Modern car players are, at their core, highly technological, computerized devices. That is, they work under a specific operating system. The appearance of any software failures or other obvious violations in the performance of the duties and functions assigned to the device indicates that this device (standard radio Lada Granta Lux) needs to reinstall the operating system or flash the firmware.

Lada Granta “red metallic” › Logbook › Firmware for standard radio MMC 2190 under win8
I decided to flash a standard radio, after reading a couple of forums and discussions, it became clear that this process is not at all complicated. So, for those who are interested, I will download both the firmware and maps for navigation. So the installation process: Perform all operations on MMC firmware only at your own peril and risk! Which leads to loss of the manufacturer's warranty on MMC! Attention: before flashing the MMS firmware, check the software version, consult the forum about this, do not rush to kill your device! You CANNOT flash MMS with software version 23.02.27 or 21.1.2.39
Firmware instructions for those who do not have access to the WinCE desktop:
Take an SD card of maximum 4GB and format it to FAT (default). Copy files from the FirmWare folder to the root of the SD card: Chain.bin, chain.lst, NK.bin, TINYNK.bin. (that is, we simply dump these files onto SD without a folder). You can download the archive with the files here: Hybrid firmware with Russian locale v34+38 for Grants from TarLink yadi.sk/d/ga_Fi4xTdsVof Firmware with Russian locale ver.38 for Kalina/Priors from TarLink yadi.sk/d/9Is1u7bwdsVu3 Then, with the radio turned on, insert the SD card into the slot and reboot the radio by pressing the power button (keep the button pressed until signs of life appear on the screen =)). The firmware process will begin and we wait. When the radio is flashed, it will restart automatically, and then you can remove the SD card. Now you need to calibrate the screen (Settings - Screen - Calibration) and don’t forget after calibration, when the 30-second countdown begins, tap on the screen! You can then exit to the desktop by long pressing “Settings”. Most importantly, do not forget to remove all the gadgets from the USB when you flash MMS.
To install NewMenu via the WinCE desktop (manually), follow these steps: WINDOWS 8 NEW THEME WITH 4 SKINS BLUE-GREEN-BLACK-GRAY-GREEN 01/25/2015 Updated! No brakes. Everything is collected on the basis of AltMenu 7.391 Nitrogen and the menu has only 4 themes in different colors and ONLY WINDOWS 8. The theme is very heavy, for this reason they did not clutter others and it helps to work very well. Everything is already inside the assembly with all the settings. When you select a different shell, a dialer is built in. All the innovations are here. Unpack the INSTALL folder from the downloaded NewMenu archive onto an SD card or USB drive. We push the card into the MMS and go to work by long pressing the “Settings” button. We go to the SD card and run install.exe from the install folder. You will be prompted to install NewMenu - we agree. At the end of the installation, the MMC will reboot into the mainframe. To exit to the altmenu, hold down the “settings” button of the standard shell.

Firmware for radio
Granta deluxe head unit. Device functionality
Lada Granta Lux is a modern car of the domestic automobile industry, equipped with a multimedia system that is not inferior in quality to its imported counterparts. The MMC Lada Granta Lux is controlled by a Windows-based OS. In addition to the usual standard functionality for such equipment, MMC Grants have an additional number of options. Such as connecting rear view cameras, navigation system, viewing photos and videos from a flash card, and so on. But on one condition. Additional improvements to the OS. Simply put, in order to use the system to its fullest, you will need to update the firmware of the 2015 Lada Granta Lux standard radio.
How to install MMS Lada Granta
Before we start, we will need to purchase the MMC itself, as well as the central console from the Lux version.
If you have already completed this step, then we will need to remove the center console of the “Norma” version and install the console from the “Lux” version. You can see how to remove the console in our article.
When replacing consoles, you will need to remove the heater control unit from the old console. In order to remove this element, you need to unscrew two screws on the back of the console.
Due to the difference in the fastenings of the panel of the “Lux” version in relation to the panel of the “Norma” version, before installation you need to buy four VAZ clips and four self-tapping screws with a 16 mm flat head. You will also need to purchase a USB extension cable if the purchased radio is not equipped with one.
Next, insert the pre-prepared clips into the marked places (red circle in the photo). And we drag the USB extension cable into the standard hole in the glove compartment.
Then all we have to do is install the console in its regular place, with the radio already inserted into it. Don’t forget to connect all the necessary connectors: heater, lower unit buttons, alarm button, ISO connectors, etc.
The last step is to snap the edging of the instrument panel of the “Lux” version into place. This completes the installation of the standard Lada Granta Lux multimedia system.

Possible problems with the operating system after flashing the firmware
Very often, after the installation of the improved version of the 2015 OS on the multimedia system of the Lada Granta Lux car is completed, the radio tape recorder freezes on the Lada manufacturer's emblem. This may happen due to the fact that some storage medium is inserted into the USB port.
Also check whether an empty operational file has been created in the USB root folder, which after a reboot displays the Windows desktop on the monitor.
Reformat or even replace the CD card and repeat the firmware update from the very beginning according to the proposed scheme.
If the actions we recommended did not help, try turning off the power supply to the radio for at least five minutes.
By the way! All operations related to the reinstallation of programs on the standard radio installed at the factory are performed at your own responsibility. In this case, the manufacturer's factory warranty is void.
Where to download free radio firmware for Lada Granta Lux
Stock (standard standard) firmware for the multimedia system installed in the Granta Lux car, as well as modified, home-made versions of the basic Windows operating system that vary in level of performance and functionality, can be found in large quantities on numerous automotive forums on the Internet.
It should be noted that the official manufacturer AvtoVAZ does not provide any special information on this matter. That is, the information on the firmware itself is present on the official website, but has not been updated since the release of the first model of the car itself.
Due to these circumstances, car enthusiasts are forced to find and share firmware options themselves with others who want to update the OS of their cars, for better use of all the options and functions declared by the manufacturer.
We bring to your attention video instructions on how to download the firmware of the Lada Granta Lux radio on 4 PDA, with subsequent installation on the MMC.
I had the same problem with Grant Lux. After a month of use, outright glitches began: it would turn on itself, then the song would switch, or the volume would jump. I had to reflash it, but the services want so much money for it that I decided I’d do everything myself. On the second attempt, working according to the described scheme, everything worked out and so far no new glitches have appeared.
