View source for MHI2 full conversion to EU

A step-by-step tutorial for Harman MHI2 region conversion between US/JP/KR/CN and European firmware.

== Prepare the unit, vehicle, and yourself ==

# Check your currently installed firmware. You you have a very old version, your unit might need firmware update first in order to have [[More Incredible Bash]] working. And you need it for this to work.
# Make sure that power is stable:
#* if working on bench, make sure that the 12V power supply can provide needed amperage
#* if working in vehicle, make sure that the car is connected to external power source or the engine is running. Vehicle equipped with keyless system should have the fob close the the keyless antenna during the procedure.
# Make sure that you know those:
#* [[REM]] - Red Engineering Menu
#* [[GEM]] - Green Engineering Menu
#* [[SWDL]] - SoftWare Download
#* [[FEC]] - Feature Enabling Code
#* [[SWaP]] - SoftWare as a Product

== Tools and software ==

* SD card (good quality, 32GB capacity, don't risk microSD with an adapter)
* latest [[More Incredible Bash]] → https://github.com/Mr-MIBonk/M.I.B._More-Incredible-Bash
* latest MHI2 patches → https://mibsolution.one/#/1/18
* latest EU firmware
* latest MHI2 EU maps → https://mib-helper.com/index.php?train=MHI2_ER_AU37X_P5089#maps
* diagnostic interface like [[OBDeleven]], [[VCDS]], [[VCP]]
* [[Gracenote]] EU update (optional)
* [[RSDB]] EU update (optional)
* [[PPOI]] with EU Speed Traps (optional)
* [[Boardbook]] update (optional for Audi and Porsche)

== Convert MHI2 unit to European Firmware ==

=== Install More Incredible Bash ===

# Insert SD card with More Incredible Bash
# <code>REM</code> → <code>Update</code> → SD card → install More Incredible Bash

=== Prepare unit for EU firmware ===
# [[GEM]] → m.i.b. → advanced_settings → eu_conversion → convert unit to EU. It will end with "reboot (..) and run conversion again"
# reboot the unit, and run the `convert unit to EU` again
# ...and again - you see "Now you can insert (...) and update".

=== Prepare update package for custom full SWLD ===
# <code>GEM</code> → <code>m.i.b.</code> → <code>advanced_settings</code> → <code>swdl_fw_updates</code> → <code>Enable user defined SWDL</code> → <code>ENABLED</code>
# <code>GEM</code> → <code>m.i.b.</code> → <code>advanced_settings</code> → <code>swdl_fw_updates</code> → <code>Ignore Region and Variant</code> → <code>ENABLED</code>
# exit GEM by going to <code>RADIO</code>. Don't reboot the unit.
# insert FAT32 SD with target firmware
# REM → Update → User defined → RightButton → Set all to <code>[Y]</code>
# if you have premium sound system with external audio amplifier (Bose, Dynaudio, Fender, Bang&Olufsen...), set the amplifier (<code>AMP16*APN / AMP_BAO_P3 / Bose6416*</code>) to <code>[N]</code>, because we don't want to update the amplifier. You could do it, but you will need to upload correct parameters to the amplifier afterwards.
# if you have Audi A3 8V (<code>AU37x</code>), set the <code>FC2H37xE</code> to <code>[N]</code>.<ref>https://www.drive2.ru/b/651027432949678987/</ref> This is the display mechanism firmware. If you flash it with the EU firmware version, the mechanism will stay permanently open.

=== Start the EU firmware update ===
# scroll down → Start update; wait...
# In "Device summary" scroll down → Resume
# wait for reboot, go to MMI settings and set your language

== Patch the unit ==
Now let's handle [[FEC]] / [[SWaP]] codes and Component Protection.

# <code>GEM</code> → <code>m.i.b.</code> → <code>patch_unit_aio</code> → <code>PATCH NOW</code>
# wait fot the patch to be applied
# after patch is done and unit is rebooted, go to [[REM]] and check if new license keys/FECs are installed and valid.

== Install options ==

=== EU Maps ===
# GEM → m.i.b. → navigation → check coding → SDS region → Europe → Save changes
# VCDS/OBD11/VPC → module: 5F → Basic Settings → Formatting Partitions of Internal Memory → Navigation Data Base → Go
# insert SD with MHI2 EU maps
# System Care → System Update → SD1 → Start Software Update; wait...

=== Speedtrap PPOIs ===
# insert SD with PPOIs
# System Care → System Update → SD1 → Start Software Update; wait...

=== Gracenote ===

# insert SD with Gracenote update
# System Care → System Update → SD1 → Start Software Update; wait...

=== Radiostation Database ===
==== VW / Seat / Skoda ====
# insert SD with RSDB update
# System Care → System Update → SD1 → Start Software Update; wait...

==== Audi ====
# download MH2P RSDB
# extract the package, find the <code>VW_STL_DB.sqlite</code> file
# copy it to More Incredible Bash SD card, to <code>/mod/RSDB/</code> directory
# green menu → m.i.b. → multimedia_system → radio → radiostation_db → Copy RSDB to unit; wait...

=== Boardbook ===

Audi and Porsche

# insert SD with Boardbook
# Settings → Boardbook → install; wait...

== Finishing Touches ==

=== Video In Motion ===
 TODOOO

=== Fix B201A SVM fault ===
# VCDS/OBD11/VPC → module: 5F → fix B201A fault with "i'm so XORy" calculator

or

# GEM → m.i.b. → SVM_fix
