Introduction

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to update the firmware of your Mitsubishi Hands Free Module (HFM). By keeping your HFM's firmware up to date, you ensure optimal performance, compatibility with new devices, and access to the latest features.

Note that once the update is completed, the system will be reset and the following information will be deleted:

  • Phone book data
  • Pairing data
  • Voice Recognition data

  1. EeXYtfrwGpJMJVeF

    • Enter the Service Menu by pressing and holding the SETTINGS and MAP-Buttons for 4 seconds.

  2. HlYvpwWsGreUHvQE

    • Enter the Service Menu by pressing and holding the INFO/SET and SEEK-Buttons for 4 seconds.

    • Press on Hands Free Module.

    • While the Hands Free Module is in diagnosis mode, the sound input to the microphone unit is output directly through the speaker.

    • Check the Parts Number.

    • We'll need this later when downloading the Firmware file.

    • Check the Version Number.

    • If the Version Number is 19.00.000 or 50.00.000 you already have the last available Firmware installed and don't need to do anything.

    • The flash drive needs to be formatted to FAT32 and should not be larger than 16GB. Additionally the MMCS can be a bit picky and might not accept all flash drives. If it can't read your flash drive, just try a different one.

    • Copy the update.package file to the root directory of the USB flash drive.

  6. FCuFiL3efGXyEK2q

    • Insert the USB flash drive into one of the USB ports in your car.

    • You can usually find a USB port inside the center console or below the head unit.

  7. I6MnL2B5vdGhvwvg

    • Re-enter the Hands Free Module-Section of the Service Menu.

    • Press on the S/W Update-button.

    • If there is no S/W Update-button it means that the head unit didn't detect a valid file on the flash drive. This either means that you already have a version newer than the firmware file installed (as is the case for me), an incompatible firmware file, or that the system can't read the flash drive.

  8. Ux5dOcOdN2WLi6ia

    • Enter your Security PIN.

    • If you don't have one set you can just enter 1234.

    • If you have forgotten you Security PIN, you can forcibly remove it by pressing the Unlock-Button in the Hands Free Module-Section of the Service Menu.

    • Wait for the update to finish. This may take some time, don't worry if the progress bar stays at 0% for some time.

    • Do not remove the flash drive or turn off the car while the update is running!

    • If the update fails and the warning message states that you should make sure that the USB port is properly powered, you can just reboot the head unit and try again.

  10. 1Pdcr4CEE5gRfqDb

    • Press OK to finish the update.

Conclusion

Drive safe!

Alex Kahle -

Version 50 ist die neuste und letzte, du musst also kein Update machen.

I had tried update firmware in my outlander 2016. Now my car doesn't even detect hands free module at all. I had removed battery power supply and tried again but hands free module doesn't show in service mode. Please support.. How can i make it work? It seems there ia firmware mismatch. How can i repair it? Is there software available to connect with this HFM? Please help.

ABD -

Have you turned off the car while the update was running? Normally the unit should just produce an error code when it fails to update.

Disconnecting the cars' battery for 15 minutes should reset the device and enable you to try again. If that doesn't work I'd advise you to consult your local mitsubishi dealer or independent repair shop.

Sebastian -

Echt super erklärt.

Habe die Seite zufällig gefunden, da mein Handy sich nicht mehr mit meinem Hands Free System verbindet.

Ich habe in meinem KFZ MMCS W-19 eingebaut. Leider komme ich mit der Tastenkombination SETTINGS + MAPS nicht in das Servicemenü.

Ist was bekannt, dass es hier eine andere Tastenkombination gibt?

Danke für da Kompliment! Bei deinem Problem kann ich dir leider auch nicht weiterhelfen, ich kenne leider nur die zwei Methoden die in der Anleitung bereits gezeigt werden. Frag doch Mal im Antwortenforum, da kann dir evtl. jemand weiterhelfen.
