BMW Z4 E89 Digital Cluster Upgrade Installation - Part 1

[@BMWZ4Mods]

A QUICK UPDATE** I hoped to have my review video uploaded by now, but I want to add some more info into it. Also I'm awaiting the update USB cable, that was missing from the package, to arrive so I can show you how to set the E89 Z4 image on the centre of the screen. This is being developed as I type so should be with me soon, and is specifically designed for our cars! I'm also out of the country for the next couple of weeks so, all being well, I'll get this review with all the extra stuff in it out just after I return 👍 Thank you all and see you soon.

[@kevinmarshall9274]

Hi David, I would like to do the same. Is there a download and 'update' required? If it helps I can ask for the same to help speed it along :) Hopefully there is a white car version..

[@TomasitoRivera]

Thank God you make videos, for the Z4 i just got it, and i wasn't finding much help to tune it, and then find this.

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Well I'm glad you find them useful 👍

[@thorstenwestheiderphotogra7722]

As cool as this might look, I'm staying with the old cluster, it just fits the car so well and also I'm not going to cut away any plastic from the dashboard, even if no one would ever notice.

Really informative. I’ve been driving with this in my 3 series for a few days and haven’t done half of the setting changes that I should have done. I’ll go back on and change them today, the fuel tank thing is important as I didn’t do that One thing I would say is before installing this dash, you should check what the service intervals are set at the the original dash in place. So if there’s only 2,000 miles left for your brake fluid service for example, you should write that down and program it in to the new dash. When I installed this cluster, it told the I drive that all my service intervals were now set to the year 2106!! I’ve had to put my oem cluster back in, and make a note of when the service intervals are. I also didn’t know about getting this set to manual. Really handy video thanks for taking the time to do it

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Glad you've found it useful for cross-model 👍 Re the fuel tank settings, please note the settings I used are for the E89 tank specs and not the E9x series. These specs "should" be correct from the factory for your tank size, but if you have any issues then contact your supplier who should be able to tell you the correct sizes to input 👍

[@78jonybravo]

@@BMWZ4Mods hiya, I’m struggling to find reliable tank size information on my car. Where did you find the tank size and reserve tank size for your z4?

[@78jonybravo]

is it in L or gallons? @@BMWZ4Mods

@@78jonybravo it's litres. We'll that's what I set it in, but my readout on the screen is in gallons, as this is swappable in settings.

25 minutes ago and already in my reccomended feed. Well, guess I'll give it a watch and see what it looks like.

Hi, big fan from Thailand is here 😊😊 Love all your video, especially this one. If you have a plan to visit Thailand, let me know.

[@Alex-kz1rw]

I was waiting for it sooo long 😍❤

[@Alex-kz1rw]

Will their be an update in the future for Apple Car Play integration? And/or will it work together with the Android Screen? 😊 thank you so much for your good and informative videos 🙏🏻

[@JohnParker-jp3ml]

Hi, ex pat in Cape town. I fitted the cluster and working fine but noticed the door info is wrong when you open the drivers door it lights up the pass door. also theme selection does not change bottom right when selecting others.

[@markwins22]

Hi just fitted this to my e90 everything works fine apart from when I open the door it shows me the opposite door example open driver door the display shows passenger door. I’ve been through the settings 100 times and I can’t forget this out. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@samuelsfu]

When you post the 2nd part, I'm planning to upgrade mine.

Second video now live.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipTCgpmreMuZg5I

[@dzonikg]

I put hybrid option On to see what it does and it put efficedynamic 0% instead off battery voltage ,i turned off but it still stay "efficendynamic 0%" so i dont have voltage anymore ,i guess its some bug ,is there any way to reset a cluster

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Alas, I can't say as I've not come across this. I did do this, but it went back to what it was previously. I would suggest contacting your supplier to see if they have a solution.

[@Diegoale2000]

Ran to this video as soon as it popped up!

[@FredClausen]

I just did this install in my E89. Was an absolute nightmare. I’m curious to see how a real pro does this and how bad I cocked the job up

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Was yours this version (ie; Chinese supplied) or the ID4Motion version?

[@FredClausen]

@@BMWZ4Mods ID4Motion. Their directions/video on the E89 was seriously lacking

[@78jonybravo]

@@FredClausen with the id4 I think you have to cut something out to make it fit…?

[@FredClausen]

@@78jonybravo so much cutting and the id4 motion directions were non-existent for e89s. I had to figure it out myself

[@jasonjenkins471]

Hi mate I have a BMW Z4 e89 2013 M Sport. Please can I ask you. Where did you get ur digital Cluster. Thanks mate Jay from South Wales. P. S was it easy to set up. Coz I'm not good with things like this. 👍

[@BMWZ4Mods]

@jasonjenkins471 direct link is in the video description , and all setup is covered in the video. Also, check out the second video with my thoughts, again link in description.

[@m32mikestu]

Wish somebody would do this for the e85

[@nisaja5]

I just bought this cluster. How do I reset the tire pressure? I keep getting a low tire pressure warning. Can’t reset it

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Did you enable it in the second (0169) Factory Settings page, under System Settings menu?

[@marknarraway5551]

great video...looks great - but to expensive from me,,, 😞

[@khaledl990-10]

There is KM or only miles? And i have problem in the key when i try to open the car from far away not work, i tried to change the battery but still same problem it’s work only when I put it on the front glass on mirror.? If you can help me with this problem. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Kph & Mph are both supported, as demonstrated at 32:15 in the video. As for your key not operating properly. There are two types of key, standard, where you press the buttons and have to have the key in the slot to start the car. The key has a built-in battery that is charged while in the slot. And Comfort Access, where you have keyless open Lock/Unlock of the doors and keyless start. This has a replaceable battery. This type can also work with the fob buttons and start with it in the slot. As to why it's only working close to the car I can't say without physically checking it out.

[@Supreme40x]

I would love seeing this for the classic E85 to upgrade

[@Supersniper884]

I have the Same Cluster for My BMW 1 Series F20 and i can Not Change the Shift From automatic to manual and the Vehicle in the Middle i also can Not hidde do you have and ideas

[@BMWZ4Mods]

As for Auto/Manual, all the info I have is in the video with the code you need. Failing that, then you'll have to contact your supplier. As for the car image, I'll have a review video coming soon with the updated info in it for the car image etc.

[@laurinkraemer4880]

You need to update the cluster to the new firmware which you can get from your supplier. Then you'll be able to change between manual/automatic.

[@greatboomy08]

My mileage (odometer) is slightly off. Can this be adjusted somehow? I did not find the option were to do it. Thank you

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Go to 25:39 in the video and I explain it from that point 👍

[@Supersniper884]

Is in your Cluster in the Middle a Car Picture Not because on the Website there we can buy is a Picture with the Car in the Middle and in your Video Not ? Are the Vehicle hidden in the Cluster From you or is this Picture on the website older ?

[@BMWZ4Mods]

In my review video, coming soon, I'll detail how to add the E89 picture. This will be a specific update for our Z4's 👍

[@Supersniper884]

When you Change the UI to Comfort is the Vehicle in the Cluster?

[@BMWZ4Mods]

No it's not, watch out for my review video coming soon as I'll detail how to get the E89 picture on the screen 👍

[@Supersniper884]

I have the Same but the Code 0181 not Work by me, i have the Same for 1 Series My supplier is the same like yours

[@omarspost]

Is this unit compatible with both LHD and RHD cars?

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Yes it is 👍

[@Diegoale2000]

Would you be able to test with a OBD2 device if it's able to pass emissions testing?

[@BMWZ4Mods]

Sorry not sure what you are asking. This is only a cluster, it has nothing to do with the emissions.

[@Diegoale2000]

@@BMWZ4Mods other cluster replacements (namely id4motion) interfere with the internal emissions checks that BMWs run on ignition. It's not visible during everyday use, but if checked with an OBD2 device certain sensors, like the O2 sensor will show as "incomplete" which makes them not pass US emissions testing... It was a pain to remove my cluster, replace it with the old one and drive it for 50+ miles just to be able to pass my yearly emissions test.

[@BMWZ4Mods]

@Diegoale2000 OK, well thank you for letting me know that, I was not aware. I'll check it and get back to you 👍

[@FredClausen]

@@Diegoale2000 I checked my E89 with the ID4 cluster and I didn’t see any issues. Will Carly show this or am I missing something?

[@hosrow]

Do they make this for 2008 z4?

[@BMWZ4Mods]

In short, no. Or at least not yet anyway, but I wouldn't hold my breath as I doubt they ever will.

[@AutoBeastsZA]

Am i the only one who still prefers the old cluster… as nice as this is but i wud rather keep the old look , jst looks better for me

[@BMWZ4Mods]

I can assure you that you're not the only one who thinks this. There are plenty of owners that just prefer the original clocks, but there are some that like to change stuff. I've gone back to my original clocks, there was nothing wrong with the new ones, they were perfectly fine, but I'd spent money and time changing my originals for OEM cruise control version so I wanted them back in. This was always the intention from the start.

[@Cobrancrx]

I think that roadsters should keep a bit of "retro" look

[@swright2514]

Hi good videos I also have a z4 e89 and have done a couple of mods. Could I share them with you. Kr Steve..

Absolutely no lag at all 👍 It's spot on.

[@creationtools9541]

@@BMWZ4Mods thanks for the quick response. I'm just trying to decide whether I go for the idmotion unit or this one. This is significantly cheaper so it's very tempting. Looking forward to seeing a video with this dash when the car is in motion.

[@kevinmarshall9274]

@@creationtools9541 I've installed the same one as this video, and I have to say that its easier to install than ID4Motion (only a small mod required), just as good quality, and actually very configurable to your personal taste. Go for it!

[@cornel-lazar]

Nope. Just another mod to make the classic style generic and cheap looking? That original dash is so iconic to the E89.

You are indeed correct 👍
