Prerequisites -

  • Connect your car with a battery charger OR leave the engine running during the update procedure.
  • Switch off the headlights, seat heating, and climate control system to prevent battery drain.
  • Remove all CD’s/DVD’s from the MMI system before beginning.
  • Start the car, and let the MMI system initialise for 1-2 minutes before beginning.
  • Do not remove the CD from the MMI system during the update.
  • Read the complete guide before you start.
  • If your firmware version is below 51.5.0, you MUST update using disc "K9XX" first and then run update "K1XXX" if necessary to reach version 55.7.0.
  • If your car is equipped with Bluetooth, the Bluetooth update procedure MUST be carried out twice as it will wipe the Bluetooth firmware first, and install the updated Bluetooth firmware second.
  • It is recommended to reach firmware version 55.7.0 before attempting to update the Bluetooth firmware.
