Hello,
I recently purchased a F36 with a 6WB aftermarket installed on it, and then noticed a red dot next to 'time', after a quick research I figured it was called tamper dot and maybe the odometer has been modified before. I called the seller who assured that it has never been modified and the mileage was original. I went to the dealer also who also confirmed that the mileage on the key and the car were the same and all services were made at the dealer. They said that they were not be able to help me to remove the dot but simply suggested me to get the old one back. Can someone here help me with that? I love that car but the dot make me wonder I am driving a fraud Thank you in advance

You purchased a 6WB that had previously been used.

It records the VIN and mileage of the original vehicle in a memory chip that, for obvious reasons, is not meant to be changed. ISTA, ESYS or a BMW Dealer cannot help you with this, not can 99.9999% of the remote coders as the chip must be removed from the Kombi and cleared/reprogrammed in machines designed for programming chips.

Just changing the VIN in Esys or ISTA ends up with the problem you now find yourself with.

If seller told you had cleared the VIN and memory, they lied.

Indeed the 6WB retrofit was performed poorly! Probably with the mileage of the car is nothing wrong.
