Might be they havent renewed their license. AI Googles come up with imagined AI answers conflating what happened in 2023 Trafficmaster with Inrix now. In the past when Trafficmaster temporary disappeared it reappeared a few days later then went for good a year later. Probably somebody knows something.... waiting for it to be written with a reference.

We'll have to find @pcbbc in his normal habitat https://www.ttforum.co.uk/threads/fixed-rds-tmc-no-longer-working-in-uk.2032197/?nested_view=1 They are not onto it over there. Either a passing technical problem or the powers that be have decided to close the service down via Classic FM.

I would agree its currently not being broadcast. TMC crossed out. Whether its temporary or permanent pass. A quick Google on the subject nothing sprung out.

Early birth. It happened with the Mib2 Standard as well and in the previous release. I put it down to the streamlined processing that is now used for mib3/4 with connect services. The need to get them out monthly means no messing about, so us mib2 people get them early. Least my theory. They have shortened the production time from the freeze date from their live system but put them out for use at the normal time. Sits on servers not doing anything if you aren't in the know.

I don't think there is anything harmless with these units if you fiddle with the firmware since unlike mib2 they have done a good job of closing down the backend. Dealers and retrofitters have to use approved handshaking vag tools. Apart from disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Firmware updates you do yourself can be dangerous as those mib2 standard ones. Under warranty leave it to the dealer.

Glad you got it back. Mib1 swdl probably works a bit different to the mib2 version but I did wonder whether it would just down grade. Map updates are useful where there have been specific new road builds or estates. Can be annoying when you are in no man's land since the road is new or it takes you off it when a new road is ahead. I tend to check Google maps for long journeys and adjust the route if required. Mib2 high maps may be finishing soon in a year or so but we don't talk about it. Use to drive rental cars in Japan where the maps were not updated. Irritating. As navigator you are juggling with devices but I became a dab hand with their coordinator system but first time the car took us to a temple. The rental guy was suppose have put the hotel in. The temple became a way point. Second year I found their coordinate app system that generates the unique code that Japanese satnav uses. Crafty way of keeping competitors out of the market.

Its not the software that can be updated to give you mib2 high. Lack of zoom is that it has half installed the map file which is only designed for the mib2 high. The software release code you have on their feels like a map release. It isn't. Map file release 370 and above are for the mib2 high only, prior to that a joint release. You aren't the first since as I recall an Australian just had the view of Australia with the zoom gone. Basically when Vag decided they were not releasing for mib1 high anymore loading mib2 high files into a mib1 gives you that.

& this is a mib1 video you need to find the manual download menu as the one above. Then you force an update that takes you backwards. Manual download then fumble the bits you want to update and then start. Assuming the manual method is in the mib1 system. When he said two lines on the other video. Manual, select the elements and start. From 3.42. I can't see the see the "manual" method... but its probably there. Perhaps someone will jump in if going backwards is not a thing that mib1s do.

Thats the mib2 version of the backend menu. mib1 is similar. You run it with the 350 map download and overwrite the navigation files. Manual and fumbling the menu if mib1 is the same. Ive used the process a lot on a mib2 high for overwriting the maps.

Yes that's Mr Fix its videos.videos. Vag dropped support for Mib1 so whilst the release is a dual release Vag left out the mib1 components. If you got hardware prior to 2015 it's mib1. 370 after was the change over. To get out of this mess you need to install an old map that corresponds to your unit. You can use the developers menu which in mib1 isn't locked down. A long press on MENU gets you into a menu where you will see SWDL with any luck. You then play around with that with the 350 map file. Install all. Keep the door open to keep the unit powered up after 40 mins or so you should be OK. Never used swdl on a mib1 but I know people who have on boards. If like mib2 it should fix it although I do recall a post where there was an issue of a filled memory ?. But basically swdl allows you to go backwards as well as forwards into map updates. 350 is your last mib1 high map release after that you aren't suppose install the combined file since its missing the element you need. It's just a curiosity of how they historically did a dual release. Best of luck.

it shouldn't take that long. Two theories corrupted file in the system or issues with the firmware.

If its a mib3 which it sounds like it is 2020 on then individual radio logo update it is not possible. Mib1 and 2 it was. The logos are locked down so you can use the link @MartiniB posted at the top for bulk update. You have to make representations to Phonostar the keepers of the logos for specific individual ones. Vag became much more security conscious with mib3 so locked down unsigned imports to the unit which logos use to be for the singular import as per mib2 (did a few individual ones in the UK).

Well when this issue occurred on the partners mib2 standard which yours is, it was due to the jpeg on a media file be played. Went through a process of isolating the problem. Trying it with the map SD card out, still did it. In this case the graphics artwork which was embedded in the music file was far in excess of 512x512. It is specified certainty in the Seat manual the size. It was a home brew music file someone had created from an album and embedded this massive file which had been taken from album art files. Mib2s are like very basic home computers of old. It had created memory overflow / leak so the data of the jpeg went out of bounds and crashed the unit. The solution was to remove all of the embedded jpegs on the SD. There are manipulation programs to do this. You'd have to check what I used on the Seatcupra site since I forgotten. Adjusting the embedded jpegs on music files was popular at one time hence the programs that were written for it. So yes pull the SD cards out and see whether it reboots with them out. Find out whether it's due to a music file. If so you need to remove any large embedded jpegs. Clear as mud. Edit Mp3tag was the program I used to fix it. See https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/media-issues-or-user-error.464539/page-3#post-5040383

On that I think what it is saying find the corresponding map update for offline use to the one that is currently installed. Install via USB and that cleared the bug. Least I think that is what is going on.

Right it's this one I'm thinking of... corrected another Google with keywords in it: & here... where it concludes https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/532756-mib3-map-updates-202502-06/page/3/#findComment-5970567

There is something somewhere when it came up previously but I haven't been able to find it.

Best to ask @MartiniB if you cant get it sorted. It was posted up. The OTAs stopped working one other had the same and they got it freeded up via an old map file. Thats how I remember it. I can't lay my hands on that conversation.

Yes the discussion on the issues was on one of @MartiniB posts on one of the six monthly releases he'd put up. He had been stuck on not being able to update for a while it turned out. 18 months or two years ago. He might pop up soon. One other guy similar.

Have you tried MartiniB's manual update to atleast would give you newer maps. I have read posts where people find their map updates get stuck. Think@MartiniB was one of them, plus another. Think the solution for them was to go back to an older update to the maps then forward. It's in these threads in this area somewhere. I seem to recall we put it down to going back to the original fixed it. Like some corruption. That's if you can find the old file or may be giving it the latest release will nudge it. Who knows.

Is that a mib3 since I thought it was locked down. No manual adding extras like mib2. Yes it's the poor workmanship of the database not covering all stations. Obviously for Germany they do but as you move further a field. I put it down to being driven by what is on the Phonostar Internet radio service. If it's not on there it's less likely to be in the logo database. Vag being lazy and not understanding logos. I think I found a TRoc post or another VW site that reported stuff was still missing. Seat / Cupra aren't in the IDs so their injection into Mib3 goes in over the air. They don't get the ability to upload. As per the old POI import web based utility that had missing infotainment units in it, the mib3 files are similar. You do get an over the air logo update after you get an over the air firmware update so I'm told on mib3/4. Saying all of that it comes down to nagging phonostar to put missing logos in. I'm sticking with mib2.

Yes thats the fiddled with software that a Polish guy was sending out years ago. People told them to get back on their proper train when it wasn't working correctly. The modded firmware. That's the issue all these poorly modded firmware about without documentation. The trains themselves have the fixes in them for known bugs so the bug fix is on train, unless it's functionality that isnt on the train, which is why people train jump or just think it's better. Android Auto fixes are on the existing train. As for any postcode issues, update the maps.

& kill your system 😉. On the UK postcode what happened circa 2016/17 the map version released needed you to take out the space between the outward and inward part of the code... subsequently it was fixed but as I said I look down on people that just use it to find a place by the postcode only 😊. You get neck ache looking either side of the road. It's so last century... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s708SuRAi5o Example of the entry there just using postcode. The issue was nothing to do with the firmware but the processing of the files. What ever the issue was it got subsequently fixed. It caused the postcode only people distress at the time. Presumably the Cairus hack is the one where the backdoor is shoved open since the file will not be signed. No back of signatures at the end. These systems are like early computers they need a boot loader mess that up by jumping trains and you have no way of getting the system to reboot apart from shorting pins inside the unit. Instructions are on the net. Retrofitters offer the service of updating the units across trains saves the heartache 💔 of busting it yourself. The toolbox is the method a retrofitter would be using except the community wrapped up their methods in a toolbox.

Within train updates were supposedly to correct Android Auto issues but documentation isn't provided to the public. Living in poor 4g mountainous region in car sat nav without a data link does and no traffic... if there is a jam you follow everyone else on their Google maps route. Only happened once in 8 years. TMC in mib2 high you can get to work which I use in my car. Mib2 standard is Hobson's choice new maps no TMC or old maps with the Inrix mod worked out by the good Briskoda people.

Business have their own postcodes true if they are big enough else they share hence the definition of residential postcodes rather than business ones. The mapping companies either hand place the house holds or business street numbers by hand or use a synthetic way of distributing the "house numbers" along a strip of road. I believe they buy the two end points then use their systems to distribute. You know they have done that where they have a big park in a street and the house numbers run across the park. You see it then its trouble to correct since its past validation. Then the Here Maps system which was used on the standard and high mib2s only deals in the first six characters so it starts because it was based on the European zone system. So it all gets a bit interesting. Tom Tom took over the mib2 standard so may well have a better process of mapping postcodes to the proxy areas. I use an Android app, n45e25, to get the exact coordinates if Im being picked then diag them in. Mib2 gives you the on the map which is in degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS). You dial it in. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sands.mapCoordinates.android&hl=en The app which I'll edit in uses Google maps and Street View or Open Street which gives you a choice of the two views. Open Street better for outdoor activities. Mib2 navigation is really old style satnav which you can start to make look like thd satnav you loved and cherished in old days rather than google maps now. The dial in destination you save, name and they become destination in the system. You can use POI import programs to population the POIs, save as destinations and keep a couple of cars in synch using that method. I do this for hotels and things, the DMS for adhoc. Poinspector for important your own POIs in. Roll your sleeves up time. I did document that in English for the programmer with links. https://poinspect0r.blogspot.com/?m=1 Obviously not something you do on the fly but very exacting to get to the place you want to get to. DMS import and savings as a destination is an old Skoda trick I was told when looking at this. Its how I got all by Copilot address into the mib2 satnav some go back more than 20 years. Washed them though conversion programs. Copilot didn't have an export... Might be of use.
