If you install unofficial firmwares from unknown sources the answer is Yes. But if you buy from us the answer is no. Because we also register the update to dealer network. Firmware updates we provide are official updates and installing them has no effect to your warranty.

For VW MIB2 Press and hold menu button. Select "software update". You will see a screen below:

Unfortunately there is not any officially published changelog by manufacturers but according to our previous experience we can say that it has bug fixes, support for new bluetooth channels which comes with new smart phones, better voice command recognition, faster navigation route calculation, translate error fixes, faster smartphone connection for carplay/android auto and theme bug fixes. You can experience result when you use it.

We save firmware update process to dealer network by your VIN to keep your warranty valid. Also the firmwares are dedicated to VIN number to keep all functions and setting same after the update. It is valid only for that VIN. So we need your VIN to prepare firmware for your infotainment system.

Yes you can do it on yourself. It is easy process.

• A computer to download and extract files into SD card or USB flash memory.
• Enough charged car battery. (Installation takes 20-40 minutes depending on your SD card's or USB flash memory's read speed)
• Manufacturer does not recommend running engine during update process but if it is certain that your car's battery will get empty, you may run engine during update process. (less risky)
• Winrar Software: https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Installation:

• Download firmware and extract it to desktop of your computer using winrar app.
• Copy all contents in that folder into SD card's or USB flash memory's root folder.
  If it is MIB2, metainfo2.txt and other folders must be in root directory, not in a folder or archive. If it is MIB3 data and meta folders must be in root directory)
• Insert SD card into infotainment system's SD1 slot or USB flash memory to car's USB port. (Do not use "only charge" ports)
• For MIB2 devices, press and hold menu button. Select system update.
  For Audi MIB3 tap and hold top right corner of screen with two fingers.
