Coding "ALPINA" Style Display

I have done some coding on my F11, but does anybody on here know how to code this?

I have loved the look of the Blue dials since I saw the video of the ALPINA.

I am also nostalgic since my 2005 Volvo V70R had blue dials.

I have been out of programming for a 2 years. Does the G30 require some special serialkey which I have to buy? Or software and plug is all in need to program? Thx

I followed the coding guide on another forum, not sure if you can cross reference links - either way the other forum was bimmerfest.

You need a Token to use E-sys software, but required Launcher generates. There is nothing extra to buy.

Ha ha - yes - i meant the other way round - in terms of a ?vanilla? 5 series displaying the M5 dials and additional accoutrements.

Not seen an f90 dash so dont know if its significantly different hardware wise

F90 and other ///M have different cluster for HUD gear display. But, yes, you can have combinations of F90/Alpine on 6WB.
