Silver-Box Radio module firmware update for Apple CarPlay-AndroidAuto

Silver-Box Radio module firmware update for Apple CarPlay-Android Auto

Use this file to update your HMI-2 SilverBox to HMI-2.5 specs.

Instead of changing the SilverBox, you can update the firmware.

Without a firmware update, you will have issues when receiving phone calls in the vehicle.

This firmware is only compatible with the European SilverBox radio module. I will not work with the North American satellite radio.

 

Extract the firmware files onto a reputable USB memory stick, insert it into the vehicle's USB port, and follow the on-screen instructions.

hello troy. Will this update fix the problem of the voice button(for Siri) on the steering wheel? (problem: When the button is pressed, it gives the warning "Bluetooth conversation is not available" and Siri does not work) So, does this update also activate the keys when using Apple Carplay?

It depends. This file will only fix issues if you have upgraded your HMI-2 to HMI-2.5.

Did you upgrade your HMI-2 to HMI-2.5?

You could try the firmware. I don't know if it will solve your issues.

So how do I do the update? Which tool should I use? What is the method?

As mentioned in the file description.

Extract the firmware files onto a reputable USB memory stick and place it into the vehicle's USB port, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Do you have navigation on that HMI?  If so, if you go in to type an address and press the voice icon, do you also get bluetooth is not available?

I'm trying to think of another spot you can test.  I had this issue with an HMI that came from Europe and had a different USB installation than US.

No Mr. I asked Silverbox Firmware Update file. I don't know if the update file will solve my problem. That's why I don't want to buy a $60 monthly membership.( my HMI number 8408 8999, I think HMI p/n is 453116246)

You don't need a video. Extract the radio firmware files onto a USB stick, insert the USB stick into the vehicle's USB port, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Make sure the vehicle's battery is good and fully charged.

Okay, do I need to have the 2.5 him plug in? Or leave the 2.0 in? 
Once I extract the files do I just copy and paste onto the usb? Or create folder then paste? I know this sounds stupid but I’ve tried this.

I've already Updated my OPC 2015 and it works just fine 🙏 But the DAB+ not working or just barely, is there a solution for that ?

Check your stick's partitioning scheme and file system. Must be MBR and FAT32

Is this file ok for update the silverbox when I have U4D DAB+, and UQA Infinity sound?

And is there a need of calibration after like in HMI update ?

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if there is a way for myself to program an hmi 2.5 to my vin instead of sending the module out

Hi, this file can be used with the DPS software to change the VIN yourself in the HMI 2.5. You can also use the same file in the future to change the VIN in the HMI or radio module in your friend's or client's vehicles.
