Hi i got F01 6WB cluster has 100k miles car which is going into is a X5 with 101k miles only erasing the vin should be enough to program it to the car? read the 160d0wt eeprom with ACDP but only found 2 short vins  can anyone check this and see if this is good to write back

If the spare F01 cluster has lower milage, it is enough to change/erase VIN.

For the 35160D0WT you find all VIN locations (2x short VIN).

Read also M95320 right to the 35160D0WT. Mostly, there is also VIN stored.

Do you need to remove Vin in 95320?
 I read mixed info, some say you should others say you don't have to as it gets rewritten when you program cluster to the car.

Not remove VIN, you must write the new VIN in to the M95320 also! (if it is found in it)

so I should replace the short and long vin if found in M95320 not put FF?

How about in 160d0wt ? should I put FF or replace the 2 short vins found with the new cars vin?

I'm planing on coding it with Esys wouldn't that write the vin in?

Hmm...
I haven't tried rewriting it to FF but that might work.
Entering the VIN has worked for me so far!

clear all vin, VO code with e-sys, all will be ok no red dot

Cleared VIN but can’t flash with esys getting an error. There was only 2 short found in this eeprom. Any idea what can it be ? Cluster works but has red dot mileage is correct as it was higher than what the cluster had. HUD does not work as well.

I think that there is still an old VIN stored.

Did you found VIN also in M95320?

Attached some useful info for you
