View Full Version : 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

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.

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!

Yes, I made firmware update and unlock successfull!
But my device still not reading burned navigation maps. As I konw the problem is that only few burners can burn correct navigation maps and I don't have the burner from the list:

Hi,
unlock didn't work here either. I burned sw30 update to verbatim cd-r (8x) and mfd2 dvd unlock to verbatim cd-r (8x) too. Same type cd-r's but only update worked.
For some reason, unlock doesn't do anything, no flashing screens, no instalallation bars, nothing. Now I'm wondering could it be that unlock cd-r has been burned too fast (8x). It is possible that it has to be burned with 1x-4x speed but it's weird that software update works no matter how fast cd-r is burned.
Now I'm heading to shop. I'm going to buy some slow cd-r's and couple ouble layer dvd's for the V7 navi. Let's keep this topic active!!

maybe someone have update firmware to mfd2 but CD (mfd2 dx) i'm looking for it
Hilleri
13th April, 2010, 07:19 AM
I got it working.
1. Burn the VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso to a CD (max burnspeed 8x, Verbatim CD-R)
2. Burn the image "Unlock DVD MFD2" on CD (max burnspeed 4x, Verbatim CD-R)
3. Pressing the NAV button on the navigation system and insert CD with the VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso image, this process may take up to an hour!
4. Push NAVI-button in MFD2 and insert the CD with the image of "Unlock DVD MFD2". Two bars keep flashing (installing..). It's a endless loop, so when the installation bars have once flashed in MFD2 after that it's safe to eject CD.
5. Burn the V7.iso to a DVD (max. burnspeed 2.4X, Verbatim DVD+R DL)

PL menu for MFD2 DX is not the unlock. I do not have unlock for DX units, as far as i know the DX does not need unlock, they should read copied CD's without any modification. yet, i'm not 100% sure of that, i don't own one, my knowledge is based on what i read on the internet.

I know that DX navigation system for VW doesn't need unlock, my question was, is that file maybe unlock for MFD2 CD based nav. system, but ok , now is clear what's that file :)
it's just file to change menu language if i understand you good :) ?

like i said before, i had a chance to try this on touran mfd2 dvd and... i messed it up. the battery on car was new so me and my friend (owner) turn the ignition on put the first CD in and left the car alone. after about 25minutes we stepped in to see the progress and we saw an error saying 'flash rom invalid or empty...' and the screen was shifted to the side a bit. when i took out the cd and put it back in it start to loads again the SH-Graphic System and at one point it shows up the same error. The unit is completely down at the moment, no radio or CD playback available just showing the error all the time. from what i've googled so far there are two possibilities:
A - the power voltage dropped at some point
B - the CD was burn with errors or too fast
or both at the same time. now my plan is to burn the same image with different software at very slow speeds and try again. i will have a chance to fix that unit on the 8-9 may weekend... untill that time my friend will have to drive his car in silence :(

Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum and tried to follow the procedure for updating my MFD2 DVD to firmware SW30.
I certainly did something wrong because the disk is not recognized and the upgrade procedure will not start.
I burned the folder "dnl" found in the zip file VWMFD2DVDEU0030 following the ?billboard? instructions.

It is posibile to be in close connections with burner (working dvd was write on NEC).

Yes unlock seems to work fine, yellow progress bars very quickly in a endless loop.
Switching on and off the MFD does not matter.
I have been reading a german forum, seems al lot of users have good results with a LG burner...
I tried a Lite-on, samsung and a sony with no succes. Al runs on low speed (2.4x) and a verbatin dvd+r dl with different burning tools (Nero, Alcohol, CloneCD and ImgBurn).

Thanks to all of you and especially the guy who started it all. I managed to burn successfully the v7 map with clonecd 2.4x on a verbatim dvd+dl. However I would like to ask if anyone knows whether maps could be modified to be used with the MFD2. More specifically I need a map of Bulgaria to be used with the MFD2. This information will probably also be interesting to people from serbia, croatia, romania and so on who own the MFD2 navigation but do not benefit from using the comlete map services in their countires. Thank you in advance!

ok, this weekend i managed to recover my friend's MFD2 from error (flash rom invalid or empty) by burning the upgrade CD once again in Alcohol. after that the unlock CD, which showed progress bar in a loop. Then i tried the DVD-DL but it didn't work. i think i have problem with the burner, the only one that i have is TSST crop which obviously is not the one i should use. now i'm looking for someone who has the listed DVD burner and then will try again.

It worked for me also (posted reply already on 23th of april). But now I want to add a POI to the DVD. I want to have the speedcams burned into it! Ik is very useful, but I can not find any info on that!
For starters: I can not find the poi's that are already in it. What files are they in? What is the extention? If we know that then the next question is where to get the speedcams in that extention. After that we need some graphics I think, after that .......
Please help!
The only thing I find on the net is that it is impossible, but nothing is impossible!

Maybe this is a cause...if you can't upgrade to sw30, the unlock cd don't unlock your MFD.
Try to burn with 2x speed and chose one of good result burners...for example Nec 3540 was ok for me.

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!!!

I burned an iso on a duallayer-disc, but it won't read.
What should i do, to make it work ?
Should i burn the files each on a dvd, or on a cd ?
And should i just copy the iso-file to a cd, and the burn ? Or burn image with nero, so that there are seperate files on the cd ?
Will the original dvd still work after this ?

I upgraded from Europe V6 to Europe V7 with the software in the first post of this thread.
In V6 and V7 the navigation-lady could talk to me, but I really wanted the upgrade so I installed it a half hour ago. Now I have no voice anymore...
The language of the system is set to American (metric) and I cannot change it because it's grey. I'm from Holland so actually I want the lady to talk Dutch to me.
Anyone who know's what to do? I really don't like this at all...

I managed to update to SW30, but the unlock seems to be the real problem... Only see bottom yellow bar cycling full, not the top one. I guess the maps won't work because the unlock didn't work proper. (?)
Anyone a usefull tip? (reburnt 3 times in diff ways/speeds/proggies, but there always 560 bytes on the disk)
Offcourse i would like to run that V7 maps ...

Here is a YouTube video about unlocking method:
VW Volkswagen Navigation Unlock - YouTube
1. Burn both images at LOW SPEED (2x-4x) on a CD (not DVD!)
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, eject VWMFD2DVDEU0030.iso CD, press NAV again and put the UNLOCK CD.
Unlocking takes just a few seconds the screen will show 2 progress bars in a loop
but once it completes single cycle it is safe to remove the disk from unit.
After that you should be able to use self burned DVD+R DL disks,
Use ImgBurn, CloneCD for burning images at low speeds (2x). And of course, GOOD QUALITY DISKS (Verbatim, Philips, SONY)

3rd October, 2018, 09:18 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!!!
