F36 6WB Retrofit questions
I've been strongly considering buying a virginized 6WB cluster, but had a few questions from everything I've been reading. For reference, my car is a 2018 F36, build date of 5/2017, and using the NBT_EVO_R i-step.
1) Given my build date and i-step, would my car be able to do nav on both the HUD and the 6WB? 2) My car has the speed limit information option (8TH), would I get that feature with 6WB where it puts the red line for where the speed limit is on the speedometer? 3) Do CarPlay navigation directions show up on the 6WB display? 4) Are there any coding things that can be done on the 6WB, such as M Performance logo or anything like that? Can't do much of anything on my 6WA, and really hate how the left side lower mini display (under speedometer) never shows anything. Thanks all! |

1) NO 2) NO 3) NO 4) Nothing more than what 6WA gives you. |

Well, I have that option and it doesn't show on mine. I have not heard of it on others, but honestly haven't investigated it.

1) Nav guidance provided on HUD (unsure whether anything shows in the 6WB). 2) Yes. red bug provided. Delta from speed limit also coloured in red. 3) Who uses Carplay navigation? 4) No M-Performance Logo possible/available. Only thing that can be added by coding is a compass.

Present by default. Looks like that:
The only useful coding you can do (and I have done) on the 6WB is to enable the compass Oh, one can also enable another digital readout of the speed (as on previous cluster models), which I find completely useless (especially in combination with HUD), so I passed on it.

P.s. You might find some relevant information here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1541914
(Haven't read it myself, just noticed your question is discussed)
