Cheerz

Thanks it's sorted now.

Good to hear it's reading accurately. Too many road speed change, school zone, road work etc.

Just to be clear... if there is roadwork it won't update the speed limit.
You are just getting the original speed that is in the map before the road work speed limit is posted.

How about school zone time speed limit?

I just drove a 440i today, built in 08 2016. This car has SLI displaying on dash and hud. I was told by the sales that new model now has the front camera scanning road speed sign now.

So what? Thats the purpose of the SA reading all kind of traffic signs with the kamera. Thats not a sensation but a very useful add on to the car.

My brother installed this PnP SLI (Chinaclone) in his 2017 F80 M3 and it just do not work. VO coded 8TH into KOMBI and HU_NBT2 to no avail -no dim circle at HUD, nothing at KOMBI is showing. Both displays were selected in the iDrive display, so coding was taken by the HU_NBT2, not sure of the KOMBI.

Is the circle supposed to show immediately (at HUD or intrument panel) after coding or the car must go to sleep first?

After the VO coding is done and FDL coded 3 dashes should appear in the HUD and in the instrument cluster as you cycle through it with the button on the stalk.

Also you need to enable it in the center console screen under what should be displayed when in the HUD menu. It should be a check box.

Then when the sli unit is plugged in the red circle shows up. With the speed limit if you are on a road that has a speed limit and is on the map as a road that has traffic map on it.

Thanks... we figured it out: PSdZData was old. Updated it and then KOMBI got the coding. Strange as HU_NBT2 got the coding the first time.

Quite simple install after the snafu... thanks to all contributions in this thread.

Has anyone had success with the Chinese eBay module in the USA? What does it look like? Thanks in advance

You need to start reading this thread going back to 6/3/17 to get all the details you are looking for.

I got mine working successfully. As others have noted, the speed limit information displayed on KOMBI is the ECE white/red circle with kilometers per hour but correctly matches my local miles per hour.

For those of us in the U.S., if we could only figure out a way to display it in MPH...?

I'll have a look through the Kombi module when I fit mine to see if there is anything. If not, I suspect its may be something to do with how the FSC is emulated?

Seems that nobody has gotten it to work with USA signage and MPH...

[ChubbyWilly]

Interested as well. Will this work with US vehicles?

Edit: Did not read the post above me before I posted LOL

Yes it works with USvehicles but shows ECE signage. See pic a few posts above

The seller on eBay responded that he couldn't get it to work on a CIC. Any reason why that would be the case? Has anyone with a CIC and the extended cluster get this to work on their vehicle?

[Dang3r]

You have to order this item into the correct setting for your country.
If you're not buying the part which is discussed at the beginning of this thread, I have no clue if there are jumpers to change the settings or not.

I had NBT and extended cluster, was no problem. CIC I got no idea, sorry.

[rsnissan]

Great thread - I’ve just ordered the emulator linked on the top of page 6.

Has anyone managed to figure out how to get the signage display in the cluster to show as MPH instead of KPH?

The Chinese made product has no jumpers when the unit is opened.

First: The units to display into extended cluster and/or HUD are to set within the iDrive. That couldnt be mixed with each other.
Second: If you consider to install a SLI-emulator you'll have to mention your desired country before ordering, that the jumpers are correct set. Hence the SLI-emulator holds no translator or other kind of transducer, a conversion of the units are impossible. As far as I know the Chinese clone are not be able to differ between metric and non-metric values. So maybe a few bucks more to spend for a proper emulator would be desireable?

Thats one of the "features" if you're gonna buy an item maybe at first look more cheaper than the rest. I have no further words, man

Agreed. I don't care that the kmph is showing up. I am happy that the numerals are correct. So it's worth it for me.
