Firmware MMS 2190 for the multimedia system in the balanced LADA Granta model allows you to significantly expand the functional potential of the built-in device.
Note that the standard version of the multimedia complex, present in the LADA Granta car in the “Standard” and “Norma” versions, does not allow you to perform the list of actions given in this material. To successfully update the dashboard firmware, only the head unit, which is equipped with the Lada Granta in the “Lux” version, is suitable.
The procedure when flashing MMS 2190 firmware provides for the presence of the “GPS” option, and more specifically, the modification of the “Globalsat BU-353S4” receiving module. In addition to it, the “head” must have a 3G modem in the Huawei E1750 model from the Megafon operator. A pair of these devices, combined with advanced software, allows you to implement not only the navigation function previously promised by the VAZ engineering department, but also the coveted Internet. All designated devices are available for purchase on eBay, which is cheaper compared to offers from alternative retailers.
For domestic cars, the navigation option and the Internet are incompatible phenomena, since to ensure their full functioning, you will need to use a USB signal splitting device “DNS ATH-08”.

How to install 2 din in grant norm or standard
Everything is more complicated here. Need to:
- dismantle the center console trim - unclip the fastenings, move it forward and disconnect the buttons and heater handles;
- cut out a vertical plastic partition that will not allow you to install a 2 din device;
- file the plastic casing of the central air duct;
- try on a new acoustic unit, adjust the fastenings if necessary;
- install adapters from the delivery kit on the wiring (if required);
- install the device;
- if we leave the old center console trim: we cut out the partition, try it on, put it in place with the buttons and handles connected, adjust the decorative frame of the control unit, install it;
- if we install a new trim on the console under a 2 din device: we transfer the heater control unit and buttons from the old trim, install them in place, and put a decorative frame on the control unit.

If after the firmware the radio does not boot, but freezes on the “LADA” logo :
- Make sure nothing is inserted into the USB port.
- Create an empty Explorer.txt file in the USB root. After rebooting, the WinCE desktop should load.
- Try turning off the power to the MMC (remove the battery terminal) for 5 minutes.
- Try formatting the SD card to a different file system (FAT32/exFAT/FAT) and reflash the radio again.
- Use another SD card to flash the radio firmware.
Let us remind you that we solve other problems of MMS related to its operation in this article.
The MMS Grant firmware makes it possible not only to expand the functionality of the system itself, but also the ability to connect a rear view camera to the standard multimedia.
It is worth noting that the presence of a standard or normative standard multimedia system pre-installed by the manufacturer is not suitable for performing a number of actions that will be described below. The exclusively multimedia system in the luxury configuration is suitable for firmware.
The process of flashing the multimedia system requires the presence of a GPS receiver, namely the Globalsat BU-353S4 model, as well as a Huawei E1750 3G modem from Megafon. These devices, paired with new software, will allow you to use the navigation that VAZ engineers promised, and will also delight you with the presence of the Internet in the car. All these products can be bought on eBay, and cheaper than in other stores.
Conclusion
The latest version of the firmware we reviewed turned out to be quite convenient. It is impossible not to note from a positive perspective its developers - participants in the Grant Club. Having a convenient interface in MMS, you can comfortably spend time behind the wheel of LADA Granta.
How is the firmware installed for the MMC 2190 Grant? This question is asked by many car enthusiasts. Lada Granta is a modern domestically produced car; it differs significantly from previous models offered to VAZ car owners. This is a reliable car that belongs to the budget class. The interior equipment deserves attention. Unlike previous VAZ models, the Lada Granta Lux is equipped with a multimedia system that is not inferior to foreign cars.
There are several models of MMC Lada, so you can purchase the most suitable option. The multimedia system is equipped with TouchScreen. Much attention should be paid to catalog numbers. The Lada Granta MMC runs under the Windows CE 6 operating system, which is designed for devices that have maximum memory. But the operation of a multimedia system is not always ideal. In this case, the firmware for MMC 2190 Grant will eliminate some problems.
Direct firmware mms 2190 grant
The firmware process is quite simple! All you need is an SD card. Note! The SD card must be formatted in FAT16. A common problem after flashing the firmware is the Lada logo freezing on the monitor of the standard multimedia system. This problem may occur as a result of:
• Failure to comply with the parameters of the required formatting system; • Old SD card model, different from SDHC.
If a problem of this kind arises, then it is necessary to check compliance with the above two points of the procedure for flashing multimedia firmware on the Lada Granta.
After the flash drive is formatted and the new software has been decided, for example, NewMenu V7.391Nitro, you need to download the new firmware NewMenu V7.391Nitro and unpack it directly onto the SD card itself.
As for the FirmWare folder, the files located in it must be moved to the root of the SD card. The root of the SD card implies placement of files in addition to other moved folders.
The copying process is complete, which means it’s time to remove the flash drive from the computer. It is worth noting the need for mandatory safe removal, which has long been known to all PC users.
An SD card with files placed on it must be inserted into the mms. After the removable media is inserted into the mms, it must be turned on. After waiting for the device to fully boot, long pressing the volume key will reboot it.
The reboot takes place in four stages, which is shown in the example of four boot lines, upon completion of which, MMS will start in normal mode (standard display menu). Just a few seconds after the standard menu, the radio will go to the altmenu.
Note! If any device is connected to the USB radio, the altmenu will not start. After removing the device, the radio must be rebooted again.
The advantage of using the ATH-08 DNS USB splitter, which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, is multi-polarity. A GPS receiver and other USB devices connected to the hub will not interfere with the launch of the altmenu, but will become inactive.
Main functions and appearance features
The infotainment display is very bright and the touchscreen is sensitive to touch.
Multimedia supports three formats. It provides the opportunity to listen to audio, see the cover and artist name. You can adjust the sound quality using the equalizer. MMC Lada Granta has about six programs that perfectly optimize sound quality. Of course, such settings do not allow you to achieve ideal quality, but the music will sound clear and without interference.
MMC 2109 has the ability to view video files
Not all video formats can be viewed using multimedia. For this MMS, only WMV format is available. Therefore, you can only record video files using a converter. Higher file resolution will cause the system to freeze. The processor used in the multimedia system is quite weak. Viewing photos is a little difficult. The better the quality of the photo, the longer it takes to open.
The standard version of the MMC Lada Granta Lux allows you to use the Bluetooth installed in your mobile phone and listen to the recordings that are on it. The multimedia system can “read” flash drives, but their maximum capacity should be no more than 64 GB, as well as SD cards up to 32 GB.
Setting up GPS on a firmware MMS Lada Granta
Setting up GPS is quite simple and is done only after connecting the Globalsat BU-353S4 GPS module. The setup itself requires the following steps:
1. Go to the “Tools” menu;
2. Calling the on-screen keyboard;
3. Connecting the module itself;
4. You must enter the following path: staticstoredll232usb.dll
5. After the driver search request is displayed on the screen, you must continuously press the “OK” key. Press it until the request disappears from the screen.
If all five GPS settings are completed without errors, then you need to go directly to setting up the navigation software. Directly in the navigation program you need to select the COM5 port and the port speed of 4800bps.
After carrying out such manipulations, everything should work. Please note that Navitel from the archive is already configured.
As a conclusion, we must pay tribute to the developers of this firmware, namely the guys from the grant club, who, in turn, developed the interface and additional software to improve the comfort and meet the needs of Lada Granta owners.
Lada Granta Black Rook (BR) › Logbook › The encoder on the MMC works again
Today I would like to talk about the Encoder in the standard MMC2190. Many have already encountered the fact that over time it begins to work incorrectly, namely, when they try to reduce or increase the volume, some kind of chaos occurs with the sound. So this “trouble” started for me a couple of months ago, and has become quite annoying to me (especially when the employees stop me). After surfing the Internet, I found several ways to deal with this: 1. Install or update the SingleMenu firmware, which will allow you to adjust the volume by tapping on the screen on the left side; more about this here 2. Replace the Encoder with a new one (unfortunately, I could not find information about the encoder model , but more on that below) 3. Partial cleaning (85% helps) 4. Complete cleaning (disassembling the encoder)
According to option No. 1
I won’t describe anything, all the information is here, for which thanks to LeonProfessional for constant updates and user support.
Option No. 2
consists of purchasing and replacing the old encoder with a new one. Here are all the markings that I could find on the encoder
Work order
The process itself is very simple. To use such a card, you must first format it in FAT16. During the flashing procedure, the Lada logo may freeze, this happens for the following reasons:
- Outdated map;
- The card was formatted in the wrong system as required.
Therefore, the procedure is simple, but it must be treated very carefully. You can download the new firmware on the official Lada website.
We connect the card to the multimedia system. Then we turn on the standard system itself. We wait for the system to start and then reboot the radio by pressing the volume key.
The program must go through four stages. Once enabled, you will see an alternative menu. This ends the preparatory stage. If everything is correct, you will see working Windows. Then all that remains is to install the software. Go to the folders Start – Setting – Control Panel.
If you experience freezing when moving from folder to folder, then simply reboot the system. Going to the panel, open the Stylus – Calibration icon. This menu will help you calibrate your screen.
Next, reboot the system again, press the volume key and hold for about ten seconds.
After turning it on again, open the Soft – radio folder and run the installation file.
These actions will help the system recognize files and stabilize the operation of your media system, as well as adjust the equalizer when you listen to the radio.
Then we set up a navigator if you need one. Go to the tools, connect the module, specify the path Staticstore\dll2usb.dll. After finishing the search, press OK, and continue to press until the menu disappears from the display.
Completion
All. You have flashed your multimedia system, and now it will work stably and efficiently. You can also return your standard operating system.
When installing a new operating system, you should use NewMenu V7.391 Nitro to work with the navigator. Today this is the newest and highest quality system for use in Lada Granta multimedia systems.
How to eliminate some shortcomings of the multimedia system
Sometimes, in order to start using new media, you need to purchase it. She will certainly be able to cope with tasks that are standard. But you can’t expect more from it without additional modifications. Without this, you will not be able to configure the navigator or connect a rear view camera.
It must be said that many multimedia that modern foreign cars are equipped with are significantly inferior in their capabilities to the MMC Grant. This system is unique and quite competitive. If there are minor problems in the operation of the MMC, then updating the MMC firmware will eliminate them. Let's look at how to make firmware for 2014.
