All sorted with the 2023 maps.So hooked up to the trickle charger, prepared my SD cards and completed the MIB installation and I am not ready to update to the new maps but will do this tomorrow as I have ran out of time.
All worked perfectly as expected, amazing tool. Thanks to all on this thread for pointing me to the correct resources!
Thank you for the information & the instructions. I presume this would be the same process for NAR maps and even if I have Apple Carplay & Android Auto already enabled ? Sorry but as you can see I'm a newbie to Audi and all this. I try my best to keep up. I have bought a 64GB SD card and OBDEleven if that helps.Ok guys, I got it figured. You will have to be prepared to "hack" your unit with custom firmware to run on your MIB unit. Well, it's not even that, it's firmware running from an SD-card and installing a bootloader into the unit enabling you to run custom scripts on your unit.
Next to the map update it also enables CarPlay, Google Auto and Video in Motion + unlocks lifetime maps (so you can just download maps and update the database of your current model). So yes, it's true that the MIB is "licensed" normally but this patch will make the unit think it has lifetime maps updates and will hapily accept any map update you feed it year after year.

This will download a tool M.I.B. (More Incredible Bash). Get yourself an SD card and extract the content of the 7zip folder to your FAT32 formatted SD-card.
When done so put the SD-card in SD-slot 1 (important), do not put it in slot 2 but in slot 1!
Note: Start your car or make sure it's on power leads to charge battery while updating. If you stop or turn down the power in the middle of an update you'll brick your unit and render it useless.
This tutorial looks a bit sketchy and I was sceptical as first aswell but took the leap of faith in the amazing community it has behind this project and it's the best leap I've ever took.
1. Open the REM (Red Engineering Menu) by holding the NAV + MEDIA buttons for aprox 10 seconds.
2. Hit 'update'
3. Hit 'standard'
4. Scroll down and hit 'Start update'.
- This will write a bootloader to your MIB2 unit, it does not interfere with your current Audi firmware. Just let is update as usual. The unit will reboot 3 times during the process.

5. When the car is started up again hold the buttons NAV + RADIO to open the GEM (Green Engineering Menu)
6. Hit "M.I.B"
7. Scroll down untill you see the option to create a backup. For the sake of backups please create one, there is a great community behind this tool that will help you get back on track if you systems crashed or is not functionalling well. But then they will need logs and a backup ofcourse.

Note again. DO NOT, I REPEAT. DO NOT STOP THE UPDATE UNTILL IS SAYS ITS FINISHED. You can scroll down to check up on it's status. Again, NEVER turn off the power during an update. This will brick the device and render it useless, this is not recoverable.

8. When done you can hit the back button to go back to the 'main menu'.
9. To activate CarPlay, Google Auto and Video in Motion hit the option 'patch_ifs_root_aio'
10. Hit the option 'Flash_patched_image |add FECs | CP/AA coding'
11. Let the update run, again do NOT turn anything off untill its completely done.
12. After the update the system will reboot and CarPlay will be active on your system.

13. This update also enables the FEC code for lifetime Map updates. Download the maps in the opening post of this topic and put it on your SD-card.
14. Now go through the normal update procedure through the main menu and your MIB unit will accept the new maps and you can enjoy new maps every year they come out.
Note: The GEM menu will be available untill Audi or you renew/update the firmware on the MIB unit.
Hope I can help you guys out with this, if you have any doubts or difficulties PM me I'm happy to help out.
same issue here. I am stuck in this screen, did it a couple of times and same results. have you solved it ? thanksCan anyone help. Trying to unlock the bootloader to do the maps update and I keep getting this message at the end of the red software update. Also is anyone else having issues downloading the updated firmware? cant seem to download it, just keeps adding estimated time on and no progress. dont want to leave it downloading for 8 weeks View attachment 257903
Just to advice that this message is normal when you press RESUME then, the system performs the final boot and all is done. (at least in my case)same issue here. I am stuck in this screen, did it a couple of times and same results. have you solved it ? thanks
Fastest download links for NAR 2022/23 maps. I have successfully updated my MU0918 to MU1316 and will be trying the FEC patch tonight. I am just not able to download the latest maps as the link makes me feel like I'm back in the 64Kb/128Kb dialup modem era
Hi FaizmI am based in Australia, I was missing FEC code for ROW map. All good now.
I am assuming you have patched the MMI correctly with the MIB tool, right? If yes then probably something with the SD format or files in it.@Faizm sorry forgot to tag you above!
Just adding to the above in case anyone can help.. see below some screenshots of the issue I'm facing - trying to install RoW 23 maps - everything goes fine until I go to update then Start Update is greyed out. Any ideas what E15 means? Error? assuming the F means found. Map file is P313_N60S5MIBH3_ROW.7z

thanks a mill!

Hi @georgi0 - yeah no issues with the patches - turns out I needed a different FEC code for RoW maps which is 023D00ee instead of 023000ee. There are two files to change this in within the patches folder for MIB.I am assuming you have patched the MMI correctly with the MIB tool, right? If yes then probably something with the SD format or files in it.
It's the same steps if you have B&O and CarPlayThe thread is a little unclear, is this safe to do on a system with B&O? Is there any different steps for a car with B&O and CarPlay already working?
sattelite only works if you have an audi connect subscription2023 maps installed, everything went smoothly.
Unfortunately I seem to have missed something as still no satellite overlay. I just get an message saying couldn’t connect to the Audi server
I have a subscription, the £12 a month onesattelite only works if you have an audi connect subscription
Depending on the age/chipset of your car/head unit, Google Earth doesn't work any more and you might not be able to use the Audi offered replacement. If that's relevant to you, there's some potentially relevant information and someone offering a fix (for a fee) here and here.I have a subscription, the £12 a month one
read the whole threadHi,
I currently have 2016 version of maps and would like to try this update/patch/apple carplay activation if possible. The link in the post no longer works for me for some reason but would my current version work does anybody know?
My car is a 2016 FL S3.

All the links apart from the very first one were working, however they are now all down.Hi @GeorgeRoch ,
I think what @AJR is politely trying to tell you is that your version is not supported by MiB.
As all links in this thread don't appear to be working have a read HERE
Check from the red menu. Hold nav/map + radio for 10 sec while you're in the main menu.Can someone confirm is this MIH2 unit which I have on my car?
Hi mate, do you happen to know the procedure for manually patching MHIG? I have found the firmware on the solutions site along with a ifs patch but no idea how to add it.Mhig patching method is the same (manual method by patching ifs root). Eu map fec is 021000ee. Mhig uses the same maps as mhi2/mhi2q.
No aa/cp possible
