In Europe the Fxx series started to be unlock since beginning 2015.
The Diesel Fxx since last year. My F33 Was unlocked by my local mechanic. He is specialized in race cars. First the ecu must be reached, open the case,remove tuning protection code and that's it. From now on with OBDII only. |

This post made me wonder if someone changed out their kombi, drove for a while and then put old one back in when came time to sell, would the buyer know this has been done?
Ie would the car state less mileage than its actually done? How would one find out? Kinda worrying if this is being used to manipulate mileage. Not saying anyone here is but you never know with all the thousands of cars out there. |

That red dot would annoy me... I don't know, the M-kombi makes a lot of sense if you unlock the ecu otherwise I would just want to code the kombi to have the M like display with the huge speedometer and what gear your in. I have a manual so that would be ideal for me

For the M Kombi you have to clear the former Vin with yours.
Install the New Kombi and then coding. Remember to code the M view also in you have Hud. Some little issue i am still facing, but it is matter of time.. You can choose the Bmw logo,M3 or M4. Now opening the Ecu is for remapping the engine and adds more Hp. This is the way we follow in Europe now for Fxx series. |

He was talking about ECU tuning of his car for performance, that is not necessary for this modification.

I am not an expert.
But the Ecu is like the brain that control 100% of the parameters. JB,scortcher AFE...is like a faked brain that have just few connections with the engine and than less power's gain. In Europe there are now many tuners that can do Ecu flashing. For the engine N55 the Ecu's case is in the center of the engine, it takes more than one hour to reach that, then open the case and then the tuning protection codes needs to be cancelled. You have to do this job the very first time only, then you can use the OBD II because the Ecu is unlocked now. |

in order to get rid of the red tampered dot you must clear the vin AND the mileage on the kombi. i retrofitted 6WA kombi into my car and when i initially installed i got red dot and service intervals not syncing (cannot communicate because vin mismatch) Then I cleared the vin and service intervals came back but red dot stayed (mileage mismatch). Cleared vin and mileage plugged it all back in and red dot went away. |

So if your cars mileage is 10k and the cluster you want to retrofit is 32k. you car will from then on show it is 32k and there is nothing you can really do about it. Well...at least no one on the forums have been able to revert that change. |
