.: MMI 3G Emergency Update

Purpose:The purpose of this document is to dump and share my and the original Authors knowledge that has been gained by experimenting and spending countless hours and many nights trying to reverse engineer my MMI units.

Scope:This page will cover the procedure for performing an Emergency Update on the MMI system. It assumes you already have access to the Green Menu. If you not then please refer to the other articles in this section.

Objective: This page is intended to provide the AudiEnthusiasts a general guide on how to perform an Emergency Firmware update if required.

Cost: This information is provided for free, however, donations to the original author (Keldo at Keldo . com) or this site as a token of appreciation is not a bad idea.

**Please note these instructions are part of a process with a region change. Step 4 may not apply to all scenarios where an emergency update is required. Make sure you have valid firmware before starting the update.

Step	Instructions
1.	Switch on the MMI 3G.
2.	Enter the green menu: Press Setup and CAR simultaneously (plus systems use CAR and MENU) hold both buttons down until the display changes to the screen shown in step 3. If it doesn't change after approx 5-10 seconds ensure you have enabled the menu and retry.
