Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

[rob4448585]

Radio doesn't appear, and the 10 radio stations I added as favorites just before I dropped off my Tesla for the upgrade are all gone. Looks like they covered all edge cases as part of this Infotainment upgrade.

Thanks for this information, this is a bit concerning, as it makes it appear that Telsa has removed the option from the MCU and simply plugging in the digital tuner will NOT give us FM/XM radio.

That has already been covered, there is a new car configuration option that tells it if there is a compatible tuner or not. So no plug and play.

My Infotainment upgrade has been completed. Dropped off my Model S on Friday, and picked up a few hours ago. Here's my details writeup.

-----

Summary: This is possibly the best $2500 you will even spend on your Model S/X.


My Vehicle: 2017 Model S P100D, built and delivered in September 2017. It is equipped with MCU1, AP 2.5 and I have the Full Self Driving pre-purchased. It’s fully wrapped with a graphic wrap and had no issues with Tesla performing the upgrade. I was already running 2020.12 prior to the upgrade. Still running 2020.12 after the upgrade. I only noticed that they pushed out 2020.12 just once after it was all completed. I assume that the option codes were updated, so when 2020.12 was re-installed it added all of the new “stuff” that is supported on MCU2.

Here are the details that might interest some of you.

• You do get a new MCU screen. Mine still had the plastic protective wrap on it which I remove when I got into the vehicle.
• You do get a new IC screen.
• All settings are retained except for. (1) WIFI settings/connections, (2) Bluetooth settings/pairings, (3) Web browser favorites.
• Trip values, and custom labels are retained.
• Seat positions, mirror positions, and driver profile settings for each driver remain.
• Navigation history and favorites are retained.
• Favorite audio stations are retained (Slacker, and Tune-In)
• Historical audio stations are also retained.
• The warning “beeps” that Joe Mode reduces are much louder than with MCU1. This may freak you out at first, but it's loud. It will sure get your attention.
• Two type of vehicle calibrations are needed. (1) One for Autopilot basic features, (2) One for lane changes with/without notification. If you go into the Autopilot Settings you’ll that the second one only starts to calibrate once the first one has been completed.
• Wifi appears much quicker
• LTE appears much quicker. It still connects to 3G when out of 4G and LTE range. The bar visuals have no change, but connection is much quicker.
• The games had to be downloaded for the 1st time. You need Wifi for this.
• There was a required Navigation update that had to be done over WIFI.
• Overall, the MCU is 100x quicker. HUGE improvement in responsiveness. HUGE improvement in refresh of data on the screen.
• Visuals on IC2 are 100x smoother and more detailed than before. Animation is 100x better as well, and so smooth.
• All visuals (garbage cans, cones, lights, road markings, bike land markings, etc…) all appear on IC2
• I did have to re-enable Ambient Lights. Maybe they turned it off during the install.
• The scroll wheels are hugely responsive. Each scroll now is recorded whereas before I would have to scroll a few times for it to reduce the volume or the temperature (both scroll wheels behave the same, so it was not a defective scroll wheels). Now, they operate so smoothly and with immediate response.
• I have the Premium Audio (which was standard on my MS). Before the upgrade I had a EQ that went to 12. Now it only goes to 8. It also has Immersive Sound with three options, however I tested it out with a variety of music (classical, dance, gansta rap, disco, pop, and Spanish), and they all sound the same. I think before I had Off and Dolby Surround. Now I don’t see Dolby listed anywhere.
• The release notes, manual all appears immediately. No issues with a blank screen anymore.
• YouTube works perfectly (like your iPhone in portrait mode where the vide is on the top, followed by meta-data below it). Sound quality is impressive for YouTube.
• I got my USB Drive working again. Just plugged it in. Before I dropped it off, I got the “USB Full” false positive error that everyone is reporting (even on 2020.12), but when I just plugged it in after the upgrade, it works perfectly. Not too sure why as I had 2020.12 before and after the upgrade. Very happy that it’s recording both Sentry and Dashcam again. It’s the S500 - TeslaCam SSD Extreme from PureTesla if anyone is curious.
• There is no FM/AM/XM radio. We knew that, but I just wanted to confirm this finding in the event you were hopeful.
• I did not get to keep the old MCU1/IC1. There was a $1000 core charge if I wanted to keep it.
• I did not notice any sort of USB charging speed increase (in case you were thinking that the amperage might be increased).
• Before you drop off your vehicle, turn off any Vehicle PIN you might have setup. You will need to re-enable it once you get your Tesla back.
• When you re-pair your Tesla with your iPhone, the name will now change to Tesla Model S followed by the name of your vehicle. Before the default was just Tesla Model S.
• When I re-connected my Tesla to my home WIFI, it shows up with a new MAC address, and the manufacture of the chipset appears to be LG Innotek now (previously it was Parrot SA). I’ve only noticed a 2.4ghz connection, but I’m sure it will switch to 5.0ghz when it needs to download something heavy (software, game updates, another navigation update).

Note: I mention x100 throughout the above bullets not as a exact measurement, but as a emotion statement to indicate that it's so damn quick. It's night and day!

Did they change the cameras ? Ie does Sentry record in color or black and white ?

 

[Akikiki]

They are not going to be changing cameras guys. Hope, pray, beg, grovel, but don't count on it. Don't be disappointed when they tell you.

TeslaCam does record now the rear camera?

 

[MP3Mike]

Did they change the cameras ? Ie does Sentry record in color or black and white ?

He had AP2.5 so already has color cameras. Retrofits for AP2.0 haven't started yet.

 

[Alset4S]

Is this use case faster? MCU1/ap2. I note that oncoming traffic display on the IC is delayed. There is a quarter second latency. Car goes by, then image of car goes by. Kinda distracting like hearing dialog on a movie before lips move when out of sync. So, is this latency improved? Is this an unimportant visual thing (mcu/ic)? Or is this latency part of the AP system (AP hw).

Hmmm wonder why I don't have latency.

 

[BeesKnees]

Hmmm wonder why I don't have latency.

other variable could be miles. I’m almost at 60k in 3 yrs. so full specs: S90D feb ‘17, ap2.0, 60k miles. And getting high latency.

Thanks!! My 2018 MS was built in Feb, hoping my number will come up soon (I have FSD and will absolutely opt for this MCU2 upgrade to be done when they upgrade mine to AP3.

Have you tried the Web app for Tesla Winds with your new MCU2? Very fun thing to have showing tail wind/headwind/airspeed, and if there are improvements on latency from MCU2 speed and/or LTE speed it would be great.

Dumb question for you, Did you get FSD computer upgrade at the same time?

I just dropped my car of for the MCU upgrade and they WON't do my FSD upgrade. They said you must wait for the VIN grouping to become avaliable.

I requested they check again and verify it.

Also you said you lost Dolby feature?? do you think it is on all the time now? I notice a big difference in my premium sound system, I hope we dont loose it.

They told me I would only have the center screen replaced, NOT the IC screen. are you sure you got a new one?

They also told me my FM radio will remain. I never use it by was very specific on what would change with this upgrade.

I'm probably one of the first upgrades on the East coast and I don't know if they even know what there getting into.

MCU2 did not have Dolby Surround. It introduced Immersive Sound (or Surround?) that was its equivalent.

I hope so, That made the difference for the premium Sound system.

 

[Nosken]

other variable could be miles. I’m almost at 60k in 3 yrs. so full specs: S90D feb ‘17, ap2.0, 60k miles. And getting high latency.

I have also have a Feb 2017 Delivery S90D AP2 w/ 90K miles. I recently deleted ALL my previous destinations in the Nav--yes--one by one!. It helped, and Tesla Service remotely deleted some internal files--saying there were a few that were corrupted--Still some, but little latency.

They have to replace the IC, IC1 is not compatible with IC2

Also you said you lost Dolby feature?? do you think it is on all the time now? I notice a big difference in my premium sound system, I hope we dont loose it.

They told me I would only have the center screen replaced, NOT the IC screen. are you sure you got a new one?

They also told me my FM radio will remain. I never use it by was very specific on what would change with this upgrade.

I'm probably one of the first upgrades on the East coast and I don't know if they even know what there getting into.

Yikes! it’s scary they are this un informed.
somethin doesn’t add up.

Does summon work a bit more reliably with the MCU2 update? I find even just summon fwd and backward to be a bit unresponsive and unreliable.

Did they change the cameras ? Ie does Sentry record in color or black and white ?

No change of cameras needed. Color before and after the infotainment + HW3 upgrade.

Hi, did u receive the email from tesla or u just requested the update?

We all got that one email titled "Coming Soon — Your Infotainment Upgrade" on March 2nd. I took a screen shot of that email and attached it to my service appointment and stated that I had a AP2.5 MCU1 Model S and would like to purchase the infotainment upgrade for 2500 + Tax. They verified that my VIN qualified and said no problem.

TeslaCam does record now the rear camera?

I hae to check. I just re-plugged in my USB hard drive, so I'll have to verify but the original article (Infotainment Upgrade) said that "Records from front, rear and side cameras for DashCam and Sentry Mode in cars with the Full Self-Driving Computer"
