Supported systems
This activation is only for MIB Scale systems (MIBS) made by Delphi installed in Audi vehicles. Only
systems with two SD card slots are supported. Coding tools might be needed in case of options
retrofit.
Audi smartphone interface requires that the car have full USB interface already installed.
If you have the Charge only one then Smartphone interface will not work. You need to change the
AMI interface and install the required wiring.

Pre-requisites
Empty SD card 8-32GB

Put the contents of the SD_ACT.zip on the SD card so it looks like this.
Activate
Start MMI and wait at least 5 min to fully boot, choose Radio as main screen.
Insert the prepared SD card in the MMI system and wait. Other SD card slot should be empty.
MMI will reboot two times, on the second reboot you should see this screen.
MMI display will then go black and restart. This process can take up to 5 min. Keep ignition on and
wait. MMI will then start up and activation codes will be installed.
3|CONGO
If you see similar screen
Add all files from the SD card to archive and send them to me. I will add support for your software
version and will send you the activation.
If you don’t see any of the screens but only MMI reboot then script run failed and nothing was
changed. Format SD, copy the files again and make sure you waited 5 min and you are on Radio and
try again.
4|CONGO
Emergency removal
In case something goes bad there is a option to remove the patch. To do that create empty file on
the SD card called “remove”. Put that SD card in the MMI and restart the MMI. On boot the patch
should be removed. On the next boot unit must start w/o patch.
CustomPOI
This activation will not break the possibility to install CustomPOI form normal and RED menu
5|CONGO
Coding – Enable navigation
To activate navigation option, do the following coding
Byte 3 – code according your region
Byte 24 – put check on Bit2 (Navigation System)
To activate smartphone interface, do the following coding and adaptation. This option requires that
the car have full USB interface already installed.
If you have the Charge only one then Smartphone interface will not work. You need to change the
AMI interface and install the required wiring.

Changelog
Whats new in version 2.4 – added check to help avoid potential failure where unit might not start
after the first reboot. Although there was only one case and it’s not verified that latest version of the
activator was used, I have decided to make minor change to help avoid such cases.
Whats new in version 2.3 - moved the patched files from persistence to ffs partition. Although i
never had such case there is a possibility that data corruption might happen in persistence partition.
If you are running 2.2 you are kind of safe as in case something goes wrong you an always remove it.
Process is documented in "Emergency removal" paragraph of the manual.
Whats new in version 2.2 - patch support for almost all firmware versions. Emergency removal
option.
