Good grief. You would think they'd make it simple! ;0)
Mine stated it on the SD card.
The details are inside the plastic box it came in ( At the top left hand side), also at the back of the box it shows tom tom, and another 2 systems.How do you know which version you have?
If you have an MIB2 system then what you need to do is :
1) copy ALL of the files from your existing card to a safe place, most importantly the overall.nds file
2) make a second copy just in case.
3) download the new navigation files and unzip them.
4) delete the existing files from your sd card (you did do steps 1 and 2 didn't you? )
5) copy the new navigation files to your sd card.
6) copy the old overall.nds file from step 1 onto your sd card, overwriting the newer downloaded file.
Your MIB2 unit is coded to some hidden data on your existing sd card. You can't just buy a fresh one from amazon and use it. It also relies on the overall.nds file which is why you need to copy it back.
Spoken to SEAT UK today to clear this up aswell. MIB2 units can download the latest maps from the website and use the method above. MIB1 units need to purchase a new SD card for £91 which then allows us to download any new maps onto it like the MIB2 units so the £91 is basically a life time map licence
Nope they just said I just insert the new sd card, nothing about extra costs at the stealers, then he said any future updates just download off the website. I'll let you know when I go in and get one. If they do say theres an extra charge then the convo with head office is logged and I wont be paying itDid they mention that you have to pay a stealership £36 to pair the new SD card to your MIB1 unit or is that no longer necessary?
As it cost me over £120 plus an hour wait at my local dealership to get my car’s 5 year old maps up to date back in January but if I can download new maps to that paired SD card in the future then that’ll mitigate the cost!
I'd be interested to know what they say. I want to update the maps, but don't have time to book in the car.Nope they just said I just insert the new sd card, nothing about extra costs at the stealers, then he said any future updates just download off the website.

Tom, how did you get on with this please? Would love to update my very old v4 card in my 63 plate if I know it is just a one off cost.
Sorry for the late replies! I contacted Kendal Cupra on Facebook Messenger and they confirmed for my model that I would need to purchase the new SD card from then and insert it myself as the system will automatically update so there are no extra dealership costs. Also future updates would be done using the website and updating it yourself. There's no other way to do it with my model without the new card
Hopefully that works out better for you than when I tried to install my new SD card earlier this year, only to be confronted with this error message...
