MMI goosed by ME

[Johnmed]

Hi, I noticed my MMI was in need of an update....

I thought I'd be clever and update the MMI. Inserted disc one and all went well, then it said it had timed out. I tried again to no avail and then it asked for boot loader 2.40....

HELP

Anyone know what I have done wrong, and if I can fix the bleeding thing?

TIA John

D'oh! Have you tried the other update CD's?

I wouldn't connect with VCDS until you've tried the other CD's firstly. Are there any faults logged in any MMI modules?

When a failed update happens a MOST component could have gone off line and broken the optical loop.

Hi Matt. I've tried CD1 again, but it says it's unreadable. It was burned at x4 speed. I'm going to buy some more CDs and burn them slower and keep trying each of them while the car's hooked up to the charger.

I've read all the horror stories about updating MMI and steering clear of boot loader, which I did. Yet, it's gone a bit wrong

Don't worry too much and kick yourself. Worst case scenario is a used control head and CP removed. So £150 quid and a sunday afternoon installing it.

Ran disc 1 again. Burned to new disc, and ALL OK AGAIN!

Phew. Going to be brave now and try and update from 5150....

What's the worst that could happen?!?!?!

Edit: Ran disc 2, all the options seems to be N/A, so I've gone and tried disc 3. Which seems to be going ok. Think I'm either brave or stupid. Or possibly both. If this goes wrong again, please, someone shoot me!

[Johnmed]

Done. Time for (another) beer.

Well done John.
When I did mine I had bought the discs from the stealers and it went smoothly.
I then gave the discs away.
Since then I have fitted DAB radio and changed TV to hybrid, so I think that I might need to run the discs again.
I'll have to obtain the discs again.

Thanks mate.

You're welcome to my discs Ray. Bought and burned today.

How is your satnav treating you?

Thanks John, sounds like a god reason to organise a mini meet
I've not had chance to use the car. Will try it tomorrow or Sunday.
I have an 03:00 tomorrow Preston and in the evening a Bell Vue Dogs return.
Sunday up to now I'm free.
