2014+ TFT DIM Retrofit into 2011-2013 S60

[Masteraustin]

Hey everyone,

I decoded my CEM and ran the two wires. However, when I plug in the new cluster nothing happens other than it making some type of noise for a few seconds. Tried reading alot of this thread but its incredibly long.

I have a 2010 S80 and grabbed a 2014 TFT cluster 36011272.

I assume that you used Vdash,decode cem and then run the tft retrofit wizard from vdash with your old dim connected,it finishes and tells you to connect the two wires and your new dim,when its done you have to continue in vdash.

Yeah I followed the wiki to a T. VDASH can’t see the new one. It’s odd being everyone says there’s boots regardless of the two wires.

I’ll use a volt meter to verify that the two wires are producing something. But still odd I can hear the speaker make some type of nose when it’s connected.

The recycler I got it from locally pulled it working so I’m not entirely sure it’s faulty.

They usually do a "clicky" sound when connected and recognized (non-recognized doesn't click, or at least didn't back when we had contact with Vesper &#129326, so it could be faulty as you say.

Might want to contact support and see if they can help you, they're usually pretty quick to respond (depending on hours of course).

[Masteraustin]

I went ahead and connected the new DIM directly to the battery and same result, just kind of a buzzy sound for a second or two. I'm almost thinking its faulty.

[volvosp40]

Yeah, it saves to the server during the decoding (and probably why it requires a connection while doing it). I used both a netbook (horribly slow), and my stationary PC via a USB-extension (way faster ).

I used a notebook and it ran out of memory so i switched to a different laptop. I did this using the mobile hotspot on my phone with bad service. It took 19 hours!

Anyone here succeeded to replace the cluster on 14/15 model WITHOUT USING VDASH ? (with new analog cluster with one dial in the middle that dosent need new wiring)
I am not sure that i want to crack my system, i am afraid that if i have in the future problems with the car the dealer will see that i cracked the system and wouldn't want to mess with it....

@masteraustin

It is normal that the virtual display is dark before the vdash reprogramming. It does not have to mean the display is faulty. If you have a display that matches your volvo model you could be lucky. The virtual display will boot on the first try.
In most cases the donor will be from a different volvo model. vdash then will need to reprogram the display. before it can boot.
If vdash does not find the display In most cases the two wires are not good connected.
I would double check the wiring before getting a different virtual display.
For the best connection I always solder the wires direcly to the wires of the diagnostic port.

Cracking the ECM isn't actually doing anything to the ECM. Vdash is figuring out the secret PIN for the ECM to make the configuration changes. These changes are the same things that can be done via real Vida, but through Vdash since it now "cracked" the ECM PIN.

That being said, do you think all these cars need for the retrofit is a “DIM Reload” via VIDA? If you can get access to VIDA of course.

There’s been mention of people having a “friend” with access to VIDA Doing the retrofit for people. I’m starting to think it’s just a “DIM Reload“ or “DIM Upgrade” software from VIDA in addition to the extra wires of course.

1. I have VIDA can it be done for free or with extra charge?
2. Is there any chance that once i connect to new DIM it will simply work ? (plug & play)

I think that depends on if your car was a year that had the TFT DIM as an option. The earlier ones did not, do Vida is not able to do it.

1: Not if the TFT DIM wasn't an option for the model like the earlier ones.
2: Depends on the year.

So turns out the DIM reload is the exact same part number for the TFT display as the non TFT display cars...I’m starting to think, once the TFT retrofit is installed with the two wires...VIDA might get the car’s CEM to recognize the the new DIM via the “DIM reload”...I know the two DIM’s are on two different bus networks so there’s a high possibility is does nothing or a tiny chance it starts to “see” the new TFT DIM.

Once I find a DIM, I’ll give it a go. 🙂

[volvosp40]

I just completed the mod everything works except I have the tpms error but I expected this due to my car being a 2013 s60 and the dim being a 2015 s60.

Your “power”‘gauge works? Did you do anything different than the two wire install?

[thezoneS60]

So to be clear did you need VDASH or VIDA or any of these things or was it plug n play (apart fro the 2 wires)?

My Volvo is a 2015 model

I needed VDASH. When I plugged in the dim the screen would power on and then turn black.

[volvosp40]

Yes the power and eco gauge work. I did the 2 wire install and ran the VDASH retrofit wizard.

[volvosp40]

I don’t know where I should post this but a couple of days after I completed this mod I’m getting a abs brake system failure message, coolant system maintenance check engine light etc. I changed the battery but that didn’t work. Does anybody think this might be a wiring issue related to the mod? I will try to pull the codes this Saturday

[Almaz]

You can also try plugging the old cluster back in and see if you still get the warning lights.

Probably your additional wiring is not connected corretly to the DIM.

[GruttePier]

Hello all,

I've finsihed my retrofit too. MY13 V60 T3, NL. I took a DIM from a S60, that did not power on at all. It did power-on with the additional wiring - VDASH reprogramming helped to get everything working.

Costs were 125 ex VAT in NLD. CEM decoding took 9.5hrs with i7 PC.

Little issue: Manual shift indicator remains in the middle - does not work. Any suggestions?



Just a question, do you guys know if its possible to have such start-up animation as in this example?


Thank you

[Steffe]

The link doesn't work, but generally I don't think you can change it easily yourself. All images etc are probably stored in the TFT though, so it could be possible with enough knowledge.

The startup logo will only appeare if de car is off for al longer period. Other wise you will see the gauge immediately. Does your power gauge work?

Indeed after longer wait the R design animation shows when unlocking.
Yes, the power gauge works indicates both power and throttle level (big yellow arrow). I do not see the shift indications for the manual gearbox e.g. shifting to 3rd shows a (3).

[GruttePier]

My bad...
Shift Indicator is a setting in CEM Advanced configuration, so enabled it (after some credit upload). Working now. Not blazing fast responsive but it does it's job correctly. Right white LEDs also bump up and down when it's really late ^^ IMO.

I am having the same issue with the brake failure showing up on the old DIM in my 2012 XC60. (I havent gottent the new one to work yet) When it is in this mode, Vdash will not connect to the car, as it keeps trying to detect the vehicle. When I discconect the new wiring everythig goes back to normal and VDASH can connect.

When doing the mod, do I need to leave wires unattached, run Vdash, hook up the wiring, install new DIM, and apply the wizard. I have started and stopped the mod multiple time over the past few days in between other things... Not sure I f I am following the sequence right...

Thanks for any help.

USB cable length matters? USB cable of DICE Faulty.
This might sound odd, but happened to me during the TFT Retrofit. I 've had several issues with VDash when trying to connect to the car with the DICE. Jumped back to detecting interface randomly. Unable to read IAM; AUD; ICM modules on low-CANbus. Car rebooting in program mode. Lost connections with VDASH. DTC (errors) in TRM or SRS modules. This was so frustrating and started to look like wiring issue. Finally I found out it was not the new wiring added but the original USB cable of the DICE was faulty (I have the original DICE SETEK USB 1.8m cable to it). I'd have never thought about that. I replaced this cable with another MICRO-USB cable of just 15cm, really short one. This cleared all the connection issues with VDASH, no more random errors in modules or unable to read modules also never had the VDASH issue again that is randomly jumps to detecting interface...

Above behaviour happended to me during decode of CEM a lot, the short USB cable fixed the issues. Funny enough with the short USB cable + 2 USB extension cables attached to it the connection was working too - I decode the CEM that way (15cm + 5 meters + 2meters). I replaced the original USB cable of the DICE with another one (brand-new), 1.2meters, and whola! back are all the connection issues also with the brand new cable. I am bit dazzled with this... Yet happy that the short USB cable does work and enables me to have communicate VDASH with the car correctly.

My suggestion: try to find the shortest USB micro cable and connect that one to your Dice. See if it makes any difference.. let me know.

I used a powered 25m cable at first (Deltaco USB2-EX25M), but had random disconnects with that as well. Then I tried removing the power from the cable, and it worked fine. So it is really sensitive to interference.

I have a S80 mk2 3.2 SE LUX 2006, I have bought a TFT dash of e-bay! How easy is this to fit to my car and will it work?

[westy1969]

Update; decoding js done 5 minutes after posting

I have a question, do i just have to continue when I get this popup?
Its been 20 hours now and still no pin.

It's easier for you to just try it than get a positive answer since there are so many variables.
Also, you already bought it. If the answer is no, aren't you going to try it anyway?

Manual drives need enabling shift indicator too (seperate write action in VDASH on CEM)
Please check if you have any behavior changed on your DRL approach lighting after the TFT upgrade was completed. I am intrested in that

[westy1969]

Well i finished the tft mod as well. Happy camper. It was a strugle but with patience i managed to do it.
Had a failure during the upgrade of de dim, after a some restarts it continued.


I have a question, wherr can i activate the turn by turn navicatiob in the dim, i have seen the options, but do not know which to use.
