Audi MIB2 High systems used in North American vehicles require a dedicated NAR navigation database. European or Rest of World map packages are not interchangeable with the North American release.
For compatible Audi MIB2 High units, the available North America map release is:
P376 N60S5MIBH3 NAR 2024/2025
Coverage includes:
- United States
- Canada
- Mexico
This navigation database is intended for compatible MIB2 High systems using North American MHI2_US_ or MHI2Q_US_ firmware trains.
Before downloading or installing the maps, check the complete software version of your MMI. Compatibility depends on the infotainment system and firmware train, not simply the Audi model or production year.
Not sure which MMI system you have?

Audi MIB2 NAR P376 Map Update – Key Information
Navigation database:
P376 N60S5MIBH3 NAR
Region:
North America / NAR
Coverage:
USA / Canada / Mexico
Supported MMI family:
Audi MIB2 High
Typical compatible firmware prefixes:
MHI2_US_
MHI2Q_US_
This map package should not be used on MMI 3G, RMC, MIB1, MHS2, MH2p or MIB3 systems.
How to Check If Your Audi Is Compatible
Before purchasing or installing the P376 navigation database, check the full firmware version displayed by the MMI.
On many MIB2 systems this information can be found under:
Settings
→ System Maintenance
→ Version Information
You are looking for a complete software train similar to:
MHI2_US_AU57x_…
MHI2_US_AUG22_…
MHI2Q_US_AUG22_…
For this NAR map package, the important part is the regional firmware prefix:
MHI2_US_
or
MHI2Q_US_
Do not assume compatibility only because the vehicle was originally sold in the United States or because another Audi of the same model uses MIB2.
If your firmware begins with MHI2_ER_, MHI2Q_ER_ or another regional prefix, verify the current unit configuration before installing North American maps.
What Does NAR Mean?
NAR stands for North American Region.
Audi navigation packages are region-specific, so a North American MIB2 system normally uses a different navigation database from European or Rest of World vehicles.
The P376 N60S5MIBH3 package contains navigation data for:
- USA
- Canada
- Mexico
A European P-series map package is not a direct replacement for the NAR database.
Navigation Licence / FEC Requirement
Installing the map files and having a valid navigation licence are two separate parts of the update.
The P376 NAR map release requires compatible map licensing on the MIB2 unit.
For this release, the relevant map FEC used on compatible systems is:
023100EE
You can check installed licence keys in the Red Engineering Menu on supported units.
If the required navigation licence is not present, installing the map files alone may not provide working navigation.
A compatible activation solution can provide a lifetime map licence on supported MHI2 and MHI2Q systems:
The same solution can also activate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on supported firmware versions.
Important: map files and map licensing are different things. A lifetime map licence does not automatically include the navigation database files.
Where to Get the P376 NAR Map Update
The P376 N60S5MIBH3 North America map package is available here:
The package is available as a digital download or prepared SD card depending on the selected delivery option.
Before ordering, provide the complete MMI software version so compatibility can be checked.
How to Install the Audi MIB2 NAR Maps
The P376 map database is installed through the MIB2 software update function.
The general process is:
- Download all parts of the navigation archive.
- Extract the complete package.
- Prepare a suitable SD card.
- Copy the required files to the correct SD card structure.
- Insert the card into the MMI.
- Open the System Update menu.
- Select the detected navigation package.
- Start the map installation.
- Allow the procedure to finish without interrupting power.
- Check the new navigation database after the MMI restarts.
For the complete step-by-step installation procedure, use our dedicated MIB2 map guide:
Preparing the Downloaded Map Files
The P376 download is supplied as a multi-part archive.
All archive parts must be downloaded before extraction.
Place every downloaded part in the same folder and start extraction from the first file, usually the archive ending in:
.001
Use 7-Zip or another application that correctly supports multi-part 7-Zip archives.
Do not extract every archive part separately.
If extraction reports an error, stop and verify the downloaded files before preparing the SD card.
Do I Need to Update MIB2 Firmware First?
Not necessarily.
Firmware and navigation maps are separate updates.
If your current MHI2_US or MHI2Q_US firmware is compatible with the P376 map package and the required navigation licence is available, there is no reason to update firmware only for the sake of having a newer version.
However, some vehicles may benefit from or require a particular firmware update before additional functions such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or lifetime map licensing can be activated.
Always check the complete firmware train before making changes.
Special Option for Audi A6 and A7
Compatible Audi A6 and A7 vehicles using the MHI2_US_AU57x platform have an additional firmware upgrade option.
The MHI2_US_AU57x_K3341_1 AIO package can provide updated firmware together with additional functions on compatible systems.
More information:
There is also a complete USA / Canada / Mexico bundle for compatible Audi A6 and A7 vehicles:
Do not use the A6/A7 firmware package on a different MIB2 hardware train unless compatibility has been specifically confirmed.
What to Check After the Map Update
After installation, allow the MMI to restart completely and check:
- navigation database version,
- GPS position,
- map rendering,
- route calculation,
- voice guidance,
- navigation licence status,
- and any warning or error message displayed by the system.
The Version Information screen should show the new P376 navigation database.
If the map database is installed but navigation remains unavailable, check the map licence before reinstalling the entire package.
P376 Maps Installed but Navigation Does Not Work
If the map update completes successfully but navigation becomes blocked or unavailable, the first thing to check is the navigation licence.
Do not repeatedly reinstall the map database without diagnosing the cause.
Check:
- whether the correct P376 NAR database was installed,
- whether the MMI firmware is MHI2_US or MHI2Q_US,
- whether the required map FEC / licence is present,
- whether the unit has previously been patched,
- and whether the vehicle or MMI has been converted from another region.
A map database can be physically installed while navigation licensing is still missing or incompatible.
Can I Use European MIB2 Maps on a US Audi?
Not as a normal map update.
North American and European MIB2 systems use different regional configurations, firmware trains and navigation databases.
If a North American vehicle is being converted to Europe, the conversion must be handled as a separate procedure.
Do not simply place European maps on an MHI2_US or MHI2Q_US unit and expect the system to become European.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest MIB2 map version for USA, Canada and Mexico?
The North American package covered by this guide is P376 N60S5MIBH3 NAR 2024/2025.
Which MMI systems support P376 NAR maps?
The package is intended for compatible Audi MIB2 High units using MHI2_US_ or MHI2Q_US_ firmware trains.
Does P376 work with MHS2?
No. MHS2 is a different MIB2 platform and uses different navigation packages.
