If 6WB is available in Australia, is that mean when I get my panel it is just a simple swap with the multifunction panel rather then coding as well.

Thanks!
If it's a retrofit, you will still have to code it properly for the first time. Once the coding is done, then it is easy swaps between your 6WB and 6WA Extended or Basic cluster. That swap does not require further coding at all since all of the information is now in your car. However, if the 6WB is in the ISTA/P system, then you will not have to swap it. I would do this. Take your car with your 6WB. Make sure you have your 6WA with you, if it can't be read, then swap it out. That will tell you whether it's doable or not. Also post back so people know that if their dealer/country has 6WB option and they retrofit 6WB, they can keep it in permanently or not. Thanks.
