Important information before updating the software
+ Anewly developed test program is used to input the SVM code. Please ensure that the tester being used has the latest ODIS
update. The new test program for software updates is included in ODIS software.
Note: The vehicle uses acoustic signals and flashing lights to indicate when user input is required during and at the
end of the test program.
+ Important: Please prepare the required USB-C sticks (see parts information) before starting the repair. The update
media can be used for multiple vehicles.
+ This update package includes new software for the MIB3 infotainment system. Useful information for MIB3 software updates
can be found in TSB 2060523.
+ There will be extended inactive periods for some of the steps. You can work on a different vehicle during this time. This is
considered in the warranty accounting instructions.
+ When carrying out this TSB, time stamps are not required for billing under warranty.

calibration of instrument cluster (0017)
Use the function “SVM - Multiple authorized code inputs” in “Flash” mode.

The automatic execution of software updates results in inactive time. This is taken into account in the warranty accounting
instructions.
The USB-C stick can be removed after completing the program.
If the procedure has been interrupted, please repeat step 1. The test program will then automatically perform the
missing part of the update.
2. Bus sleep mode
Put the vehicle in bus sleep mode after performing the software update.
Then switch the ignition back on and start the MMI.
3. Check emergency call LED
Check whether the emergency call LED in the roof module lights up in green again.
If the LED does not turn green, please contact TAC using a technical repair inquiry, and referencing this TSB.
4. End diagnostic session and upload the log to GFF Paperless.
