EDIT: See page 5 for procedure.

This is a continued discussion from another forum we unintentionally hijacked. Sorry!
I've succesfully updated my 2017 to AA/Carplay, looking to build a how-to and am working with anyone to confirm all of the setup variables.

if unit is 2nd hand with already activated aa/acp and prepared for your VIN, then if your audio config is similar (was with or without amp vs last proxi on this unit), and when you change USB hub to compatible, then even radio will work fine (sound) and aa/acp will start OK. Otherwise you do proxi 3 bytes mods (e.g. with MES/AlfaOBD), and it works. Then no need of dealer/witech.

so you do proxi run, can be done with MES/AlfaOBD the same as with Witech. VIN writes in after some time of driving (won't tell you tens miles or so?) MES/AlfaOBD you need if you need to change config e.g. adding aa/acp/nav. witech (or e.g. Autel) you need once you have added aa/acp proxi mods, run proxi but need to activate aa/acp. order matters!!!

yes, if no need currently to activate you just run proxi, but no harm to prepare already headunit so modify 3 bytes for aa/acp.

only when you need to add aa/acp it is must to setup 3 bytes for it, change usb hub and do proxi, after you go to autel or witech to activate aa/acp.

Hello all!
I need to activate AA in a my19 Giulia I recently bought used. It has single USB port.

Here's the data:

Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2Mjet 160 CV my19 (first sold in 2020)

ETM (Entertainment Telematic Module)
ISO Code:
00 24 70 4E 17
Hardware number:
50355176021 - Ver: 02
Software number:
50455007755 - Ver: 0005

Software version: MV-090.000.061

Here are the proxy bytes values recalled in this thread:
115: 12
157: 34
161: 03
163: 1A
174: 00

I don't use Apple phones, so if a USB port change would needed just for Apple car I will keep mine.

Could you help me to start the correct procedure?
What byte values to change?
I'm sure no modification was made before. Is still Witech needed in MY19 version? Could BrainBee diagnostic (a car mechanic I know has it) do the job?

Thanks
