VW MFD2 DVD unlock

**mad_mark** · 5th April, 2010, 08:30 PM

found it on another forum but i don't have the mfd2dvd myself so i didn't test it.

NOTE:
this firmware upgrade is designed for EUROPEAN MFD2 DVD units.

how to:
1. burn both images at LOW SPEED (2x-4x)
2. turn ignition on and make sure there are no power supply interruptions (you can start the engine to have good current)
3. press NAV button on your unit and put VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso into MFD drive it will start to update the firmware - THIS MAY TAKE UP TO 30-40 MINUTES
4. after update done press NAV again and put the UNLOCK CD. unlocking takes just a few seconds the screen will show progress bar in a loop but once it completes single cycle it is safe to remove the disk from unit.

after that you should be ready to use self burned DVD+R DL disks however you still need to burn them on GOOD QUALITY DISKS AND AT LOW SPEEDS (2x). this has been tested with the VW EUROPE v7 MAP and reported to work ok (still, i didn't test it myself).

TEST THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

thanks to billboard and Hilleri for helping with unlock procedure

can anyone confirm it works?

**digitalt_kaos** · 8th April, 2010, 07:53 PM

just burned both files to disks, will try to update my mfd2 as soon as I find the time for it, probably this weekend

**digitalt_kaos** · 9th April, 2010, 10:35 AM

did the firmware update to my MFD2 DVD last night, worked fine. Put in the Cd with the new SW, the machine showed the current SW and the one on the disk and asked for confirmation to update. Selected yes, and the process took ca 30 minutes. Then tried the other file/disk, the one that is supposed to take away the copy protection. Could not get any proper response from the MFD2 using that disk, and the backed up navi DVD did not work. Need to continue to investigate, perhaps someone here can give some tips.

digitalt_kaos, when you put the unlock into DVD slot was there any response? did the screen blink for a moment?

**uros** · 9th April, 2010, 05:12 PM

Like digitalt_kaos, me also successfully updated firmware and everything works fine. But the second CD didn't work. MFD2 sed "Wrong DVD". but I inserted burned CD.

Any idea?

You should try to burn the unlock image to an DVD disc, from what i have read.

1) Burn the image from the folder Firmware> VW_MFD2_EU_Firmware-> VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso to a CD (not DVD!)
2) Burn the image "Unlock DVD MFD2" on CD (not DVD!)
3) Pressing the NAV button on the navigation system and sets the CD with the VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso image, this process
may take up to an hour!
4) Set the CD with the image of "Unlock DVD MFD2"
5) Now you can insert your burned their cards DVD and it should be recognized!
