snagitseven did an excellent job in summarizing all the options of the 3rd gen MMI (3G and 3G+) at https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-...rized-2840907/. As it turns out, nothing written there is applicable to the next generation MMI introduced in the MY 2017 Q7 and A4. So I thought it would be a good time to start this in the A4 B9 forum. I will update this posting as new information becomes available. If you see something that's incorrect or missing, please let me know and I'll update this post. In advance I would like to thank everybody for posting their findings, comments or feedback.

The 2017 A4 and Q7 are based on the MLBevo platform (Modularer Längsbaukasten / Modular Longitular Toolkit - 2nd generation). As such they also include the MIB2 (Modularer Infotainment Baukasten / Modular Infotainment Toolkit, version 2), the next generation of the MMI and successor of the MMI 3G+ and MIB (1st gen)

I will try to summarize the information posted here and elsewhere in this topic. Unless otherwise mentioned this will be applicable to the US version of the MIB only since there are major differences between the regions and sometimes even between neighboring countries.

The main differences introduced with the MIB2 MMI are the following:
- no more AMI cables, everything is USB based now
- new User Interface
- Audi Connect is now a subscription service which requires an active subscription/license to use Google Earth/Search, Traffic, etc.
- In-car WiFi hotspot and Audi Connect are no longer using the same data plan
- Apple Carplay and Android Auto is standard in the US at any trim level

Reset MMI:
Press NAV/MAP and RADIO, then push MMI button

Engineering Mode:
Press and hold NAV/MAP and MEDIA, to exit restart the MMI

At what level or option is apple car play offered?

DirkM

Apple Car Play and Android Auto are standard in the US on all trim levels.

Martin73

Is it true that you have to connect your phone via bluetooth in the car to utilize Apple Car Play?

Nullman

I know you have to plug the phone into the USB port in the center console. Apple Car Play does not work wirelessly, at least not yet.

drbooya

Correct. The data transfer speeds are not fast enough to run CarPlay over Bluetooth.

waninae39

does that mean that 2017 models have a MMI V4
and that 2016 and some older at MMI V3

DirkM

Correct, the 2016 Audi A4 B8.5 has the MMI 3G+ while the 2017 A4 B9 has the MIB2 MMI (4th generation, 2nd revision)

DirkM

I'm going to add MIB2 software version to this topic to track what has changed in the various versions.

My A4 B9 was build on 02/16 and has software version 0443 installed.

Hopefully there will be some owners interested in this and post their software version as they get their new car in the future.

BiscuitEmbryo

I'll look at mine tomorrow and post what I have.
