I posted this on another thread: Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2 for $2500 [$1500 as of Jan 21, 2020]

Did you get it to work?

I have a 2017 Model X, got the tuner upgrade (for free too and yes I have premium audio) and got Sirius/XM working. But only after rebooting the car after sirius enabled the XM radio to make it work.

I expected to pay $500, but didn’t have to. Here’s the invoice.

Just got my FM/XM radio upgrade to my MCU2 infotainment upgrade that I had done a few months ago. Great to have radio again, although I rarely use it. And I was surprised that it cost me nothing. Thank you, Tesla!

It's definitely needed if you replace the front tri-camera. The camera will work, but what it sees is a bit out of sync. The stoplights at intersections were very wonky. Once the calibration was done, then the stoplights looked very stable. This may be because of the three cameras versus the...

I think you are misremembering, analog tuner supports AM, digital tuner does not. MCU2 only connects to digital tuner. MCU1 upgrade - Radio and XM

I did not replace my B pillar cameras and the calibration did 100% after about 6 miles of driving for my X. So perhaps the "additional cameras" are the B pillar ones, but I'd be surprised if the software is even using those yet.

I used part # 1120520-00-B. Made for the newer S/X.

I did finally figure out why the new color triple camera didn’t quite look as good as the side repeater cameras. It’s because on the Model X the cameras are above the AS1 line of the windshield and that area is tinted, hence the slightly greyer look.

Yes, I waited until I had a firmware update pending. After updating the firmware, it worked great. I did not try it before updating the firmware.

Upgrade to MCU2! :)

I haven't gotten the update yet, so I have no clue. It would be nice if it could do both the yellow hazard and construction speed limits. Consider yourself one of the lucky few who received the first batch of updates.

What you saw as speed limit sign recognition was really speed limits based on the maps using GPS coordinates. It correctly did the speed limits most of the time, but if it wasn't on the map, you could easily end up driving too fast or too slow for the actual posted speed limit. This update...

If I knew what I was doing it would have taken 15 min. But since I didn't, it took an hour. The most important thing is you need a T10 torx tool to remove about 12 identical screws. This was for a Model X: Step 1: Remove the small plastic cover around the mirror on the bottom side. Step 2...

Finally installed my new triple color camera. Then I downloaded 2020.32.3 and went for a drive. The visualization was a little wonky for the stop lights. So I used the new recalibrate camera features and drove for about 6 miles and everything was calibrated. I like the little circle showing...

It'd be nice to get It'll be a few days until i get the triple camera and I'm hoping I'll have 2020.32 by then.

As I understand it, with MCU1 the rear camera image went directly to the screen. With MCU2, the cable has to go to the image processor on the MCU2 first, then that processed signal gets redirected to the screen.

Please check out this thread Honolulu SC just completed my MCU2 Upgrade where the discussion of the camera upgrades are taking place.

Yes, but after that test it'll probably need calibration, so I will have to completely install it to see if it works properly with AutoPilot.

Just bought it used off of eBay for $200. Will install when I get it delivered. Hope it works!

If this is the right part number (1120520-00-B) about $300 on ebay. But what is the right part #? And what is the old part # that we are currently using? My experience with both side repeaters being replaced has been great so far. I'm willing to try the front cameras, if I know I've got the...

So who’s going to be the first to switch the front camera? I’m still wondering if it’ll affect the AutoPilot / FSD software at all.

yes. Here is the invoice:

Just got both new color side repeater cameras from Tesla today and installed them. The color is much better. Not as good as the backup camera, but better than the old ones and the front camera. So far, sentry mode and motion images work just fine. Nothing affected so far. I kept the old RCCC...

Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

How did you order directly from Tesla?

I suppose it’ll still work with a bike rack.

Would the dashcam clips from sentry mode and while driving also do a lot of indexing?

I thought it was Dominion Energy.

Maybe they discovered since then that while the RCCC cameras work fine for DashCam and Sentry, they are more problematic for full FSD?

As little as I use FM, these comments (and others) have finally made my decision for me. I can live without FM radio!

I’m in the same situation you are. If it takes another 6 months to get my MCU2/HW3 upgrade then so be it. I fully expected I’d have to buy a new Tesla to get the good stuff. So $2500 and a few months of waiting is a deal. And maybe by then they’ll figure out a way I can buy a digital FM...

Signatures do show up if you rotate your phone to landscape mode.

Just got 2020.12 today after they upgraded my Model 3 to HW3. And the offset is definitely there. I set it to +5 for my profile.

Actually, the cell phone network is not as fragile as you might think. Most towers have backup power in case of power outage and/or losing a tower or two to earthquakes or other calamities. This just results in some degraded performance but the cell network is still operational. There really...

Don’t forget to factor in “Elon Time”!

Eat less, exercise more!

I plan on getting the CyberTruck too. But since my order is probably 3 years from delivery, I’ll go ahead and get the infotainment upgrade now.

Interesting. How much would option 3 be? $25,000 more? $2,500 might be the better deal.

Can someone change the title to Supercharger - Reston, VA to be consistent?

WAF? Wife Acceptance Factor?

Another use case for the roadster 2 cold gas thrusters!

I also had my X repaired at Dorns in Mechanicsville, VA last year and thought the level of service and quality of repair was excellent.

I know Tesla calls them both superchargers on their maps. Of course, both the 72KW urban superchargers and the 120/150KW regular superchargers are plenty fast. And when over 50% SOC, they do charge about the same. In any case, the Dulles/Herndon/Reston area would be a good location for a new...

They are building one in Vienna, VA. That should help reduce the dead zone size a lot. Supercharger - Vienna, VA

Apparently you can get a touch-free car wash while charging!
