SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

[Tell]

Hi Guys,

Its me again! After the successful update at my Mib2High now I want to try the wife's car (Skoda Fabia with Mib2ST2)

The installed version at the car is the following : MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0353T.

Saw at the Mib Solution that the latest version for this one is P0478T

Just some questions I have:

1) Does this version have the FEC files for the Full Link (as the car don't have it unlocked)

2) Is the process the same as it was for the Mib2High (Had this version Installed : MHI2_ER_SEG11_P4709_MU1447_1_AIO_Build_19032022) or there are specific steps that is needed to be followed?

3) I think that at Skoda you don't need mapcare as it was at the Seat ( Which my FEC is from skoda for lifetime mapcare) So I will continue to be able to update the maps as long as they support them right?

Any Other suggestion or any guide of someone who had it already installed will be helpful.

TIA

That's jumping trains which isn't advised... let others tell you whether it's possible. What seems to happen is you have a modded one to do it, then you can't update again within that train since its fixed.

3. Should be Ok.

1. And 2. Let others advise.

So I should stay to P03xxx?

Yes if you want a quite life. The fixes for known bugs get put in on each series train. Mib2high you can jump trains, mib2 standard you can't without a modded release / bench work by a retrofitter. That service is offered in the UK by East Yorkshire Retrofit.

@jpmedia @MIB-Wiki plus other Mib Tool experts can I ask you to look at this Australia post

Columbus Map Update 2022-2023 (MIB1/2 HIGH)

www.briskoda.net

The guy (TrevW) has an Audi tried to do the navigation FeC update but ended up with the European navigation FeC stuck in the car (I diagnosed that and how they got there). I note the latest Mib Tool corrects a FeC issue with NAL, is used for Rest of the World. The program has changed since I used it. They need someone to tell them what to do. I said unpick and start again with the latest update - that didn't work for them. Needs someone to take their download and sort it out. I note @MIB-Wiki also posts on Audiworld.

Audi people turn up on Briskoda navigation mib2 high pages since like Seat they have changed the FeCs or used AIO firmware but stumble on importing the maps. I can sort them out on that but not the techie mib tool stuff. Any assistance on that thread grateful.

Few places he did not post so far

Thanks will pass that on.

Well he missed the addFeC menu option but I gave him the appropriate FeC for Australia and told him to run the AddFeC command. Joint working . So Mib Tools is shipped for Europe but if you aren't in Europe you have to add the correct life long FeC. That was his problem and not tapping that command after editing it into the TXT file. We got there.

Hello folks, I updated my MIB2 High unit in steps to version 1409 (1146 -> 1219 -> 1376 -> 1409). Now I am thinking about updating to 1447, but I really don't like that carbon skin (I know it is really only minor detail, I just really don't like it ). So my question is, if this skin is necessary only on first boot after update and then can be changed back to default one or it needs to stay as it is? I was looking in this thread, but I didn't find any clear information about this.

Thank you in advance!

..and also thank you for this amazing community

You use the 1447 AIO release which takes out the need to fumble with the skin before installation and those missing languages in 1447 where you had to back fix, plus the FeC updates if you let it run to completion, then it's my understanding you can change back from carbon. If you can't you see black so you'd get it back again.

Mib Wiki posted up a link to 1447 AIO on here with the Gracenotes update but you'd find it in the mibsolution website I'm sure. That was when they were testing the Gracenotes update. They now have the ability to assemble their own code modules denoted by AIO as all in one.

Little confused excuse my lack of knowledge.

Does the following fall under MIB2 Harman High?
Part: 5F0035877
Hardware: H50
Software: 0514

EDIT: Believe you have to check your software train? Will check that later.

0514 gives it away as a Mib2 standard - 5 is the train in this case. 0516 I believe is the last release.

It's not a mib2 high.

Ahh nevermind then

How common were Mib2 High?

Was there a spec option?

There was a spec option for a time on Seat cars sold in the UK. Another £800 more or so. Some retrofitted after or from mib1 to mib2 high.

Those getting the originals argued it was a lot of money over a mib2 standard. They are better executed. Mib2 standard uses TomTom maps, mib2 high (called Seat Plus) use Here Maps cartography. Mib3 uses Here Maps cartography. Mib2 standard does the job, mib2 high better finished off on the next turn screens. Dragging and dropping route changes.

Mib2 high tended to be installed in Cupras as the brand split except outside Europe where no mib2 highs from Seat were sold. You won't find a mib2 high Seat or Cupra originally sold outside Europe. Imports thou.

As for common I guess only 5% were sold as a Seat Plus (mib2 high) whilst 95% of retrofitted mib2s were highs. Seat continued to provide the mib2 high option outside the UK but was trimmed out in about 2018 as the Cupra brand took up. Dates approximate.

Greetings

I have a problem, I wanted to update the modified firmware because of the full link. And at the moment my infotainment lights up with the seat logo and can't move any further, can it be reset or unblocked somehow? my version MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0351T
and I put the modified firmware from the site
https://mibsolution.one/#/1/9/MST2 ...SEAT_ZR/MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0515T multi-color-skin
MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0515T multi-color-skin
I don't know what to do next? please advise

 

[nutelacamp]

I don't know how to proceed, my seat screen lights up, it doesn't even turn off, you can only do a hard restart, but seat starts up again and that's where it ends!

 

[dadafu]

It can't work, you need to stay in the 3xx range because of your hardware, you can't install P05xx or P04xx firmwares.
Maybe someone here can help you to go back..

The last compatible firmware for you seems to be MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0369T ( here )

Just need to find how to flash it now

 

[Snahrk]

Hey all! Newcomer to the forum here. Searched the thread, but couldn't find an answer to my question. I'm sorry if it has already been answered.

I have a Seat Alhambra, SW v. MST2_EU_SE_PQ_P0468T, that I want to update to MST2_EU_SE_PQ_P0478T (from MIB solutions). I've done some VCDS-reprogramming, e.g. making the door mirrors fold when locking with the key nob. Will this need to be reprogrammed again after the update?

I went ahead and did this update. It's been working flawlessly apart from one thing: The radio station logos are gone. I also updated the maps around that time, but I don't know which one is the culprit. Is there a way to get the logos back?

 

[dadafu]

Mines just came back after researching all stations, maybe try this

Not sure whether your software is the one with the long button press on the radio blank icon then tap it again or some slight permutation of that to get the over the air logo. Most are transmitted. VAG went over to that method from populating in the system. The ones that fail to be populated can be uploaded on an SD / USB. That was true for all models mib2 standard / high. There was the VW / Skoda icon database but that has been deleted from their servers. It is available elsewhere. People make projects out of collecting the logos up. A good source and method I covered here.

Audio systems - Radio Logos (Mib 2 only)

It's that time again for a new radio station and getting the logo to match Circa 2018 Mib2 units came with the radio logos pre-installed now they are transmitted over the air on some stations others they are not or incorrect ones. The BBC...

www.seatcupra.net

The media.info website you can get the individual icons for those that were not in the VAG database. Its not a big task. Those ones that aren't transmitted over the air and were not in the VAG website can be back filled this way.

So yes it's the firmware, when I had my firmware upgraded to the mib2 high 1338 firmware it switched from the built in ones to the long tap, tap dance on the icon to get the logo populated but where a station doesnt transmit it, then back fill via the upload method covered.

Page from the manual... doesn't explain the tap dance on the button but covers uploading the image. See link above for more info.

+ another thread if feeling a bit technical

Station Logo Downloader

Hey all, Found that the guides that already exist reference a VW site that no longer works as expected so created my own method of downloading the logos. Media.info allows you to download each logo one by one but not a bulk download, so I quickly knocked up some code to download them all...

www.seatcupra.net

Reckon it's easier to just import the handful of stations you listen to from media.info for those not transmitting their logo .
