So finally I was able to do the updates and the previously (failed) FVCM did succeed after 4 attempts (total 2 hours) with the replace function. Only IPK (Driver Display) is still open, as it may take much time to update. One positive sidenote: When you purchase a one hour ticket, you can still use SIPS when time is up if you stay logged in.

That's because when you purchase 1 hour, you get 2 hours

... unless of course you've stayed logged in for more than 2 hours?

I booked 24hours and finished on the second day.. would be in total way more than 24 hours.. Had to Work and was Not able to succeed.. so i experienced No assist system on my way to work and Back..

Questo perché quando acquisti 1 ora, ne ottieni 2 ... a meno che, ovviamente, tu non sia rimasto connesso per più di 2 ore?

I bought one hour, and the validity period showed two hours. However, after the two hours had passed, the credentials remained valid and visible on RMI for an additional full hour.

From VDS you can select the BMS module and from there you can get its live data including cell module voltages and soh

The whole module voltage (multiple cells in series) or cell voltages per module?
VDS is not available from engineering screen, right, only via VNCI? And buying access time.

Thanks for that. I bought another 1-2 hour subscription and managed to make the relevant outputs! Over 31'000kms and still 100% SOH.

You get min/max/avg per module plus overall pack voltage

This is what it shows

I got R63 2 weeks ago and have the same issue. Go back to dealer today and they said something were wrong with FICM and use SIPS do to something. Now, it works again.
But Weather and iSmart account on car (User) to receive routes doesn't work since R63 and after today updates.
If I reset activation, I can reconnect to my iSMART account and weather start to work fine, until next stop.

I went to engineering mode and everything is up to date except TBOX, still in SNAKP21E32 but SNAKP23E32 is available.

I had the same problem!

It helped me to delete the activation in the developer menu and then reactivate it in the "User" menu.

The same as obd2?

For me, it works until next boot...
But it was fixed long ago after couple reset

Yes, the VNCI module while querying the BMS gives exactly the same as I would've seen from ABRP or using 'Car Scanner' with an OBD2 tool. The voltage differences between each sub-pack were all pretty consistent too. From memory it was charged to around 67%. I might try again once temperatures warm up and charge it to 100% for top balancing (although with it being NMC that's not really necessary in the same way as LFP battery chemistry).

After almost 20,000 km (12k miles) and <10% to 100% charge, at OBD2 its 97.2%. Also NMC. So i guess 100% after 31km is very good

The first year (15k km approx.) I was more or less charging 95% of the time at home at 3.7kW and only 80% with the occasional boost to 100% once a month or when planning a trip to the mountains. Since then I usually charge to 90% and don't care about it anymore. This winter I've barely bothered to pre-heat the battery before trips either. It's impossible that it's still at 100% though, but I will check again this summer when I hit the 2 year mark.

I have the Vgate vLinker MC+ BLE4.0 unit.

I haven't been able to justify the cost for ABRP to integrate with Android Auto so don't use my vLinker for real time telemetry.

Where do you go in carscanner for module max/min Voltage?
In data recording it only gives max/min for pack
Dashboard?

DixieTGS · Feb 2, 2025

I had a very quick look at the latest carscanner for Android a few weeks back and I didn't see a prebuilt dashboard with that info. However it looked like the sub packs referred to above are now defined and referred to in car scanner sensors as HV Battery Module 1 to 24.

Unless a prebuilt dashboard for these has been added more recently, you will have to add a new page to the dashboard, skip adding the common sensors, then for each field of your dashboard add a sensor.

To add a sensor, double click a field to edit it, then choose a sensor from the very long list. Type HV Battery Module into the search to reduce the size of the list.

The above is from memory, but should be approximately right.

Hello.
I tried to open a company account but since I don't have a company tax number I couldn't.
How have you done it?

I just typed some random number in it

Simplemente escribí un número aleatorio.

There is no way to register an account, I have tried again and they do not send me any activation, nor can I access the created account.
I accept suggestions.

I didn't have this problem, and I registered two accounts because sometimes the credentials given to me weren’t working.

Hello, my friends. Do you think someone would be willing to make if possible a video tutorial on how to update the infotaiment and also downgrade it? Such a step by step tutorial. Thank you for considering such an idea...
