Any news on MCU1 -> MCU2 upgrades in the UK yet?
- Thread starter thegruf

Yep, loaded with all the entertainment apps (Netflix YouTube etc.)
Hopefully we arent too far off for MCU2 upgrades in the UK. seeing as a Tesla MS2016 loaner itself isn't sporting MCU1 seems like the defect is undeniable.
No FM or DAB radio, but surprisingly though I didn't notice until you asked as all the normal stations were in recently played list via TuneIn

I guess it would be the same problem trying to listen to TMS (5Live Extra) via the web browser as well then?
Yes, that my fear
I’ve not tried it for a while as I’ve preset dab stations now, but when I first got my car the dab tuner was useless at fine stations and the search took me to tune in which wouldn't play.
Picking up my car tomorrow, will ask.
Annoyingly they "fixed" my mcu1 by reflashing it.

Tesla owners group reporting MCU2 upgrade can be ordered for £2000 + VAT:

We all knew that it was coming, and we even heard here first that a car had been done in the UK which they've not realised. TOGUK also had no idea whether DAB would go when I last looked which we've heard on here it does. Despite all their claims they have the inside track, in my experience its rare they actually do as news breaks elsewhere first.

Word is that if you've paid for fsd then you get hw3- at the MCU upgrade - same as early USA installs
if you have the FSD option then you will get the upgraded FSD/AP computer at some point whether it’s HW2 or HW2.5. You can’t have the FSD option in earlier cars that that.
The MCU upgrade has to be paid for but given the interaction of the MCU and FSD/AP computer and the cabling changes, if you sign up for the MCU upgrade and you are eligible for an AP upgrade then it makes sense to do both at the same time
For clarity you won’t get an MCU upgrade free if you get the AP/FSD upgrade and Tesla don’t offer a discounted MCU upgrade when doing the AP/FSD upgrade.
I listen to DAB too much to want an MCU upgrade. My option is a new car.

How good is TuneIn on an MCU2 car?
It's not great on my MCU1 car - not sure if it's just the cellular reception, or MCU1.

I only listen to Tuneln Radios and the reception is very good (at least in Switzerland). France and Germany have also a good reception.

I've just booked mine in for the upgrade. They said they couldn't give me a definitive price because they're waiting on the price for the tuner part. Does this mean UK will get FM and DAB tuner with MCU2? It's definitely technically possible as someone did a DIY upgrade with the tuner module working .
