The Modularer Infotainment-Baukasten (MIB) system, developed by Technisat/Preh, is used across both PQ and MQB platform vehicles in the Volkswagen Group. While the PQ variant of the MIB2 STD system shares much of the same hardware and software architecture as its MQB counterpart, including the HMI framework, it lacks access to many advanced features enabled via the CAN bus.
This project aims to unlock that hidden potential by reverse-engineering the system’s internals, enabling new functionality and fixing known issues.
Project Objectives
- Unlock MQB menus and advanced features on PQ platform MIB2 units
- Interface with the DSI (Device Service Interface) to dynamically update the HMI state from external tools
- Patch known PQ firmware bugs, including date/time sync and screen brightness issues with older BCMs
- Create a modular framework for future feature expansion, diagnostics, and personalisation
