Replacing China Firmware with USA

[Medyo]

To cut the story short, I have a Model Y imported from China to the Philippines (Teslas are not available here). The map being used is Baidu (China) and it doesn't cover the Philippines, thus I'm not able to use it.

Is there a way (if this is even the best method to fix the issue) to replace the firmware installed to a U.S. firmware instead so the maps application starts using Google Maps?

Does anyone have any suggestions on avenues I can explore? Searched this forum already and Googled my issue but nothing really comes up with the situation I am going through.

For my MYP in the US, it has a separate navigation package that occasionally gets updated, so I don’t think it works the way you think it does.

You’d be better off mounting a smartphone near the screen and using that to navigate. As I would guess that, if Tesla aren’t selling there, they probably also don’t have a navigation package for that region either.

If you can not change your firmware, add Apple CarPlay or Android auto to your center screen using Tesla Android Project . I have been using it for a few years. If your car is newer than 2021, you can build your own system easy. If car is older, buy their premade bundle since you’ll need the large WiFi antenna.

Firmware is coded to the VIN. Tesla keeps track of all info for deploying OTA updates of the vehicle software. Hence, rooting the system to hack it's geolocation would be next to impossible without some serious coding apparatus.
