SUBJECT: | FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) Reprogramming for DENSO Gen 4 Audio / Navigation Infotainment Systems |
INTRODUCTION:
This bulletin provides instruction for use of a new reprogramming procedure to optimize the Denso Gen 4 Audio and Navigation system utilized in the models listed above. Firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) is a process where remote devices can receive updates to their operating firmware. This process has become second nature with smartphones, tablets and many other connected devices. FOTA for automotive infotainment systems was designed with an emphasis on customer convenience. FOTA updates provide regular enhancements along with software patches as needed to enhance the customer experience. The convenience factor comes not only with the supply of regular updates and the enhancements they provide, but through customer control of when these updates are downloaded and installed. The only requirement is a secure Wi-Fi connection through a home network or the use of a secure Wi-Fi hotspot to create a connection to the update server. Once connected, customers can easily obtain and install any available FOTA update to their infotainment system. FOTA operation is conducted in two steps: download (from the server to the vehicle via Wi-Fi) and installation (internal to CP1 system in the vehicle). This bulletin will focus on FOTA for Denso Gen 4 audio systems (MID) and audio-navigation systems (HIGH) which utilize the 11.6-inch touch-screen display. Models with 7-inch dual screen display (Base) are not FOTA capable.
This bulletin outlines the procedure for performing FOTA updates successfully. These procedures involve:
- Assisting customers with FOTA -related concerns if they have been unsuccessful in performing the FOTA by themselves. (Possible vehicle or system concern.) *
- Performing the FOTA update for customers who are not comfortable or need assistance with performing it themselves but have requested the Retailer install it*
- Updating the firmware using a USB flash drive by following the steps outlined in TSB 15-26120R “Reprogramming File Availability for Optimization of Gen 4 Denso CP1 Infotainment Systems” when FOTA cannot be performed due to the setup difficulties*.
* NOTE: If a customer is simply requesting help with how to perform FOTA, NEVER share a copy of this bulletin. Instead, provide a copy of the appropriate customer instructions for FOTA available on Subarunet: Service Operations & Technical > Forms/Downloads page. See Appendix A later in this bulletin for more information.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand this information completely before proceeding.
NOTES:
- REMINDER: FOTA is available for MID and HIGH (Navi) systems with 11.6-inch display only.
- The currently available FOTA firmware version is not the same version available to Retailers for USB updating use. However, a system updated using FOTA can be further updated by using the USB update procedure. For additional details clarifying the scope of FOTA updates, review the 20MY Legacy/Outback Owner’s Manual Supplement’s additional information for the Center Information Display. The information is also be downloadable from: https://www.subaru.com/ owners/index.html See Appendix B below for more information.
- FOTA updates are for the system firmware ONLY. Map updates are a separate function which the customer may update on their own by using either USB download or Map Over the Air Update (MOTA). Go to: subaru-maps.com for more information.

FOTA REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE Step 1- Connect the vehicle Subaru to an active, secure Wi-Fi connection: • You can use one of two Wi-Fi sources: 1. The retailer’s secure Wi-Fi (if it reaches the vehicle) Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 6 of 27 Continued… 2. A cellphone’s Wi-Fi hotspot (if the phone and data plan are capable). NOTE: This update uses at least 100MB of data so, choose a Wi-Fi connection with no data restrictions. Wi-Fi connections requiring acceptance or login to a web page (such as a coffee shop or hotel) cannot be used. • To connect to the preferred Wi-Fi source, follow these steps: 1. Go to Settings on vehicle display screen. 2. Select General. 3. Select Wi-Fi. 4. Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on and then select Available Wi-Fi Networks. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 7 of 27 Continued… 5. Select the Wi-Fi network of choice (and enter the password if required). NOTE: Take note of the Wi-Fi signal strength in the top right corner of the screen. If only 1-2 bars are displayed with the selected network, download speeds will likely be slow. Choose a stronger network if possible or move the vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi source. NOTE: See Appendix C for troubleshooting tips in case an error is displayed. STEP 2– DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING UPDATES 1. Next, update the STARLINK system. 2. Go back to the General screen under Settings, 3. Scroll down and select Software Update. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 8 of 27 Continued… 4. For this update procedure, select Update. 5. If an update is available, select Download Now. NOTE: At this point, the user can choose to enable “Automatically Check for Updates” and “Automatically Download Updates” so in the future, the vehicle will advise the customer when an update is available. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 9 of 27 Continued… Once the download is complete, it is recommended to adjust the climate controls to the desired settings in case they become unavailable during the update process. 6. When ready, select Install Now. 7. The install process can take up to 40 minutes. If the display screen goes blank during the installation process, leave the vehicle on, and allow the system to restart. After up to two minutes, you will receive the message: “The software update is ready. Would you like to install it now?”. Press OK to continue. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 10 of 27 Continued… IMPORTANT: Once complete, the below pop up will be displayed. Press OK then, switch the vehicle OFF, exit the vehicle, lock all doors including the rear gate (if equipped) and move the key fob away from the vehicle at least 10 feet to enable affected systems to go to sleep. WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before proceeding to 8. below. 8. After 5 minutes, restart the vehicle. A “software update complete” message should be displayed signifying the successful update is now complete. If this message is not displayed, try switch the car OFF again and waiting another 5 minutes before restarting. 9. Switch the engine OFF then open the driver’s door to turn the system off and complete the procedure. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 11 of 27 Continued… NOTE: See Appendix C below for troubleshooting tips if any errors are encountered. WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION: For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period or covered by an active Subaru Added Security Gold plan, this repair may be submitted using the following claim information: Labor Description Labor Operation # Labor Time Fail Code DENSO CP1 VERSION CHECK ONLY A031-178 0.2 ZTZ-48 (MID) DENSO CP1 FOTA / USB UPDATE A031-173 0.6 ZTZ-48 (HIGH) IMPORTANT REMINDERS: • SOA strongly discourages the printing and/or local storage of service information as previously released information and electronic publications may be updated at any time. • Always check for any open recalls or campaigns anytime a vehicle is in for servicing. • Always refer to STIS for the latest service information before performing any repairs. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 08/02/2022 Page 12 of 27 Continued… Appendix A Links to Customer self-install instructions for FOTA Customer Instructions will be added to the Subarunet Service Operations & Technical > Forms/Downloads page when they become available. Once the links are available and to enhance customer satisfaction, consider providing customers with a copy of the appropriate instructions for their specific system along with access to the retailer’s secure customer Wi-Fi network. Doing so will enable customers to try performing the FOTA update on their own while at the retailer. REMINDER: Retailers performing these updates are to follow the Service Procedures outlined in this bulletin ONLY. Always follow the applicable service procedures as outlined in this and other Service Bulletins. The additional steps and requirements supplied in Service Bulletins support a Subaru Technician’s proper diagnosis and repair of any customer concern.
