sensible Levanime or anyone else that is knowledgeable with cluster swaps happen to have any info on using Perfekt Toolbox? It looks fairly simple but I don't want to mess something up and need the Eeprom rewiped.

It's very good. It's basically a quick way to code your KOMBI instrument cluster to enable certain features like switch between MPG swing (KVA) and oil temp. Things like that. The author is Mr. Perfekt from the Russian forum drive2.ru

Make backup first to file
Then u can experiment

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it's perfect to correct the red line in a M3 cluster. Can it remove the speed error in the analog speedo as well?

Did you use this to code your cluster in the end? Can you do a write up? Is it compatible with windows 10? Drivers need to be installed?

Cheers

Sorry for the delay. The guide is here:

Use google chrome and translate to English if your Russian is a little rusty

Aside from the Russian forum, is there any more information on this software and what info can be displayed in the gauge cluster? I'd love to have a water temp gauge somewhere in the car and things like the Awron parameters screen are a bit expensive.

This isn't possible without a piggy back device.

The only reason why oil temp can be displayed is because both oil temp and mpg are stock options on the same piece of hardware and are built in options within the software.

Water temp was never included as an option and so wasn't programmed into the software.

Thanks for the info. I find it odd that the coolant temp can be displayed by accessing the "secret menu" in the cluster but that there's no easy way to get this info without accessing that menu every time you start the car. Oh well, I guess I'll keep researching other options in that case.
