Where can i download psdzdata lite and how do i install it into E-Sys

ur center console software looks so updated and smooth, i wonder if i can upgrade my software on my 2014 f56

Thanks Troy, definitely pushes me to make a few modifications. Appreciate the E-Sys tutorial, looks to be a useful tool. I wonder you mention the Apple Carplay full screen, was this an upgrade of the HU or just an activation on the pre-existing one?

I thought about doing this mostly just to be able to bin the lame petrol gauge, but this looks quite complicated and I wonder whether I could stuff up the coding. Plus, not sure I have all the necessary packs on the car, ours only has the basic satnav centre screen. Cheers for video though

Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2018 Countryman Cooper S so I may do this. However, I’d really like to see a video on the full screen CarPlay you alluded to.

Looks nice, but I'm partial to analog needles. I dislike all the screens that tend to cause night blindness by over inundating the drive with light. I can't drive with a cluster near full brightness and have my set at the 50% mark. In fact, none of my electronic devices are set to full bright...maybe 75%. But at night I turn them down to 25% or less...

@KindaCoolDad

It definitely boils down to preference. The screen technology used in the cluster seems very similar to the transreflective screens on Garmin watches. You can also control the brightness using the dimmer dial.

I live in Peru, but at least 3 months a year I spend in Montreal or Toronto driving a MINI Countryman… I understand what you feel like with the analog needles but actually the orange in the analog is quite bright at night even when dimmed… last 2 trips I have driven a MINI Countryman S with the Digital Panel… and it is actually quite good, not blinding at all…. Now, until you get used to it, it replaces the feel of the MINI… Now I am back home, and I have bought a semi new MINI F60 2020 and I don’t like the analog display anymore Grrr… where can I buy this unit? And I also need the 8.8 head unit for an upgrade… I have Harman Kardon and full NAV but there were ZERO semi new cars available from 2021… Thanks

Fuel type should not matter. After all, the first car the digital clusters were used on was the electric Mini. The instrument cluster simply displays information, regardless if it's digital or analog. Programming with coding for this install simply tells your car what kind of display you have.

Hi Troy, the guide on the forum does not cover all situations… some cars have no HUD. So they will not see the kombi directly…that requires way more steps. And you need to disable update msm vcm to make sure the changes like the new date will not be written to the car. Just warn people before posting esys tutorials. With esys you can potentially brick the car if you do not know what you are doing.

Ooh by the way if you code the HU with 6wb you will see the new virtual dash animations on the hu. And you can code navigation on the kombi and logo….to be able to see the new animations on the hu it needs to be updated to 2021-03 istep. And it needs to be id5. And you dont need to pull the battery out

noooo why did you upgrade to the new digital one? i drove a few mini's with that and it's soo blurry, really doesn't match the BMW ones, or did they upgrade that? is it sharper now? that's one thing that really annoys me. i really prefer the analog one.

Depending on your vehicle's default region, it can definitely show only KM/H. My MINI is a US vehicle, so that's why it's showing both when I switch the system to show KM/H. But this feature is just a quirk of the new digital gauge. On my analog gauges, it would only show one at a time.
