You have to change eeprom data(vin,mileage) and then code it to car. You need to have programmer like R270 but I don't about chip inside 6WB.

If it's new there's no need to change the eeprom data.
Only coding is necessary.
Here's a guide for VO coding:
http://www.bmwesys.com/guides/VO%20C...ep%20Guide.pdf
At point 6 you have to change the 6WA to 6WB.
And at point 12 you have to code your HU and DKombi.

Stupid question does the 6WB cluster void warranty?

Only if the installation leads to problems specifically ur fault. They should have to prove that but overall no it does not.

In warranty work, you have it 100% backwards. It’s essentially up to you to prove the Modification DID NOT cause the issue if they decide to deny.

”They should” is not “innocent until proven guilty” in these instances.

Hello,

Has anyone installed a 6WB cluster on an F30 and gotten a "Cruise Control Malfunction" message upon start-up randomly every few start ups? Everything works fine including cruise control, I just happen to get this message every couple of start ups

Obviously the person who virginized your 6WB did not do a complete and proper job.

Guess 825€ wasn't a great deal.

Is there a current guide from start to finish what needs to be done exactly for F3x with NBT_EVO? The PDF guide I have seen just has some generic stuff in it and doesn't explain where/what to find and change.

Hi

I just bought a 6wb cluster, brand new with 0miles and never coded for any car or vin.

so is it just a matter of removing 6wa and vo code 6wb and code headunit and kombi or is it more than that? Also do you suggest to do the coding with factory headunit on and once the cluster is all set then install the retrofitted id5 headunit or i can directly code with retrofitted id5 headunit on?

Thanks.
