I just got my 2007 HSE instrument cluster software upgrade, the thing I was thinking to do earlier before. Actually I tried couple of times with no success but today is the day I did it right and installed correct software parts.

I did some kind of research in www.mobile.de looking for right year Freelander 2 with pictures of instrument cluster showing TIME in there so it was late 2009 and 2010 year vehicles.

I tried to copy and replace files and have them downloaded by SDD EXTRA recommendations in Diagnosis mode. Software files were downloaded but with no success for time and even worse I lost average consumption function, just 0.0L/100Km all the time.

My thoughts to make the result helped known forum member Alex alex_pescaru with his topic of How To Edit CCF in other way... so I did this software upgrade and download by SDD engineer mode.

Now I have the option to see these parts in instrument cluster

TIME (new)
EXT TEMPERATURE
TRIP
RANGE
AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION
INSTANT FUEL CONSUMPTION (new)
AVERAGE SPEED









Instant fuel consumption when engine running in D but stopped and not moving



Just after start and it drops in seconds









Here are the files that were downloaded to my 2007 TD4 auto box, KMH instrument cluster

Well done !!!

But I am curious and I have some questions, if I may....

What CCF edit has to do with firmware downloads?
You don't need that "full CCF edit" modification in order to download files into Instruments....

What do you mean by "SDD engineer mode" ?
Did you used the below SDD's section for programming the Instruments?

Alex, your topic about CCF editing gave me idea how to do it. I found an option to choose what ever software you want to download.

Yes, previously I tried to download/ upgrade my instrument cluster couple times in SDD diagnosis-> recommendation menu, I noticed the software file names during download then replaced them with the ones I wanted to have downloaded to IPC in program files -> JLR folder.

I think no matter what year your IPC is that software should work.

Actually I tried to do the downgrade in case of mistake or badly chosen files etc. I have noticed my first files and wanted to have them downloaded to IPC just to see if program lets to do that but I got some kind of error and ran out of time so this is the one I want to try first now.

If program lets download newer versions to other modules and have them restored to first stage in mistake that would be another great option

Hope you understood me

I didn't know about softwaredownload.html until I saw your topic and tried to walk around by replacing files and using SDD program options but only succeed by downloading through softwaredownload.html

Actually I got PC error not related to SDD so don't know about CCF and didn't do any changes in CCF.

My vehicle has now stored DTC something like incorrect CCF or files in IPC (instrument cluster) but everything works perfect and I don't care about that DTC

Indeed, I've also flashed a MY2007 instrument cluster and the same error:
U0300 Internal control module software incompatibility...
But also seemed to work OK.

Do all functions work despite that, time, inst fuel and others?

Yes, they work.

I can confirm this is working. alex_pescaru downloaded the files to my IC and after a DTC clear all have been fine. Yesterday I drove about 120Km with no problem and the readings seems to be as accurate as you can hope for.
When I checked the fuel consumtion it was 0.68L/10Km, (Manually control measure L/Distance) or 6.8L/100Km as the message display indicate - equal to 42 Miles/Gallon (Any better? ) This was normal careful driving, but with a lot of rush hour traffic in the city. Thanks Alexandru, you are my number one stunt programmer!

Thank you very much again!

BTW this software "opened" the function to install Russian language. I have couple clients who better understand Russian than English. Standard 2007 vehicle software had and option to choose Russian language in SDD service menu but after download it finished in English.

On the same note....
In the CCF there is an option for enabling/disabling speed warnings... Also about speed limiters.
Parameter 44 and 45 from second block.
Did you tried to enable this option for enable/disable speed warnings? And see if it work on the cluster?

My car had french language in the nessage center - and that is greek to me! I wanted to change to Norwegian, but ended up with english
