below the instruments are grey instead of orange. The rest is still orange when driving in dark.
Does anyone know how to make my instr. cluster showing only white light ?

could it be possible that it is due to my car being built 9/2014 and that BMW changed/removed some codes?

Thanks in advance

 

Hi shawn ,
thx for your help last day. you are the men.
I just have the same issue as "stockaheah" , I lost the daylight white in the instrument cluster, just the amber light at night is on. any suggestion?
thx

 

VO Code Kombi (Right-Click ECU => Code) to reset it.

Hello. Has someone managed to solve this problem?

 

thanks Shawn,

has anyone else been able to fix this?

 

I am not aware of it being an issue for anyone else but you an OP, and he never updated us. Bottom line is if Coding caused it, and Coding was reset, it would be back to normal. You should also VO Code Head Unit. The two ECU's are interwoven.

 

another thing i was just thinking

car is a LCI m135i
when i launch Esys premium launcher what should i select for car series?

premium launcher F020
esys F020

is that correct?

E-Sys Launcher Car Series needs to be set to exactly what car is (e.g. F020, F021, F022, etc.). E-Sys Connection Target needs to be set to F020. This though is not cause of your issue.

 

would the LCI be classified as a F021?

 

PM me your short VIN (last 7).

 

I really don't think you will have any problems with the Dealer and warranty issue, like Shawnsheridan say'd just act like Village people.
They will probable just reprogram the car and that's it. (The aren't that active to look at the coding data you done. This from experience iv'e seen)

 

Can anyone tell me how to turn on instrument cluster illuminating all the time, even when headlights are off, switch control set to 0? It's BMW f10.

Thanks in advance.

 

Ever since fitting my 6wa kombi into my F21 the dials have not lit up white in the daytime and I have never been able to figure out why.

 

Any updates on this issue? Did OP eventually fixed this issue? I lost my white backlit after coding my KOMBI on my 6WA instrument cluster as well and tried everything discussed in this post and still couldn't get it back. If anyone successfully fixed this, please please let me know how.

 

Hi Shawn

I also have the 'sudden no daylight instrument cluster lights' issue. Just yesterday they stopped working for no reason, and I have not coded anything for weeks.

I have this morning tried the 'changing werte to 32' and also the 'KOMBI_BACKLIGHT_HIGH' suggestions here, with no luck.

I am not sure how to do the 'VO Right click to reset it' you have suggested, Can you please give me a bit more info on VO things.

This is for a Mini Clubman F54, which uses the F056 software connection in the coding software, which seems to work fine.

P.S, some months ago I did code to try and have white instruments even at night, but never got it to work. I think it was only the KOMBI_DIM_NACHT_EIN werte change, which has since been at the default OA.

I just don't know how it could suddenly just not work.......

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Matt
