Does anyone know of a way to update the telephone software/drivers as still have no handsfree connection following firmware update? Can I try and install firmware again selecting only telephone/bluetooth parts to update using user defined mode?
 
I'm having an issue after activator,
Tried in different modes
In my A4 B9, it always says "Navigation data are not valid" for every map listed on this topic ...
I tried so many times to slow format SD card in FAT32, tried different maps, also tried to put original 2016 files in and perfectly works, with data from this website I get "Navigation data are not valid"
I have all the FEC of maps legal.
I really don't understand what is wrong with this.

Yo guys finally solved this one, had issues cause the download was done with a Mac, and I did use the OS stock unzipper.
If you have my same problem, please, don't use a Mac for this one
 
Today, I tried to update the unit of an Audi Q2 with firmware MHS2_ER_AU_P2035.
The activation script didn't work first but then I formatted the SD card to ex-fat instead of Fat32 and then the update was successfull.
I see code 025000f0 in the red menu.

But inserting the SD card with the maps on it gave the message the map data were invalid. The progression bar was visible but the message appeared after 11% progress.
I used a 64GB SDXC card and formatted it with FAT32 for which you need specific software. Not possible by default in Windows.
Perhaps I should have used a 32GB card which you can format with FAT32 by default on Windows. Which I don't have right now.

Anyone experience with 64GB cards ?

I have an 8GB sdcard. Can I delete some maps (I don't intend to travel to Russia :) ) to get below the 8GB ?

Thx.
 
  • kept my current Firmware (MHS2_ER_AU_P0470 MU:0191)
  • bought a SD Card (SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC 64GB)
  • formatted the SD Card to Fat32
  • copied the Activator v2.5 (dlphi.sh) to SD Card
  • removed all SD Cards from my car
  • turned the engine on
  • switched to Radio and waited 5mins
  • put the SD Card with the Activator into the first SD Slot and waited another 5mins for the activator doing its magic
  • copied the 2023 map to SD Card (Windows PC) and everything works

Thank you congo! You're a real hero. And thanks to the community for providing feedback and assistance.
Follow the well written instruction and you'll be fine.
How did you format the 64GB sd card ?
I have also one and formatted to FAT32 with guiformat but no luck in updating to the 2024 maps.
Activator worked but only on an ex-FAT formatted card.

Took some time to read all posts and did the following :
  • Unzipped the downloaded map with 7z instead of Winrar (which I use by default).
  • Formatted the same 64GB sdxc card again to FAT32 using Paragon Hard Disk Manager and 16bit allocation size.
    Guiformat which I used the first time left a 16MB unallocated while Paragon used all the space.
Not sure which one did the trick but result.

Thanks to @congo for the all work on the activator.

Thank you for a fast response but that wasnt the issue, I was trying a lot of things but in the end problem was in SD card more correctly in my sd cart port on laptop which was never used and it damaged both cards, I never seen for the sd card when gets damaged still works but not as it should I always thought they just die(one extreme gold 256gb from my Sony camera was damaged in this process and audis original one..) I would damage the third one if I didnt use other laptop because mine was full with storage.. Laptop was brothers which he rarley use, but hey thanks anyways and sorry for wasting time.. Cheers guys, Im very grateful for people like you!
 
@congo ... Thank you very much for your good work, I admire your intelligence and ability to achieve this. It is something incredible.
Following the steps you have provided, I have been able to get the current 2024 maps on my Audi Q2 of 2019 manufacture.
MMI version: MHS2_ER_AU_P2035
MU-Software: 0235
I would like to buy you a coffee ;-), please tell me how I can do it.
Best regards!
 
Dear @congo and @alex-07 I need you help and experience. I have firmware MHS2_US_AU_KT1240. Activate maps using activator made by congo. Made everything in 5F but maps stuck on 11% I think that I need update firmware which should I use
MHS2_US_AU_K0471 or MHS2_US_AU_P1242 or MHS2_US_AU_P2037?
@alex-07 Could you help with my problem. I had actived maps with success but when I open maps or navigation I see screen

I'm using PC the same SD card that I use to activator MHS2 Audi and everything was ok. File in attachment. Navigation file V03959803PR.zip extract in empty sd card.
 
First of all I would like to thank @congo for this awesome tool and @alex-07 for being patient and helping everyone 🤝
I was able to insert the codes in my A4 2016, unit MHS2_EU_AU_P0120, Mu Software 0113, with the latest activator and the latest maps from 2024 work without problems.
And all of that works on Micro Sd 32GB card 😁
But I have one problem with playing music over bluetooth from my phone, the music plays fine apart from every 15-20 seconds it stutters.
And I don't know if it's the problem from before or because of activator, I bought this car a few days ago...
Oh, one more thing if it's important, I lost the sound on the radio after activation. Later I tried to play music from the phone, it was ok and then the sound came back on the radio 👍🏻
My question is: Is it smart to update my unit with the latest software? Will that solve the problem? Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thank you all in advance 🙏🏻
