Prepare SD card with the firmware.

Format the card with FAT32 file system and then copy the files from the first software update. The
card should look similar to this:

Important: Do not conduct any diagnostic work using the VAS tester, as well as
any other actions
Important: Remove the SIM card from MMI
Important: Do not remove the SD card with the firmware from the MMI during
the update

User defined update

Sometimes things go wrong and maybe the update is not completed. When this happen you can use
the User Defined mode for make a manual selection of what upgrade or install.
This is also useful for some Bose audio users that want to update all functions in MMI except Bose
modules (Bose updating sometimes will trigger component protection and you will need to recode
the unit).
For enable this mode:
Open Green Menu (Press CAR and MENU and hold it)
Go to swdl and tick user defined mode

Don't reboot, just exit with any button (RADIO/MEDIA/CAR)

Proceed with firmware-upgrade as normal.
When the update starts, you can select User Defined instead of Standard

You will see a list with all categories that firmware will update
Scroll to bottom and press Start Update
After several minutes/hours (it depends that what it has to update and the speed of your SD) the
firmware update will be done. Scroll to bottom and press Continue. On the next screen select the
Abort documentation and the MMI will reboot.
Once the system has rebooted, the download application may show a screen that displays the
update progress of various devices. As soon as all devices have registered with the upgrade
application, the update process is activated and the progress is shown on screen. The system may
reboot many times during the update and programming session. This is carried out completely
automatically and does not require you to take any action. Once the system has rebooted, updating
is continued and the "Download progress" screen is displayed many times.

Repeat this step until you reach K0900 as a current version (train version/MU software)

Activator
Caution: Do NOT insert the SD until MMI has fully booted you can brick your
unit!
Caution: Please double check that youre using the correct activator for your
firmware, using incorrect activator will result in a bricked (dead) MMI unit
Format your SD in FAT32.
Copy the root of your activation in the SD (like picture below)

Make sure that MMI is fully booted (press all buttons once RADIO CAR NAV MEDIA TEL).
Wait until all options are ok (no options in gray) even when all options are ok wait a minute more.
K900 firmware and maps 2016 - 8R0051884DF must already be installed
Insert the SD card into the 1st MMI slot.
We are waiting for ~ 15 seconds, if everything is done according to the instructions, the MMI itself off
and reboot.
After that the card will work.
Activator made Keldo. A huge thanks to him!

Emergency update (and optional region change)

Emergency update is useful if you have an activator installed (like Carsons patch) and you want to
update your firmware or install another patch without problems.

Recommended: Do the emergency update with the same firmware that are
currently installed.
Open Green Menu (Press CAR and MENU and hold it)

Important: This step are only required if you need to change the region of your
car (e.g. USA->Europe)
Go to system/internal
Change internal region code to "Rest of the world" and press return

Go to swdl and tick ignore region and variant

Format your SD in FAT32.

MMI will now reboot and enter into Emergency Update mode.

Important: The deletion and programming processes are performed several

times, until all components of the MMI have been updated. Wait until the
programming process is finished and the system automatically restarts. Your
input is not necessary. The flash tool will begin deleting all the existing flash
information in this step.

Once the above step is completed the programming screen will appear

Important: No input is necessary from you, the update tool will perform
everything automatically.

There might be functions that Emergency Update will not install like Google Maps.
Once the MMI emergency update is completed, you will need to re-install your firmware as normal
using the procedure showed in this manual for install all secondary functions.

1. Find out the MAC address of your multimedia unit (MMI)
Every navigation unit has a unique MAC address; this is documented on the multimedia sticker, see
below:

Removing multimedia unit physically to read the MAC address is not always possible, therefore we
have made a small script that reads it for you. Please follow these steps:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
H.

Use the GetMyMAC script from here

Unzip the file
Copy to the root of an SD card (format SD as FAT32)
Turn ignition on, start multimedia and wait until its fully loaded (about 2 minutes)
Insert SD card into slot 1 (make sure all other SD cards and USB devices are unplugged)
Wait 30 seconds, then eject SD card from Multimedia
Insert SD into your computer.
Find the file called MAC.txt which has your MAC address.

Note: If the file MAC.txt is empty you will have to make sure the ignition is on, and follow
these steps:
Enter Greenmenu, scroll-down and select wlan
Put ticks in both check boxes
Wait 10 seconds
Use Get_MAC_Troubleshoot script to get your MAC address and info.

2. Build activation card

They will see the MAC address of your device type: 001cf72107cf
Take in the hands of the easiest calculator
MAC address divide into two equal parts for six characters and 001cf7 / 2107cf
In the calculator, enter in the first half only numbers: 17 and click the Plus
Now we add the second half of the only numbers: 2107
Get example: 17 + 2107 = 2124
To this sum is added the figure: 1984.
As a result, a complete example looks like this: 17 + 2107 = 2124 + 1984 = 4108
4108 and it will be activated for your Xcode redundant system.
Further, there is a file in the archive Xcode_00040009.fsc
Instead of the word "Xcode" in the file name obtained by adding the substitute code, in this example
4108.
Get 4108_00040009.fsc filename
We transfer to the SD card at the root of two files:
