About M.I.B

Supported MIB2 units

M.I.B is made to run on the so called VAG MIB2 Harman High units. These are used under different names on many AG cars starting 2015 until 2021+. However, MIB2 units are phasing out now and are replaced with MIB3 hardware (which is NOT supported by M.I.B).

In short all Harman High units with train ⭐MHI2⭐ are supported by M.I.B.

M.I.B GEM - SD only solution

ℹ️ Check here for detailed instruction on how to prepare and use M.I.B SD

  NOTE:  SD card has to be placed in unit (SD1) to enable M.I.B. in GEM. --> no SD no M.I.B.
         GEM screen layout is fitted to 9.2'' screens - should work OK on 8'', but will have text cutted on smaller than 8''

 Update to new M.I.B. version:
  No need to reinstall M.I.B if you want to use a new version.
  Just create a fresh SD with latest M.I.B. version and insert into unit

M.I.B Classic - putty interface (not maintained)

From the very beginning of M.I.B. - before the metainfo2 exploit was known. Not maintained anymore, basic functions are still available:

"old" D-Link Method: Connect to MHI2 and start M.I.B.:
  D-Link - e.g. DUB-E100 HW rev. D1 - USB-Ethernet adapter is required to connect to your MHI2 unit.
  Use Putty/Kitty to connect via UART or Telnet (MIB IP:172.16.250.248) and login into RCC (recommended: port:123) or MMX (port:23).
  Login and password for your units SW train has to be known.
  Check your SW-train, a pre-patched ifs-root-stage2 has to be present within the folder /patches
  Insert the SD card into slot SD1 of your MHI2 unit and login to the RCC shell:
   # Mount SD card in slot SD1
     mount -uw /net/mmx/fs/sda0/
   # start M.I.B by typing
     /net/mmx/fs/sda0/start

  Default screen seize of Putty/Kitty is often too small to display the M.I.B. menu in full.
  Increase the window seize manually.

You should see (a more colourful) menu with the following content:
