Buy from ebay it’s much cheaper and it’s a same maps. About 40 euro. If you have specific samsung evo card you can try cloning but you have to be very lucky to trick the CID number. I will buy it from ebay its easyer!

[MENTION=2742284]Muxeu[/MENTION] Thanks for finding this, I know what to look for now. Unfortunately, this one is out of stock, even on ebay, except for one seller who does not ship to Serbia.

Btw I found that this is the exact card that my Suzuki dealership sells for 330EUR, which is not very nice of them :)

Vitara current update

Hello I brought my Vitara S 2016 last week, the soft ware version I have is 0830-150803, I can not see that anywhere on the web. Andriod Auto does not work and I am unsure if this is a very old version or infact a new version as I brought it from a suzuki dealer.

Hello, i am from Greece and i have a new suzuki swift 2018 model 1.2 cvt.

My car has the middle trim level (called GL+ in Greece) with the boss infotainment system but with no menu of navigation.

In the place of the menu of navigation (bottom left) i have a "media" menu.

If i buy a card from ebay listed like this:

2017-2018 GENUINE SUZUKI SLDA SD CARD MAP Update KIT VITARA,CROSS,SWIFT,SX-4

wiil i get the navi menu and maps as soon as i put in the card or i have to do something else?

Thanks
[Connected Car] m00n61:
You only need to insert the card.

However, you will soon find out that using Google Maps or Waze via Android Auto is way better.

I find the navigation software provided by Suzuki outdated and unreliable.
[Connected Car] neokosmi:
Thanks for the quick response. I dont know if i can do it with Android auto because my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 2016) does not support it :(

Android Auto can be automatically launched when connecting the phone.

Wireless connection to AA is not yet supported.

Before spending on one of these Chinese units, take a look at the dedicated Android Auto forums here:

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto

As someone who has owned several such units I can tell you:

the Bosch unit has a far superior screen, much brighter than any Chinese unit

the current Bluetooth connection for phone calls is far superior to what you can get from any Chinese unit

current Chinese units have 1 or 2 GB RAM. That is not enough to run Android Auto on the HU

some Chinese HUs do have better FM radios
[Connected Car] ZorkyZ:
From my point of view i find connection by usb cable more useful than bordering with it.

On this way I know that my phone will be at same time charged and I will have phone battery ready.

I do agree that it would be much easier to enter a car and have everything ready but for longer rides at the end everyone would finish connecting with a cable.

And I heard that there are units capable of wireless AA but I am not sure that Bosh is capable of this, Maybe with new firmware version ....
[Connected Car] m00n61:
The Bosch unit will never do WiFi as it lacks the hardware.

How I upgraded my SLDA.

Hello all, I would like to share my 2 cents on how I upgraded my SLDA.

I brought my vitara in 2016 and my SLDA had a firmware version 0811.

First, read through all of this thread. ( do this, you find alot of useful info from other users.)

Here's how I did it.

1.	Download the zip file from here http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/XIx6S4C9

2.	Unzipped it and place the CONTENTS onto a formatted ( FAT32) usb stick.

3.	In your vehicle start the motor, let the SLDA fully start.

4.	Place the usb stick in the usb socket, wait for the SLDA to recognize it, from here the screen should go white with some lines and the flashing process will start. see pic2.

5.	Now wait about 30 minutes, DO not touch, turn off or any other thing to SLDA.

Sometimes it seems that it's got stuck and doing nothing, this is normal, it will also reboot.

6.	At the end it will ask to remove the usb stick and will shutdown.

7.	Done!!!

After reboot all should be working and you now also have Google Auto.

You can now choose between Google Auto and mirrorlink.

P.S.: if something go's wrong during the upgrade process, the SLDA has put a log folder in the root our USB named " SpecialLogDirX"

Thanks all for the info given in this forum.

Problem with Dab radio

Hi i have one suzuki ignis 2018 with slda unit.i have a problem with the digital radio.it keeps change the radio from F.M to DAB .i go to the dealership and told me that if i want to fix that ,he has to open the unit and uninstall the hardware part of DAB from slda..has anyone have any software solution..?any update-upgrade with option to turn DAB off?
[Connected Car] Suzyuki:
I'd like to try this but have a question first. My car is a Vitara S and the factory firmware is 0850_160812.

In case the upgrade goes FUBAR I'd like to be able to restore the factory firmware. Is it possible to create a backup before starting?

Thanks,

Mike
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
just do it

if goes wrong you can flash an older soft, but there is NO risk
[Connected Car] Suzyuki:
Thanks Jacob. Where would I get an older version of the software?

[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
here in this topic, but you dont need it, just do it!
[Connected Car] Suzyuki:
Great, thanks :o

UPDATE: 850 is now 1850.2 :D

I was nervous about doing this on a new car in case it went wrong, but this forum gave me the confidence to go ahead and it loaded seamlessly. AA works on my rooted Nexus 5 and I now get the speed limit signs on the nav.

Thanks everyone!!
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
I removed the bosch and mounted an chinese 9 inch android car entertainment.

I can install now every nav i want with recent maps . I installed Sygic, from which i had already an lifetime license and next to it Igo Next G..

For the live warnings i use Flitsmeister also installed on the radio so i can let the phone in my pocket.

The radio has no limitations during driving. Every thing works fine, steer wheel buttons, backup camera, dab radio and normal radio .

The sound quality of dab and radio are much better as the bosch.

Thats my first impression.

Guys, can we stay on topic here? There are hundreds of chinese crap units topics. This topic is about Bosch crap :)
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
crappy comment of an senior member?
[Connected Car] Muxeu:
Bosch prepares something new for us.
[Connected Car] 7virage7:
Good to know :)

However, for sure, it will take some time from MirrorLink standarisation to final software release. Bear in mind that historically ML site presented multiple versions, where oss-bosch site had only some of them and Suzuki service centers were able to upgrade after some time ofter oss release. Lets hope it will bring some improvements or optimisations.

From my perspective I have only one issue now - head unit sometimes tends to not engage Android Auto even though the phone reports that it is connected. Full car restart (media, engine, doors, etc...) seems to fix it. Do you have similar issues?
[Connected Car] Muxeu:
Maybe Android Auto Wireless? Dreams... ;)

I use AA too rarely, so can't say nothing about that issue
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
Wireless IMPOSSIBLE Bosch unit doesn't have the hardware for that.
[Connected Car] 7virage7:
True, wireless AA will not work in our cars.

But to be honest, either way you will need to plug in an external charger to keep you phone running for longer travels. Therefore using USB connection for AA is not that bad - I assume it should be more reliable/responsive than wireless and ensures the phone is charged simultanously.

Hi Guys

I have a Suzuki Vitara in the UK 2016, i downloaded the slda_suzuki-v185-2.zip file, went through the installation process, but was called away. Came back about 5-10 minutes later and the screen is completely blank. I'm thinking i have bricked it and stupidly not read the post stating to keep the engine running. (I know i am a total fool)

I can't get it to turn on anymore. Any ideas at all. Is there a hard reboot that i could try or am i totally out of luck and need a new unit?

Many thanks
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
You could try to disconnect it completely from the car for 24 hours and connect it again with usb stick in it and try to turn it on.

Download the firm again, maybe your download was corrupt.
[Connected Car] tido23118:
Would i need to pull the radio out to do this? With android phones they have a button combination that allow you to perform a hard reset. I wondered if there is the equivalent.

I'll look into how to pull the face plate off and give it a go

Thank you for your suggestion
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
I don't know if there is a reset method.

Thats why i suggest disconnect completely
[Connected Car] Muxeu:
Did you try just turn on HU by the power button on the screen?
[Connected Car] tido23118:
I did, multiple times, tried a long hold down, tried multiple button combinations, left it over night and tried again in the am. It is completely unresponsive.

It does have a SD card in for the satnav, tried with and without that inserted. Contemplated placing the new firmware onto the SD card to see if it would boot from that, but the SD is write protected.

I'm looking at different forums on how to remove the radio to see if disconnecting it works.

Cheers
[Connected Car] filnirv:
Perhaps disconnect car battery cables.
[Connected Car] tido23118:
That sounds a lot quicker, I've spoken to the dealership and now I'm worried that it will need to be sent off, if i do not have the codes to the radio in my log book. I'll need to have a good look before i do it. Tried to remove the face plate and was totally unsuccessful.
[Connected Car] ..::Jacob::..:
Beware of the costs for about 350 euros you have nice chinese radio with android much more fun as the bosch.

My bosch is now lying on the attic
[Connected Car] tido23118:
Just a quick update, I removed the car battery waited about 20 minutes, the clock on the car reset so i know it worked, but the radio still wouldn't boot. Tried to bridge the connection on the car battery incase any residucal power or if there was a backup battery. Still didn't work.

Managed to finally get the radio out of the car, removed the plugs, left it over night and still nothing. I contemplated searching for the OG stock image to see if i could install that via usb, but as the unit wont even power up, i think i'm all out of options.

any further suggestions? I may need to replace the unit with a Chinese model ;)

Many thanks

Finally 1850.2

Finally Upgraded to 1850.2. I waited for regular service to Suzuki center, but they said their latest is 850, so I've done myself.

First it was full failure due to USB (stuck at 24/100, then I stopped after 45min) and I thought that it bricked!

But then copied files to SD Card, and went smoothly and installed successfully.

After this, I made a mistake when inserted SD card with flashing files, after it was running; and it started to reboot. Trying to stop re-flash I ejected it and got stuck even worse.

So, had to re-copy files (otherwise didn't work) and restart the process. I think that running engine it's not really a must, but for starting the Parking brake! After it start copying, even you can drive the car, during the process.

(For bricked device, my recommnedation: 1. Have a new usb or card. 2 Format and copy fresh files. 3. Insert card 4. Parking brake 5. Start engine 6. Wait Ten minutes). Good luck.

Although of all hasle, Android Auto is great.

Did anybody tried connecting with older Nokia USB cables, they are short, less than 15 cm, maybe it would be better...

what is proper procedure, I heard that parking brake must be up, should engine be running, gearbox in neutral, or just contact on so SLDA infotainment turns on?

SLDA is a *nix unit. Navigation app is custom - most likely an open source Linux app customized by Bosch. Maps are TA (Here) and stay on the SD.

You don't have to flash navigation, it's already in the firmware. You only need the proper SD to get navigation activated.
