Firmware for the Lada Granta Lux radio: how to flash the standard one, step-by-step instructions

Firmware for radio Kalina 2/Granta

You will need an SD card up to 4GB formatted in FAT.
In the future, it will be possible to use a card in exFAT format. Attention!

Procedure: 1. Copy the firmware to an SD card (up to 4GB in FAT). 2. Copy files from the “FirmWare” folder to the root of the memory card. 3. Remove the flash drive from the USB port. 4. Insert the SD card into the radio. 5. Reboot the GU by long (about 15 seconds) pressing the power button (for Lada Kalina 2) or the volume button (for Lada Granta). 6. A flashing will occur (4 status bars will run through) and the radio will reboot itself into the desktop.

7. Without rebooting the radio, press the “Recalibrate” button and calibrate the screen. At the end, during the countdown, click on the screen.8. Reboot the radio with the memory card inserted. The new menu will load.

If, after flashing the radio, the download freezes at the “Lada” logo, then most likely there is a problem with the SD card. Try formatting the memory card to other file systems (FAT32/exFAT/FAT) and flashing it again. You can also try using other SD cards, 4GB or 2GB in size.

How to return to the standard menu of the Kalina 2/Grant radio:

1. Click on the “Media” icon in the alternative menu.
2. Reboot the radio, first remove the SD card.

Nothing changes in the standard shell, everything remains the same.

Firmware order:

1. Copy the firmware files (Chain.bin, chain.lst, NK.bin, TINYNK.bin) to the root of the SD card.
2. Remove the flash drive from the USB port.
3. Insert the SD card into the MMC.
4. Restart the radio (for Lada Kalina 2/Priora - hold down the power button for 15 seconds, for Lada Granta hold down the volume button for 15 seconds).
5. During the download, an update will occur, after which the radio will boot into desktop mode.
6. Without rebooting the radio, go to the screen calibration mode (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Stilus/ to the Calibration/Recalibrate tab), then press the screen during the countdown.
7. Reboot the MMS with the SD card inserted.
8. The firmware of the radio is complete, the SD card can be removed.

What features does the MMC Grant firmware provide?

Firmware that you can do yourself will help to significantly expand the standard options of the multimedia system. Pre-installed options will only allow you to enjoy the standard set of options. The owner will not be able to configure the navigator or rear view camera. Lada Granta radios are great for flashing.

In order to flash MMS, you will need:

1. GPS receiver, preferably Globalsat BU-353S4 model.
2. 3G modem Huawei E1750.

According to the manufacturers' promises, these devices provide the ability to use navigation and connect to the Internet. Domestic automakers are not of the opinion that the owner of a Lada Granta may need a navigator and the Internet. In order for the devices to work, you will also need a DNS ATH-08 USB splitter (hub).

How to install 2 din in grant norm or standard

Everything is more complicated here. Need to:

• dismantle the center console trim - unclip the fastenings, move it forward and disconnect the buttons and heater handles;
• cut out a vertical plastic partition that will not allow you to install a 2 din device;
• file the plastic casing of the central air duct;
• try on a new acoustic unit, adjust the fastenings if necessary;
• install adapters from the delivery kit on the wiring (if required);
• install the device;
• if we leave the old center console trim: we cut out the partition, try it on, put it in place with the buttons and handles connected, adjust the decorative frame of the control unit, install it;
• if we install a new trim on the console under a 2 din device: we transfer the heater control unit and buttons from the old trim, install them in place, and put a decorative frame on the control unit.

That's actually the whole process of preparing for the firmware!

After the firmware on the MMS Lada Granta is completed, a new desktop will appear, and in particular the Wince desktop. It is those four files that were copied separately to the root directory of the SD card that are responsible for displaying the interface of this desktop.

The next step is to configure the new software on the standard multimedia Lada Granta. To do this, you need to click the Start button, and then proceed based on this path: StartSettingControl Panel.

In some cases, at this stage, delays were noticed in opening the control panel, which disappeared after a forced reboot of the mms.

In the panel that opens, click on the Stylus/Calibration icon. Thus, the user of the new software is given the opportunity to calibrate the response accuracy of the touch display.

This procedure is best carried out using a stylus. At the end of calibration, a timer will appear on the monitor; without waiting for the countdown to complete, you must click on the screen.

Now the time has come for the forced reboot mentioned above. Long pressing the volume key (at least 10 seconds) will force the mms to reboot. At the time of reboot, the removable media with the new software must remain in MMS Lada Granta.

After the reboot, the standard menu will be displayed, followed by the altmenu, as it was in the process of preparing for the firmware procedure. You can get to the standard menu by pressing the “standard” key.

The reboot must take place with the Globalsat BU-353S4 GPS receiver connected via the DNS ATH-08 USB splitter. If it is not connected, after the software reboot is complete, the standard menu will load.

User settings, and in particular radio, sound and video settings, are an integral part of any multimedia system. NewMenu V7.391Nitro requires manual installation of the module for setting these parameters, and for this you need:

Description of types of firmware.

Versions 1.7 and 1.13 are stock. The navigation built into the car only works on 1.13, 1.23 and 1.24.

1.9, 1.10, 1.11 are based on 1.7; 1.23 is based on 1.13. In 1.7 there are only 11 IDs that can be forwarded to the COM port, no dividers, etc. no, and adding them is very difficult. In 1.13 there is an ID group (3 pieces 481, 551, 280) with dividers, an ID group without dividers (4Ax) and an ID group (8 pieces) without dividers disabled in the firmware. Also, information from some IDs is taken and processed inside the CAN controller. However, I don’t know how to get it. In 1.24 (modified 1.23) it was possible to receive IDs with a mask, that is, select the range of received IDs. I did this with the 7E8..7EF range to receive diagnostic requests from all controllers in our cars. ID 4A2 only for combinations with built-in GPS and only with a connected 6-button steering column switch.

Each version has its own pros and cons: Versions based on 1.7: + Reflashes well even with the engine running. — Data transmission is choked (if you often send data to the CAN controller, it stops being sent to the bus). — Not enough ID. Versions based on 1.13: + Data transfer does not choke. + Lots of IDs. + There are dividers (it really helps reduce the load, because ID: 180 messages are sent 100 times per second) - Flashing is very sensitive to bus activity, etc. (there have been cases of corruption).

Direct firmware mms 2190 grant

The firmware process is quite simple! All you need is an SD card

Note! The SD card must be formatted in FAT16. A common problem after flashing the firmware is the Lada logo freezing on the monitor of the standard multimedia system

This problem may occur as a result of:

• Failure to comply with the parameters of the required formatting system; • Old SD card model, different from SDHC.

If a problem of this kind arises, then it is necessary to check compliance with the above two points of the procedure for flashing multimedia firmware on the Lada Granta.

After the flash drive is formatted and the new software has been decided, for example, NewMenu V7.391Nitro, you need to download the new firmware NewMenu V7.391Nitro and unpack it directly onto the SD card itself.

As for the FirmWare folder, the files located in it must be moved to the root of the SD card. The root of the SD card implies placement of files in addition to other moved folders.

The copying process is complete, which means it’s time to remove the flash drive from the computer. It is worth noting the need for mandatory safe removal, which has long been known to all PC users.

  Firmware for Lada Granta, Kalina and Priora (luxury) radio

An SD card with files placed on it must be inserted into the mms. After the removable media is inserted into the mms, it must be turned on. After waiting for the device to fully boot, long pressing the volume key will reboot it.

The reboot takes place in four stages, which is shown in the example of four boot lines, upon completion of which, MMS will start in normal mode (standard display menu). Just a few seconds after the standard menu, the radio will go to the altmenu.

Note! If any device is connected to the USB radio, the altmenu will not start. After removing the device, the radio must be rebooted again

The advantage of using the ATH-08 DNS USB splitter, which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, is multi-polarity. A GPS receiver and other USB devices connected to the hub will not interfere with the launch of the altmenu, but will become inactive.

How to flash MMC 2190 Granta firmware

To flash the MMS, you need an SD card.
To flash the MMS, you need an SD card. The firmware procedure is incredibly simple. You will also need an SD card. In order for the card to be used, it will first need to be formatted in the FAT16 system. Sometimes during the firmware a problem arises, which is that the Lada logo freezes. Why is this happening:

• formatting options do not meet system requirements;
• sometimes it could be an outdated SD card.

This is why special attention needs to be paid to formatting. If difficulties arise with the firmware, then you need to check everything. You can select NewMenu V7.391Nitro as the new software. To do this, you need to find and download it on the Internet, and then unpack the archive onto a card.

What modes are optimized when chip tuning a Granta power plant?

The plant periodically makes some warranty adjustments at service stations, but not everyone uses this service, and those who undergo warranty maintenance do not always receive it. As a result, owners continue to operate obviously faulty cars, not suspecting that it is enough to correct the electronic algorithm. The point of changing the ECM software is to optimize the operation of the engine and transmission.

Lada Granta modes that require improvement:

• ignition timing;
• injection time value;
• exhaust emission control systems;
• algorithm for determining the octane number of fuel;
• automatic transmission operation.

How to update the radio firmware to ver.38 (23.0.2.38)

Archive password: club-lada.rf

Features of the assembly with the altmenu:

1. The build is based on version 23.02.38.
2. Has built-in Russian localization.
3. Launching the altmenu without rebooting from the standard menu (by long pressing “Settings”).
4. Built-in driver for GPS receiver BU-353s4.
5. Initialize sound and time without the participation of the MMC.exe process.
6. Display of engine temperature and remaining fuel (provided the CAN bus is entered into the MMC).
7. Screen and sound settings.
8. There is a radio.
9. Support for radio buttons.

Firmware: Unpack the contents of the archive to the root of the SD card:

Next we proceed as described above. This assembly can work without an SD card, or you can delete the Install and Firmware_v38 folders. The Navigation folder must be present on SD or USB, it was created for navigation programs, for example, for Navitel you need to put Navitel in this folder. Now all that remains is to install the navigation program, configure the GPS and GSM modem. In the comments, share your reviews of the firmware and links to them. By the way, do you know how to play most video formats on the standard radio?

Method No. 1

You will need : a USB-GPS receiver (for example, BU-353S4 or 0183 NMEA, see the AliExpress catalog), a driver for this device and a navigation program (for example, Navitel). It is not necessary to flash MMS.

The GPS receiver is connected to the USB connector of the MMC. You can place the GPS antenna in the glove compartment, or under the panel on an iron stand, using the receiver magnet.

How to eliminate some shortcomings of the multimedia system

Sometimes, in order to start using new media, you need to purchase it. She will certainly be able to cope with tasks that are standard. But you can’t expect more from it without additional modifications. Without this, you will not be able to configure the navigator or connect a rear view camera.

It must be said that many multimedia that modern foreign cars are equipped with are significantly inferior in their capabilities to the MMC Grant. This system is unique and quite competitive. If there are minor problems in the operation of the MMC, then updating the MMC firmware will eliminate them. Let's look at how to make firmware for 2014.

Dynamic and optimized versions of firmware for chip tuning, new software was made, errors were fixed. All the latest in terms of factory software were added. Previous errors have been corrected..

Main functions and appearance features

The infotainment display is very bright and the touchscreen is sensitive to touch.

Multimedia supports three formats. It provides the opportunity to listen to audio, see the cover and artist name. You can adjust the sound quality using the equalizer. MMC Lada Granta has about six programs that perfectly optimize sound quality. Of course, such settings do not allow you to achieve ideal quality, but the music will sound clear and without interference.

MMC 2109 has the ability to view video files

Not all video formats can be viewed using multimedia. For this MMS, only WMV format is available. Therefore, you can only record video files using a converter. Higher file resolution will cause the system to freeze. The processor used in the multimedia system is quite weak. Viewing photos is a little difficult. The better the quality of the photo, the longer it takes to open.

The standard version of the MMC Lada Granta Lux allows you to use the Bluetooth installed in your mobile phone and listen to the recordings that are on it. The multimedia system can “read” flash drives, but their maximum capacity should be no more than 64 GB, as well as SD cards up to 32 GB.

Review of the standard radio (MMC) of Lada Granta, Kalina 2 and Priora (luxury)

Currently, depending on the vehicle configuration, several types of 2 din radio can be installed.

The first is called “2 DIN audio system, without CD drive, without TouchScreen”, the other “multimedia system without CD drive, with a 7-inch display with TouchScreen” (MMC).

In the review we will talk about the MMC with a touch screen (LCD display), which is installed on the Granta (sedan and liftback), as well as on the Lada Kalina 2 and Lada Priora.

Catalog numbers MMS Lada:

Monoblock 2190-7900010-00 - MMC Lada Granta (luxury) and Lada Kalina 2 (standard) The screen is separated from the buttons 2192-7900200 - MMC Lada Kalina 2 (luxury) and Lada Priora (luxury)

MMC runs on the Windows CE 6 operating system. This is specially optimized for devices with a minimum amount of memory, by the way, in our case the memory is only 128MB. Despite this, turning on the radio does not take much time (about 2-3 seconds).

MMS screen

The display on the Granta and Kalina radio is resistive. Unlike a capacitive screen, it is able to work without failures in more severe conditions, for example, frost or heat. The display itself is quite bright and pressure sensitive. Due to the lack of a visor, there is glare in sunny weather, but not critical.

How to remove the BC or MMS screen (monitor) on the Lada Priora

April 22, 2022 Lada.Online 22 109

On the new Priora, the on-board computer (BC) or the multimedia system screen (MMS) is placed on the panel (dashboard) in a specially designated place. During vehicle operation, it may be necessary to remove these devices (for example, to replace or install sound insulation). More on how to do this below.

The upper visor is attached to the panel using clamps (clips). To remove the visor you will need:

1. pull its right side up (if necessary, pry it up with a flat screwdriver or plastic spatula);
2. pull towards you, unlatching the rear latches;
3. Unscrew the two screws securing the MMC or BC monitor (depending on the configuration). Lift the device up.

How to set up "GPS" on the firmware version of the multimedia?

Carrying out this action will not take much effort. The procedure involves preliminary switching with the GPS module and consists of the following algorithm of actions:

• go to the corresponding “Tools” menu;
• activating the display keyboard;
• direct module switching;
• route instructions: “staticstoredll232usb.dll”;
• continuously pressing the “OK” key after the prompt regarding driver selection is displayed on the screen.

If the indicated steps are completed correctly, then we proceed to the manipulations of setting up the navigation software. In the program, we select the “COM 5” port and the corresponding speed – 4800 bps.

Upon completion of the entire list of manipulations, we observe the operation of the system. Please pay attention to the presence of the configured Navitel program.

Nuances of multimedia firmware Grants (2190)

It is quite easy to carry out the firmware itself when installing the mms 2190 firmware. To do this, it will be necessary to use an SD card.

Among the common flaws that occur after the dashboard firmware is installed, even if it is the latest version, is the Lada logo freezing on the display of the head unit.

This moment can be provoked by the following factors:

• failure to comply with required formatting principles;
• the presence of an outdated version of the SD card that differs from “SDHC”.

After successfully formatting the card and selecting software (for example, “New Menu V7.391 Nitro”), you will need to acquire the latest firmware and unpack the product onto a previously prepared SD media.

Regarding the “Firm Ware” folder, note: the files located in it will need to be redirected to the root directory of the card itself. Upon completion of the copying process, disconnect the flash card from the PC, not forgetting about the safe removal technique.

Now we confidently insert the SD card with the prepared files present on it directly into the MMC. Then turn on the head unit. We wait for the full download to complete and by long pressing the volume button, we reboot.

The act of rebooting is characterized by four stages, the display of which is implemented in 4 lines of process status. After filling out these lines, the device starts in the usual mode, as evidenced by the appearance of the corresponding original menu. After a few seconds, the device transitions to the altmenu.

The USB splitter “DNS ATH-08” has acquired a significant advantage – multi-polarity. The GPS receiver and other USB modules connected to the “head” are combined with the altmenu, but become inactive.

After the MMS 2190 firmware is completed on a Lada Granta car, its display displays a new type of desktop, namely “Wince”. The 4 files previously mentioned and copied into the depths of the root directory of the map are “responsible” for the presence of the interface on the desktop.

The subsequent manipulation is associated with the need to configure new software in the standard multimedia device of the Lada Granta car. For these purposes, click the “Start” button, after which we follow the following route: “StartSettingControl Panel”. Sometimes owners complain about the slowness of the “Control Panel” opening process, but this phenomenon disappears after rebooting the MMC in forced mode.

When the control panel is open, in its interface click on the “Stylus/Calibration” symbol. With this action, the user of the new software gets the opportunity to calibrate the touch screen for response accuracy.

Upon completion of the simple calibration procedure, a timer appears; you should not wait for the completion of the counting process. Feel free to click on the screen.

Now the long-awaited time has come for the forced reboot process. Long and holding pressure on the volume key (10 seconds or more) allows you to implement this process in MMC. At this moment, the removable media, which contains the new software, continues to reside in the connector of the head unit of the Lada Granta car.

Having completed the reboot action, the device will first display the standard menu, and then, similar to the preparation procedure, the altmenu. If you need to return to the “native” menu, you should hold down the “Native” key.

The process of rebooting the device, after the dashboard firmware has been flashed, requires its connection via a USB splitter of the specified model with the Globalsat BU-353S4 GPS wave receiver. If there is none, then upon completion of the process itself the “head” will display the normal menu mode on the display.

Such common settings as sound, as well as audio or video, are present in any multimedia device in the domestic Lada Granta car.

“NewMenu V7.391Nitro” needs a manual way to install the indicated options, which will require:

• log in to the “soft/radio” folder;
• resort to activating the “start.exe” file.

The procedure will agree to associate present files with the extensions “exe” and “ahk”. This manipulation is quite important and allows you to achieve stable functionality of the MMC, which is used to flash the dashboard firmware.

Work order

The process itself is very simple. To use such a card, you must first format it in FAT16. During the flashing procedure, the Lada logo may freeze, this happens for the following reasons:

1. Outdated map;
2. The card was formatted in the wrong system as required.

Therefore, the procedure is simple, but it must be treated very carefully. You can download the new firmware on the official Lada website.

We connect the card to the multimedia system. Then we turn on the standard system itself. We wait for the system to start and then reboot the radio by pressing the volume key.

The program must go through four stages. Once enabled, you will see an alternative menu. This ends the preparatory stage. If everything is correct, you will see working Windows. Then all that remains is to install the software. Go to the folders Start – Setting – Control Panel.

If you experience freezing when moving from folder to folder, then simply reboot the system. Going to the panel, open the Stylus – Calibration icon. This menu will help you calibrate your screen.

Next, reboot the system again, press the volume key and hold for about ten seconds.

After turning it on again, open the Soft – radio folder and run the installation file.

These actions will help the system recognize files and stabilize the operation of your media system, as well as adjust the equalizer when you listen to the radio.

Then we set up a navigator if you need one. Go to the tools, connect the module, specify the path Staticstoredll2usb.dll. After finishing the search, press OK, and continue to press until the menu disappears from the display.

Disadvantages and problems of the audio system in the Lada Granta

1. As you can see in the list of characteristics, the radio does not support reading compact discs; there is not even a connector for this case. This cannot be said to be a huge oversight, but this decision may still cause some inconvenience.

2. The Bluetooth function works quite slowly, and when transferring a large amount of information it may freeze completely.

3. Connoisseurs of pure sound in cars note the discrepancy between the output sound power of the radio and the 13-inch speakers provided for this. For the best sound effect, it is often necessary to replace speakers that simply do not perform well.

4. Poor video quality during playback, especially difficulties with the AVI 720 format.

5. Despite the built-in video input, connecting a rear view camera is impossible. However, this problem was successfully resolved in the firmware for the radio.

How to flash a car radio

Frequent requests from a Russian driver who wants to reflash his Japanese or Korean car radio are also related to a TV monitor. It cannot be used for its intended purpose, since it does not support the standard of our Secam television.

Due to some features of television broadcasting, it may also be impossible to watch high-quality television programs while driving. To ensure traffic safety, some cars use a lock that turns off the image on the monitor while driving.

Video instructions for flashing firmware for Lada head unit

If, after flashing the firmware, the radio does not boot, but freezes on the “LADA” logo:

• Make sure nothing is inserted into the USB port.
• Create an empty Explorer.txt file in the USB root. After rebooting, the WinCE desktop should load.
• Try turning off the power to the MMC (remove the battery terminal) for 5 minutes.
• Try formatting the SD card to a different file system (FAT32/exFAT/FAT) and reflash the radio again.
• Use another SD card to flash the radio firmware.

Let us remind you that we solve other problems of MMS related to its operation in this article.

The MMS Grant firmware makes it possible not only to expand the functionality of the system itself, but also the ability to connect a rear view camera to the standard multimedia.

Conclusion

The latest version of the firmware we reviewed turned out to be quite convenient. It is impossible not to note from a positive perspective its developers - participants in the Grant Club. Having a convenient interface in MMS, you can comfortably spend time behind the wheel of LADA Granta.

The multimedia system (MMS) of Lada Granta, Kalina 2 and Priora has a 7″ display with TouchScreen, FM, USB, Bluetooth SD card slot and Handsfree. The standard firmware of the radio has a number of disadvantages, for example, there is no way to configure a 3G modem, GPS, and the interface is not functional enough. MMC firmware will help get rid of these shortcomings.

You will need: SD card up to 4 GB formatted in the FAT file system (in the future you can use the exFAT file system), select the firmware for the radio (list of firmwares).

Attention! Perform all operations on MMS firmware only at your own peril and risk! Which leads to the loss of the manufacturer's warranty on the MMC. Before flashing the firmware, it is recommended to make a dump (backup)
