As the title says, this post will answer if we can change km on BMW instrument clusters 2001-2018 by Xhorse VVDI2 programmer.
VVDI2 supports the following types so far:
- EWS1
- EWS2
- EWS3
- EWS4
- CAS1 (0K50E)
- CAS2 (2K79X)
- CAS3 (0L01Y)
- CAS3+ (0L01Y/ 0L15Y/0M23S)
- CAS4 (1L15Y)
- CAS4 (5M48H)
- M35080 (E – Series cluster)
- F – Series cluster
Main menu path:
Go to home menu>> Select Special function>> File Change KM
Main steps to change EWS/CAS mileage with VVDI2:
Download the corresponding EEPROM data
Input the new km
Click ‘Change KM’
Save the file and write back.
How to adjust mileage on CAS1/CAS2/CAS3/CAS3+ encrypted version?
- Record the KM shown in the instrument, take instrument away from car, avoid synchronize KM with CAS
- Set CAS KM to 0km (Change KM via OBD or File Change KM, select the corresponding CAS version to change)
- Read instrument EEPROM dump with BDM programmer, the EEPROM memory chip is M35080
- Select File Change KM -> M35080 Instrument and load EEPROM dump saved in step 3
Note: There are 2 computing methods: try to use the different method. Check the old mileage value in which one closes to the original one in step 1, and decide to choose the corresponding method.
- Input new KM
- Press button “Change KM” and save new EEPROM dump
- Write new EEPROM dump to M35080 chip
- Install the instrument back to the car
- Finished
How to adjust mileage on F chassis (CAS4)?
- Record the KM shown in the instrument, take instrument away from car, avoid synchronize KM with CAS
- Set CAS KM to 0km (Change KM with File Change KM, select type with mask, support 1L15Ymask and 5M48H mask)
- Read instrument EEPROM dump with BDM programmer
- Select File Change KM -> F-Series Instrument and load EEPROM dump saved in step 3
- Input new KM
- Press button “Change KM” and save new EEPROM dump
- Write new EEPROM dump to M35080 chip
- Install the instrument back to the car
- Finished
In a word, just confirm the BMW instrument type of your car. If it belongs to the type supported by Xhorse VVDI2 key programmer, then you can change mileage using the steps above.
