IPC update ... worth it or not ?

On another thread, it was suggested I do the IPC update after i posted pics showing I have the grey bits around the gauges.


As I quite like the grey bits but haven't seen an updated one to compare it to, I have 2 questions:

1. if I don't like the update, can I reverse the change?

2. does the update offer me other stuff that makes it worth losing the grey bits ?

I don't have a D4 with the fancy screen, but for what it's worth, I think it looks better without the shading.

ISTR it’s an ECU reflash, always a little bit scarier than a straight CCF edit.

Nobody likes the shading Smile IMO it makes the IPC display look much nicer and readable. Was among the first things I did for my D4.

I have the grey shading too. I didn't realise I could get rid of it and I think it looks cleaner without.

Can the update be done without a secondary power source? I have the CTEK MXS 5.0 but I think this is only for charging and not for supply.

I did it without a power source and with a brand new battery, took 2-3 minutes. (Yes I realize this is not how one is supposed to do it but sometimes ....)

so ... on the basis no-one has said otherwise, the only change this does is removing the grey areas ?

Thanks kajtzu. I think I'll charge the battery overnight then give it a whirl.

Do you know what other changes it introduces? I notice that sometimes when setting cruise, the cruise set speed doesn't appear. Do you know if it resolves this also?
