Hello.
M5 E39 cars have been produced since the end of 1997.
There were none in 1996.
In order for the tidy to work, you need to rejuvenate your car.
Make your car 1998
The tidy must be encoded with a new feature.

I must coded instrument claster for car 96 year,because signal to gaugages from dme is konventionall,not CAN.I changed manualy FSW_PSW,for exemple "kulmiter temperatur" from CAN,to konventional,but dont work.So I'm wondering if it's possible?

If the cluster expects the info over CAN and the DME won't output that, I don't see it working unless you make something separate to convert the signals from analog to CAN

In inpa there is a reading of values ​​for CAN and analog in instrument claster. For example, the temperature engine in CAN is still 106 degrees, in analog is 10 degrees and it increases during engine operation, but the indicator temperature on the clocks is at max.
