I'm retrofitting chrono rpm/speed onto my 2006, are there any check engine/error lights displayed on the factory navigation?

My plan was to only use the bezel for fuel level, and put my tablet where the factory display would be but I dont want to miss out on any error lights

I already have a separate headunit for audio/bluetooth

 

You need ALL parts from a chrono car....warning lights are split between all 3.

 

on a factory nav car, what errors are displayed in the nav unit itself? I'm not sure how the wiring is setup on these yet, just started to dig

chrono gauges will be here in a few days

 

ahh I think I figured it out, there's a display above the nav lcd too, I plan on retaining that and only replacing the nav lcd itself

 

The positions of the lights are different....
You need too swap all 3.
Only swapping 2 will leave you missing some and having some doubles...when programmed, it will not work...just cause the sizes are the same does not mean they are interchangeable.

 

what do you mean all 3? I thought the nav computer itself was unrelated to the vin encoding, the housing around it however, does have a vin & miles encoded onto it, and is coded to work with chrono gauges

only problem I might have, the vin/miles may still be unchangable on these center units, checking with the bmw nav forums

 

Speedo, tachometer, AND CENTER unit...ecu might be needed and BCM, but there is a place in Canada that can recode them, even maybe one of the guys down at helix.
Just swapping the center unit is not enough.....while the speedo and tach LOOKS the same on the non-nac cars, the warning light positions are different .

You say you are doing a chrono pack car. But saving the NAV unit?

 

I was gonna swap all of that. Single to dual gauge and center to nav

 

I think the issue is the dual gauge pod is slightly different between the Chrono pack and NAV, so you need to make sure you get a NAV dual gauge pod to match your NAV center cluster if not buying as a set.

 

realoem shows them as the same
