6wb retrofit update

Hey guys, so I retrofit a 6wb to my g30, then I put the old 6wa back to upgrade the system with dealer, after that, how do I upgrade the 6wb since it only have older cafd, do I change my car’s build day to get that newer cafd or how do it upgrade it? Thank you

I’m try to update that 6wb’s software, I understand vo coding, but since now my car’s I- lever is higher with “new” features, So I want to update the 6wb to get that same new feature
