About M.I.B
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.
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
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:
