As @TheWanderer has put it perfectly, from me or @Rainesh

 

And of course apply at own risk, though as you can see members are providing excellent feedback, example being @Bloembol just above, and several others with longer time now with 1941 loaded.

Great work @varooom and @Raineshhelping the community.

 

I have 3 months warranty left so I will try and get the dealer to perform the upgrade.

 

However, please can I get a copy of 1941 just incase they won't and I have to end up doing it myself?

 

Release Version: MO13_EU_SK_R8960L Software version: 1896

 

Thank you both very much!

No issues yet besides the shop not working due to some service that's not started. I can live with that if the rest of the car functions normally.
I'll make screenshot/clip next time i'm in the car and get these messages for reference here in this thread.

I noticed tough that startup and menu operation is a bit quicker, more responsive. I'll be honest, this might just be a placebo if having something new and shiny 🙂
It's a bit too early to say that it is a 100% success but so far no Infotainment crash.

What USB you used to update? I got the file from @varooom and now looking for the storage to install it. 

I’m pleased to report that more than a week has passed since I installed 1941 and no bugs have occurred ever since. So far, 1941 has been rock solid for me. The car should have worked like that since the very beginning.

Use a USB C memory stick or a normal USB memory stick with a USB C adapter. I don't know which is USB slot 1 or 2, but I don't think it really matters. 

 

The only thing I have noted is occasional mentions of shop not working and minor issues. varooom & Rainesh maybe able to expand on that with their expertise. 

Hey @varooom.
Any chance you can share the file, I've been searching the web for a solution for long time, the restarts have turned some cogs in my head lmao.
I willing to try the manual update cannot be bothered anymore with incompetent dealer people..

Thank you.

Yes, in less than 5 mins, where dealers would be 5 weeks... 😆

@varooom could you send me link too for the firmware file? Thanks,

 

Would like to hop on the 1941 train too if possible? Still got warranty but would like to have it just in case they refuse in future.

Very appreciated. I've just finished the upgrade process, let's see if the new version indeed brings the improvements :).

Short instruction how to do the upgrade:

 

1. Extract archive directly to the USB stick (Meta/Data folders should be in root).

2. Insert USB stick into USB port 1 or 2 (I used USB-C adapter).

3. Turn on ignition.

4. Hold "MENU" for few seconds to enter service mode.

5. Select software update.

6. Select USB1 or 2 (it's highlighted if detected).

6. Follow the instructions.

 

The first two steps (MCU/CPU upgrade) took me about 25 minutes, and two long reboots, the rest like 5 minutes without reboots. Don't interrupt if nothing happens even for a few minutes, it'll progress.

Process looks almost the same like in this video:

Ok, will send a link

@varooomcan you please send me that file

 

Check your inbox too

Would it be possible to get a link to the update as well please?

I'm also out of warranty so if I could have the link for the 1941 if my negotiations with the dealership don't succeed please

Hi @varooomcan you provide me a link as well?

Thank you so much !

I can also confirm all is well with 1941. No more strange restarts (there were many and accumulating). Also the problem i had with the shop not working after the update and the auto-update I received and couldn't be installed due to the message backend services were not started are now gone, I could install everything this morning (my shop thingies) and the update succeeded also.

I would say 1941 is a delight. @varooomyou are officially my new best friend 💗 
Thank you so much
