Reading trough the M.I.B instructions I am getting a bit conflicting info, can installation begin just by inserting the SC Card with a properly renamed file at the root, or do I have to go into the Red Eng menu to start the update. If so, can someone tell me what the key combo is on an '17 Macan Turbo with a MHI2_US_POG11_P3300 version?

 

Should be car + tuner, here's some reading for you

This is so awesome! I used it today on my '17 Turbo PP. Worked like a charm. I can't believe people are charging upwards of $2,000 to install a unit that does the same thing. I started it once and had to cancel and re-start it later. I had to hold TUNER + CAR to get it to start up again once I loaded up the SD Card.

 

Did you just leave the car running while installing so as to have power?

 

Anyone willing to perform this service in the chicagoland area or email me rguzman224@gmail.com to help update my 3.1 PCM and unlock AA on my 2018 Macan Thanks

 

Just installed M.I.B All-In-One with the firmware update which enabled Android Auto and then updated the maps to the latest version v373 (2024/2025) on a 2018 S. Very easy.
The map update wouldn't work before installing MIB (I've hardware v56).

I didn't leave the car running - just ignition on. I put it on a slow trickle charger but I think it'd have been fine without it.

 

How did you do the map update? Is there a download somewhere?

 

Hey All, First post after buying our first Pcar - a 2017 Macan Turbo.
Tried to update SW / enable AA on it today, and i cant say it went well.

I took screenshots of most of the process, most importantly, where i started and where i ended.
Would love to get a point in the right direction.

The car started with the following SW versions -

And finished with These:

Following the completion of the process i can see the MIB options and can see how "Android Auto" is checked as Installed, but there is no icon no where, and i cant get it to work with my phone, not wired and not wireless.

My questions -
Any pointers for where did i go wrong?
Is AA is wireless or a Wired option?
if its Wired only, can you point me to which USB post i need to connect? the one between the front seat? the rear one? is there another USB port hiding somewhere?


Thanks in advance

Agree with @wobbletop, it seems you just updated the NAV maps.

Did you select the right files for your PCM Serial Number? Then you would need to prepare the SD card per instructions. Insert it and let it do its thing… then enter green menu and activate AA. Please confirm you did this…

 

I don't see any of the "green" screen process. You need to prepare the MIB SD card and then enter the "green" menu via the key combination.

Which guide did you use?

 

Found the culprit - and it was pretty stupid on my end, i was using a bad USB cable.
Changed cable - and voila, it all works.

Even better, ordered one of these Motorola AA adapters, so no don't even need a cable.

 

The cables aren't typically "bad" but are charge only.

It's frustrating that there is not some marking on USB cables when they do not have the proper data lines.

I don't mind the cable as the Macan does not have a wireless charge pad (aka phone heater).

 

The download link for the patch is no longer valid, does anyone have it?

 

2017, PCM 4 Macan Turbo.

I enabled Android-Auto using MIB update.

Issue is that when i conected my phone, i didnt want Android-Auto to work, so whenever i go the screen prompt - i just clicked "USB" or "BT"
thing is that at a certain point i also marked the "Dont ask again" that is on that prompt, and since then - i dont have Android Auto anymore.

Any idea how to fix this? i want to have this question back on again.

Thanks

 

Hi Everyone.

Great topic. I am trying to do the same, but somehow I am stuck in downloading the "patches" the site give me errors...
Any sugestions?

 

mibsolution.one
Loggin guest
Passowrd guest

Then search for Patch

 

has anyone done this on a MY2020 macan or later MY?
version software 2656
hardware version H056

 

I'm also stuck on this. I was following a youtube video and it was going fine until he said to go into the green screen and click the update button; I didn't have an update button and after fiddling with the prompts for a while, I also got the message there was a missing patch.

copy folder MHI2_US_POG11_K3300_MU0809_PATCH to SD card

I confirmed this matches my software version. Has anyone solved this?

 

I have the same software version and the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

 

No sir, but I have a theory. I read somewhere that in the software code, P means factory delivered and K means dealer adapted, or something. My Macan has apple carplay so it would seem that the software was changed from MHI2_US_POG11_C3300 to MHI2_US_POG11_K3300. Hence the reason there is a patch for the "C3300" and not the "K3300" version. I think if there is a way for us to roll the update back to C3300, we could then patch it using the MIB utility and then essentially re-enable both carplay and AA via the patch update.

But this is just a theory.

 

I was told to rename the file by changing the to a k because they are the same patch anyway.

 

Well, I renamed the folder but it didn't accept it.

 

I have a patch that was sent to me by the MIB creators but it won't let me attach a .rar file. If you can get me your details, I'll send you the file

 

UPDATE! I solved it. I recopied the folder after renaming it the first time and the folder was emtpy - not sure how that happened. I copied the contents again after renaming the folder K3300 and it worked!

 

That's great. I also added the Motorola MA1 wireless adapter and it works too.

 

Hello,

Would someone be kind enough to help me activate Android Auto on my Porsche Macan S (2016) please?

Version: MHI2_ER_POG11_K3299 0807

Here is my information:

I don't know how to patch, I don't really know what to do, nor which file in concrete to take without causing risks.

If someone with experience could guide me, that would be great or tell me exactly which patch/file I should take please?

What is the most compatible and recommended SD card and what size do you recommend in my case ?

P.S: I also took a network adapter "Ugreen CR110 (USB to RJ45)" if necessary.

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

 

You probably be better off paying Sima for his services. The upgrade should be easy and is well explained in the Wiki. But if you are concerned and don’t know how to proceed, that would be my recommendation.

You can PM him here in MF at simaservis1108.

 

@Santirx Big thanks for your info here. I was able to get the my PCM 4.0 updated with CarPlay and Android Auto. Even got a little USB device to make connect with wireless BT. Also, I was able to bring the Nav map update to 2024/2025.

 

Hi all,

This looks really interesting, however does anyone know if Porsche Warranty will throw up a fuss?

Thanks

 

i own a macan 2017 with a PCM 4.0 on it and i had installed a retrofit kit to implement android auto. all was good until i brought the car to the porsche assistance and the porsche guys, even if i didn't ask, installed an upgraded software which removed the connectivity features needed to run android auto.
can someone send me the link to the MIB kit for the update and if available a youtube guide for the installation ?

Hi and thanks for the add. I'm trying to help a friend with her 2018 Macan w/Bose sound system. Everything is original as far as I know. She was able to send me a pic of this screen. Question is what info do I need and how do I get to it to perform an update? In a perfect world she would end up with an updated GPS, Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Hello all, i cannot download the patches, can someone help me ? The site seems to be down.

found a solution, but when i connect my iphone 15 pro max i have no carplay, neither with the 14 pro and 13 pro max of wife

 

Have a 2018 S. Did the MIB upgrade to try and get Android Auto working. Everything seemed to update correctly. When I plug my phone in (Pixel 8 Pro), it shows it's connected and asks if I want to use Android Auto (which I reply yes). But nothing happens. It's like the phone isn't connected and can't get any Android Auto functions working.

Went into the service menu and enabled it--wasn't getting it to ask if I wanted to use it before I enabled it--so I think I've done everything I need to do. But just not working.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

 

Checking to see if anyone has suggestions. I've tried different cables as well. Head unit says it's connecting and I tell it to use Android Auto but nothing happens. It just ignores that I connected the phone.
