Technical product information

Customer statement I workshop findings
The vehicle is to be fitted with 21" winter tyres or 20" snow chains and the infotainment unit is
displaying only 20" winter tyre

Technical background
Currently the Infotainment unit (RNS) is programmed during manufacture to display only the 20" winter
tyre option.
If the vehicle is to be fitted with 21" winter tyre option or 20" snow chain option then additional software
can be loaded into the infotainment system to enable the correct tyre detail to be displayed

Production change
It is expected that these additional winter tyre options will be incorporated into the software during the
2013 MY production

Measure

Figure 1
If the vehicle is to have 21" winter tyre or 20" snow chains fitted and these options are not currently
offered up for selection in the infotainment unit (see Figure 1) then the following process can be
performed

3

Technical product information

Process 1: Check current software level
1. To check current software level
•

If not already powered up switch on Infotainment unit via ON/OFF button

Figure 2
•

Once the unit has powered up press and hold the CAR button for at least 5 seconds. That is until
the screen displays Radio service mode (see Figure 2 and 3)

Figure 3
•

In the Radio service mode screen select Version info (see Figure 3)

4

Technical product information

Figure 4
•

In the Version info screen note the Delivery part number, HW-Version and the SW-Version

•

Reference the displayed Delivery part number, HW-Version and SW-Version against the chart
shown in figure 5 below. If the numbers displayed are all listed in the same row in the left hand,
production part, columns of the chart, then the infotainment unit software update will be required
before the additional winter tyre options can be selected. In this case process 3 will have to be
carried out followed by process 2.

•

If the numbers currently displayed on the infotainment unit are listed in the same row on the right of
the chart, figure 5, the vehicle already has the software necessary to enable the additional winter
tyre options to be selected. This is performed by coding channel 143 and enabling the necessary
TPMS data set. In this case process 2 only will be required.

Technical product information

The following coding operation should only take place once the correct winter tyre text software has
been confirmed in process 1 and if not present installed via process 3.
1. Coding Channel 143
1. Ensure a suitable battery charger is correctly connected to the vehicles electrical system for the
duration of this procedure
2. Connect the VAS 5052A vehicle diagnostic computer to the vehicle. As an SVM is required the
Bluetooth connection is not recommended
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn on the ignition

9. Referencing the table below select the appropriate input value for channel number 143 for the tyre
to be fitted. Enter that value using the virtual slider, then selectSave. The example in Figure 11
shows the correct value (5) to be entered into channel 143 to enable the use of 20 "Snow Chain

Process 3: Infotainment unit software update
IMPORTANT: When performing software updates it is always advisable to attach prominent warning
signs on the vehicle alerting other people within the dealership that a software update is in progress.
It should be clear to personnel in the vicinity of the vehicle that whilst the updates are in progress the
ignition state should not be changed the battery charger or any associated equipment must not be
removed or switched off

Note: Ensure a suitable battery charger is correctly connected to the vehicle electrical system for the
duration of this procedure
