HOLY SH*T I wish I found this video sooner. You’ve just saved me a crap load of time since I’m upgrading my speakers and need access to the back of the MCU and amp. Well done sir.

A little tip from a German mechanic. Please never put your knees on the seats. It will destroy your seat heating one day. Thanks for the nice Video.

this is the best DIY video i have ever seen! thank you!

Nice job David and Tony! Although the EMMC repair has slowed down now, this is still applicable for Screen replacements! Don't forget we have new screens in stock!

Great step-by-step tutorial, thank you David!

Thank you so much! I was really curious how to do it.

Quite helpful and instructive - thanks for this video ! Viele Grüße aus der ziemlich angestaubten alten Heimat - wir waren auch mal 7 Jahre in Socal und vermissen es sehr :-) Stay healthy !

Saved me a lot of time. Thank you !

I can't believe how easy that was. I would feel so confident on doing this /S

Wow! Amazing Video! Will be a big help for me, pulling out my Tegra board. Thank you! :-)

Hi David, thanks for this super clear tutorial. I was wondering if you knew what was the second connector behind the first cap you removed (the first one is from the antennas for the keyfob)? Thanks, Nico.

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks for putting it together!

David - thank you for doing this. The detail here gave me what I need to do this. It's not that bad, just one step at a time. Tony has my chip now. Plus I'm still under warranty - Tesla would replace with a rebuilt (a.k.a. unknown lifetime) if they were to replace. I'm not interested in the MCU upgrade so this is well worth the peace of mind to me.

Thanks for a great video. I was told my hazard switch is bad. Do you know if I'd have to pull the MCU out/forward to get to that switch or would there be any way to get to it from the side?

Thank you for this great explanation, after this upgrade will upgrade the screen with youtube and Netflix?

thank you David! this is a great job to share with us the step-by-step job to replace mcu. Please tell me if perfect same is on model x 2017 Regards Razvan George

Tesla service just replaced my Tegra board. The charge was $310, parts & labor plus tax. Two of the service people said it has a new 64GB eMMC chip but another guy said it was the same old chip. They said it would have a 1 yr warranty and that was on their web page; I didn't confirm that.

When upgrading to an MCU 2. Are there any additional cables that need to be ran? or it is all the same plug in's?

Question you might know. I got the new MCU 2. I want to be able to use the game controller feature but don't have the upfront USB. Can I connect or add the USB so I can use the game controller?

Hello, after changing MCU is it necessary to programming? Or it’s needs change?

I need to change only the SD card. Have you made any video on it?

Thanks for the great video, i need to replace my navigation SD card. Do I need to remove the mcu or just expose the passenger side of it? Thanks again, this could save me $400!

Hello! My GPS is stuck on a location. What else could I do besides restarting the steering wheel? Thank you very much!

If anyone is interested in adding an amplifier to their tesla to upgrade the sound system, you can tap into those wires on the gray/white harness connector that plugs into the mcu for the front and rear speakers. The black harness connector has the wires for the center speaker. (2016 Tesla. Might be different for newer/older models) The speaker wire colors vary depending on the year of the car.

amazing video, would you also provide a modified image on the new chip with root access?

I'm not motivated to remove it while it's still working, but I do want it upgraded but can't due to covid restrictions.

Hi can you do a detailed video like this to remove an MCU from a Tesla Model 3 please Thank You.

Fantastic tutorial and very well put together. Really shows each step clearly. Thanks! My dilemma is I had the MCU upgrade done and I found that the vent to the left of the center screen is stuck closed. No air at all coming out, and unable to move the lever. I have an appointment with Tesla, which is a distance from my home, and wondering if I should tackle this myself. Do you think there's a way to get at that vent without completely disassembling the dash?

I paid Tesla service $175 to see if my EMMc chip was actually bad and they gave the car back with with corrupted files repaired and the MCU working like new but that only lasted about two months. A month ago the music stopped playing and I did the two button salute and it went black and stayed black. I scheduled service but that was a month out. They were supposed to call when they had the part, a replacement Tegra board. They don't want to talk on the phone but with great difficulty I got a service guy to call. A person from my local service assured me I could bring it in sooner and that he would call when the part came in. He never called! I texted them on the appointment date and said I was not bringing the car unless they had the part. The guy on the phone said they would fix it while I waited but when I got there they said they would let me know when it would be done and the guy didn't seem to know if they did or did not have the part. Now they say it will be there for a week and it is cued for service, whatever that means. The good news is now they want $310 labor & parts instead of $1146. The guy on the phone said it would get a new 64 GB chip, but they guy there said I would get exactly what I had so looks like $300 every 4 yrs. I don't know what I am getting except the service guy said I would have a 1 yr warranty on the repair; I doubt in writing.

Hi from DK. And Thank you for videoes👍 I have a 2014/12 P85+ my mcu1 Its ok. Iam afraid it will go out someday soon.. Do you recommend me to change it before it happens or when its crack etc? Kind Regards Sarfraz

Awesome video. One question: You say "put the MCU back even if you're not going to drive the car". Do you mean, put the 2 ribbon cables and the other cable back, close it back up *without* the Tegra board, and hook it back up in the car? This ensures that the 12v battery stays topped up?

If replacing screen and instrument cluster, do you have to disconnect battery under the hood or can you replace the screen and instrument cluster without touching 12v battery or fuses?

Hi, I'm trying to replace MCU1 to MCU2 myself, is it enough to just replace MCU, or there is a need to do programming to make MCU2 work the car's hardware/software?

The link you provide to evfixme.com does not work. Do you have an updated link. The yelp link works but is not the official website for Tony. Thanks.

crazy good terrifying video! is it possible to diy replace with MCU2 ? if so where to buy MCU2?

I'm assuming that doing this is only advisable when out of warranty and Tesla has refused to fix it. I believe you should make this much clearer in your video. I thought the video was very well done and although I wouldn't want to undertake it, knowing how is always appreciated.

I can use this to replace my emercency lights button that has stopped working. thanks.

is it possible to replace a Mcu1 with an MCU2 by yourself?

Is there a way to upgrade the RAM or CPU instead of having to "upgrade" the whole MCU to the 2nd gen?

All US Tesla X & S owners should file a complaint with the NHTSA about the eMMC failure.

Tesla owners should put up a class action for a guaranteed failing item, which seriously compromises safety, not just an inconvenience like Tesla claims it is. There are times that I’ve been stuck on a steep parking ramp because I couldn’t lift the car because the screen failed.

What year is your tesla?

One warning with using the car with a broken/missing MCU. When mine failed in December 2019 the speed displayed on the other dashboard screen reverted to mph EVEN THOUGH it said kph. Others with failing MCU’s have seen the same effect. Be aware that your speed might be completely wrong and driving in a 60kph local zone at 60mph (100kph) will probably lose you your licence.

Can we just disconnect the 12v battery?

Who is off camera making the comments about screw size, etc.

On one side I can’t wait to purchase a Tesla, on the other hand I’m outraged that something this stupid isn’t covered for free the first 10 years, or even recalled and fixed. A friend had to replace his. Cost him $4000 and happened 5 days after warranty ran out..
