Title: 91u9 Infotainment system Recall
Post by: Rob_benton on 25 October 2019, 09:20

Hi
Just spoke to Vw  to check any recalls due and they said this recall is due.
Googling doesn’t give any info on what it’s for.
I want to get my car Indy serviced so would need a special trip to Vw just for the recall.

Does anyone know ?

Thanks

😂 I phoned up because I want to go to an Indy for my first service since I’ve owned the car and wanted to make sure any recalls have been done by the previous owner.

I had the update done today but can’t see anything different. Still not sure what’s been done.

This is an update to the firewall of the MIB system. The original firewall configuration was kind of dangerous :whistle:

What was dangerous with the old one?

The MIB unit when connected to a wireless access point did not have a firewall running on that wifi interface.

From the wireless network it was possible to connect to the MIB unit.

The update makes it possible for the MIB to talk to things but not things to talk it.

Could have created a security problem.
