SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

[Tell]

You'd only need to side step the map SD card authorisation if your map card was corrupted and you couldn't buy another one in your country. In the EU we just buy them off ebay saves the hassle of modding the firmware. The map workaround methods of shifting the overall.nds file defeats mapcare. Only if you wanted specific extras from the toolbox that its worth doing.

As for moving off your train I recall now that defects in the jumped to update were the reason why the poster was trying to get off that version but the defects might have been due to the Turkish firmware sold, so they had bought a mess why they were told to revert. Thus if the firmware works fine stay on it but if the reason to upgrade is that it's not working well, is that you have been sold a pig in a poke. An English expression.

Hi everyone!
I have a Leon X-perience 2015 with MIB2 High.
My actual sw version is: MHI2_ER_SEG11_S0257 which is 0123, this is very old, and my map is old as well, date 2018.
My question is that can i update my firmware one step to MHI2_ER_SEG11_P4709_1_AIO_MU1447_20230320 ?
Than i can update my maps too.
Is there any risk or something won't work after update?
Thank you!

I'm 99% sure that you cannot update in one go, you have to do it in stages.

I found a post about direct upgrade from 0123 to 1447, worked succesfully. LINK
I do not know was it just luck...

It's the mibsolution.one 1447AIO which has proved durable to big jumps in the releases. The mib2 firmware thread describes the success.

Basically the mib2 enthusiasts using an exploit in mib2 firmware have customised the final release of the mib2 high firmware namely 1447 adding the navigation life long fecs, sports screen, updating gracenotes etc. That they called 147AIO (AIO short for all in one). Normally 1447 would not include life long fecs and the rest.

Series of success with that on the thread with big jumps of firmware which you can't do with the mib2 standard but can with the high.

It's that thread that @MIB-Wiki put up. I did note one poster had the unit hanging after but just needed to interrupt the process. The back end menu can be idiosyncratic. Find that one with a search of 1447 aio pulling the fuse out. Others didnt. Another poster got impatient and said no to mib tools running at the end so didn't get the FeC upgrade, sports screen. Other than that it's worked well on old units as well as new.

That's where the guys on the thread said previously to people "get back on your original train". The modified ones can't be updated further from that point, not in the normal way. I note @leonlad is on 5 series now. I suspect the toolkit helped. Think the Turkish guy left a series of issues around as Polish retrofitters did in the UK in the past. Been there done that. As a few others.

The reliable retrofitter and board sponsor is this one :

MIB2 ZR software updates SEAT

Seat MIB2 software updates

eastyorkshireretrofits.co.uk

I note they ask for the 2xx units to be returned if they want 4xx or 5xx with tiles. It's the way the update works else it may brick the unit. Then you short some pins inside to get it back if DIY it's on the net. There might be techniques which are more DIY to that 2xx to 4xx / 5xx. But if doing it yourself be prepared for it to be bricked and know the way to get it back if not UK based. East Yorkshire have fixed with bricked units from the board before and their associate up there. These were round that Turkish software as I recall. I arrived late to the party. Only the Poles were messing up mib2 highs with their antics in the UK of miss selling map and firmware updates. Those had to be sorted out by East Yorkshire or DIY which had progressed a bit with the mib2 high tool kit and 1447 AIO. The bricked units are an expert or the screws out. Expensive kit to mess up. Mib2 highs are more forgiving with train jumping, mìb2 standards aren't.

yes toolkit and python file that changes a file on the firmware that checks what unit you have so it will run on another older train.

These seat mib2 std units all seems to be the same regardless of part number, i have had 5x running on a 2x unit, i did revert back to 4xxx on a 2xx unit and its been perfect as vcds has no label file for 5x firmware, there was no difference between 4x and 5x that i noticed anyway, but a huge difference from the clunky slow old 2x firmware.

Hi,

some time ago I updated to "MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0516T", but still my Apple CarPlay looses the connection all the time. This version seems to be the lates one I can find in the folder: https://mibsolution.one/#/1/9/MST2 - TechniSat Preh/Firmware/SEAT_ZR, last modified on May 25, 2021. Does anyone know if there is a newer version available? Would be nice if Apple CarPlay would work one day in my Seat Leon

Best regards

No that's it. There was a debate at the time whether 515 was better than 516. Eg. The upgrade wasn't as good. 515 then vanished off that site so it became academic.

I succesfully updated from 0123 to 1447 AIO. I had stuck at boot too, but SVM fix and hard restart fixed it.
But now i have a big problem, there is no Hungarian language anymore.
There is an option to add this language or how can i fix this?
Thank you!

One for @MIB-Wiki and we do have the expert @Chillout . There is likely to be a github page.... this

You don't see language options ?. Might be just an easy solution. Checked the car manual for changing languages. If you see other languages but not yours then yes. Need the experts.

There is probably a support site hiding on a German board which is the other one if we we can't summoned up the experts.

I can see the language change option with many options, but there is no Hungarian anymore.

I updated the navigation files too and the nav speech is english too.

Probably the developers which are enthusiasts grabbed a file with the language missing. If you don't hear anything suggest you post it up as an issue on that github page. You could cross post on the thread:

You got a contact list on the bottom of that. They are all the same group more or less so you'll probably stir someone into action. Basically they rebuild the software so possibly they grabbed the wrong file.

I knew something rang a bell:

SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

Upload your M.I.B log file from Sd card.

www.seatcupra.net

1447 did have missing language files in it and you had to back fill them using SWDL. That was suppose to be fixed. You need to look at the Digital Elite Board where they were doing this.

It should have been fixed with the AIO software. So you find a past copy before 1447 and copy forward the language files into memory. Least suspects that's the solution. It was an issue of the unmodified 1447. This is where the German board posters... some of them claimed there was no issue. Reckon you have the unfixed language file. I did post some stuff up on the Digital Eliteboard at the time. It was on the pure thread of 1447 prior to 1447 AIO.

Checking it was a language file they had missing in the original 1447

Expect it's something similar. You need to find the release with Hungarian language in it and SWDL to copy it in but you need the experts to confirm. SWDL is unlocked via the developers menu. The firmware is modular so the correction is probably straight forward. Fingers .

Hello,
Thank you for this information!
As i searching i found language files in 1447 AIO in \SpeechAppRes\speech-common-data\0\default\trans\ssp_trans\trans_common
Is this what we looking for? In hu_HU folder there is only one file in it, other languages has 15.
Another folder probably Navigation voice and there is Hungarian file so nav speech should work.

MIBsolution is very slow nowadays, but i had these firmwares downloaded and neither contain files in mentioned hu_HU directory:
MHI2_ER_SEG11_P3240_MU0674
MHI2_ER_SEG11_P3302_MU0818
MHI2_ER_SEG11_P4708_MU1409
MHI2_ER_SEG11_P4709_MU1447

As i can check other firmwares too.
It will be good if i check older firmwares too, but i can not find these firmwares anywhere. On MIBSolution the MU0674 is the oldest.
MHI2_ER_SEG11_S0257 MU: 0123
MHI2_ER_SEG11_S2105 MU: 0319
MHI2_ER_SEG11_S2130 MU: 0355

We need the experts. The question is when did Hungary disappear out of it and whether they are language packs that are swapped in and out of it.

Anyone encountered issues where CarPlay randomly disconnects, and freezes on screen and makes horrible loud noise.

Like it crashes the radio and sometimes the radio restarts itself.

Went to 0514 to 0516 no difference.
Have tried factory reset radio etc.

Could it be cable? But I’m thinking would a cable issue cause the radio to crash, I’d understand just disconnecting
