As per my previous comments I recently purchased a facelift Skoda Octavia with an Amundsen Sat nav and my maps were reported as ECE1 2017, from reading this forum I found that this is an old version of the maps and a newer version ECE 2017/18 is now available. When I go to the update portal an enter my VIN I am told no update is available. I downloaded the latest version for the Amundsen using the link https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/431125-direct-download-links-for-ece-20172018-maps/?do=findComment&comment=4892046 and followed the instructions from on a Windows 10 PC https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/431125-direct-download-links-for-ece-20172018-maps/?do=findComment&comment=4893392 My maps have now updated and report ECE 2017/18 :-) Don’t know why the update portal told me no update is available? Seems this may not be reliable? anyway have the latest now. Jon.

Simon I assume that even though there was no update for your VIN when you downloaded using these links you were able to get the latest map versions working OK. I am in the same situation, not sure why it says there is no update available when it seems there is? thinking of doing the same as you and doing the update without the update portal.

So there is an update for the Amundsen, link below I am not sure why when I enter my VIN into the update portal it states that no update is available. It seems every who is seeing this issue has recently purchased their car. Maybe it takes a while for the portal to allow updates for new VINS? Is there any reason why I should not backup the files in my map SD card onto my PC and try the link above? It seems a bit annoying that I have to do this when I have a new car, if an update is available it should be available from the update portal with my VIN? I have a 1 month old Skoda Facelift Octavia Hatch SE L 1.4 TSI Manual with Amundsen. Can I do any damage by trying this? I assume I can always restore the files to the original state if this does not work? What is a MIb2 Amundsen? Is this the version I will have? Appreciate any thoughts on this. Jon.

Very recently purchased new facelift Skoda Octavia SE L with Amundsen system. The version information in the map is reported as ECE1 2017 with shield 2016-03 (build 20) looking at this forum it seems ECE 2016/2017 is available. The update Portal http://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/ states "The last update was in November 2016, the next update is scheduled for June 2017". When I enter my VIN into the update portal no map updates are found and I get the message "There were no software updates for the VIN". Do I have the latest version already? or is there a problem with my VIN? I am really grateful for any assistance anybody can provide. Thanks in advance. Jon :-)
