I've had 2 MCU1 vehicles. The MCU1/AP2.5 combo was horrendous. Frequent black-screen-of-death, reboots, bugs galore. Ever since upgrading to MCU2 it is flawless. On the other hand my car with MCU1/AP1 is pretty good. I have never experienced a black screen and while not as smooth as MCU2 it's still very responsive and stable. I'm still going to upgrade to MCU2 eventually but for anyone wondering the MCU1/AP2, MCU1/AP2.5, and MCU1/AP3 seem to way more problematic than MCU1/AP1. I think the lack of cameras and therefore less processing workload has a lot to do with it.
How could MCU1/AP3 ever exist? I'm surprised there were any MCU1/AP2.5 cars built.
