6WB - Digital Instrument Cluster (X5 35d)

If I understood, with 2015 X5 models the newer style digital cluster should be available in Canada and Europe as standard (?).

However, there appears to be no sign of it for the USA.

Does the presence in the non-US models imply that the coding issues wdimagineer has alluded to with 2014+6WB will be resolved? Do some special coding files need to be made available before coders will be able to fixup aftermarket 6WB installations?

My CA indicated its not unheard of for BMW to sneak in an update through the year. Having driven a couple of 6 series models this week (with 6WB) and also seeing the new X6 has this as standard I am disappointed the X5 is not getting the same treatment for the F15 2015 US model. I wonder if this is due to regulatory approval or BMW profit-managing?

Update:
@Opasha has created a complete how-to guide for installing the 6WB on F15 models - see here: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1039855
