WTB: Need a 4.6is instrument cluster ASAP
So, need a 4.6is (silver face with oil temp gauge) ASAP. Thanks in advance.

How were you going to tackle the coding of that new cluster? It still might be easier to repair your original cluster by someone who's done pixel repair before.

Okay so I received the cluster and it all works great, EXCEPT for the fuel gauge, and even the LCD display “range” section. The fuel gauge shows empty with the light on, and the LCD display reads “ RANGE —- MLS “
I realized by going into manual mode that there’s 6 gears, so it must be a 4.8is cluster. I was told they’re the same as the 4.6is clusters (aside from the extra gear of course). I can actually change this back to the 5 speed only piece from my original cluster. I hope the fact that it’s a 4.8is part in a 4.6is isn’t what’s causing the problem though..? I guess we will see tmrw when my tech programs the cluster to my car.

It needs to be coded to your VIN/mileage if it will work at all being from a 4.8. Do you have a mileage tamper dot? Qsilver has a nice printout of all the rules applying to how the different modules communicate mileage to each other and what is/not allowed when swapping clusters. There was a guy who could code the cluster for you on another forum but his name escapes me now. Maybe a Google search could find it.

Didn’t realize the dot, but now that you mention it there is a dot on the mileage trip screen above the main lcd display.

On some cluster versions VIN can be changed with BMW scanner (P.A.Soft). Some clusters have EEPROM which has to be programmed with prommer. Another alternative is to swap this chip from the original cluster. This chip has both VIN and mileage saved on it. It's 8 legged ST microelectronics chip. Unfortunately that chip is on the front side of the board so you would have to take the cluster apart like when doing pixel repair. |
