What the hell is byte 74

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
All the options you see in the proxy alignment screen are just "helpers" to modify the according byte(s).

Not all the options are available in the screen - if you know what to change, you can access the byte sequence manually via CTRL+C in the proxy alignment screen.

but ATTENTION should NOT change the bytes without being sure what they are doing

Absolutely.

You might end up turning your car into a diesel or Stelvio [emoji12]
 
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.

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

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.
