Retrofit Uconnect 5 to 7 500x 1.6 2015 Lounge

Post by Federico1979 »

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a retrofit from Uconnect 5 to Uconnect 7 on my 2015 Fiat 500X 1.6 Lounge.

I installed a Uconnect 7 VP2 EMEA DAB NAV (software version 23.03.67.12). At first boot, without having performed a proxy alignment, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto worked immediately, but the NAV didn’t show up and the mileage never blinked.

My previous Uconnect 5 unit had both DAB and NAV (TomTom).

Using original Multiecuscan + ELM327, I found an error on the ETM module, so I decided to proceed with proxy modification.

My original proxy was 145 bytes long. My car is equipped with: ACC, Lane Assist, automatic lights and wipers, and the mode selector.

Original byte values:

Byte 30: 10

Byte 38: 00

Byte 121: C5

Byte 123: D5

Byte 130: 81

Proxy string (original):

Code: Select all

33 38 33 33 34 30 33 30 32 34 37 4F 55 54 50 55 54 2D 53 49 54 20 15 02 23 4F 04 20 45 10 00 18 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4F 04 20 45 10 00 18 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 FA 0F 02 AC 82 07 E2 50 27 A9 07 40 10 10 03 A3 28 54 92 01 35 73 14 01 4F 03 34 1B B3 A8 02 49 03 05 00 A2 00 0D FB 00 00 10 01 00 05 02 54 91 64 06 AD 40 52 00 01 8A 12 3D 40 00 01 03 C5 00 D5 48 10 08 00 49 02 81 12 73 52 80 00 00 8B AA 95 71 20 80 80 85 00
Then I extended the proxy to 160 bytes, modifying the red-highlighted bytes and appending zeroes:

Code: Select all

33 38 33 33 34 30 30 31 35 30 35 4F 55 54 50 55 54 2D 53 49 54 20 15 02 23 4F 04 20 45 10 00 18 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4F 04 20 45 10 00 18 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 FA 0F 02 AC 82 07 E2 50 27 A9 07 40 10 10 03 A3 28 54 92 01 35 73 14 01 4F 03 34 1B B3 A8 02 49 03 05 00 A2 00 0D FB 00 00 10 01 00 05 02 54 91 64 06 AD 40 52 00 01 8A 12 3D 40 00 01 03 C5 00 D5 48 10 08 00 49 02 81 12 73 52 80 00 00 8B AA 95 71 20 80 80 85 00 00 00 [b]05[/b] 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [b]01[/b] 00 00 [b]01[/b]
Modified bytes:

Byte 148: 05 (Uconnect 7)

Byte 157: 01 (Apple CarPlay)

Byte 160: 01 (Android Auto)

I saved and wrote the new proxy to the BCM. During the write process, when the ETM rebooted, I got this error:

Entertainment Telematic Node (ETM) FAILED! - Timeout error

After cycling the ignition and restarting the Uconnect 7, I noticed that some apps from my old Uconnect 5 reappeared (e.g., “My Drive” with fuel consumption info), and a new app I had never seen before—“Baidu Car Life”—also showed up.
However, Android Auto and CarPlay stopped working, even though they were previously functional without proxy alignment (with the original 145-byte proxy).

--Update --
Hi all
