Has anyone heard whether those with grandfathered lifetime premium connectivity will get to retain it after an MCU 2 upgrade?

From the page for goodness sakes: Infotainment Upgrade
>> Note: Some features enabled by the Infotainment Upgrade require a Premium Connectivity subscription of $9.99 per month plus applicable tax. You may already have Premium Connectivity. Confirm your status in your Tesla Account.

The website mentions that nothing changes in regard to this, so it seems that yes.

Nice way for Tesla to reduce the cost of labor associated with HW3 upgrade for FSD Buyers...asking them for more money (nothing wrong with that, I suppose ..).
However, I don't plan on upgrading to MCU2..I shall see how much this pushes my FSD/HW3 upgrade out...

Does anyone know if the upgrade will bring the bluetooth phone profile to 4.0 for hd calling? My 2009 Prius which is old tech sounds way better than my Tesla which is worse than useless. My new Prius has HD calling and sounds amazing on both ends. It would be awesome to have the phone profile sound good for a change.
Really? The Ultra Premium Sound (if you got the option) with MCU1 easily rivals the Mark Levinson in my Lexus.
Ironic thing is that many cell phones of the past had FM radios built into the phone, and even now many phones have chips that would allow FM radio but are not enabled by the manufactures.
I guess I'll have to go back to using my HTC One; It had a great FM radio. Old tech for a $100K car.

If it is the new digital tuner, I think you will lose AM. I think AM was only on the older analog tuner. Anyone know if the analog tuner will work with MCU upgrade @verygreen?

It is confirmed that HW2 cars (like mine) have 8 B/W cameras (they are not really B/W, but are tuned to only a small set of colors).
HW2.5 and HW3 cars have 8 RGB cameras (full realistic colors)
Therefore I was inferring (no direct knowledge of it) that if they swap my MCU1 with MCU2 and HW2 with HW3 I will end up in the following hardware configuration:
MCU2+HW3+B/W cameras
as opposed to a new car that has:
MCU2+HW3+RGB cameras

You are very right, I forgot about it.
Nevertheless, this is just an added bonus, because I have the right under European warranty system to an emmc repair in case it fails.
Did anyone else notice that the timing for “all others” changed from early April to “coming soon” on the Tesla website?

You're right, it did change.

There is nothing "grandfathered" about it. If Free Unlimited Premium Connectivity was a feature included in the purchase of your vehicle (shows on your vehicle page in your Tesla account), you have it. Period. The feature was tied to the vehicle you purchased, not a replaceable part.

Does anyone know if the sentry mode (recording) is tied to MCU or the HW3 computer? In other words, in order to get the recording saved in the car do I have to get MCU2 or will get HW3 be enough. I guess it is MCU that needs to be upgraded.
