Software updates for the e90 digital clusters.

Hello fellow Chinese digital cluster owners. I’m starting this thread to spread some awareness about the digital clusters update files and protocols, so we can collect and share update files in one place.

As of now I found the files for dashboard update 1 and update 2 provided by BAVMODS here.

But when I was digging around I found a .bin file in the e60 forums here (NOT TESTED ON E90!) for updating the protocol version and fixing can bus communication issues such as incorrect mileage when scanning with ista and so on. The version from the person with the e60 after the update is 1293.VO2.L 2023/12/12 I am currently at 1302.V02.L 2023/8/9 which is a bit older Protokoll Version.

Factory codes:
0168 - Advanced fuel settings
0169 - Advanced customization settings
4321 - Update software

This is all I found currently, I am actively trying to find new files by contacting sellers and search the web. I hope this was a bit useful for you guys and I hope to see more people engaging in this topic.

A Google drive folder where I am collecting everything I find here. Updated 11/05/2024

There is a whole discord community about these.
I suggest your join and share what you have over there.

Here is an invite link https://discord.gg/Gb93pTYn

Thank you, I will definitely check it out and if I find something useful I will update the thread to help others!

Update: I joined the discord but I couldn’t find any new information other than what I provided in the op.

I didn't say you will find more information but I just know there is more activity about it on that discord than what you would find here.

Also, it's not just about digital clusters, it's about Android headunits, custom launchers, custom CAN sniffer, general discussion and more.

Any chance I can get a discord invite?

I have one of these clusters and have been unsuccessful in getting the oil gauge to work correctly. I believe it is a software issue and have been looking for some support. Tried multiple updates and looking to see if anyone else had this issue.

What issues do you have with the digital dash so far? I read that people having issues with fuel gauge, codes and service maintenance intervals

I have a similar cluster which I bought from AliExpress Mekede. Does anyone know if this software will work with that one?
They all look the same.

I have this installed on my E90 320d. Few issues that I have seen so far
1. It messes up with the mileage (km/l) calculation and hence the range.
2. The fuel gauge had a problem, but that got fixed once I set the chassis to E. Not sure what is this option, but it does shrink the overall display by about 20% area.
3. It throws an error E716 when I scan using Bimmerlink.
4. Sometimes, it changes the temperature units from C to F. Not always, but it is annoying because my AC unit also shifts to "F"
5. Maintenance intervals have to be re-set and re-entered on this cluster. So that is not a major issue.

So installing this on my 19 F36 would not be viable? I have a 6WA already
