(MX64_V2.01.0051.05-9-R-210326)

Not suitable for cars with a different original firmware

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.

All three 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.

• 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: 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.

Unzip the three files imx6.ini, imx6.bin and imx6ap.bin onto an empty FAT32-formatted USB stick.

1. Switch the car on and plug the stick into the USB port in the centre console. A window should open automatically with the message Stock firmware 0051 — press Revert and confirm. This message looks the same for all three sticks. 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 (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.
2. 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.

1. Switch the car on and plug the stick into the USB port in the centre console.
2. Open Settings › About › Factory Reset and confirm.
3. The car restarts and flashes for a few minutes with a progress bar. Wild things happen here again, as described above.

1. Pull out the stick as soon as flashing has finished. Pull out the stick and reset the head unit by pressing both thumbwheels on the steering wheel for 10 s, or switch the car off and lock it, wait a moment and switch it on again, so that the head unit reboots.
2. The first start takes longer than normal, don't panic; after that the car runs on the original software again.

⚠️ Simply switching off and on again does not start the flashing — only a restart from the running system (factory reset or the Connect app) does, unless you have a car with this head unit firmware version but without the USB hub on the head unit that the DAB radio is also connected to.
