Known issues

  • Well, it doesn't work yet!

TODO

  • Preatty much everything right now...
  • VW Composition Media MIB2 - one could use radiostation logo DB update vector.
  • Dumping interesing files to SD card
  • Filesystem root password hash extraction
  • Replacing system UI elements
  • Replacing system SFX

How it works

  1. Infotainment unit recognizes content of the SD card as Personal-POI update.
  2. ./metainfo2.txt file contains list of Variants that the update applyies to and paths for files specific for each variant (for example ./PersonalPOI/MIB2TSD).
  3. Next ./PersonalPOI/MIB2DE/metainfo2.txt file is processed. Again, it contains list of variants but also files & directories to copy, destination paths, checksums, etc. Altering destination path will force custom GEM .esd file to be copied to the infotainment file system.
  4. mib2std-toolbox.esd file is an additional green engeneering menu screen which gives you access to running custom scripts.
