Instrument Cluster Hidden funtions?

So guys, i was browsing to youtube on the f25 instrument cluster but i was directed to a f10 which was similar to the f25.
I saw that the instrument closters hidden functions could be ultilized if unlocking it by placing ur last 7 digits of the vin.
There you could see your gas tank left, test control, your rev counter and more importantly, YOU COULD SEE THE ERROR CODES without placing anything into the obd. And many others.

So i was wondering, if i were to unlock my f25 instrument to ultize this functions, would this void my warranty?

Thanks!

if you don't get an answer here, you might post it in the "ask a dealer" forum at bimmerfest.com. btw, where/how does one enter the numbers?

Ok i tested this and everything went fine.
Thanks for all ur input guys.

The only problem is, if ur going to foundle with the instrument cluster it would be locked and you would have to put in the code again. It wont stay unlocked.

But anyways, im happy that i could access the error codes without buying special equipment.
