Looks like EEPROM requires that the cluster be taken apart to clear VIN and mileage. Cannot be done remotely.
Doable, but an expensive endeavor. |

Just did a 6WB retrofit and all of the ambient light is not working except for the lighting on the passengers side dash
The small strip of light on the drivers side past the cluster as well as the strips on all the doors does not illuminate. I did notice one wire not plugged into anywhere after installing the new cluster but did not see where it could be plugged into. Any thoughts? Thank you |

Weird that ambient light is being affected by cluster. May need some extra coding? |

Fixed the problem! Was a loose wire.
If anyone is interested in doing a 6WB retrofit I can help out with installation instructions and coding (for free of course =))

Does anyone know if there is someone in New England that would tackle a job like this? Preferably Rhode Island but I know there are not many mod peeps in this area unfortunately. I barely ever see anything exciting on the road, just a LOT of lowered G37's with 20's...

HUGE difference over the partially digital 6WA that came with my car. I would have gotten it with my car but they discontinued executive package on the 35i models

Here are some photos of the completed retrofit
Total install time with putting in the new cluster and coding took me around 15-20 minutes tops. I had the partially digital 6WA cluster and this 6WB blows it away (it looks way better in person). I have the car for 3 years so I am glad I upgraded to 6WB. If you have any questions feel free to DM me

I just got the car in the beginning of June
I meant I will have the car for 3 years so I felt that the 6WB upgrade was well worth it

The install is A LOT easier than it looks. With the tool that Opasha linked the cluster pops out with ease!

Hi Everyone,
Soooooo... installed my 6WB. It's AMAZING, I made my wife drive me around on sport mode and its really fun to watch. Tons of props to BMW for making something so fun. Anyways, the HUD is not working. The seller from Russia pre coded my VIN and it fired up right away (minus the hud). He also insists the unit is solid and wants to exchange coding data to help me troubleshoot. I then did remote coding with Steve Ma from codemybimmer (I understand hes legit, hes also a great dude and is very professional plus patient). He did everything he could and basically said "it must be another issue". I took apart the cluster AGAIN to double check the wires and nothing. I also put my 6WA back in and the HUD came back on. Any thoughts or do I have a dud? It's a sad day in F15 world for me. |
