6WA Extended Cluster Retrofit
Hi,
I'm going to retrofit 6WA extended cluster to a F20 (with NBT) and also to a F30 (with NBT) for my friend. I found some posts here mentioned that after we add new 6WA unit and with MOST connected NBT and cluster, the Esys cannot recognize the new hardware and thus cannot even code it. 1. Is there something (hardware?) needs to do if I encounter this problem? 2. There also mentioned "inject cadf", what is it and how this can be done using Esys? Since I may transplant my old cluster to another car... 3. How to clear VIN? Mis-match VIN will make the red dot appear. 4. How to reset or adjust the mileage meter to 0, so after connecting to the car the car's own mileage memory will write on it? Any help appreciate! |

Sorry to hi-jack but I was looking to do this as well and was wondering if I need any additional hardware or is the cluster all that's required.
I'm going from basic kombi with no nav. I've read some posts that a most cable is needed but I'm assuming that's for not equipped cars Thanks and pardon my ignorance |

Kombi communicates through your head unit via MOST if you are coming from non-nav head unit you may not have a MOST connection on it. If that is the case you will need to upgrade your head unit as well if you have basic kombi with no nav and HK sound system you will have a most loop that goes to HK system and back. you will need to modify this loop to incorporate your 6WA as well. |

it seems to be hit or miss. my car is a base 328 xdrive but i have the most connection. my buddies 328 x drive base model does not and we have the exact same options xenons and premium pack (sunroof and folding rear seats). |

this is very bad HOWTO for newbies who does not know what they are actually doing, as it involves flashing which is totally not needed for a KOMBI retrofit and is very risky to brick that new and dreamed of instrument cluster.
if your KOMBI does not show up in ECU list you need to change your SVT tree in VCM.
