Important Note:

This HMI 2.5 module firmware is only compatible with GM vehicles in the European market. It is not compatible with the HMI 2.5 module in the North American market GM vehicles.

The Firmware file was retrieved for the European Insignia vehicle, but it should be compatible with all European GM vehicles that use the HMI 2.5 module.

The Firmware file for the North American market GM vehicles HMI 2.5 module can be found at this Web-Link.

Mega link for HMI 2.5 Firmware file 84156714.

You can use this firmware file to update the HMI 2.5 module via a USB stick, which will add the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features.

This file does not remove the theft lock from the HMI module.

Click here for the HMI 2.0 and HMI 2.5 theft-lock removal DPS file for North America Satellite radio.

Click here for the HMI 2.0 and HMI 2.5 theft-lock removal DPS file for the Europe SilverBox radio.

 

After completing the HMI 2.5 firmware update, you will see "calibrate Device" showing on the screen. You can use one of the three options below to remove the "calibrate Device" notification and have the HMI module functioning again.

  1. You will need to use the GM SPS service with a VIN number from a car that has the HMI 2.5 and all the necessary features activated to program your HMI module.

  2. Program the HMI with a DPS archive made for the HMI 2.5 

  3. Use these files to program the HMI after a firmware update to Activate video in motion, RVS guide-lines and RVS always on for GM vehicles.

How to install the Firmware:

1. Extract the contents of the file onto a reputable USB stick.

2. Insert the USB stick into the vehicle's USB port.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

 

Check out this article, which demonstrates how to gain wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto for GM vehicles that use the HMI 2.5 module.

no, that's wrong in my opinion, many with different brands used this firmware without this issue. Arbe used this firmware on the same version of HMI with GPS option (23415900) . He's from Spain and for sure it was an Opel. 

Yep,

 

File 84156713 is for IO5 (HMI without integrated NAV)

File 84156714 is for IO6 (HMI with integrated NAV)

 

An update file should not be used for a system for which it is not designed. There are many risks of something going wrong.

Hi, what is the process of updating HMI 2.5 to have also Android Auto in Opel Insignia 2016? The car already has Apple CarPlay... 

I have the j2534 and can work with SPS tool. Is it only to update the firmware through SPS or anything else is needed? (e.g. some file to upload through USB) 

THANK YOU

Hi, I have HMI 2.5 with firmware 84156709 in my Opel Insignia. In Android Auto, the steering wheel buttons (next/previous) don’t work, but they do in Apple CarPlay. Only the radio panel buttons work with Android Auto. Does firmware 84156714 fix this issue?

Update to latest FW first, sure.

Also RADIO and IPC modules must have latest USB updates with vehicle-appropriate calibrations.

I have not used intermediate software, so cannot comment if this is a known bug.

Is it possible to do a calibration via USB?

No, only via OBD2 port, with a compatible J2534 tool. Either through SPS2 or with DPS, if you have files.

Does anyone know where to get the HMI setup/config utility? I've put in my VIN and my HMI 2.5 donor VIN into SPS but only get programming as an option.

Not much is done with that Setup/Config, so don't chase it.
I can share Type4 App for this a bit later on.

Is a firmware update available for North America?

Yes, but unfortunately, I don't have a copy. If anyone out there has a copy of the North American HMI 2.5 firmware that includes the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features, please share it with me so I can upload it to the website. Many people have requested this firmware file.

I've never seen nor heard of that issue before.

Try disconnecting the vehicle battery for 3 minutes. Reinsert the USB stick and try again.

I've tried several times, but it always gets stuck here. Could it be an EMMC error? Can I rewrite it with DPS?

Not sure. No, you can't program the firmware using DPS. You could try a different USB stick. Have you had success programming this firmware to other HMI modules in the past?
