Did you unzip the file?

I can't tell the version number since Carplay did not recognize. But the transfer file name is wetransfer_pcm3-1_b-rar_2022-01-07_0933



This is same 0105b version. I received the same file when I asked for equivalent FW upgrade to v1.2 board. This update is for v2.0.

The ZIP file name is just different reflecting 01/07 date, which I’m assuming it is when the file was compressed, but the actual uncompressed files are the same as the ones shared here before.

It should work with any car with a PCM 3.1 unit fitted. Just be sure to watch every install video and read through this entire thread before attempting it. Its not for all taking the PCM apart.

Mine works 99.9% in my 981 GTS, I just have to sometimes reconnect the bluetooth on my phone manually if I park up for less than 30 mins.
I am using wireless Android Auto and have Waze and Google Assistant working perfectly.

Yes, we have identical zip file. What do I need to do make Isudar to read the USB disk? I used 3 different USB disks formatted with Fat32. Inserted them into the glovebox USB port.

@Porshatt My USB on the glovebox (factory one) doesn't work with Isudar (for updates or videos/music). I had to use the USB cable that is directly connected to the ISUDAR board.

Thanks, I was inserting to the PCM USB port. The Isudar USB port worked and updated the SOC firmware to 0105B. Will report on the reconnection problem.

After upgrading to firmware 01.05B on my version 2.0 board, reconnection problem has been fixed. Here is what happens: PCM starts in Aux page. Press Info button. Isudar settings page appear. Wait for 3 seconds. During this time, if you monitor your phone you will see that Isudar makes your phone disconnect from your house Wifi and connect to Isudar Wifi. At that point, the screen switches from Isudar settings page to CarPlay screen.

@Kimiiii here is the ongoing problem: After I turn off the PCM and go back into the house, Isudar remains running and the phone does not switch back to house Wifi for xx minutes. Please make Isudar turn off Wifi when we turn off PCM.

If you need an upgrade file, please find the relevant purchase website to get it!! Upgrade files from other sources, please do not upgrade.
1. Regarding the bluetooth connection problem, the bluetooth cannot be connected. Please recheck whether the bluetooth or wifi antenna is connected correctly. If necessary, it can be solved by upgrading.
2. If the carplay cannot be automatically connected, it can be solved by upgrading the system. Please send the photo of the new version to the website you purchased, and contact them to receive the upgrade file.
PS: The PCM upgrade method must be correct!
(1. Copy the upgrade file (see the attached picture) to an empty USB, the file must be copied correctly, otherwise the upgrade will not be successful.
(2. In Settings - Version Information - Click Upgrade (the system will recognize the file content).
(3. After clicking upgrade, the screen will be black, and it will take about 15 minutes to wait. Please wait patiently for the device to restart.
3. If you need to solve the return button of the steering wheel control, we have a new upgrade file to provide. Please send photo of the new version to the website you purchased, and contact them to receive the upgrade file.
4. The problem of black screen can be roughly divided into the following two categories. One is caused by the failure of the upgrade. Please do not upgrade the system or MCU arbitrarily.
The other most common is that the cable connection is incorrect, which will lead to a black screen. Even if pcm can be used for a period of time, there will be a black screen in a few days. See the correct picture of the cable connection.
5. If there is no sound, you need to activate AUX first. If there is no option for AUX. Follow the steps below to activate AUX. Please see the operation link for details:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbAbZXHreDI
6. To solve the sound of PCM and the sound of steering wheel control, it can be solved by upgrading the MCU.
7. Pls note, pls" aftermarket" mic at setting for carplay/android auto if mic is not working well.
If you need an upgrade file, please find the relevant purchase website to get it!! Upgrade files from other sources, please do not upgrade.
Kimi,
The 0105.B firmware fixed the reconnection problem on the latest Isudar board. But, here is the ongoing problem: after we turn off the PCM and go back into the house, Isudar remains running and the iphone does not switch back to house Wifi for a long time. Please make Isudar turn off Wifi when we turn off PCM.
Thanks

MaddMike;

I know someone here has the Isudar Board installed on his PCM 3.1 with Burmester Sound.
By the way congratulations on the new car.

It's not the cost or time. It's the many issues people seem to be encountering, the convoluted software update process,, a handful of bricked or damaged PCMs, etc.
