6WB retrofit guide on F25

By Willywi

Disclaimer:
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! I’m not responsible for anything
that could eventually go wrong. Follow all the steps carefully! The instructions
are for KOMBI’s with the 160D0WT chip.

What you need


a used 6WB KOMBI with a mileage LESS then your actual car mileage1

R270 EEPROM Programmer

Hot air station or SOIC 8 Pin Testclip compatible with the R270
Working E-Sys 3.33.x with actual PSDZData for CAFD injection

Working E-Sys 3.27.1 for CODING


E-Net to OBD cable that works with E-Sys

A good car charger/power supply.


Step 1: Removing old cluster from dash
Procedure of removing instrument cluster can be followed by Kies
Motorsports video.

Step 2: Virginize used 6WB cluster (if you bought the cluster new or it’s
already Virginized skip this step)

1. Remove all screw on the back of instrument cluster.


2. Use a trim removal tool to unclip all the clip.
3. Carefully remove this board from cluster
4. Chip that is in red circle in step 3 is the 160D0WT EEPROM
remove it using a hot air gun or use a SOIC test clip compatible
with R270 and place it on R270 adaptor in this orientation.

5. Once chip is in place open up R270 software select read chip and
it will prompt you with this menu, select 160D/35160 and click ok.
Then press read, after EEPROM read success save original Bin file.
6. Erasing mileage off 160D0WT.
a. Click on M35080/160D under Advanced Function it will
prompt you with this window select 160D/35160 option and
click read, this will read out current mileage on this chip.
After current mileage is read click on Erase Odometer
option.

You should get a write success window pop up after odometer


erase. Read mileage again and make sure current mileage is 0 if
not click on Type2[5x] under DAS Odometer and erase again.
7. Bench testing 6WB cluster
a. Connect 12V Power supply on PINS 1&2 to +12V and PINS
7&8 to GND (-). Make sure the pins are well isolated from the
neighbor pins!
b. After confirming mileage is erased and no red dot, reinstall
the cluster and install it to the car.

Step3: Coding instrument cluster


Make sure car is hooked up with a charger before coding.
Open up E-sys with PSDZdata full click on Expert Mode select coding.
on FA section load the F18 FA I’ve uploaded and click on edit.
Modify Vinlong to your own Vin number and Zeitkriterium(Vehicle build
date) After you modified Vin and build date save this FA and go back to
coding and inject CAFD into DKOMBI.

Injecting CAFD:
Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Left-Click on DKOMBI => Click
on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level shown
=> Select OK => Right-Click on DKOMBI (the ECU itself not the
underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

After CAFD is injected turn on the car and make sure RPM gauge and
gear select gauge is working properly. If you get fault code or some
function isn’t working correctly modify F18 VO according to your car’s
VO.

Step 4: Modify FDL


Since this is a F18 CAFD we will need to modify its FDL to make sure fuel
range have correct perimeters.

Load modified F18 FA and activate it then edit FDL,


Right-Click on the ECU CAFD and select Read Coding Data => Expand the
CAFD Folder by clicking + symbol => Right-Click on the CAFD file and
select Edit =>
Modify 3005 Tank with the following:
After you’ve modified Tank FDL install back old cluster and make sure
fuel range matched 6WB fuel range.
If you have CIC head unit with navigation you must modify
NAVI_NBT_ENABLE to Kein_nbt, if you have NBT skip this step.

If you want M-performance logo go to BMW_LOGO and MPM_LOGO


modify it to whatever you want.

If you want Power meter in sport mode code this:


MOTORLEISTUNG_ENABLED to aktiv.
