How To Code For Digital Speedometer On An E90 BMW Using NCS Expert

In this video I show you how to activate your Digital Speedometer on your gauge cluster on an E90 or E92 BMW.
We are using the INPA software suite to do this. Specifically NCS Expert.

i like your videos because there longer, and your not skipping steps in your video. meaning the video is not being cut. I dont see why people cant just skip head if they dont like it. thanks for making them and keep it up.

[@VehicularDIY]

Thank you for that.

[@lsvPEANUT]

I appreciate the video man! The long way of explaining it is cool because i can pause and double check all my work etc!! Got me Digital speedo working on a 2006 e60 using your exact method! Again, thank you so much!

[@xr500t]

Awesome tutorial! I'm getting ready to code my active headlights out ( I got aftermarket headlights) and so far, you're the only person that's thorough enough for me to trust! So, I'll be binging on the rest of the coding videos to make sure I get it right!

[@maxnix346]

You have the best coding tutorials. I do not understand what could possibly be negative about this coding lesson.

[@_mitric_n]

This is just awesome! I like that you explain everything in details. A new subscriber!

[@yosemitesam283]

Hi you make great informative and detailed videos, when you're new to coding like me this is very helpful and really appreciated. Keep it up Thanks Joe

[@roveit2]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge!

[@Markstevos]

Thanks again for the video. Very informative and clear explanations. For the record I think your style of showing how you do things the safest way is spot on!

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks! Better safe than sorry.

[@RajVeer87156]

When I load profile there's no Revtor...only Code Control Unit, allow ZCS Reading and Expertmode...Am I missing anything?

[@larrables]

New to your channel and definitely subscribed. Best e90 diy's on KZbin. Keep it up

[@antoniobmw]

Thank you, worked for me. I would recommend making tutorials as short as possible because we are following your steps with ignition on

[@juliorodriguez2389]

great stuff easy to follow -THUMBS UP!

[@miroslavatanasov5589]

Thanks mate you are the best. Keep goin, i was so scared to code my own. Thanks again

[@ktm640lc4BGD]

man you have perfect videos. thanx!!

[@kzejnullahu]

Thank you.Worked on E91 LCI

[@y0manda]

Thank you. Worked on my e60

[@SamBao]

Haha first tutorial I actually followed through on!

Thanks men its works

[@lluisvila9231]

Hi thannk you for your video. Really helpful. I have a 1 series E87, but it is not on the list of chassis of revtor's profile. Do I still have to choose E89 chassis?

[@BulldogorBlackwatch]

Does this stuff work on the 2007 E92? I found out that the Carista app doesn’t work for coding in features like the digital speedometer and rolling up the windows with holding the FOB’s lock button on 2007 E92’s.

[@t-rexautovlog3404]

Please make a video on how to set up your laptop to connect to obd2, cause i keep on having errors or can’t connect to obd2.

[@Bad_m340i]

Hey brother i was wondering if you could help me code my 135i cluster to accept a 180mph overlay. Any help would be appreciated

[@DamnPapiJC]

Did you change the colors of your speedometer with coding or no?

[@kasiaprzybylski6117]

How do you learn to do this stuff? I have the software but I don't know how to use it at all yet. How do i access a manual or anything?

[@username1956]

is it possible to get get KMH instead of MPH?

[@PM382]

to code the mirrors are the same steps changing only the name of the module? Thanks

[@albrrt430]

Is it possible for digital readout in kms and cluster in mph, ?

[@EZBR]

FYI: I was getting an Error: COAPI-2021 msg at the "CoapiReadSgGetFswPsw" part. If this happens to you, go into device manager, right click on COM1, Advanced and changed the Latency to 1 (it's probably 16 by default) and that fixed my issue :) Using Windows 10 64-Bit myself

[@VehicularDIY]

MrEsber Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ramazanpacar2740]

How to get the gear show on the dash? Can you please make video for that. I'm extremely interested in my e90 330d. Keep up the great work

[@VehicularDIY]

Thank you, I actually have a video on my channel regarding that. Look up my Alpina transmission tune video.

[@ericnguyen2217]

hey man i have a question, what DCAN cable do you use? do you have a link to it as well because i hear most cables from amazon/ebay don't work

Just ordered this one on Amazon, was $27 and works perfectly. LZLRUN INPA K+CAN K+DCAN Car Diagnostic Tool Cable OBD USB Interface for BMW with FT232RL NCS Coding Winkfp Tool32 Programing

[@m5pat]

was wondering if there is a reason you select e89 instead of e92 or e90 considering the e89 is z4?

[@VehicularDIY]

That's just how the software is setup, I guess the electrical underpinnings are the same.

[@outrageuk]

👌

[@twinturbo8304]

I don't have that computer or the cable. I would like some content on what all the sensors do and what the computers do

[@einstein057]

I did this to my 09 328i and now I feel like It messes up the sport mode. It will kick out of the selected gear and go back to drive mode after just a few seconds. Also I can’t remember if it’s supposed to show D/S in the cluster like my e60 did.

[@VehicularDIY]

It should only do that if you manually shift your streering wheel paddles while in D mode. Otherwise if you keep it in DS it should hold your gear.

[@MoAli72]

How do I get it so the gear displays like yours (D1, D2, D3, etc)?

[@yuyaochang5143]

Hi I’m your fans! I have a question for you I bought an old speedometer and installed it, but the driving information and gear position cannot be displayed. I have a bimmercode, how can I use it to program it?

[@igorhirdes4734]

It's possible to do that with a ordinary ODB2 Bluetooth ELM327 reader?

[@VehicularDIY]

No you need the K+D Can cable to code.

[@igorhirdes4734]

Vehicular DIY thanks!

[@edweigman9683]

I tried this, but the MPH was not accurate as all. the speed jumps all over the place and says I'm moving when I'm stopped. We have two 2011 E90's and the result was the same on both. Any ideas?

[@VehicularDIY]

Hmm perhaps because you have a later model the kombi module is slightly different. Is the text bigger than what mine appears to be?

[@edweigman9683]

The text appears to be the same.

[@thetjx2]

how did you put the gear in the dash on D?

[@BiggieBanaan]

Tupac all day

[@markfarrier1711]

Is this same procedure for e60

[@VehicularDIY]

As far as I've been able to tell it's similar but sorry I can't say for sure. I'll probably do this on my X5 and will report back if its the same procedure. I have heads up display on that car so it's kind of pointless but it wouldn't hurt anything.

[@maltiveru]

Can you switch between mph and km ?

[@SamBao]

I dunno if you already tried it, but yes. You can do it in the config menu on the head unit

[@marcangel08]

Followed your video exactly, long story short... car doesn't start. Dashboard flickers and motor tries to turn over but doesn't. Can you please help?

[@VehicularDIY]

Marcus Fletcher Sounds like you just ran your battery down while Keeping the ignition on. Try boosting it.

[@marcangel08]

Thank you for replying, I will keep you posted on changes

[@fishunter007]

So? What has happened?

[@lomparti]

What happened man?

[@guillermozavala315]

How well is the car running at 169k miles. ? I had to dump a lot of money on mine right at 100k

[@VehicularDIY]

Guillermo Zavala I'm at 177K now, running great. Nothing has come up but if it does I'll be sure to post a video on it.

[@pixlplague]

I got rid of my E90 at 215k km; most critical stuff was working fine still, but I had some nasty expensive failures around the 160k (100k miles) mark like the starter, radio amp and ignition coils that the crook dealership where I used to go refused to change under warranty...

[@bikooig]

after coding my left window not working any idea?

[@VehicularDIY]

Hmm I wouldn't think they would be related. It doesn't respond at all?

[@vb7200]

There is a much much easier way to do this.. You can get a Carly OBD2 reader that connects to your phone via Wi-Fi, and you do all the coding from a Carly Pro app on your phone. All you have to do is go through the list of things you want in the app, and turn them on and off. Definitely a little pricey, but much simpler than this

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah Carly can do some coding but not all so I don't use it.

[@vb7200]

Yeah I could see it not being able to do some more advanced things, but for simpler things it definitely has it's advantaged

[@yosemitesam283]

I was looking at Carly, but £44 for the app and then £55-£66 For the dongle on eBay was a lot of cash when you look into using NCS, a bit more involved but with the help of clear videos like this I'm now confident enough to give it a go

Nice maybe someone already coded it in.

[@JackRR15]

Wow and I thought coding was all this complicated shit. You just take the file from the car change what you want and put it back. And with NCS dummy it's even easier and translates ish things for ya.
