I wish there were more options to modify...like changing the dial to go to 330KMPH...like Changing colors, like adding more info to the center space...if you have HUD..the center area just stays black and looks empty..

It definitely makes the car look so much modern

Hi everyone, i'm just installed used and virginized 6wb in my 2011 F07 (5 GT), added a cafd and coded with FA with 6WB, and everything is ok expect it doesn't get the mileage from my car, just started to count kilometers from 0, I have already covered 70 kilometers and it shows 000070. Did anyone have such a problem?

As we all know these units sell for 1800-2000 online. After talking to some friends, and making a few phonecalls I was able to secure a BNIB unit for a great price and I pulled the trigger.

Base next to 6WB.



After installing it I used his instructions to code the unit with ESYS, you can reference them here:
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=700327

Upon initial power up the unit showed 000000 for just a second and adopted the vehicles mileage. However I had a red tamper dot. I was really concerned about this and wondering if my cheap BNIB unit had been plugged into another car before.



Whatever the discrepancy was however went away after the car was allowed to go to sleep and the cluster woke up from a cold boot.



I went out for a test drive and put it in Sport+ for a launch control test :-)



I found that my newest iteration cluster (PN 62106821074) also had shift lights when in manual mode that rise up and around the tachometer!



I absolutely love this modification to the car, much thanks to shawnsheridan for paving the way and answering all my odd PM's about inane details.
Just did this upgrade myself, absolutley love it!!.. but is traction control always with the sport plus mode??

Yes. Sport+ turns off TC (I believe) and turns on Dynamic Traction Control (I believe).

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong

I messed up that question, wanted to know about launch control... I know if you hold down the DSC button TC goes off... but in Sport+ mode it is always off.. so which cars have launch control?.. does that come with the sport trans?

I believe launch control is on the Sport Auto. The procedure is in the OM.

Does the Sport mode have to change the screen? I would take the Comfort mode screen for all driving modes. The sport one is red like an Audi. Any way to change it?
