MMI3G+ NAR (USA) problem with lector

Hello everyone . After converting MMI 3G+ NAR to EU and uploading the K0942_3 software and the latest 6.36.0 maps, I have a problem with the PL lector. In the green menu: nav/engineering then: Nav/Language here from the en_US language it will save the pl_PL language but after restarting the MMI it returns to the en_US language. For a moment, the PL lector in the navigation turns on, but after a while it is neither ANG nor PL, and in the green menu it returns to en_US. What could it be, did I make some mistake while editing/saving languages in eeprom? Does anything else need to be changed? Photo below:

Am I right in thinking that this is about the region code in the eeprom? Does the uploaded EU software change the region code in the eeprom or does it have to be changed manually in the eeprom?

Yes, with eeprom it probably reads only what is written and I could have made a mistake before uploading the software. This error is due to the fact that I did not select in nav/engeneering Nav/Language imissed on pl_PL immediately and en_US was left there. I try to upload the software again, but I will probably have to wipe the partition again?

As far as I can tell, the only data the MMI3GP software writes to the EEPROM is the release name (e.g., string "HN+R_EU_AU_K0942"), otherwise, other data in the EEPROM is read-only. I am also curious about where some of this persistent data (like GEM /config screen "language" and /nav/databaseupdate screen "internal region code" values) is stored across system power cycles/restarts. Inspection of the GEM screen definition files shows that the /config values come from "keyValue" calls, which I believe show only read-only data, while the /nav/databaseupdate information comes from "BIOSCtrl" calls. Maybe that's a hint ?
I'm still looking for a way to read EEPROM data from a QNX shell script, otherwise we need a tools like VCP and OBDeleven to access it. --g
I think this data is stored and run from flash. As for VCP, VCDS, I have it. I don't have OBDeleven.

I marked EU and pl_PL in the green menu wherever possible and re-uploaded the software and maps. It didn't help, the problem remained. I noticed that in /config:
Language HMI system: pl_PL is fine a
language Navi TTS: is en_US and cannot be changed.
In /nav/engineering - NavLanguage there is also en_US DB available 1 by
pl_PL DB available 0 . If I change it to pl_PL it doesn't save.

You suggest that the problem lies in the eeprom memory ? I'm thinking about it too .In addition to the languages, there is also a region code in eeprom. At the moment I don't remember what address, but after CP at the bottom it's probably 1 bayt?

What would you advise to do? I will also connect VCP and read the eeprom one more. I have another "set" of languages in a different order and not all that work correctly in MMI3G+ 8R1035670E in the car. Not the officially published ones document . If I have time today, I'll try it because I don't have time during the week.

I have loaded this other "set" of languages from PL into eeprom, but unfortunately nothing changes? I came to the conclusion that the language and lector do not work only with eeprom. Because I also have an old MMI3G Basic, the eeprom does not even include the PL language, but the MMI menu contains the PL language and lector.

I did ! Now it is correctly in the green menu and I still have to test it in the car. I didn't even know it was so simple, I'm laughing at it now :D. Fotos :

I had good languages in eeprom, either with the original language entry for the EU (the famous document) or with my "set" of languages. It's just not the eeprom's fault.

Thanks for your willingness to help me, but our assumptions were completely different. I wouldn't even call it a mistake.

It would be nice if the module in this MMI 3G+ NAR (USA) worked 3G because it works on 2G...

My second MMI UE 8R1035670E in the car works in 3G .

I'm in week I don't have time, so the MMI 8R1035746C sticker says IMEI: 3521x, which is probably only 2G, but I also have the GSM module from another unit, IMEI number: 3557x. I wonder if the conversion would work - plug&play?

I'm reading this topic. I have this GSM module from the 8R1035746E unit but I'm not sure, maybe a newer one writes UMTS on it? Photo:

Maybe I'll try to insert this one and see if it works hmm... and re-upload the latest software K0942_6 ( HN+US_AU3G_K0942_6(A4-A5-Q5-Q7 )
and then return to the EU version?
 
Discussion starter · #23 ·
After uploading K0942_6, the sim appeared on the screen but I do not have access to the green menu and there are no letters or numbers. I will soon activate the green menu via vcds and change the region, etc. I don't think this GSM module will work immediately without drivers if there are no drivers in the software, but maybe...

I loaded NAR maps last night. I set it in the green menu as you say ( fotos ) and the modem appears for a moment and then disappears? Do I need to set anything else?

This is what it looks like in my car, the EU unit 8R1035670E. There is a 3G signal

I'm fiddling around in the green menu, maybe something needs to be switched on or off. Maybe later I will re-download the NAR software again.

Good tip thanks. I will upload the NAR software again, if the GSM module does not work, I will try the EU software. I have an error on my phone because it doesn't display anything:

I will add that I program my second unit at home, but it does not matter because the antenna works.
MMI does not see the SIM card .

I re-uploaded the NAR software - the module appears and disappears in the green menu :

Well, I'm uploading the EU software...

Same for EU software. I can't beat this. So either buy AH6 - EU but it is difficult to get or put the PPIS back and 2G, or maybe the service includes the drivers from your link that are not available publicly - MMI3GP_UMTS_Driver_Script.zip
