Is there a way to update the firmware on this cluster? I know the ID4 Motion clusters have a little external USB port to receive future updates with new themes, updates, bug fixes. |

This cluster seems like it might work for someone without HUD though, so if they refuse the cancellation, maybe I will try to sell it locally. Is the expectation that if I installed this, it would throw tamper codes, as it cannot be programmed to be accepted by the ECU / head unit / HUD? It did not look like it was doing so in the videos I checked out. Maybe the install I saw was on a non-HUD BMW, as it looked to be only two cables that were connected. I assumed one cable was power, one to the head unit. Are you saying a HUD-capable 6WB has another cable going to the HUD? A third cable? |

I have an 2020 F32 with ID6, and have absolutely no clue how to go about it. Is coding needed if I buy the 6WB new? The posts I have read say yes. Bimmertech coding @ $300 seems a little expensive, but if that is my only route... |

i went with steve@codemybimmer (https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/member.php?u=87926) . i believe it was about $100 for the coding session, and i'd go to him for all future coding work as well, very easy and very helpful. |

Regarding MwSt, for me the only required is having own VAT ID. Don't know how it works within Germany, though. |

I'm actually waiting for an English-speaking review on this particular product. The only in depth review is in Thai speaking...everything else seems to be to be less than 1min long, with no actual speaking.

Unfortunately the video isn't coming from me...I too am on the fence about it...Emailed a few sellers about this thing but I mainly received responses from non English speaking individuals. Somewhat easy to tell they were non English speaking people, because they used English incorrectly at times. If I don't see one in a month or two, I will bite the bullet and purchase one for myself, and post my own, and link it here.

So, just for an update, I'd end up cancelling the AliExpress purchase and went with a local OEM 6WB display from a dealer in Germany,and got a dudefrom Taiwan to code it for me. Added a rear view camera and Android Auto with a Bimmertech kit,and everything is working great!
Was a slight delay as my car had an older,deprecated trunk handle, but Bimmertech sent the updated part and it worked as soon as I plugged it in.. |

both link is just an overall review, not review in depth, only go through the settings, the first one even said that there is no F30 only F10, X5, X6, so possibly future software update may resolve this. Last edited by dangerus_car; 09-11-2022 at 11:31 AM.. |

Ok, took a bullet for the team, and actually purchased the digital cluster, just received it and I am currently evaluating it...Some issues, some will probably be addressed with a slight software upgrade, others, will not because fixing it would require a specific module be added to the device, IF, and it's a big IF, this module is commercially obtainable, which it probably isn't. So I am not going to hold my breath for a fix.
Pros: looks great, sort of like driving a newer vehicle. Quality of the device, excellent, at first glance looks OEM...but if you look further, the differences are obvious. Not enough to not purchase for yourself, but seriously anal people will complain about the colors or fonts or worse... Was well packed and arrived without incident. Matches well with the OEM iDrive unit, and since I currently have an MMI device, looks good with Android Auto. There are several cons, however most of them will should be addressed by software updates, depending on just how long device is supported. I know, the "cons" list is long, but I don't want to discourage you from purchasing. However, I cannot, in good conscious, NOT tell you about the cons... Cons: You have to set your own mileage, personally I am honest, and would never "loose" miles, but you know there are scams on the marketplace that are even worse. Imperial miles need to be adjusted, there are currently counted every 1.2 miles, up or down, don't know which, that will probably be addressed with a software update. You WILL lose access to the OEM conditional based service reminder system, but in defense your service will be reminded by the cluster but you have to set all service reminders. If you have a hard code on your car, you will be reminded of it by the cluster, you need to retain your original cluster to be able to have your mechanic remove it, or yourself if able. Even though you are able to "add" different things to your cluster, like adaptive cruise, and others, DON'T. No seriously, don't if your car wasn't originally equipped with it. It is not like coding stuff that wasn't equipped, if the module was not equipped, cluster will look for it, not find it, and throw a code. You need to restart engine, and turn off the option that you turned on to clear the code. Tire pressure sensor, within cluster, isn't functioning properly, but is still functioning within the OEM iDrive. However, resetting it, has its issues, On your cluster you will have get a code, until tire system resets. For all the people who drive in Eco Pro mode, cluster does NOT recalculate miles to empty, you are stuck with whatever miles to empty from your original fill up, even though the fuel shows the decreased consumption. There is currently no way to change the image of the car, that shows on your dash, it will be either an M5, an X5 or an X4. There are a couple more, that I will eventually post, just can't remember them now. In conclusion, some of the apparent issues should be able to be addressed by software updates, but some, can't because you are removing a module, Even the digital clusters for the E90's and lower models, have this issue. if you do your own service, that is a non issue. If you like look, and you don't have any codes, you are able to track your own maintenance and you don't make it a habit of always driving in ECON mode YES, it is a buy. I will post the pictures soon... |

Oh yeah, if you use Eco Pro mode, your gas Guage will be off because it doesn't calculate the savings....your idrive should be correct though...need to test a full tank to be sure.
Forget my last statement, technically the miles to empty would be slightly off, because it doesn't calculate the savings, however the idrive is NOT correct either, the gas gage, and Iles to empty just goes down slower in ECON mode...so it technically works...just fill up when you get to the red and the alarm goes off...remember to follow the directions of the seller concerning your. Car about initial values that might have to be entered if you decide to proceed... |

nice man thanks for being the test rabbit. Minus the "Stratup" misspelling are there a lot of other misspellings on this unit? I wish the f30 or f32 car animation was available for this unit. But other than those 2 concerns of mine this looks like a nice cosmetic upgrade as I pretty much only drive in sport+.
I guess I would also ask if the fuel gauge is accurate aside from when in Eco Pro mode as mentioned above? because if its not then that could be a problem with doing E-mixes
