X35 System updating process
MAHLE X35 Systems require a special device called MAHLE GCU to be updated correctly, so we recommend that you contact your authorised dealer to carry out this update process properly. Latest firmware version available: V Q4.3 Released October 2023 which replace V Q3.2 released September 2022 and all the previous versions.
How to update your X35 bike
*In cases D and E, you will need to disconnect in order to repeat the process. Disconnect the GCU from the bike and the charger, turn off the bike and repeat steps 4-9. If the update process is still unsuccessful, send the GCU_log.txt file located on the USB memory stick by email to MAHLE Smartbike Systems to analyse the problem.
