I am just in the process of ordering the Instrument cluster from Chris at scorebmwparts. He believes my build is too early and suggested I check with others. My VIN no. is 0G94990 with a build date of 09/13. I believe I currently have the 6WA (Lower third is LED/LCD) I have HUD, LDW.
Will 62109363265 work?

Regards

I honestly think that yours will be fine. I also have an early build too and 6WB worked fine after I had my car coded by the once again, incredible Opasha.

However, this is an OEM part, which is why it works.
I am just returning back to BMW, so pardon my ignorance. My first was a lease - and my order (coming next week) is a finance.

So, considering its an OEM part, would this void a USA warranty if I installed myself? What about if I could talk my service manager into installing it?

Thanks! Looks too awesome NOT to install lol

OK, so reading a bit further back, I might have answered my own question. The pdf that was provided states that I CAN order this to be installed if I have an F15 on order that was built after 8/14? If this is true, what is the cost unit/install based on anyone experience

I have just retrofitted the cluster to the 6WB. All went well, just the usual brake fluid warning which I have yet to reset.
I have gone back to code a few other items but now not getting details. See image below. Do I just need to be patient while it's written back, or have I done something wrong?

Got quoted $3000 (with the actual unit costing $2400) to retrofit the 6WB at my BMW dealer last week.... So kind of pissed off that they overlooked that the option came along during summer and didn't inform me until my car was locked for production. Would have been $690 as an add on then.

Fedstral, save yourself $600 by installing it yourself. I'm not that much of an expert on these things but I was able to install it without incident.

Is it one and the same cluster for all models? Regarding the X5 M50d text that shows up in Schaeffs pictures, do you need to code that separately or will the display recognise the model you put it in?

opasha, or others, I have purchased a 6WB for my incoming 2016 F15.

opasha you mentioned an "adapter plug" that you needed to go back and get from bummer-tech, to connect the two sets of wires from your 6WA, I am coming from a 6WA extended as well and ordered mine from Chris at Sterling BMW, but it also did not come with an "Adapter plug", do I need one of these or might you have been referring to an earlier 6WB or something else? Chris said he has never shipped an adapter plug for the dozen or so orders he has processed. TY for your thread and help.

Is there a specific 6wb cluster for vehicles w/o hud? I'm going to purchase one used that came out of a donor vehicle with hud.*
Will this work in my 16 f15 w/o hud?*
Thanks

Can someone tell me what is involved with installing this in a different car, does the display need to be reset or cleared before installing in another car?

Not all F15 X5 (2014-2016) models are equipped with digital dash?

I'm in the process of preparing to install myself. If the cluster came from a donor vehicle, the EEPROM in the cluster will need to be cleared of donor car VIN and mileage, and yours will need to be written in. After that is done, u install in your vehicle and then coding must be done as well.
The only way to avoid EEPROM work is to purchase new with a virgin EEPROM. Then coding will only be necessary.

I'm wondering about this...

If I already have the HUD, what extra functions would I get on this retrofit I wouldn't already have (apart from the cool graphics)?

I have this fitted to my Australian spec M50d.

I'm wondering about the 60 speed symbol in the above screenshot.

I haven't noticed this on mine at all in the settings.

What is it for and how is it set?
