Will it work with standard dash

I would love SLI on my 2013 F10 530D. I have no KAFAS and am happy to buy whichever emulator box (NBT headunit with latest maps).

However, I have the "standard" dash - IE: The screen at the bottom extends to the right over the rev counter but NOT over the speedo on the left.

Will I need a 6WA/WB dash as well or can any of the emulators be made to work with the standard dash ?

Any help MUCH appreciated.

Hi Kolianovskyi,

The attached pic isn't actually THE cluster on my car but it is exactly the same one (I googled and found a pic as I am not near the car at the moment).

You notice how the bottom LCD screen only goes over the rev counter to the right and not the speedo to the left.

Ahhh cool - I wonder if your module can be switched to MPH rather than KM/H ? Also, can you switch it out via iDrive or trip computer switch so you can get "distance to drive" back again ?

Although looking at the pic you sent, that is the full width LCD - The speed limit symbol is actually further to the left than the screen on mine actually extends so still makes me wonder if it will work ?

As far as I recall this from my mod period, you have to have the extended instrument cluster, because those (and other infos) are displayed into the center (here left side) of the extended cluster.
Never heard before that this also works at the small ones but maybe anyone else knows more

I've found this one on eBay : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254595685014

it says it works on : "6WA, 6WB and basic kombi clusters"

I think the extended cluster is the 6WA and the all digital one is the 6WB. I am assuming that the one I have is the "basic kombi cluster" ?

I have messaged the seller to clarify but he is on holiday at the moment.

I bought and installed the bimmer8 module, it's absolutely perfect.

Arrived quickly, really well packaged, came with all the tools you need to fit including torx screwdriver etc, and even has switches to change between kmh mph round square etc.

Absolutely recommend this!

Aside from you unnecessary full quote...you have to specify your area of useage into the order. Default is European delivery.

I believe that's to switch between F series vs G series.

There are different modules available, few have dip switches to set the box to the desired sign layout. Idk if this one has those also, this was only the quote from the site.

Anybody try the BimmerTech Speed Limit module? It's much more expensive, but I wonder if anybody has had experience with it.

Don't waste your money! The bimmer8 module costs a fraction of that and works flawlessly. Mph. Kph. Trailing speed limit line. Square or round signals…. Perfect.

So everyone post about coding but nobody mentions what exactly needs to be coded. Can you confirm that this is correct? It does not mention that VO needs to be added.

https://bimmer8.com/products/bmw-speed-limit-module?lang=en

Code:
Coding is required for Kombi and HU_NBT/HU_NBT2 for normal display after the product is installed.

Coding to be modified for KOMBI or DKMOBI

( ignore this if not applicable )
【F Series】
ANZEIGE_NPI = aktiv
KI_PIA_SPEED_LIMIT = aktiv
SPEED_LIMIT = aktiv
SPEED_LIMIT_GENERATION = sli_gen_2_npi
RCOG_TRSG_APPL = aktiv (* See Notice below)
RCOG_TRSG_TIMEOUT = aktiv (* See Notice below)
【G Series】
ADDITIONAL_SIGN_ENABLE = aktiv
ANZEIGE_NPI = aktiv
CB_TACHOZEIGERBAND = aktiv
CB_SLI_NPI = aktiv
PIA_SLI_NPI = aktiv
RCOG_TRSG_APPL = aktiv (* See Notice below)
RCOG_TRSG_TIMEOUT = aktiv (* See Notice below)
SLI_PERMANENT_ENABLE = aktiv
SPEED_LIMIT_ENABLE = sli
TACHOZEIGERBAND_ENABLE = aktiv
NO_PASSING_ENABLE = aktiv
SPEED_LIMIT_UNIT_ENABLE = Wert_02 ( *If you dont want to display the speed unit kmh or mph, please set Wert_0 )
* If your vehicle have HUD (Head-Up Display) , ignore this if not applicable
HUD_NPI_ENABLE = aktiv
HUD_PIA_SPEED_LIM = aktiv
HUD_SPEED_LIMIT_ENABLE = aktiv
HUD_SLI_ENABLE = aktiv
PIA_HUD_SLI = aktiv
PIA_HUD_SLI_NPI = aktiv
PIA_HUD_SLI_PORTIERUNG = aktiv
PIA_HUD_VSLI = aktiv
 

Coding to be modified for HU_NBT or HU_NBT2

SPEEDLIMIT_INFO = aktiv
SLI_NAVI_DISPLAY = nicht_aktiv
