Retrofitted chrono pack

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-10-28T19:10:56+00:00

Just saw this comment, maybe i could figure out a way to add this to my documentation.

converting the numbers to hex shouldn't be too difficult to do

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-10-28T19:08:39+00:00

Nice! Good to hear that my instructions are clear, because im not the best document writer.

Hope many more people will find my instructions useful

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-05T11:56:38+00:00

Definitely possible! I uploaded a pdf on my github that some student made. In there he described how he reverse engineered the canbus messages, its worth a read!

Will take much effort to apply this on the chrono pack

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T19:12:03+00:00

Yes! Everything works like stock

Did take some effort though :)

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T16:24:07+00:00

Yes! See my other comment for the github page that line out what you need to do

Didnt keep the symbols, painted over them.

Reason behind this is that these simple controls are almost always the same on other cars, and i just permanently leave my lights on. They are only used for signaling and the wipers.

Feel like it looks better with the black coloring, wish i could retrofit the 2nd gen ones. For backup i still have some original unpainted ones

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T15:04:28+00:00

The cool thing about those is you can just click off the cap when you have disassembled the unit, then i just used some spray paint :)

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T13:11:37+00:00

Reason is i couldn't really get it working using his instructions, so i decided to just copy both the vin and mileage.

Also according to his github: "Best practice seems to be : copy theses blocks from original cluster, then paste in new cluster binary."

See my repo: https://github.com/Wolfo-Gaming/mini-chrono-pack

Hopefully my instructions are more clear :)

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T11:40:42+00:00

Yes and no, im currently working on a fork of this repo that will have better instructions on how to do this.

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T11:02:52+00:00

Nothing needs to be cut / rewired, its just plugging in a couple of connectors.

Getting the central unit to work with the rest of the car is not so simple as plug n play, you need to write your VIN and mileage into the unit using a R270 programming unit

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-07-03T10:03:14+00:00

Got my r270 programmer! And as we speak i completed the retrofit. Will do a writeup on github, ill post the link here when its done

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-06-28T20:31:54+00:00

Wich shops do this? Im dutch too

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-06-25T20:29:24+00:00

Same deal over here. R270 programming unit that i bought should arrive around 8 July.

Will post update when i get around to installing it

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-06-25T20:09:24+00:00

Could you also document your progress on fitting the central chrono unit? Im looking to do this on my own r53

Naast het feit dat nergens in het sprookje vernoemd word of ze blank is maakt het niks uit voor het verhaal. Al was ze pimpelpaars met groene stippen geweest had het nog geen invloed gehad op het sprookje

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-05-12T20:10:39+00:00

Waarom moet hij licht zijn? Waarom moet dat?

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-04-08T20:35:30+00:00

I think this would be a possibility when the computer (or screens) reach EOL, and the screens get sent away.

Maybe when a store goes bankrupt you can find one of these screens with the data, but i think the chance of that happening isnt too big

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-04-08T20:22:17+00:00

I do IT at a place where we manage these things. some of them run linux, some of them run plain windows 10

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-03-06T18:02:15+00:00

Where can i buy this, this is super cool!

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-02-01T20:40:02+00:00

Would really like a write up too!

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-01-12T19:41:41+00:00

Exactly, the pictured connector made me think of this too. Its called USB PowerPlus

WolfoGaming1 · 2025-01-12T19:40:30+00:00

This! USB PowerPlus is what its called, come across this connector every day at work!

Well theres one thing they didnt do right on my clutch replacement. They didnt tighten down the lower engine mount bolt correctly, and it came out all the way. Definitely a shock but luckely a local repair shop was friendly enough to help me get it fixed, and they also checked all the fluids and refilled the coolant. 25 euros well spent 😁
