I see... i already have the latest bmw tis, etk, eba and wds installed. But i guess the coding software should be a bit more complicated. I think i saw a post somewhere about how it works. I found a BM54 on ebay for only 200 EUR ( so far... there still are a few hours to go on the bidding ) unopened. So i guess i should get the wiring harness ASAP. After i get the wiring harness how will i test the systems? I suppose i need to hook up the wiring harness to the battery + and to mass and then connect the monitor and computer. About the high obc...yeah... as i saw the retrofit will work without it...but some functions wont be available. The main problem is i dont think a new cluster will be that easy to find. I dont think they make them anymore ( can anyone correct me? ) and used ones cant be recoded.
Thank you for the feedback!
