 This version is only suitable for cars on which this same version is or was installed. See ''Settings › About''.
 For older versions of the same car type with a software version of the ''…05-9…'' line, e.g. 0046, this version would be an update, but that has never been tested in a real car. Flashing this version from a USB stick completely replaces the operating system, apps and all data. A head unit that had a newer version installed, or a car of a different line, should not get this version — it may then no longer be compatible with the instrument panel.
+===== Which file fits my car? =====
+All five downloads contain the same operating system 0051; they differ only in the apps, the **app build**. Take the one that fits your car: under ''Settings › About'' tap the version entry about **5 times**; then the **System**, **MCU** and **AP version** are shown. The **AP version** ends in your app build. **Write it down before flashing** — afterwards the car shows the stick's version.
+^ AP version ends in ^ Download ^ Status ^
+| **_052** | stock-0051-ap052-raw.zip | flashed several times on our test head unit |
+| **_060** | stock-0051-ap060-raw.zip | flashed on our test head unit (11 October 2026), app build 060 afterwards |
+| **_102** | stock-0051-ap102-raw.zip | flashed on our test head unit (15 October 2026), app build 102 afterwards |
+| **_104** | stock-0051-ap104-raw.zip | flashed on our test head unit (11 October 2026), app build 104 afterwards |
+| **_108** | stock-0051-ap108-raw.zip | flashed on our test head unit (24 October 2026), app build 108 afterwards |
+  * With firmware 0051 the **System version** ends in **_060**. If it ends in **_052**, your car still has an older firmware, e.g. 0046 — then each of these sticks is an update of the operating system (see above).
+  * Other app builds (e.g. 076 or 086) we don't have yet.
+  * Which AP, System and MCU versions belong together: [[:software:versions|Head unit versions]].
+  * The apps of 060 and 104 come from backups of cars that were still in their original state — not from a manufacturer package. Both backups were checked: no trace of ADC in them.
+  * The apps of 102 and 108 were checked too: no trace of ADC in them.
+  * **102, 104 and 108** speak a different "language" with the MCU than 052 and 060: never flash them onto a car with MCU version _030, _052 or _060 ([[:software:versions|Head unit versions]]).
 ===== What's inside =====
-^ File ^ Contents ^
+Each download is the image of a USB stick: one FAT32 partition holding exactly these three files.
-| ''imx6.bin'' | The original operating system 0051: kernel, recovery, Android system and configuration |
-| ''imx6ap.bin'' | the apps (vendor partition, app build 052), the data image and the boot logo — identical to version 0046 |
+  * **imx6.bin** — The original operating system 0051: kernel, recovery, Android system and configuration
-| ''imx6.ini'' | the flash instructions: writes boot, recovery, system, vendor, data and logo, but **never** the bootloader and **never** the MCU firmware |
+  * **imx6ap.bin** — the apps (vendor partition, app build 052, 060, 102, 104 or 108 depending on the download), the data image and the boot logo — data image and logo are identical to version 0046 in all five downloads, and so are the apps in the 052 download
+  * **imx6.ini** — the flash instructions: writes boot, recovery, system, vendor, data and logo, but **never** the bootloader and **never** the MCU firmware

+We tested the image format on 18 October 2026 on our test head unit and in a car.
+===== Writing the stick =====
+The ZIP contains an ''.img'' file: the image of a complete USB stick. It is **not copied** but **written** onto the stick with an imaging tool. Afterwards the stick is byte for byte the one we tested, however it was formatted before. This **erases everything on the stick**. Any stick of 1 GB or more will do.
-Unzip the three files ''imx6.ini'', ''imx6.bin'' and ''imx6ap.bin'' onto an empty **FAT32-formatted** USB stick.
+  - Unzip the ZIP (right-click › **Extract All**) — that gives the ''.img'' file.
+  - **Windows: Rufus** ([[https://rufus.ie|rufus.ie]], the portable version needs no installation): pick the stick under **Device**, open the ''.img'' file with **SELECT**, press **START**, confirm the erase and wait until the status says **READY**.
+  - **macOS: dd** in the Terminal: ''diskutil list'' shows the stick (e.g. ''/dev/disk4''), then ''diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4'' and ''sudo dd if=stock-0051-ap060-raw.img of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=1m'' (adjust the file name and the number).
+  - **Linux: dd** — ''lsblk'' shows the stick (e.g. ''/dev/sdb''), then ''sudo dd if=stock-0051-ap060-raw.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress''.
+  - ⚠️ With ''dd'', make sure it really is the stick — a wrong device overwrites another disk.
+  - Afterwards the stick shows a 750–860 MB drive with exactly ''imx6.ini'', ''imx6.bin'' and ''imx6ap.bin''. Don't copy anything onto it. If Windows asks to format the drive: **Cancel**.
+  - balenaEtcher works on many computers too; if it stops with "The writer process ended unexpectedly", use Rufus.

+  - Switch the car on and plug the stick into the **USB port in the centre console**. A window should open automatically with a row like **Stock Firmware · AP _102** (from ADC 0.14.15 on it names the stick's app build; older versions show **Stock firmware 0051** for every stick) — press **Revert** and confirm. From ADC 0.14.7 on, the Connect app checks when you press **Revert** whether the stick's apps fit your car's MCU, and refuses otherwise ([[:software:versions|Head unit versions]]). ⚠️ That only covers this button: if the head unit restarts while the stick is plugged in, it flashes it without any check — for example after a factory reset, and on cars without the USB hub already when you switch on (see ⚠️ below). So still check yourself beforehand (see above) and pull out a refused stick straight away.
   - After a check of the correct version, this firmware is installed automatically. Some interesting effects happen along the way — don't let them confuse you. First a white screen builds up from top to bottom, then the head unit reboots a few times with different messages. In between it's completely dark for a moment, nothing dramatic. Since the bootloader can't be overwritten, there should always be a way to install a new firmware.
