This is it!
The proper activator for Audi MHS2 systems made by delphi.
It a result of deep system analysis and some good reverse engineering.
The time has come and i have decided to share it!
Now is available free of charge for everyone!

Unlike the leaked version of the activator this one is tested and in use for quite long time now.
You will not loose ability to install custom POI's and for sure it will not cripple your legal function enabling codes.
I cannot guarantee that will work on every MMI out there, but i never had issues ever since i created it back in 2016.
Regardless of what some might say, update of the MMI is not mandatory. This is entirely up to you.
If your MMI is working properly and you have not noticed issues then you can continue using same version.
Believe me, i know these systems inside out.
As you will see bellow the supported versions list is quite long and will only get longer with time!
In case that you do decide to update then subscribe to this topic as i will update it to include software update info and files.

In the archive you will find a manual how to use it.
It is very simple process and you will only need one empty SD card size 8-32GB FAT32 formatted.
After activating the MMI you will be able to use latest navigation maps.

Here is list of supported versions, it was tested on many more but for now i decided to include the following.
If your software is not the support list then send the backup that the activator will make and i will add it. Always make sure you are using the latest version of the activator.
Almost any version out there!
If for some reason you cant get it to work following the manual then its likely that your unit was already patched.
In such case contact me and i will see what i can do about it.

Please have in mind that im doing this in my free time and that means that im not 24/7 available :)

The map of MHS2/MST2(soon to be released) is not installed, you copy map on SD and just insert in the unit. If coding is ok and fecs are shown as valid then map will work.
Simple as that :)


MAP 2022/2023 -> 11.64 GB file on MEGA
MAP 2023/2024 -> 12.23 GB file on MEGA

Warning : Original version is only one and can be found on the link bellow.
Any other version with other names on it or "autobackup" shit ... is not supported by me.
If you decide to use it then check the forum, there are more than 50 cases of broken units from that shit!
Activator -> 3.12 MB folder on MEGA
MHS2_ER_AU_K0129 -> 2.09 GB file on MEGA
MHS2_ER_AU_K0471 -> 2.53 GB file on MEGA
MHS2_ER_AU_P1242 -> 2.55 GB file on MEGA
MHS2_ER_AU_P2035 -> 2.54 GB file on MEGA

MHS2_US_AU_K0471 -> 1.02 GB file on MEGA
MHS2_US_AU_P1242 -> 1.01 GB file on MEGA
MHS2_US_AU_P2037 -> 1.02 GB file on MEGA
Software update instruction -> 720.9 KB file on MEGA
After using the activator unit will accept modified meta.
What you need to do is take the meta from 1242, remove any SupportedTrains or BlockedTrains and then replace MetafileChecksum with skipMetaChecksum.

For for example with the meta from 1242:
Remove those two lines
BlockedTrains = "MHS2_EU_AU_P01*,MHS2_EU_AU_K01*"
MetafileChecksum = "cd15b1487917b24e0ca50e0716bfa3d6dd7d710d"

And add these two:
EnableUserDefinedSWDLMode = "true"
skipMetaChecksum = "true"

Then make sure all components are select, the bare minimum is - MCM,78K0R,AP_ZR_HIGH1,TNRREF. Nice to select SpeechRes,SpeechAppRes.

Keep in mind that if something goes wrong you might not be able to fix it yourself and might need to send it to me.

Based on you statement on the first post Navi was not activated i think that you can resolve.
But for error during applying this patch, i will check before, on red menu, if previous applied the FEC for lifetime maps 025000EE (better than FF that generates some problems). If not, i will ask Congo about error.

If Navi isn’t actually activated, you need to code it in 5F, following instructions.

Can someone with maps help me? I downloaded the activator plus maps. I did everything as described in the activator package. everything went smoothly, a green message completed successfully, two new icons appeared - Map - Navigation. I downloaded maps from the link, formatted the fat32 card and threw all the contents of the package on the card, inserted the card in SD1, go to the red menu - Update and I do not see the memory cards. what am I doing wrong, how should I upload maps via SD card? excuse me, I'm a layman, I don't know much.

Thank you, you brightened me up. I thought that in 5F I will come with cards with maps through updates. I understand that the navigation was not activated from the beginning of the car leaving the salan, so you need to activate it by 5F? when buying a device, I do not know if it will be cheaper, better if someone does it to me and it hurts. I thought that everything can be done via an SD card. p.s. if I upload maps, navigation to read Navigations on the display between 7-inch clocks?

Your version seems to be newer than 129 but still way older than latest available.
Because of that the process of update is not that simple, there are cases where users fail with that update and then the MMI does not work properly or at all.
You can always try to update or find someone that is experienced enough with those kind of MMIs and remove the risk form you.

Regards.
