Japanese to EU Coding advice

BH135 · 12-18-2023, 05:54 PM

Hi, I've recently bought a 2012 (F20) M135i. It's an import to the UK from Japan, unfortunately I have no maps, Bluetooth connectivity is hit and miss and the semi digital instrument cluster is in KML and KM.

I'm after some advice on how I would go about coding the instrument cluster to show MPG and Miles... and whether it can be done before I buy a used UK spec cluster.

And how difficult is it to for a completely inexperienced coder to install UK maps on the iDrive system? Or if there's any coders in the North East of England that would be willing to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Did you find a solution for your Japanese coding issue? I have a 2011 F20 116i in Tokyo and have done a little coding. If i can help I will try. I am not a coding expert but reading Japanese is no problem and we could probably figure it out together. Let me know if you are still looking for help.
