I am an IT technician and I purchased an F31 in 2018. Since then I have become passionate about the world of retrofits and coding. I have seen many video tutorials over the years but yours are simply fantastic. Congratulations for your preparation, professionalism but above all for your ability to explain in a simple and clear way, thank you very much. ps: in Italy I couldn't find ANYONE who wanted to teach me these things, not even by paying!

Hello Vladimir, I`m a big fan of yours because of your explanations and how easy it is to understand, also I`d like to watch your videos like you said for programming and everything at all, because I`m in Technical University and I should be learning Automobile Electronics but still I haven`t learn anything from Uni. Keep up with the good work

I do the repair and programming of electronic modules in vehicles. But I want to master BMW. Your channel is very useful to me. I'm looking forward to your technical videos like this. Thank you Vladimir..

Man... what a cool video!!! So I learned that buying a new one is the best I can do, at least for my case. I have a G20 M340i, a used in good condition cluster goes around 400 in eBay and an additional 400 to virginize it in some local shop. A new one from a BMW dealer is 1200. So basically going used I will be saving only 400, wasting time, potentially having it broken and still have a used one. So yeah, I'll go for a new one. Thank you very much man!!!!

Hello Vladimir, Love your channel and all the great content. I just ordered my virginized 6WB cluster for my f26 x4. I am interested in a video with the coding steps required. I have experience with E-sys just need the steps to complete the mission. Thx

What a great video, knowledge is key, and aspiring to learn the fundamentals required for which is a very technical task.

I have a BMW M850 XDrive. Year 2019. After purchase, everything worked. I went for chip tuning and popcorn making. Then I went to a mechanic who replaced the battery in the front of my car (technical) and did some digging because I wanted to have a BMW Me. Car from the USA and he came to the conclusion that he wouldn't do it. I picked up the car, the radio was Sirus (America), it was impossible to change the time, it was New York. I did a reset from the panel in the car. But what's most interesting. Previously, I had a different car sound with eco and switching to sport+. Now I don't feel any difference when starting the car. And there was a different characterization. The flaps open. and they are open all the time. Tuning has been undone. I called the dealership and they said that the flaps should open in comfort and sport+ modes. However, they are still open. The guy who previously converted from the US to the EU accessed my car remotely and doesn't know what could be wrong. I have a cable for remote connection. the steering wheel also behaves similarly in all modes. I have the impression that the car is in sport mode. Changing to comfort and eco does not cause any difference in the behavior of the car and the steering wheel works just as hard. The only difference is in sport+, where the car actually revs higher. I've read that people have various problems after replacing the battery. technical, but I haven't read about a case like mine anywhere. Please help.

Thank you again for the video please if you can make video of programming after virginizing 😊😊

Just coming across ur video for the first time nd must say sincerely, u er simply the best. U completely broke it down. Please friend, in a bmw enthusiast, I would love to learn how to program nd code bmw cars, would so appreciate if u would train me in that regards.

Great job Vlad! Just wondering if u accept orders to fit BMW F25 2016? Thanks

Thank you Vladimir for this video. I would like also that you make a video to explain how to code an used cluster after being virginized 🙂

Fantastic video Vladimir. Unfortunately, my cluster broke and my mechanic temporarily put a non-virginized cluster (with very high mileage relative to the actual mileage) in the car. Neither the VIN nor the mileage were corrected on that cluster so neither of them match the car's VIN or true mileage. I'm wondering if the non-matching VIN may have saved me from having the DME and lighting control module being reset with the cluster mileage. Can you comment on this? If the mileage has indeed been reset by the cluster is there a way to fix this?

You are great at your work man !! One question, how do tou identify which chip is the eeprom from any board?

Hi What is difference from videos of other guys that that use R270+ programer and modify data only in left chip?

I like this man. 😅 Tito! He's don't haw problems with sharing experience with potential no loyalty concurrent He just sad yo my guys 👦 bujrum 😀 It's so easy and you "probably can" do this by yourself, just be "little" careful and don't worry be happy :) And don't l miss something *After reading again ...And also in the 🎶

Clearly in your video it is marked as "160WT" eeprom which is not the same as "35160WT" therefor you are using the inxcorrect adapter for that eeprom

Hi , i have the same cluster but when i've opened my board is smaller and i do not find the chip

Great job ❤❤❤

I have retrofitted a 6WA after it was virginized. It also works, so far the seller told me I don't have to code anything on the car? Is that correct or do I have to add the FA/VO afterwards? What would happen if I entered the 6WA in the FA/VO and coded it anyway?

Is it possible to read eeproms without desoldering on 6WB cluster with adapters.

Great video and really informative! Just a small clarification regarding your explanation about hexadecimal numbers. You mentioned right around the 13:05 mark that the value 0xFF is equal to 0, which isn't accurate. In the hexadecimal numbering system, a single digit can represent values ranging from 0 to 15. Unlike decimal numbers, which only have digits ranging from 0-9, hexadecimal numbers extend that by including the first six letters of the Latin alphabet (A-F) as additional digits. In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F, where 'A' is equivalent to 10 in decimal, 'B' to 11, and so forth up to 'F', which is equivalent to 15. So, when you look at a one-byte hexadecimal value like 0xFF, it's actually equal to (15 * 16^1) + (15 * 16^0), which calculates to 255 in decimal notation, not 0. The representation for the decimal number 0 is consistent across binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal numbering systems. In all of these systems, zero is always zero. In the case of hexadecimal, it could be written as 0x0, 0x00, or 0x0000, but it's always equivalent to the decimal number 0. I hope this clears up any confusion! Keep up the good work on your videos! -- a fellow Bimmer nerd

I have imported my f20 from Japan. It initially had KMP instrument cluster, but I bought a donor to swap the speed dial, so now after changing FOs and coding ECUs in esys everything works fine: the radio, tacho in miles, language and etc, BUT the LIMit controller, ECO PRO and seat belt reminder still shows in KMP. Could tell me what I have missed so far, please 🙏?

Great Job Vladimir!

Круть! Интересен подобный материал! Так держать, Владимир!

Обнуляю приборки также в гараже, теми же программаторами. P.S. научился у Тебя :)

As always GREAT tutorial, really very good job ! In topic of cluster reprogramming do you know if it is possible to reprogram F30 (6WA) USA cluster into EU one? I mean mls to kmh during setting a CruiseControl speed. Do you guys do such a things ?

Thank you sir, really appreciate you sharing your knowledge

What is the difference in the 2 modes on the 35160 chip? Thank you for your videos!

Thank you for your informative video, I bought the carprog set from Aliexpress, can I use it?

Hi, as always, the video is interesting. Your opinion about the cgdi programmer copes with such tasks better than vvdi-prog

Hi I am working on cluster with eeprom 93s56, do you know how to virginize (mileage and VIN), thanks

So if I buy the cluster with lower milage on it then I just need to plug it?

Great video explanation! Question, if you change clusters do your old keys work or does some further work need to be done?

Hello Vladimir, I have just came across your channel and instantly fell in love, thank you so much for such great content, specially this one here, about virginizing the instrument cluster prior to retrofitting, now, a quick question if you please, do you know the codes for the EEPROMs on the BMW F15 (x5, Year 2017) instrument cluster? Or will any 8-pin EEPROM will work just fine? I bought a used car and the previous owner did a nasty job on the instrument cluster by removing the EEPROM all together (instead of virginizing it) and bridged the gaps with wires! Now I want to buy new EEPROMs and have my technician resolder them back to the board, but I want to buy the correct EEPROM, any advice?

When I buy new 6WA/6WB I need to also code VIN to EEPROM?

Hi could you help me regarding my car. So I got a cluster from a f80 and I want to install it in my bmw f30. I got the cluster virignised and plugged it in. I don’t have a most cable yet. But once I plugged it in there is a tamper dot but with my cars kilometres. What must I get done now? For the cluster to work between my car. I know coding is required and the most cable but I think the tamper dot should not be there? Did the person who virignize it didn’t clear the vin?

Hallo! i have a BMW F22 11/2018, i bought a BMW M2 Competition Cluster and got it coded correctly. I put the original Black Panel Cluster out at 48600 km...i drove 430 km with the new cluster...then i decided to sell the car and put the old cluster in....but it does not take the actually KM ( 49046) over...why is this? why dont give the car ecu the new KM to the old original cluster???

Amazing video, I was wondering what soldering iron you are using? also what is the copper you are using to collect the rose alloys?

Hello Vladimir, excellent channel content and tutorials. My F21 2013 cluster is in mpg . Cruise control speed is also in mph .Can cruise control speed be coded to kmh or do I need to swap cluster to kmh.

Can please tell us how to verginize old mgu. I am appreciating your effort.

Hello, what if i change my F30 cluster to not virginized one and try to code it? Would it work?

Hi , i got a full led cluster from 2022 bmw X3 Lci from a donor car. My car is Preface 2021 bmw X3 with digital cluster, i wish to retrofit the donor cluster into my car. Question: will your method in this video work on this cluster? Ill appreciate your help 🙏

Hi, great detailed video thank you! Rose alloy with low melting point has about 25% of lead, you said they use lead free soldering in F clusters.. did you NOT use this rose alloy to solder it back, only to remove it?

Hi. Newer clusters use 35128wt, how do you manage to virginise it? i know they have page-id so cannot be erased..also when you manualy delete vin does it not require checksum correction? thank you

Thanks for the tutorial, now that the cluster is vriginised, I have a question, is it during the coding process that the vehicle's VIN will be transferred to the cluster?

Добрый день!! У меня к вам вопрос, у меня сегодня на g31 панель приборов сдвинулась в бок скорость всё ушло в сторону, что делать?

Hi I bought me a new 6WB and my car is build 2018, do I need to code the cluster in the car or does it work plug and play ?

hi, for the second eeprom 95320,(15:39) why you did not use the adaptor(clip) on the pcb? does the adaptor won't work? need to solder the eeprom on the eeprom pad?

Приветствсую Владимир. Vvdi трет эти микры запросто главное выбрать правильно микру, в вашем случае это не 35160 а 160D и трется она даже без адаптера. Один из немаловажных советов могу дать: нужно фотографировать позиционирование микросхем перед выпайкой - очень полезная процедура :)))

So cool! Would it be possible to flash completely empty EEPROM chips on the board (of the same brand and capacity of course)?

Здрчвствуйте ! На моей БМВ Е46 рестайл 2002года поменяли приборную паннел. Панель взяли тоже от рестайла 2004 года. Поменяли и на ней загорелись лампа отASC и ручник жёлтым цветом. Вроде кодировали . Пробег встал как на родной и без точки. Но лампчки горят. Мне сказали что это панель от машины с системой DSC. А у меня ASC. Поэтому и горят эти лампы. Может не правильно кодировали ? Или всётаки взять микрочип от родной и терепоять на другую панель .

Great video. Rather than solder the 95320, can't you use the socket on the board?

Hi, thanks for the intricate video. is it possible to change mileage of G7, 2020 model?

boss i have a 6bw cluster the eeprom 160 lost all data i read with vvdi prog how i can get a data for our cluster

Да и скажите пожалуйта. Не имеет значения если машина с системой ASC а панель от машины с системой DSC? . Или всётаки искать панель от машины с системой ASC? И спасибо вам за ответы.

Why not just move the chips from the old cluster to the new one?

Vladimir, get BMW CGDI and make a video comparing it to BimTool VVDI. Also CG Pro vs. VVDI prog. Like for this video!

Hi Vladimir, thanks for the video. I found this very useful! I just got a virginized 6WB from my seller. But, after installation and coding, maintenance notification pops and "reset impossible". Is is due to incorrect virginize steps? I am thinking to virginize it again and see if it helps...

в приборка до 2015г только один чип, который легко стирается, но для его извлечения нужно снимать стрелки

*Hi. Looking at the Eeproms, the one that cannot be erased is 160DQ = M35160. I did a BMW M3 the other day and I managed to correct the mileage by choosing 160DQ (Mode 1) on the programmer (CGpro). I don't know why you chose M35160 and not 160D from the menu. Love your video. Just subscribed!!! Keep it up, and thank you for sharing.*

Владимир, такой вопрос: а можно ли поставить приборку от донера, получить эту злощастную красную точку, а потом через какое-то время проделать показанную процедуру и обнулить приборку к нормальному виду. Меня эта точка совершенно не смущает, оригинальную приборку планирую оставить, а купленную потом продавать. По этому не хочется заморачиваться с прошивкой, т.к. в моем городе нет таких спецов :(

Do all clusters have 2 EEPROMS? I have seen some guides that only remove one EEPROM?

Usefull info here. thanks for that. I tested out of curiosity :D. When the Mileage of Cluster is not resetted or is higher then the car's. It shows still the km of the car. And adds 5km to car's mileage every time car started. Car is a f10. not sure how would it be on other models

Hello, can you programm used smart key for BMW G30, 2018. ?

Good Job! Very professional! And your language is like teacher's ))) or cheater's)) (if so more like that)

Hello sir I am 35160 wt cgdi prog read file and 35160 M reples kar sakta hn

I have an e90 cluster and can I just buy another eeprom and replace it without any programming and after that just code it into my car?

Здравствуйте, что может быть? Ребенок игралс с крутилкой айдрайв и теперь при переключении с комфорта на спорт дисплей не меняеться?

Здравствуйте. Приборку расширенную обнулили, привязали. Ошибок нет. При смене на режимы спорт, eko нет никакой анимации, только название режимов меняется. Что посоветуете? Перепрограмировать? G30

Hi great video! I had my cluster changed on my F11 and now the milage first shows 9 miles before increasing to the correct millage (around 88k). Also on every ignition cycle the milage increases by 3 miles without driving it. Is this an issue with how it has been virginised by the seller or how it has been coded by the installer?

Can I send you my cluster so that you can program it ?

Can you just swap EPROMs from one cluster to the other??

very very good can do video for bmw E series

Прошу не много вашей помощи....Понимаю,что не по теме. Бмв ф10 2012 год 528 С блока JBE не выходит сигнал на открытие багажника(серый провод с зеленой полосой)... Вопрос: установлено ли реле в этом блоке,которое подает "+" на замок багажника?и если установлено,то подскажите пожалуйста какое?

hi, can you swap the eprom to another cluster without problems, remove the cluster from the car, remove the eprom and install it in the replacement cluster?

Hello Vladimir, am i able to change 35160wt chip using R270.

If the mileage on my original cluster is higher than the new (used ) one i bought i can keep it without having a mileage tamper light?

А если чип от родной перепоять на на дугую панель то будет работать ?

Автор, не осветил тему насчет ID чипа. Ну и маленькие 5 копеек: first 2 ROWS of eeproms dump, not part or partition.

Will swapping the chip work? F series?

Привет. Я все приборки отправляю одному электрику . Человек имеет оборудование которое позволяет не випаевать И пром. и всю процедуру делает с телефона. Я гуглил чтобы найти такое оборудование но не нашёл. Кто в курсе где купить?

Hello! Used 6WA for BMW with 160D0WT eeprom was read with CG Pro 9S12, i did mileage correction and erased VIN and installed in car. Cluster was coded, no red dot but every time i turn ignition on mileage increases with 5 Km without Red Dot Tamper. Any ideas?

Hello, I think you are using the wrong adapter because cg prog shows that you need to use 35080 and you are using 35160wt?

why just not resolder eproms from original to donor cluster?

Super, nagu alati!

Amazing.

Здравствуйте. Если пробег в приборке меньше, чем на авто, обязательно вин стирать?

Братюнь, а че на непонятном теперь лангвиче вещаешь? Ничего не понятно!

What do you wash with?

Hey man thank you for video! You can do this excellent job in my cluster?

Hi Vladimir, I am writing to you from Spain. I loved your video and I will follow you from now on. I have a problem in my cluster BMW f20 lci 2018 116d Panel Cluster 6wa enlarged black. The battery is discharged while the vehicle is stationary. It gives two error codes and according to the internet it is a combi cluster error that does not let the vehicle sleep and they recommend changing it. My question is can it be reprogrammed? If it is virginized, can it be fixed? My son error codes. 804086 controller kl15WUP shorted to positive. B7F67B kombi incorrect hardware activation line status. I hope you can help me. greetings mate

Здравствуйте Владимир, сделайте пожалуйста видео о том как сделать дубликаты ключей BMW например F серии

eeprom 160d0wt, а пишите как 35160wt ?

Как всегда хорошее и грамотное видео.Но)))

Hola Vladimir te escribo desde España Me ha encantado tu vídeo y te seguiré a partir de ahora. Tengo un problema en mi cluster BMW f20 lci 2018 116d Cluster 6wa ampliado black panel . Se descarga la batería estando el vehículo parado. Da dos error Codes y según internet es un error del cluster combi que no deja que se duerma el vehículo y recomiendan cambiarlo. Mi pregunta es se puede reprogramar? Si se virginiza se puede arreglar ? Mis error Codes son. 804086 controlador kl15WUP cortocircuito a positivo. B7F67B kombi estado de línea de activación incorrecto línea de hardware. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Un saludo compañero

Добрый день! После обнуления приборки 6WA и установки на автомобиль при переключении зажигания добавляется в одометр плюсом 5 км, не встречались с такой проблемой?

sir for normal cluster i

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пож. Как на столе не подключая к авто проверить пробег на приборке g серии?

Super!

FF actually means 255, not 0, 00 is 0.
