Mine came with 056..... mhhhhhh....

 

Without change of head unit you can not get past 56 on a 17’....I got 81 but only because they had to replace head unit with latest version, old one simply wouldn't take map updates after SW update....that said while larger camera pic is slightly better it is nothing to lose your sleep about, easy entry function doesnt work on me because I am sure other system components have to be upgraded and updated to make it work

Incorrect, the most current ‘17 software is MV/TV-002.009.059

 

Interesting. Guess it's the same for early MY18


On a side note, I had a DYAC on the title of the thread and I was able to change it. On the old forum, you couldn't (or at least I never could figure out how); great feature!

 

Let's try not to confuse things.

There are two different software lineages, one for the old ETM hardware (MY17) and one for the new one (MY18-19).

New software versions are not regularly made available to dealers/shops; it only happens occasionally, via service bulletin, to fix specific bugs encountered in the field. In such cases, service bulletins are released at different times in different regions (or they may just be released in specific regions, for region-specific bugs).

At this time, the latest firmware versions made available to dealers/shops are:

Old hardware
EMEA: 002.009.055
NAFTA: 002.009.059

New hardware
EMEA: 085.000.046
NAFTA: 056.000.007

 

I wonder why they do it like this. Why limit features for NAFTA. But I guess it does mean that there's a chance that they could come.

 

^you will end up with new hardware (old is not available anymore) and the latest SW for NAFTA, thats how my car ended up being too because ETM had to be replaced

 

You will want to be on 56.000.007...but I predict a 55.xxx.xxx will be what you get.

 

Even though he will have ETM changed? I think old SW does not work on new units...

 

@AlfaRomeoCares called me today to check up on how my car was with the new springs installed, and I asked them about getting the newer update for the NAFTA market, and they said that are looking into it as multiple people have expressed interest in the larger backup camera and ability to disable the easy entry. There is hope yet!

 

Is there a way to find out the SW version?

 

You can find the SW level of the Infotainment system and Maps under system or settings, can’t remember which and I’m not near my car. Just play around with the Infotainment system and you’ll find them.

 

My '18 came with 072.001.002

The numbers of the versions don't seem to make any sense. How old is mine?

In any event, it cannot be that old... If I remember correctly the backup image seems to be larger than on my '17 QV.

 

So here's what mine says...but it doesn't seem to fit the pattern of North American updates.
I have no idea if this is old or up to date?

 

It's old. It can be updated to 002.009.055 if you're in EMEA, 002.009.059 if you're in NAFTA.

 

So they installed the new ETM today in my 2017 Giulia Ti....


I also seem to have some features now that my 2017 didn't before (like phone messages) and my backup camera image is larger.

 

Just FYI:
My car was built in late 2017 but with the 2nd gen hardware.

I bought it in June 2018. It was delivered with version 51.
In late 2018 we updated to 56.

Today, another round of updates was performed and I'm on 85.


I'm posting this to proof that it can indeed be updated. (some dealers are a bit stubborn)

 

Where are you located?
Nafta is supposed to be 56 max while emea was 81 but looks like 85 now

 

With MES in proxy change byte 74
A7 is without menu easy access
AB is with menu easy access
and make proxy alignament
Only ETM MV075 or higher accept this
Tested in my car

I think I speak for alot of us when I say, we have no clue how to do this through proxi.

Technically you could really end up turning it into a Stelvio as far as the infotainment system is concerned, the firmware contains both car graphics and the displayed ones are dictated by a proxi setting...

 

I was expecting (and hoping for) such a comment from you

On topic:
I've just tried it - without success.
To begin with; my car had "A3" and not "A7" at byte 74.
After changing it to "AB" and executing the proxi-alignment the menu option did indeed show up.
However - every time I changed the option to "On", it would default to "Off" again after a few seconds.
All of that while the easy entry was still working (as before).

So in summary: functionality was unchanged, but I enabled a useless option

I'm in the process of returning everything back to normal right now.

 

weird
Tell me you have blind spot monitor ?
If yes you have only visual or visual + acoustic ?

Yes - I have the blind spot monitor.
I have seen the triangle in the mirrors, I'm not sure about the acoustic warning however.

Rear cross path detection is also working fine. (No idea if that's relevant)

 

This is a video as you can see is a 2016 giulia with acp/aa , easy access menu and blind spot monitor with acoustic and visual alert

But this car was fitted with a 2nd gen infotainment-unit, correct?

Regarding AA/ACP:
What exactly has to be changed in the proxi-config?

 

Yes second generation
All I know is giulia/stelvio 2016 2017 ( H in vin number ) has to be changed internally and proxy change

We would great appreciate if you can provide more info a step by step to do this for "H" VIN cars. Can you find the exact procedure from your friend? Thx

 

After several updates the system cross lane departure warning now have this sound

In my opinion more cool

Hey @ratix,
If you cant give us the exact procedure for the H cars, can you at least show us a screenshot of your "Ctrl+Alt+C" screen with the codes in MES under the Proxi Alignment Procedure Page? Maybe some of us can decipher them.

 

This is what a procsi read out looks like: i don't know which position the H from the VIN is though. 2017 Q4 with latest USB and ETM:

30 34 36 32 31 30 31 36 37 32 35 4F 55 54 50 55 54 2D 53 49 54 20 17 03 24 4F 0C 40 65 10 40 19 02 0A 00 00 00 C0 00 00 00 4B 0C 00 65 10 40 19 02 0A 00 00 00 C0 00 00 00 41 5A E7 01 C9 82 07 F3 54 31 A1 07 40 10 30 0A A2 20 04 72 00 FF 63 28 00 43 C2 B8 1D 83 AC 48 45 43 05 00 80 00 0C 4E 00 00 1A 04 00 89 00 5B FA 02 07 F5 05 31 20 09 72 14 3D 81 10 7B 00 EA 00 BB 10 10 A0 3D 49 03 03 3A FF 5F 81 00 01 01 00 00 F0 20 08 20 02 0A 00 00 00 04 00 0C 1C 00 00 00 50 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I've tried looking for a sequence of numbers as mine is H755 to see if I would find some sort of pattern, but cannot. I do have a sneaking suspicion that if you even change the VIN in the BCM procsi, it may cause the ETM to show a mismatched VIN and ask for a security code on the radio.

 

If they are doing standard ASCII to hex encoding, "H" = 48

 

Interestingly I had put if through a Hex to ASCII converter(so at least some of it is in common ASCII). and clearly you can read "OUTPUT" in the conversion:

04621016725OUTPUT-SIT $O@e@
ÀKe@
ÀAZçÉóT1¡@0
¢ rÿc(C¸¬HECN[úõ1 r={ê» =I:ÿ_ð
P0

I just don't know exactly what to change. Since there is only one H I may try to change it to a J and see what happens, I'll keep you posted.

 

H or J is the 10th spot in the VIN, not sure where that comes into play here folks. Dancing with the devil I say!!

 

"You could be the first to “brick” an entire car?‍♂ "

Well, I'm mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out.

 

Try converting the long decimal digit strings of your VIN to HEX and then see if there is a match. Maybe the VIN is not coded as ASCII.

 

vin is not in the proxy
You should not touch the proxy if you do not know what you are doing.
