Hello

(pardon my English)

I asked the same question several months (years?) ago.
question: can my MIB2 play videos, answer no!
can my MIB2 do mirrorlink , answer no !

I am very surprised to read exactly the opposite in a discussion post in this forum, I can no longer find the post, a person asks the same question for a MIB2 and gets two answers, yes ! and yes !??? something has changed since then? updates? something else ?

thank you for your help.

My MIB2:

log. MST2_EU_SE_ZR_P0369T

It can play video but only SD (standard definition... whatever the spec is in the manual) as I recall. It's the spec you find in the infotainment part of the manual. Some people watch videos whilst waiting to pick up the kids from school.

Video in motion, VIM is the illegal one in the UK. Can be enabled via coding to play videos illegally whilst moving.

Now mirror link. Think that's messing about with Android to get it out via Android Auto. Never interested me. It's hacking AA rather than hacking the unit. Hacking Android apps. You'll find that on a Google. Hacked Android apps anyhow.

Can I ask how this is supposed to work with coding? I only know it with VCP and the VIM Manager or OBD11 because both can write to the EPROM memory.
I'm sure VCDS does it since everything VCDS does what Obdeleven does. I just don't encourage it.

I see it's probably meet someone in a car park if you haven't got obdeleven or vim manager etc 🤣

I've been looking for several weeks for a tutorial or video explaining how to view youtube (or video) on my mib2 without success!

but all I've managed to learn is the doubt about my equipment, video playback in SD ?... (I really hope Tell is right)

I continue to search, if someone has information, thank you in advance

These are the mib2 infotainment pages on media and the spec is as below. So it's not full HD. As I said people do load video onto the SD card to watch:

and .mkv) format with maximum resolution of 352x288
pixel.
– ISO MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4v, .avi, .mov, .3gp and .mkv) for-
mat.
– MPEG-4 ASP DivX 4, 5 and 6 (.avi, .divx and .mkv) for-
mat.
– MPEG-4 Xvid (.avi and .mkv) format.
– MPEG-4 H.264 format: (.mp4, .m4v, .mov, .
3gp, .avi, .m2ts, .mkv, .flv, .f4v and .webm).

3gp and .avi) format.
– MJPEG (.avi, .mov, .mp4 and .m4v) format.

– Playlists in the formats M3U, PLS, ASX and WPL.
– Playlists must not exceed 20 kB or more than 1000 entries.
– Filenames and paths that do not exceed 256 characters.
– For DVD, a maximum of 1000 files per storage device and directory.
– For memory cards, a maximum of 4000 files and a maximum of 1000 files per directory.

2 minutes of Google search to download the manual. 1 minute for the solution

I seem to recall I tried it in the car once it wasn't brilliant. Image, my Ateca has got the older Tiguan type of screen. I believe they might be clearer on newer units if they ever got fitted but still it's not HD and frigging with the file to get it in that resolution. I'd just watch something on my phablet which is what I do now 😉.

I have over 600 credits. I have also tested some of them on my vehicle. But everything that does not concern my vehicle is coded manually

Hello

after hours of testing, I've come to the conclusion that this MIB2 can't read video in any format!
I followed this tutorial step by step, without success!


I'm left with two solutions, either change the multimedia, I'm looking at a 9.2” for now, but I'm not sure it's compatible with my ateca.
because the measurements seem different:


or an adapter, less expensive
youtube netflix playback ok, but may be unable to play a te SD video? (no ? )


thank you for your feedback

That video at the top is for a mib2 high that's the Discovery Pro / Columbus. I'd be careful about spending a lot of money.

Bonjour
Je suis de retour dans l'actualité, en discussion sur l'achat d'un autoradio android avec plus d'options et plus moderne que mon autoradio actuel, en discussion sur aliexpress depuis des jours avec plusieurs vendeurs différents.
impossible d'obtenir des réponses claires et précises.....

ma caméra arrière fonctionnera toujours ?
mon lecteur de CDROM et de SD dans la boîte à gants fonctionnera après
avec votre matériel ?
mon cadre de support actuel pour mon autoradio, comme votre autoradio est un 9', est-ce qu'il conviendra ?
A toutes ces questions, tous les vendeurs répondent,,,,,
sans aucun détail ni explication,
réponds, << oui, oui, tu achètes, du bon matériel >>

Je leur ai envoyé toutes les photos pour qu'ils comprennent, mais ça n'a servi à rien !
c'est horrible ! soit ils ne comprennent pas les questions, soit ils veulent juste vendre
sachant qu'il y aura des problèmes !


Personne n'a acheté aux chinois ici ?

There are threads from time to time look on the Leon 3 side. A few years back. Whether anyone took the plunge pass. Vaguely remember they did. Sellers come and go thou.

BTW Mirrorlink is suppose to be, being phased out not that I follow the subject. So you won't find it on newer phones, but Android Auto would be fine.

Hello
I couldn't find a topic on the leon 3.

i think i've found a seller in europe where customs tax worries don't exist! and prices “still” correct.
He answered a lot of my questions (I'm thinking of buying from his store).
I know that the cruise control will continue to work but that I'm losing the CD player and its two SD card readers,
but the tire pressure (low pressure alert) I lose or I keep with the new android auto?
thanks

hi
order made today!
in discussion for a week with the seller
very complicated to understand each other more the time lag does not fix things!
I have the price time to choose the seller and car radio (price/ performance)
I hope that I have been understood and not mistaken!
I would make a return after installation and test .
