Blue & Me - updated to Version 5.04.11

[VahanPujari]

Just got the Blue & Me software updated to 5.04.11 version. The source
link is -> http://www.fiat.co.uk/blueandme/

• Downloaded the software update Zip file (5_5_01 Blue&Me MAP Update
Package Signed.zip) on PC Harddisk
• Extracted the Zip file in a separate folder e.g. D:\Blue&Me
• There are 6 files extracted – install.inf, 82up, C82E.cab,
C82S_v11.cab, COU.pku, DEU.pku
• Took a blank USB stick formatted in FAT32 format
• Copied all 6 files onto USB stick on the root i.e. without any
folder
• Deleted paired device Blue&Me from my cell phone Nokia CDMA 6265

• Went to car. Inserted key & turned it to MAR position but did not
start the engine.
• Pressed steering button on right with phone symbol, went to settings
-> Users data & deleted ALL users data. Deleted ALL Users from the
same path
• Moved key back to the default STOP position.
• Inserted USB stick (containing those 6 files) to USB drive inside
the glovebox
• Started the radio to clear the MID
• Turned the key to MAR position.
• Blue & Me lady (Lina !!) said “Update started” with message showing
on MID
• After a few minutes wait, MID shon “re starting” & radio started
playing again.
• Waited for almost 5 minutes. Nothing happened. Was almost tempted to
turn off the key & pull out the USB stick but since there was no voice
message (& also on MID) saying Update Completed, I decided to wait a
few minutes.
• Voila !! MID shown “re starting” again, shown “installing”. It went
on repeatedly for some time.
• Finally, Lina said Update Completed. The same message is also
displayed on MID.
• Turn the key back to STOP position & took out the USB stick.
• Paired my mobile again.
Have not checked for any changes yet. There was an item “DEVICE
UPDATE” in the Settings or Menu which should be now removed. Shall
check & update later.

There is a log.txt file generated on USB stick with following
contents. If you want to use the same USB stick again to update on any
other car, you’ll have to remove this log.txt file:
Device ID: 0x0014 0913 4871

Amit,

I will be waiting from you end to see if any significant changes have
been made to Blu n Me Update. Am tempted to try this out so will do it
soon, thanks for the step by step analysis and taking the risk :D

Rajat,

Till now, I've not observed any major difference between old & new
software. It was expected as the new version is mainly for iPoD &
iPhone connectivity, I guess.

THe visible diff till now is the cell gets connected to B&M instantly
(after 1-2 seconds) only instead of some 15 to 60 seconds earlier

It seems Media Player is building library list every time its started
now after updating to new version. It takes a bit longer to start it
playing as compared to earlier when Media player used to build library
list only while inserting USB stick
