The MIB2 High is Volkswagen Audi Group's upgraded infotainment unit, typically found in high spec models from 2016 onwards. It supports features like navigation, CarPlay/Android Auto, enhanced media playback, and a faster, more responsive user interface. It is the core component that unlocks advanced infotainment functionality across the vehicle.

Unlike typical second-hand MIB2 units, ours has been fully unlocked and optimised to offer the best experience out of the box. It comes configured to work seamlessly in any Audi A3 8V without triggering component protection or requiring dealer activation. It also includes the latest updates and quality-of-life enhancements you won't find in standard or dealer supplied units.

Key features:

• Pre-unlocked and free from component protection
• Latest firmware installed
• 2025 navigation map database
• Updated Gracenote music database (album art & metadata)
• Video in motion enabled
• Apple CarPlay + Android Auto activated
• Custom hand-drawn UK POIs including speed camera alerts

To make installation as smooth as possible, we offer a pre-coding service that configures your MIB2 unit to match your vehicle's specific setup. This means the unit will arrive pre-programmed and ready to work with your car, plug and play. To ensure this process is accurate, we'll request a few key details about your vehicle after your order is placed. The precision of the pre-coding will depend on the accuracy of the information you provide, so we recommend checking your details carefully before submitting. Once we have the necessary info, we'll handle the rest.

If you'd prefer not to rely on pre-coding, we also offer an in-person installation service. By bringing your vehicle to us, we can fit the unit directly and carry out all necessary coding on the spot. This allows us to read your car's exact configuration using diagnostic tools and apply the correct settings with complete accuracy. It's especially useful if you're unsure about your current system.

If you're purchasing this unit as part of a MIB2 retrofit on your Audi A3 8V, here are answers to the most common questions we receive:

• Q: Will I need to change my screen?
• A: Yes, if you currently have the smaller 5.8" screen. No, if you have the larger 7" screen.

• Q: Do I need to change my control panel?
• A: Only if you plan to primarily use Android Auto. It requires directional input via the centre joystick, which earlier control panels lack.

• Q: I have the Bang & Olufsen sound system, do I need to upgrade the amplifier?
• A: No, your existing Gen1 amplifier will still work perfectly with the MIB2 High unit.

• Q: I have an AMI port under the armrest, do I need to switch to USB?
• A: Yes, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a USB connection. You'll also need to change the armrest storage box, as the dual USB hub does not fit the original AMI housing.

This listing is for the MIB2 High unit only. If you're planning a full retrofit and also need the supporting hardware, such as the screen, control panel, dual USB ports, storage compartment, wireless charger, and wiring harness, we offer a complete kit as well.
