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?

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.

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

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?

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…

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).

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?

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.
