All Models with a M35080 Chip

Use this Board and the special clip: M35080

This chip is used in all E46, E38, E39 and X5 after Model 2001. The model 2001
you recognize by the new OBD II-socket in the car interior, instead of the BMWtypical round socket in the motorroom.
This chip can be placed only upward, not downward.
So there are two possibilities to set the wanted value:
You can buy a new cluster (with a new chip inside), if you put
this cluster in a car he will get the original KM. This cluster
will be counted from 0 to the wanted value. This happens
about the plug 912
The original Chip M35080 will be replaced through a new one.

this is 9A 00 03 6F).
Go to the position 0ED. Compare to the values above. In the example it is

The BSI-versions V2 and V3 you recognise by the same two values in the
data-base. After reading and saving the BSI-Data, look at the data-base.
The Tacho Universal should show a data-base similar to the example database. Go to the position 042 (V3 position 04D), write down the data up to
position 045 (V3 up to position 051). Go to the position 0ED (V3 position
10A). Compare these 4 values with the noticed values. In the example
they are the same, so it is a version 2 BSI. If the values are not the dame,
it is a version 1 BSI. If you have identified the version, program 0 as new
value (Adjust KM).

Remove the eeproms from the BSI and from the cluster for programming

If you connect the pins 6 and 8 in the clip you can read the eeproms
much easier (Port 1)

this is 9A 00 03 6F).
Go to the position 0ED. Compare to the values above. In the example it is
the same, so it is a version 2 BSI.
If the values are not the same, it is a version 1 BSI.
If you have identified the version, program 0 as new value

The BSI-versions V2 and V3 you recognise by the same two values in the
data-base. After reading and saving the BSI-Data, look at the data-base.
The Tacho Universal should show a data-base similar to the example database. Go to the position 042 (V3 position 04D), write down the data up to
position 045 (V3 up to position 051). Go to the position 0ED (V3 position
10A). Compare these 4 values with the noticed values. In the example
they are the same, so it is a version 2 BSI. If the values are not the dame,
it is a version 1 BSI. If you have identified the version, program 0 as new
value (Adjust KM).

Remove the eeproms from the BSI and from the cluster for programming

Example: VW Golf4
The Tacho reads out the SERVICE. Now you can check the important
channels for this car (Golf 4 - channels 10, 11 & 12).
Channel 10: Actual Oilservice-value
Channel 11: Actual 30000 Service-value
Channel 12: Actual Year/Day-Service-value
You have to program the channels 10 and 11, the value of the oilservice will be
1-down-counted every 1000km, the Service-value also.
Example:

original KM-value :
New KM-value :

13250km
11250km

The KM-value was corrected down for 2000 km.

The channels shows these values:
Channel 10 : 2
Channel 11 : 17
Also the Service has to be corrected for 2000km, so the car must go to the
service 2000km later. The Golf 4 has the service in 1000km steps (see table), so
the channels must be corrected for 2000 km / 1000 = 2. So you program the
channels 10 and 11 a +2 value as original.
Channel 10 : 4
Channel 11 : 19
Dont program channel 12, because here are the days to the next service. The
Day-Service-value is normally not for programming.
If you want to adjust a channel search the channel with the Cursor-keys and
press the OK-button. On the display you see the old value and you can type
in the new one.
Example:
VAG 2000
The Tacho Universal reads out the SERVICE. If a service is blinking, you can set it off,
by writing a 0 in channel 2. In channel 40 are shown the km after the last
service. For example: The last service should be 3000km ago, then type in
channel 40 the value 30 = 3000 / 100 = 30.
