What You Need to Know About Audi’s 2025 MIB2 Map Update

Audi’s V03.959.821.BB 393 ROW 2025 update enhances the navigation experience for MIB2 systems in regions outside Europe and North America. It’s essential to verify your vehicle’s MMI (Multimedia Interface) version, as this map update only supports MIB2 systems with the MIH2 or MHI2Q firmware. If you’re unsure about your MMI version, consult the user manual or reach out to Audi support to confirm compatibility.

The latest map version also introduces the P393_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT_Q1.24 DevVersion, which is essential for ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with MIB2-equipped Audis.

Compatibility Requirements: FEC Code 0230038

To successfully run the ROW 2025 map update, your MIB2 system must have the FEC (Feature Enablement Code) 0230038. Without this code, the update cannot function properly on your Audi’s system. If you attempt to install the map update without the FEC code, the map functionality may remain inaccessible.

If you’re missing the FEC code, there is a solution available through a specialized patch. This patch can add a lifetime map license for offline installation, ensuring your Audi’s navigation system stays updated without requiring additional updates each year.

How to Install the 2025 ROW Map Update

1. Verify Compatibility: First, confirm your Audi’s MMI version. You need an MIB2 system with either the MIH2 or MHI2Q firmware to proceed with this update.
2. Obtain the FEC Code: Ensure you have the necessary FEC code (0230038) for the ROW 2025 maps. If your system lacks this code, the map update won’t work, and you’ll need to install the lifetime map license patch.
3. Download the Map Update: You can download the 2025 ROW map files directly from our platform here. Make sure you have adequate storage on your USB drive for a smooth transfer.
4. Install the Update: With the map files on your USB drive, follow the instructions provided in THIS manual to complete the installation.
5. Activate the Patch (if needed): If you purchased the patch for lifetime access, ensure you include a note specifying you need the FEC code for the Rest of World area at checkout. This helps ensure proper activation of the map update and other added functionalities.

Additional Functionalities: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

In addition to the lifetime map license, the patch provides compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on MIB2-equipped Audis. This means you can integrate your smartphone for navigation, music, and communication directly from your vehicle’s display, enhancing both convenience and safety.

These features can be enabled through the same patch used for the map update, creating a seamless experience that allows you to stay connected on the road.

How to Add the Patch for Enhanced Functionality

If you decide to purchase the patch, follow these steps to ensure it works correctly with your 2025 ROW map update:

1. Visit the Authorized Purchase Page: Access the patch details through our website.

3. Complete Installation and Activation: After purchasing, follow the detailed instructions to apply the patch. Once completed, you’ll gain access to the ROW 2025 map update, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, with a lifetime license for map updates.
