Any SoCal E-Sys Coders? Need help ASAP!

My brother tried to code the Alpina display on his f90 last night via BimmerCode with iCar Pro OBD and the cluster does not work anymore, keeps shutting down and restarting and BimmerCode can't code the Cluster ECU since it keeps restarting continuously.i requested for help with BimmerCode and they said to flash it back to stock with E-Sys and I don't have one so I can't do it right away. Please help!

Not sure if E-Sys will help.
Seems like you corrupted the firmware.
I have E-Sys, but my computer for coding is not setup for flashing.

So Alpina does not work on the F90, only on G30. The way I fixed it was by doing the trick where you turn on the car and press the gas/brake to make the test menu come up for the cluster and it was able to stay on and restart the cluster ECU. When it stayed on I was able to go with the BimmerCode app and set everything back to what it was.

Did you change both options KOMBI or just one for Alpina?

Has anyone got the Alpina display to successfully work on the F90 M5 cluster...would be a nice alternative....would have liked the original display to change to red or something different if using sports or sports+ setting
