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.
* Asecond USB-C stick is required for the software update for the Android control unit (see parts information for
part number).
* 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 also includes new software for the MIB3 infotainment system. Useful information for
MIB3 software updates can be found in TSB 2060523, 97 MIB3: Software Update Instructions.
Repair procedure
1. Manual software update for AED control unit (DA 078E) via red menu
If the update has already been attempted but was aborted, check whether the Android control unit (078E) already
has software version 0727. If this is the case, please skip step 1.
The AED control unit can only be updated via the red menu in the MMI. On these vehicles, the menu can no
longer be activated manually via the MMI touchscreen. Please proceed as follows:
Use the following functions in ODIS-S:
Use “Flash” mode
SVM — special functions
Activation of update menu (red menu)
Perform test
Complete/Next
Follow the instructions in ODIS — at a certain point you will be prompted to insert the USB update medium (DA
0078E) in the USB connection (refer to “Parts information” for part number).
The control unit will then switch to update mode and the update will start automatically. During this period, the
control unit will perform multiple resets and the image on the display will change multiple times.
When a list of MMI control units is shown, please scroll to the bottom on the MMI, press “Resume” and finish the
update by selecting “Quit”. This will close the red menu completely. The system will perform another restart.
Wait until the MMI has fully initialized. The home screen must be complete and display all apps.

This will be dealt with later. Finish entering the SVM code by selecting “Complete/Next”.
4. 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.
