IMHO you should change hub to compatible number with as/ACP. Do you want to risk. Majority of cost is hub say 180eur, replace in stelvio is 2h you can do yourself, rest is proxi mod again yourself. Activation in etm depends on dealer, can be eur 50 other will charge 20. I found one who charged me 12eur....

270 including usb is a good price...so

 

[Jena Plissken]

My ORIGINAL ( STELVIO) bytes in proxi are:
115 -- 14
157 -- B4
161 -- 03
163 -- 00
174 -- 00

i think its already activated from factory. 161 is 03 so AA and ACP are activated (!!), 163 and 174 some recommend leaving them at 0 because they are irrelevant, 115 is at 14 because I only have one USB under the armrest, the only problem is (perhaps) the value of 157, but certainly it is not the value with AA deactivated, that is B0, instead for me it is B4 (even if it should be B1 as I understand it)

what do you think? maybe I just have to try to activate the ecm with the witech?
Tanks a lot

 

[epsonix]

No, it isn't big lack in 157, more details
115 - 14 is for single USB hub, duals have 0x15, question is what part number of hub do you have
157 - B4 is not correct for AA/ACP, if you had B4, then B5 woudl be correct (bit 0 set to 1 is critical - most of stock giulia stelvios had 30 B0 respectively without, to activate you need 31 B1 respectively)
161 - 03 is ok both AA and ACP allowed
163 OK
174 OK

perfect..
i read tonight that 157 is mirroring and it must (!) be active as you say, so from 0 (even) it must be 1 (odd). On the usb hub it goes to luck, it depends on the serial number even if it is single.
What I find particular is that everything is already active in byte 161.
In the end I should "ONLY" bring byte 157 from B4 to B5 and perform a proxy alignment with MES, then activate the function in the ETM with Witech.
Tnx a lot

 

[Jena Plissken]

This is from Stelvio my 2019 ( mine is my2018) with original AA and ACP
and Byte 157 is B1, I don't know if I put B5 or directly B1 in mine.
Also 163 byte is 02.
I must search a proxi tabel of my 2018...is better

 

[epsonix]

bits 6:2 of byte 157th are some related to max engine oil temp (whateve it does at the end, maybe nothing as value is marked as not used which again means nothing as there are some which works and opposite some which are marked used but do not take any effect ). I have 31, stelvios I seen were B1, can't recollect any 34/35/B4/B5 at least across a around 6-7 cars where I added AA/ACP.

ok, then better put B1 in 157 ( not B5) and leave the rest as it is

 

[epsonix]

not necessarily, if your stock was B4, change to B5.
My car proxi today got around 30 changes, many not used, other used theoretically. saturday other 40. all related with getting postlift ETM retrofitted. most of issues resolved but not all yet, may not be possible with old other ECUs

ok, awarded, then I only change the 157 from B4 to B5 and then I activate the Etm with the witech

Tnx a lot

 

[epsonix]

No You need earlier right hub as well part number compatible with aa/ACP option

 

[Jena Plissken]

yes, after having mounted a compatible hub, I change the byte 157 in B5 and then I use the witech
And, obviously, byte 115 to 15 with dual usb hub

Looking to possibly get a 2017 or 2019 QV. If I go the 17 route I’m going to want CarPlay/AA. Is this the best option we’ve currently got or is there a better solution for the US market?

Actually don’t know this one. Why not Eng Custom?

I had heard about US folks having issues with them. Perhaps they were just unlucky though?

 

[Alex_GenTLe]

I had once car like this for AA/ACP retrofit 2016 production but with warranty replaced headunit for 2nd generation. Added hub, expanded proxi , modified it, add later AA/ACP was successfully activated.

Did it, all went ok.
Today I also installed the ETM ver 2.5 which came from a british crashed Stelvio (on which Eng-Customs replaced the VIN with mine).
All fine EXCEPT that it comes from a car with 8.8 display, while mine has 6.5, and it doesn't accept my (previously saved and used already on my gen 1 ETM) maps upgrade...

Do you (or anyone) know if there's some proxy setting to tell the ETM that this car has the 6.5 display and therefore should accept the maps for that one?

Thanks, Alex

There is setting but etm ignores it, you need 8.8map, latest which works no matter of vin is ver 1051 or 52 released 6.2020

Uhm, dammit. I'm wondering if there's a way to transfer the settings from the old ETM to the new one, not just for the Maps themselves, but also because after the ETM got the correct VIN from Eng-Custom it worked well for 1 day and now it started to ask for the unlocking antitheft code, which I don't have (I'm trying to get it from a dealer I'm friend with)...

Basically, in the end, it was way better if I simply went for their Imperium add-on module

I've installed this one, been working flawlessly for a bit more than a year now.

 

[Duetto156]

Today I also installed the ETM ver 2.5 which came from a british crashed Stelvio (on which Eng-Customs replaced the VIN with mine).

They can replace the VIN on a used ETM with Carplay to use it in an older Giulia?

I have to call them instantly.

What do they charge for this service?
