It was just a thought..............

This is what I had to do to use it, had to set my antivirus to ignore the file location before opening the zip folder. Toaf downloads fine without any issues and uses the same cable.

Or if you're ever heading over past my way I can activate it for you.

I can be installed with third party software such as Phil's toolkit, TOAF, or BMW Scan 1.4 and editing the required byte of information

Yeah it annoys me having to reload it onto IPK’s after using T4 lol

interesting.
I'll need to have a chat with cb750 chris as he set the clocks in my tourer. I got them from a scrap yard so he had to configure them for my car.
Hopefully chris will come onto this thread. I'm not complaining about chris's work just wondering why my saloon does not have the speedo

It doesn't really matter Ian, it isn't done with T4, however if you download Phil's toolkit onto a laptop, suspend the antivirus, then unzip the file and then
enable the digital speedo

Or as others have done, use TOAF to do the same job.

Hi Ian,
As Brian says, the digital speedometer cannot be enabled using the T4.
However when I did your replacement IPK, I coded it in using the t4, then manually enabled the digital speedometer afterwards (as it seems silly not to have the option available).
If you want me to disable it on your tourer, or enable it on your saloon just give me a shout and I will sort you out.
Regards
Chris

I can do it for you Ian using my BMW scanner software I seem to remember I did Simon’s for him too now that I think of it.

Give me a shout after the National Weekend when I’m a little less busy.

EDIT: just seen Chris’s post, so looks like he’ll sort you out.

Good question Ian! It was a few years ago now and it's hard to remember as I've had T4 connected on several occasions, but Reebs says it was him and he may well be right (he usually is!). I did not realise that it was done with a separate piece of equipment or I was told and I've forgotten. What stuck in my mind is that it's been lost a few times after diagnostic sessions and restored using only T4, hence my confusion.
