How it works. Pcbbc is the expert but it populates those geographical tags and updates them. The radio bandwidth limits the speed that it comes down at. Hence it builds up over a short period.

Mib2 standard the SD based one you need V12 and patches on the thread. Mib2 high, the Columbus one the coding solution will work with the latest maps or anything before. The SD solution you trade latest maps against TMC. You can put it on another Vag card and use the solution that takes your fancy on the day of driving.

The conversation goes on a bit from that point. I guess you look to see what is in the V2 fragments using those tools / code / python against what was in it previously.

I suspect the clue is in here but I never looked to see how he did it... We await his arrival. Too old for programming now 🤣.

@bigade1 and @pcbbc Bigade1 got it working using the mib2 standard tool box and VCDS coding. Pcbbc removed the need for the tool box by recompiling those modules.

@pcbbcon your Techinsat has recompiled some files to make it work in the UK. Are you sure if you don't do the the v2 solution posted above it doesn't knock you onto the other group which would work for you?. The fix might be already here. You use v12 maps linked above plus replace the modules as shown. Might be worth a try. There is a grouping of TMC providers which might include the one you want. Basically VW one's were "free", the others are "pay". If your target is in the pay one then you might be fine. On the mib2 high, if the 15->14 works on the disconnected suspect that the mib2 standard fix will work.

That's management consultant watch reading where they borrow your watch to tell you the time 😉. Some people like to use the built in maps. No faffing with connections just drive. Ofcourse those external solutions need AA / Car Play. I wouldn't trust my tablet on turn for turn navigation not falling asleep. A lot of roads are missing from Google, farm tracks that aren't roads, builders roads on new estates, the real estate roads missing. The quality of the cartography is wanting at time. POIs misplaced. The travel time stuff is more accurate thou since its using real time data gleaned from other users from their apps GPS. Waze is just crowd sourcing. Only as good as the crowd that add to it. The cheap answer to TMC. Horses for courses.

Probably just needs a software expert. Problem is you need the unit and be a software expert so solutions start to get thin on the ground. Fortunate that the Here Maps cartography and toolkit built into their files is flexible enough for the purpose so the starting point is, is the cartography of Here Maps / the company they came from in both cases, then you might be in with a chance. The Australians seem to be good at adapting the setup to their market which is how the mib2 standard one came from and PCbbc's special source on those files. Decrypt of what was in them. Bridage had the solution via the mib2 standard toolkit but generalisation needed coding. For mib2 high it was just changing the coding which picks up groups of TMC providers across international markets. The well engineered approach to the files allowed that.

There is one post on the thread where it's said the coding solution works for a mib1. Suspect that was the Columbus mib1 since that post came in ahead of it being sorted out for the map card based units. My trick I use when it's not clear what people have is to read the part number of the hardware off a picture of the screen then do an image Google. Sellers often show the label on the unit. Zooming in you get to read the label. A photo shown of the map code installed also quickly gives the game away. Circa 2015 on to 2020 it will be mib2 standard / high (Amundsen / Columbus) before not mib2. So you might get that mib1 fix on a Columbus unit prior to 2015 or there abouts of that vintage (fee based code 14 rather than 15) if it's one of those. Mib2 on VW and Audi might have Delphi rather than Technisat. Looking at the mibsolution firmware library Delphi units didn't get installed in Skoda or Seat. The check whether it's a Technisat (the one it works with) if it starts with MST2 and ends with T, MST2_EU_??_XX_XXXXT its a Technisat and the solution works. The test posted above. I determined they only appear on Audi and VW.

Mine did once disappear from a Seat Arona. Think that was a programming issue in Obdeleven end. It interfaces with their servers. It did get fixed in the end. Might be something similar a bug with a specific model. It was fine on my Ateca.

That will be the case of the missapearing control unit then. You got the Pro license in fine ?. That code you type in that unlocks the Pro side. There is the Obdeleven forum, their help screens and Briskoda Obdeleven users. Suspect it's straight forwards to fix.

It's in the 5f unit. The engine needs to be running. Obviously you have to set it up for your car. I got my training aid here: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/resources/obdeleven-tool-for-vcds-type-of-activity-working-ones-for-the-ateca-part-1-of-2.44/ They are the control units. The 5f unit is the infotainment unit. Hitting adaptations and search for fee-based... or TMC should pick up the line. mib2 high (Columbus) you do that way. If its the map card based system you don't need Obdeleven, you mod the map card. That's the decision point earlier on. Always a good idea to do the error scan then go into the modules to change. In the past I've found it doesn't like you to change things if you haven't scanned for errors. How the program works with their mothership back at the ranch.

Distribution is like teletext of old why it built up over a period. Guess it has some way of rewriting the geo graphical zone with an update when it has one to give which you wait your turn for 😉. That's the lag you are seeing as the bandwidth to send the data will have limits. Perhaps it's like the old Grandstand teletype you have to wait for the football results to come in. The assumption is you aren't at the locality so some leeway till you get the information and require to act on it. Somebody will have done the modelling on that basis to say, yeah this is adequate in % of cases based on the capacity of the system, rate of traffic reports to provide and ability to act on them.

There is Ozzie discussion on here but no break through yet; https://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f78/additional-tmc-provider-mib2-discover-pro-units-heretraffic-134851-5.html

I think the Highway Agency folk have swapped to Inrix from my reading and what's been posted up. They are using Inrix themselves....

We'll get @pcbbconto looking at that 🤣. If it's that it needs someone who is technical with the unit. Any Ozzies with it may have found a solution then that informs what needs to be done here. If it's a Technisat then the drag and drop copy needs to be checked to make sure it overwrote what was there. If swapping map cards a reboot is a good idea. That's the long hold on the on/off switch till the boot screen comes up, let go then It will then read the data on the card from fresh... might skip that with a card swap. Worth a try.

It's a pain got tricked by EE even thou they were keeping 2G on longer. Told me my vintage 3G phone was compatible when it wasn't. Just after sales.

Suspect when the software was written they only had 3G. Probably work happily on 2G. The 2G O2 network is suppose to be being kept going for Smartmeters in England Wales. EE and 3 are turning 3G off now. 3 never had 2G. Probably the ideal is to have O2 🤣or 4G which will continue.

Feels like your Skoda connect service is faulty or not configured correctly. You could try a SIM card as suggested by joek above.

It will do. There are groups of TMC providers within those are the providers themselves. In the UK Inrix and what was Traffic Master, it's the latter that has stopped broadcasting in the UK only, Inrix is still broadcasting. One is in one TMC group the other is in the other group. The solutions on the thread shift it to a different TMC group, one that contains Inrix which is still broadcasting. Obviously, the manufactures have deals with the TMC providers funded by the licence they paid at the time. Inrix is like tuning into Radio Luxembourg of old, plays better pop music than BBC Light radio 😍. Possibly not a good example.

If you pick a route into the centre of London. Toggle show all on the TMC rather than on route that will show all not on the route. You can zoom in and out and move about That's in the TMC menu. TMC icon shouldn't have a cross through it. Did actually show up the road works we were going through in rural Wales yesterday. Tap on the road works sign and it showed you the information text... so that's the queue. Water board digging up the road ahead. Inrix is used by the Highway Agency bodies so this had been entered into their system and broadcast out. You'd never see those on the old provider, not round here except old data stuck in their system about a road to Fishguard port being closes and wanting a big re route around country lane for about six months when there was no road closure. The data accuracy of the old provider didnt fill you with confidence.

No you have to do @pcbbc version 2 copy over of those modules where he says unzip and copy, overwite. I wasn't certain whether Tazdaz just did that and didn't move to V12. It would have been a quick download anyway if he'd done a full V12 download. Not sure whether @PCbbc's mod is specific to V12 or can be used on previous releases. 1430 is the V12 release. You see that then installed under info or whatever Skoda call it. The card / download to use as the starting point. That's this bit: b. If you don't have VCDS / Obdeleven Pro coding device and want TMC to work in the UK with Inrix service but aren't so bothered about all Europe TMC providers use the module: DiscoverMedia2_EU_AS_1430_V12_TMC_Update_V2.7z This option assumes the current TMC fee based setting is set to 15. Default. In both instances, you need the V12 map: Unmodifed V12 map download: DiscoverMedia2_EU_AS_1430_V12.7z ---- Open up the zip file in the file manager, drag and drop on the card copying over what was there. That's right click in file manager on the zip file, drag and drop onto the SD card. In all instances take a back up copy of the card before you do it.

This sets the mmi's into context: https://mca.electricmura.ro/en/blog-audi-mmi-mib-models/ Afraid you have to poke around into how it's set up to see whether it uses a TMC group or get someone to. If its like the mib2 standard then it hacking. Either way it needs the provider to be excessive in providing the bells and whistles. On the positive side the cartography did become Here Maps so the TMC might be there to be configured. Needs a check with VCDS/Obdeleven Pro for a simple solution beyond that you'd hit programming I reckon.

Feels like a mib1. There was a report that the coding solution worked for mib1. You got to see what is coded in the infotainment unit on the TMC set code. If you see 15, try 14. That was the reported solution for mib1. For that to work it means that the map file is over engineered for the purpose e.g.. it's generic that it was produced for different markets so was engineered with flexibility. You have to look into the unit with VCDS / Obdeleven Pro looking for the TMC code set. As see set to 15, change it to 14 and reboot. I don't reckon they would have been kitted out for connect services so that 5 character code doesn't come in. You just got to experiment. That's assuming it was over engineered by the map provider and the system people that coded it into the system. You could sniff around Aussie sites that had this unit if any that may have tried to put it on Australian TMC. That was the clue for the mib1 standard. See whether they talking about VCDS coding. It could be straightforward if the mib1 report was correct that was posted up here.

That's the one where Pcbbc gave two options. Get your coding back to how it was. You need to overwrite those modules. If we had the photo earlier 😉. 1410 gives it away as a mib2 standard (Amundsen). I have nicely documented the brilliant work done here on the Seat board: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib2-satnav-mib2-tricks-and-lost-mib1-card-solution.388586/page-136#post-5037297 So you are one release I reckon before V12. Probably best to upgrade to that then you need option a. or b. Mib2 high (Columbus) I put here: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib2-satnav-mib2-tricks-and-lost-mib1-card-solution.388586/page-136#post-5035425 Saves me referring to the back posts here.
