Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2
- Thread starter MurrayJimW
- Start date
Manufacture date was December 2017. Definitely have AP2.5
I picked up my car today after they installed a new (remanufactured) MCU. The system works well and snappy as expect, but no data was carried over other than the odometer number. The service center was not in any mood to give up the old MCU even with the recent news stories about data leaks.
I'm sure my data is not safe on the old computer so I have to reset my home wifi password, Spotify password and hope that nobody wants to know all my GPS history.

Or your calendar entries, with email addresses; or your phone book and favorites; or your recent text messages; or your home and work address; or your most traveled routes and times. Lots more too, but those are the good ones.
Really don’t know. The description of mcu for hw 2.0/2.5/3.0 is odd for MCU1 given it really isn’t officially supported for HW3.0.
as is the S0-J suffix.
Well we will find out tomorrow. I noticed the hw3 compatibility and I thought MCU1 needs HW3 compatibility per Tesla's statement about not updating to MCU2 but getting FSD to work.
They mentioned that as a possibility but they seemed fairly confident they could do at least the MCU2. They were most worried about the HW3 part.
I'm just barely out of warranty so I'm hoping they either succeed and this is merely a cable part or they goodwill the temp MCU1 as I wait for this process to be finalized.
I have found time and again they never do anything the first day. Car doesn’t move, etc. seems to be scheduling incompetence as they are always backed up from prior jobs, etc.
I think the issue likely is either the upgrade failed or they partially succeeded and needed another part. But I texted and got no response and so all I can go by is the fact the car is still in service mode and the part they ordered to arrive today.
I really don't care how long it takes or whether they haven't done anything, as long as they succeed and my car is in good shape.
Definitely may be so here, but each time I take a car in; nothing happens the first day. And appointments are always 10 AM.
We have a December 2017 vehicle as well. When built, they were all AP2.5 and MCU1.
Mine was just before Labor Day, the approximate cutoff for beginning AP2.5 (with MCU1, of course).
@djcasava, short of buying a new car, your best option is to upgrade the door speakers with something such as the light harmonic package, and add a separate subwoofer. The consensus is the premium audio in S isn't as good as the audio system in the 3. An aftermarket upgrade will probably sound better and also be more economical.
Confirmed failed upgrade. New MCU1 installed. Will try again next month.
