## What it is
A shell-based toolbox for patching and customizing Harman MIB2 (MHI2/MHI2Q) infotainment units in Volkswagen Group cars. It provides firmware patching, FEC generation, CarPlay/Android Auto fixes, and other modifications via an SD-card-based menu system.

## Use cases
- patch MIB2 infotainment firmware to enable CarPlay widescreen
- generate custom FEC codes for a VW head unit
- fix Android Auto button on a Porsche POG11 unit
- apply SVM fix to a Harman MHI2 unit
- customize my car's infotainment system firmware
- flash patched ifs-root images to MIB2 High

## When to choose
- you own a VW Group car with a Harman MHI2/MHI2Q or MHIG unit and want to unlock or patch features
- you need FEC generation or firmware patches for MIB2 High head units
- you want a free, community-maintained alternative to paid MIB tuning services

## When to avoid
- your head unit is not a Harman MIB1 High/MIB2 High (MHIG/MHI2/MHI2Q) unit
- you are unwilling to risk bricking your infotainment unit during flashing
- you need a supported, warranty-safe official solution
- you intend commercial use, which the license forbids
