Technical Notes & App-Connect
VW introduced MIB2 in late 2015 with full App-Connect functionality (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, MirrorLink). Depending on trim, three MIB2 variants were used:
- MIB2 Standard (MST2) — navigation via SD-card, requires two SD slots.
- MIB2 High (MHI2) — Discover Pro with maps stored internally.
- MIB2 Entry (MEN2) — basic infotainment without navigation or app activation.
Activation via SD card is a proven and DIY-friendly method — no dealership visit required. Many users successfully enable CarPlay/Android Auto using just the activation SD card.
Note: MST2 units do not support wireless CarPlay/Android Auto natively — a separate wireless dongle is required.
What Isn’t Compatible
- Head units with only 1 SD card slot (no navigation).
- Software versions ending in P01xxT or P05xxT.
- Some early 2015–2016 vehicles may require a USB port upgrade to support CarPlay.
