Firmware MMS Lada Vesta

If you have experience flashing smartphones, then you won’t have any difficulties reinstalling multimedia software. If there is a warranty, this should be done by the dealer. You can do the firmware yourself:

1. A firmware image is downloaded to a FAT 32 SD card, which must contain the files chain.bin, NK.bin, chain.lst, TINYNK.bin.
2. Exit to desktop.
3. Open the file Windows/OEM_Settig.exe.
4. Click the Upgrade OS button and start the firmware process.

After completing the procedure, you need to reboot the system while holding down the volume key - this is a radical measure. Updating to a more stable version will help eliminate malfunctions. Even a beginner can cope with this if he follows step-by-step instructions:

1. Turn on the device.
2. Insert removable media into the slot with the pre-loaded image for updating.
3. Press “i” (information) on the display.
4. On the pop-up window, you need to successively click on 4 dots in the corners of the screen.
5. In the new window, click on “Software”.
6. Click on “SW Upgrade”.
7. In the pop-up menu, click “Upgrade”.
8. The update application will open, where you need to select one of three modes. Update Radio will update the shell, Update Navi will update the navigation system, and Update OS will update the operating system.
9. Having selected the desired mode, press “OK”.

All that remains is to wait for the process to complete, during which the system will reboot several times.

During the update, you cannot turn off the power, turn off the ignition, or press buttons on the radio. The process can take up to one and a half hours. When the update is complete, click “OK”.

Firmware from third-party developers or violation of software installation rules can lead to freezes and inability to boot. The described method will help you deal with this problem by de-energizing the on-board network and starting the desktop using a removable card and an empty explorer.txt file. The situation can also be corrected by reformatting the drive or flashing the device using software from the manufacturer.

New AvtoVAZ

The new Lada Vesta model in a “universal” body has long been discussed in media sources and on automotive Internet portals. Photos of the Lada Vesta in its new guise presented on websites have caused heated discussions among car enthusiasts. Photos of the interior are very similar to the current interior of the sedan. The similarity in size and appearance is largely due to the fact that the station wagon will be assembled at the same plant in Izhevsk where the sedan is currently being assembled.

Most likely, the new Lada Vesta, like the sedan, will be equipped with three configuration options. What a real station wagon will look like will become known in the near future. The start of sales is scheduled for this fall.

LADA Vesta SW › Equipment

Select a package to view basic equipment and additional modification options.

The Lada Vesta, which recently entered mass production, has caused many disputes and discussions. The first independent tests and samples showed an excellent result compared to previous failures of AvtoVAZ - the car really exceeded the expectations of domestic consumers in most respects.

At the same time, the Lada Vesta in the “Comfort” configuration included a lot of components that are pleasant for the driver and very useful in practice. The cost of this average configuration, which is especially surprising, was only slightly higher than the price of the basic set of options, called “Classic”. What exactly the long-awaited Lada Vesta “Comfort”, which has glorified itself for its quality, included, will be interesting for every driver to know.

↑ Security

In addition to comfort and attractive appearance, this model is equipped with an impressive security system that allows you not to worry about the safety of the life of the driver and his passengers. The machine has the following systems:

• Built-in cruise control function.
• The parking sensors that our model is equipped with make parking easy in any conditions, which is especially important for large cities.
• The front seats are equipped with airbags and three-point seat belts.
• There are mounts for fixing child seats.
• To ensure the safety of children inside the car, the door lock is automatically activated while driving.
• Built-in alarm and immobilizer.
• Anti-slip system, EBD, ABS, BAS available.
• On-board computer.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that a car of this brand is focused, first of all, on ensuring the comfort and safety of the driver. Differences in configuration include the presence of a heated windshield for the Optima configuration, and rear power windows for the Image configuration.

The driving characteristics of all three models are at the same, very decent level, which makes it possible to compete with foreign analogues.

Lada Vesta Comfort is perfect as a family vehicle, as well as a business car, which cannot but please fans of the domestic automobile industry.

Main characteristics

The driving characteristics of the Lada Vesta “Comfort” are no different from the basic configuration. The “average” car is also equipped with a 1.6-liter VAZ engine with a rated power of 106 horsepower. The gearbox, however, was taken from French assemblers (the same was used on some Renault models). It is noteworthy that the manufacturer gave preference to the manual transmission - automatic transmission is not included in any equipment of the Lada Vesta car, and “Comfort” is no exception. However, even connoisseurs of automatic transmissions cannot help but recognize the advantages of the transmission used in the design: unlike previous AvtoVAZ developments, the Lada Vesta in the Comfort configuration does not make noise at high speeds and is much easier to drive.

Connecting steering wheel buttons (cruise control)

We change the steering column switch.

We stretch three wires to the ECU through the standard hole above the pedals (the unit is located in the engine compartment) and insert them into the block.

We connect the wires according to the diagram:

If connectors C2, C3 and E3 are already occupied, then the wires are already installed from the factory. Let's move on to the next step.

Pin 11 of the block should receive 12 V.

Options for comfort

The equipment of the Lada Vesta sedan and those who value convenience more than driving characteristics are very pleased. The configuration of the Lada Vesta in a hatchback body will most likely be composed in a similar way (for now only a sedan is being produced - other types of bodies are still under development). The manufacturers really tried to make sure that the name of their virtuoso assembly really spoke.

Among the pleasant nuances that are not available in a cheaper assembly, it is worth noting the presence of heated front seats in addition to the standard air conditioning. Driving in winter will be more enjoyable for connoisseurs of the domestic automobile industry. Also, the equipment of the new Lada Vesta includes stability systems ABS and ESC - and they are also available in the basic version. Another really important difference between the average set of options and the basic one will be the presence of parking sensors: contrary to popular belief, this control element is useful not only for novice drivers.

I wonder what else is included in the Lada Vesta “Comfort” package? This is a full-fledged audio system that replaces the standard radio with the ability to play a variety of storage media - from disks to flash cards. There is also the option of connecting the audio system via Bluetooth to other devices (for example, a mobile phone).

However, the most joyful news for Russian drivers will be the variety of trim levels in their average value. The general director of AvtoVAZ said that at least seven more different sets of options can be added to the Lada Vesta Comfort (for example, Optima - additional equipment for heating the windshield and replacing the wheels with cast ones with a radius of 15 inches).

The appearance of the interior shown in the photo, of course, does not reach that of a luxury car. Nevertheless, everything is appropriate here, everything is really necessary and useful, and at the same time, nothing is superfluous. Considering the fairly low price that the buyer will have to pay for this neat and aesthetically attractive car, we can say with confidence that the purchase will be worth it.

Previously I drove a VAZ 2107 2010. I’m not a fanatical driver, and over 6 years of operation I’ve driven as much as 12 thousand kilometers. I didn’t drive at all in winter; I had an unpleasant experience of an accident in winter when I was driving my father’s car. Because my marital status changed, a child appeared, the question arose about changing the car to something safer than a classic. Initially, we planned to take a used foreign car within 400 rubles, but relatives offered help, and the bar rose to 600 rubles. and decided to take a new car. I put seven people up for sale and went on Avito 2 hours after submitting the ad for 120 thousand. The options were: 1. Lada Vesta. 2. Kia Rio. 3. Hyundai Solaris. My wife and I went to the Hyundai showroom. Incomprehensible price lists with red stripes (the printer is not cool), the simple and ascetic interior of the Solaris was not liked at all. Next was the Kia showroom. Pleasant managers, excellent Rio interior, heated leather steering wheel, lots of stuff. nothing to say, it's a good car. And of course the Zhiguli car showroom. I have been following the news for a long time, I looked through all possible reviews and articles on the drive. I liked the car, well, it’s no worse than the Solaris inside, no worse!

On the trail. a week we took a test drive in a West with a robot, and after 10 minutes we went straight to a Rio with an automatic transmission in a luxury car. To say that I didn’t like the Vesta robot is to say nothing. It just didn’t drive, which of course can’t be said about the Rio automatic. But I intended to take the car on the handle! So never mind. Noise insulation, handling, suspension tuning, smoothness, driving over bumps and unevenness are approximately the same for both. The driver's position and seats are better in the west. The Vesta's salon is wider and more spacious. The side mirrors are larger than on the Rio, you can see much better.

It's time to compare prices. If the comfort package of the Vesta cost 592 thousand rubles, then the comfort audio-rio package on the handle cost 650 thousand rubles. and did not have parking sensors, the radio was poorer without Bluetooth, did not have ESP, an armrest, and had lower ground clearance. But the Rio had a warm leather steering wheel. To be honest, the main thing for me in a car is safety, having experience of flying off the highway into a ditch in winter due to loss of control and skidding, the presence of the ESP system was a determining factor for me. Just think, in Rio ESP is installed only on the automatic, and only on the maximum configuration, which costs 850+ TR. Then we decided to wait for the New Year and December, counting on maximum discounts at the end of the year. On December 6, the price of Rio increased by 10 tr, thereby hammering the last nail in the coffin of Rio. Sell ​​the outgoing restyle, which in a few months will be replaced by a new body, in December, at the end of the year, increasing prices. well, I do not know. And then the month of December came, when I came to the first OD VAZ salon (we have 2 OD VAZs in the city), I immediately demanded winter tires, floor mats and tinting to complete the Vesta comfort-multimedia package. To which I was kindly sent, the manager only agreed to winter tires, and I even had to pay for tire fitting for 1300 rubles. And they didn’t have a car; they had to wait several days for a car transporter. I immediately went to another OD, there were 4 cars available in the colors red, silver, angkor, and green. These gentlemen offered to do the tire fitting at the expense of OD; unfortunately, they did not want to provide mats. After 2 days, the title for the car arrived, and my father and I went to pick up the car. We picked it up on December 13, 2016. Winter tires NOKIAN nordman 5. Multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, rear view camera - I didn’t regret taking this particular package. According to the price list, I paid 616,000 rubles. We bought carpets for the interior in advance for 1500. We went and did MTPL for 5500, and CASCO with a franchise of 15 thousand, for 26500, + license plates 3200.
