Mib2 Map Updates 2020 (November 2019 release)

[Tell]

(see newer release on sticky)

Ok I'm keeping the old year titling on this, so let's not get confused.

The Mib2 High / Seat Plus ones have been released 184, June 2019 release 177. Formerly called the 2020 release - November 2019 release (184):

& on Skoda servers

http://infotainment-cdn.skoda-auto.com/base/maps/HIGH12_P184_EU_2020.zip

For Plus / High users with Mapcare (no UK cars) or for those running retrofit software only.

No good for standard users - you got to wait as per normal a few more weeks.

Thanks to the German Skoda board eagle eyes - I had been testing out the range of codes in the last period but it hasn't been there till today. I'll load it on my unit running retrofit software in the week.

It's a common release across Seat, Skoda, Audi and VW.... & probably Bentleys for people with the high end Mib2 units which runs Here Maps cartography.

Note all that we say about the use of Macs on these downloads.

(those UK Seat Ateca Cupra owners with the Plus unit have got to get your firmware changed to retrofit unless the interim short term Mapcare can handle it... cue agonising questions )

I'll add the standard ones when they come out. 1310 is the June 2019 release so the November release will be above that when it arrives.

For mib2 high users outside Europe the Rest of the World ECE 2020 ones are contained in this Russian board link:

Also for MAC users the recommended VAG software to clear the rubbish from a MAC unzip of the download map file is the free utility CleanMyDrive 2 whilst for a PC 7zip. From the October 2019 VAG pdf notes:

ATTENTION

If the map update is performed using the Apple® OS X operating system you may find that
Discover Media does not recognise the map material or displays it incorrectly. This is due to
a lack of compatibility between the “7 zip” program and the OS-X operating system. In
addition, the OS-X operating system has a tendency to create hidden additional files on
external data media. We therefore recommend that OS X users use the “Keka” unzipping
program. We also recommend using the “CleanMyDrive” program to remove any hidden files.

SD card of 32GB formatted to FAT32 should also be used where you can update Mib2 High units.

Mib2 Standard (November 2019 release)
(V12, 1430)

The all European link is this

http://vw-mapscdn.tdd.adacorcdn.com/DiscoverMedia2_EU_AS_1430_V12.7z

Updates fine with the workaround. This release also has the 6P part number.

See post 1809 / 1810 on the navigation thread for an error free way of doing it !.

https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/navigation-system-updates.388586/page-91

using the newest link above rather than the one shown under (1).

Those two posts bring together a bullet proof update for mib2 standard navigation. People cut corners then run into problems. Take a copy of the card before doing anything if it your first time, subsequently you can just copy back the fragment you require as long as you don't loose it. MAC notes provided in the link.

For those that want to report road changes etc to improve the maps these can be submitted to TomTom via the link

http://www.tomtom.com/mapshare/tools/

They will bubble eventually into updates if they pass TomTom validation by providing evidence, web links, pictures etc in the report.

Cheers Tell. I safely updated my maps on my 18 Ateca to 1430 as per your link and saved myself a few bob. Thanks again you are a star

 

[leonlad]

is 1430 latest ?

 

[Tell]

1430 is still the latest.

CW25 is the expected date generally. Monday 15th June or there about. VW web site page is generally July but the links get published before they get indexed through the page.

The German Skoda board which is pretty hot on these things is silent at the minute.
