DIY: Z3 Non-M gauge cluster to Z3M S54 Conversion

[terra]

JBanzhaf thanks. i just ordered one to play with. could you please upload the EEPROM.
Do you know what byte to change to change it from Miles to KM?


I'm going to integrate Gague s in mine.



This will give me Oil temp, Level, Logging, coolant etc.

This will be a much cleaner solution. Not to mention the convenience of not turning your head to look at other gauges.


terra are these CAN Messages applicable to MSS54HP (CSL 0401/0301) as well?

Yeah those should be generally accurate for the mss5x

Just to give an update and a few tips.

I got the eeprom flashed.

ended-up removing it as i didn't have a clip.

X-prog is not able to flash the 93CS56.
It doesn't have the option to clear the "Protections Bit" that enables to writing the entire eeprom.

You can use X-porg for the external coding chip C46.

Ended up using UPA programmer to flash the CS56 Chip.
Tips...
Read Protect Register
Record the protection bit *DA*.
Clear Protect Regiser
Write the Eerpom
Write Protect Register


I have ordered the Gague S. and a custom M S54-Z3 gauges from Venoxy.

Its keeps the s54 m z3 tachometer scale but has the oil temp cutout for gauge s.

If anyone is interested in changing the coolant gauge buffer, it start at 0xF4.
there isnt much of a buffer on the S54 EEPROM compared to the non m.

Did you receive these things yet?
I am doing the same thing.

Waiting for my venoxy faceplate before continuing to build, but I am not sure yet how to wire in the Gauge.S into the cluster.

Yes. although i haven't had time to continue. I'd like to reuse unused pins on the Cluster PCB and install external wifi antenna.
Hopefully i find some time within this month to finish it up. Although I'm not really in a rush.
Here is how it sits currently.

Nice! keeping it inconspicuous with the black faceplate and no M-logo.
