Hi, in your video you did not show the clearing of the VIN number from the other 95320wt IC? Does this programmer allow you to read and write to this IC?
Hey, I have problem with my 6wa, speedo needle isnt working. Can i just swap PCB from my old 6wa to other one with working needle motor? Im trying to avoid coding 🙂
never attempted to do such a thing ... transfer the second board and see what you are able to do ... the memory for mileage and VIN is the second board ... maybe they will work
Quick question please. Can you fit a 6wa that has previously been used on a diesel car on a petrol car? Just wondering if the diesel inscription on the fuel gauge will not remain visible.
if the cluster is Virgin you only do the coding with esys. if you need to virginise it you will have to remove chip and do the clearing of the VIN and mileage
@@ridhaboutiba9821 some forums say that if Mileage of 6wa/6wb is lower than mileage of car, after coding the cluster will pick correct mileage. Never tried that way. always virginised it.
@@BestCarMods Oke i need to viginige a 6wb. I ordered a r270 and a new chip. so i will try this first when it comes in. Because i can only read about problems with erasing the chip. I have read that the original adapter can erase the chip when you connect a 5v on the R270. I will let it know when it worked.
@@BestCarMods are you sure I was reading about 2 short and 2 long vin locations (a) Replace (not insert !!!) byte 70 0F (1 pair) with "FF" (long VIN) (b) Replace all bytes from 80 00 to 80 0F (the whole line) with "FF" (long VIN) (c) Replace bytes 590 0E and 590 0F (2 pairs) with "FF" (short VIN) (d) Replace bytes 5A0 00 to 5A0 04 (5 pairs) with "FF" (short VIN)
@@greatoxcroft5692 at this time i have more than 10 retrofits done ... only one chip i remove. delete mileage, delete 2 vins (one short one long), re solder EEPROM and code to car.
so theoretically, could you swap the eeprom from the old cluster to the retrofit cluster? also thanks for the video ive wanted to know how to do this for a while. great stuff.
Although I did not test it personally, I would say No you can't swap the EEPROMs. The main reason will be that you are technical swapping eeprom from different types of cluster and the info is structured differently. You might be able to swap 6wa to 6wa , or 6wb to 6wb.
@@nourjebokji7054 you can find it in the description. Also if you are from outside of the UK it might cost more to ship the cluster than to do it locally.
Short, sweet, and down to the point! Exactly how I like it :) thank you!

I do only one EEPROM.
@@BestCarMods Can you clarify this please? How can we solve VIN mismatch issue? Coding would take care of it? Thank you

what if i have a small plate at the back of the cluster , and i can't find the eepron cip
for a fee I can offer detailed consultancy. right now I don't know what you are trying to do or what cluster you have. 8hello@bestcarmods.com

Never tried it, but all the documentation that I read points to it not being possible. Also you have different rev range.
Hello, what if i install cluster that is not virginized to my car and try to code it? Could it work?
what do you think?
Are we able to reprogram the eeprom on the board for eeeprom attached to R270? Can we do it without a custom board for 160DOWT ?
Never tried the standard R270. as many forum post were saying that is not reliable.
Do you know where I can now buy this board? They produce it in Ukraine, so I do not know how it is currently available due to the war
@@adrian32395 send the guy a message and maybe he still delivers
Can you use a ch341 kit so you don’t desolder ?
never tried
How we change the mileage after that?
it will automatically update to the mileage of the car
I have the basic cluster and I want to upgrade to 6WA. Will the coding work without clearing the old mileage and VIN?
No. You need to delete at a minimum the VIN if the mileage is lower on the cluster. Ideally you delete VIN and mileage.
@@BestCarMods I need to do a simple vin reset nothing more! How long does somehting like that typically take? Or cost
@@movesmartly8931 depends on the manufacturing year of the cluster. send me a message on IG and we see from there
А второй eprom (95320) чем прочитать? R270 не читает ее.
В ней ведь тоже хранится вин
Can the R270 alone erase the mileage or you cannot do it without the custom board?
The standard r270 I had was not able to erase the 160d0wt chip

Hi Bestcarmods great 6wa and 6wb video's!
Can i program a 160D0WT without the custum board when i buy a new 160D0WT
Never tried it on a new chip. Usually that board helps with erasing the mileage.

@@rsturboracing I have never replaced the chip. Only written edited info on it. But I always desolder it.
I thought there were 2 chips to modify data on 95320 and 160
that is also what i read on some forums, but it works by changing only the 160.

yes. You FF the VIN address. and i prefer using HxD editor. You can do it with other editors also.
