Firmware 5.14

[nanimac]

Went to the service center yesterday to get my tires rotated and got updated to 5.14. Don't notice any differences yet.

Had a firmware update at Devon (PA) Service Center #5.12 (1.64.39) because the voice control was not responding. Now the voice control works but Slacker Radio doesn't.

I had 5.14 for about a week now. Traffic no longer uses the dotted red and dotted yellow. Green, yellow, solid bright red and solid dark red are the new colors. I like it, don't have any issue with 5.14 or 5.12.

Also, the navigation route line that was often overlapping over, and hiding the traffic lines does not do that any more. There are some members complaining about that before.

As discussed in another thread, the traffic overlay on Google Maps probably does not have anything to do with the updates. Several members (including me) never got any update recently, but have the new overlay. It probably comes from a (Google? Tesla?) server, much like the map itself, and does not depend on your firmware version.

That's my experience. Still on 5.9 (and am in no hurry upgrade) but got the solid line overlay.

It appears to be that way on all systems. I see that on 5.09.

Got my car back. The SC installed 5.14 on it.

That is a server side change. I'm on 5.12 and had the traffic color change happen almost 2 weeks ago... There's a thread around here someplace about it...

Do you have the specific version number (from the about screen)? Wondering if there is yet another 5.14 out there.

 

[swegman]

It is 1.66.31 according to VisibleTesla.

 

[pgiralt]

Just to add to the mystery of the 5.14 release, the version number for the 6.0 release is 1.65.X while the 5.14 release is 1.66.X which should imply 5.14 is a newer release. Definitely seems like they came up with the 5.14 release at some point after they were already close to shipping 6.0 and had already numbered that release branch.

morning all, sorry if this is common knowledge, i'm unaware.. is there a spreadsheet, wiki article, chart, that lists and correlates fw release and version numbers?, perhaps with earliest known release date? does that exist anywhere?

thanks!

Then why call it 5.14 and not a higher dot number on 5.12?

Yes, here:

Anyone can contribute to it.

Might be a different branch of the code. Usually the smallest dot number indicates changes to the same code base.

Also noting for anyone else that there is a whole Wiki section of TMC that is accessed via the black menu bar at the top of every screen.

Not sure what all the changes are between 5.12 and 5.14 but there is one change that I know for sure. In the past if you were listening to an FM station, and then switched to an AM station and that AM station was a saved/favorite station, the call letters from the FM station would become part of the saved AM station number. So here in Seattle, if I was listening to 93.3 FM "KUBE", then switched to AM 710, the call letters "KUBE" would be inherited on the AM side for the station I had saved as AM 710. This would update depending on whatever the last FM station was that you were listening to before switching over to AM. This issue had been resolved in one of the earlier revisions but then it came back when 5.12 was installed on my car. After 5.14 was installed by the great folks at the Seattle Service Center, the issue went away and it no longer is inheriting the FM station call letters when you go from FM to AM. What else was fixed/enhanced with 5.14 I am not sure of.

Was told at the SC today that they cannot update me from 5.14 to 6.0 at the Service Center. Instead, I have to wait for an over-the-air update. Thought that was odd, but it's a new car so maybe there is some limitation.

 

[swegman]

I was told the something at the SC today. Cars with 5.14 have to be updated via over the air download. Maybe because the code in 5.14 is newer than the code in 6.0? In this regard, someone posted that the cars with speed alert and lane departure are running 5.14, as 6.0 is not compatible with these features.
