How it works normally without aiding it is that it churns away doing it 20 minutes after you close the door with ignition off, then stops, it has a restart point, then will restart from there. The whole process is ~40 minutes but with restore points can be longer since it restarts from where it got to when it dropped the restart point. You can cheat by opening the ďoor and closing it before the 20 minutes is up. 20 minutes is the power down, the normal one when the radio / music stops if sitting in the car. Some people say you can leave the door open, never tried that. Most people just drive to work without navigation and get the ~ 40 minutes one way or another. I use the SWDL menu since I like to get it done and see the stages. You must open and close the door every 15 minutes on that, 5 mins leeway. No restore point, you have to start again if it looses power. One of these days I may do it the normal way 🙄.

But it's not showing a WAV file thou 🙄. They will all be the same but varying quality of documentation. I reckon it won't resolve 800×800 cover art thou.

Interesting FLAC isn't on that list. Reckon that's an old page :). Newer firmware / hardware in Mib2 High's plays Flac. The image size of 800x800 doesn't tally with 512x512 standard as per Seat Mib2 and Mib3 spec. I've printed it out as my off pista update routes for the maps. I can see with more modern PCs cutting down on ports they may not have SD card slots so USB may have attractions to some for the update rather than using the VW instructions I posted up above which is the gold standard dealing with Mac's as well.

The VW PDF attached on updating the mib2 high where it's says 32gb, fat32 SD card, class 10. Basically deviate at your peril. I know some of the Briskoda people like to take the top road 😂. For £7-50 saves a lot of trouble although with newer laptops you might have to buy a USB / SD adaptor which don't have an SD slot... another £7-50 or so. Discover_Pro_June_2020_EN.pdf

It does... but won't on a 32gb card unless it's in Fat32 due to the overheads of NTFS addressing against Fat32. The addressing takes up the space so the image won't fit on. It popped that one about a year ago. People love NTFS so format willy nilly in that... if you do that on the standard navigation map card the unit doesn't read the card correctly as well as a fair few people screwing up their navigation cards since newer ones don't take too kindly to being reformatted. Keep it simple stupid approach applies else you end up digging people out of a mess they put themselves. That's buy a 32gb SD card class 10 for the purpose, keep to fat32. That might change if the high maps outgrow 32gb and the unit can support that. Not sure on the latter. Must be an unpublished upper limit in the QNX code.

(Or a slight variation on the second para on when you see the attributes before Start or after, second bar down. The main thing is it differentiates out between when the media is being seen and whether what is on it is correct, wobbly navigation FeCs get identified on NavDB not being possible, see the rest and it's seeing the media, just navigation FeCs won't allow the update)

I did a Google... why I said if all the rest is correct then may be VAG have taken the FeC out for Audi, way to test on an old release of the maps. With Seat in the developers SWDL menu where the navigation FeC is unsupported you see N against the map attributes. Y is good (will be the same). You can have a look in there. If you aren't seeing the media, then it's not seeing the media, but if it is seeing the media if will show the media to select. Tap it. You go SWDL, manual download (tap), then start (below tap), then you can scroll down the attributes. NavDB, Eggnog etc. N is bad, Y is good. Doing an update that way you have to open and close the door every 15 minutes to keep the unit live. Dont start the update if the attributes arent marked as Y.

BooBoo the other thing to do is try uploading an old Map which you know the unit took to test whether the Audi FeC can be used with this release. I think we are getting somewhere... if it is the Audi FeC then the Skoda 08300008 may work. Never got down to the bottom of why VAG left out Seat this time last year, then put it back on the six month in November. For all the random stuff going on why I say to people stick with the 32GB card, Fat32, Mac Keta and CleanMyDrive and it shouldn't go wrong.....

Are you sure it's not suppose to be 08300008 That's the magic FeC I have for Skoda and the ones that the M.I.B. people use.... yours is a Audi one, whilst Seat work with Skoda not sure the other way round with a Skoda one and that was via the developers back end thingey Skoda works in a Seat. You need to get it at 08300008. In June 2021 VAG left the Seat FeC out of the release so it couldn't be read in. May be something similar with Audi in this release ?.

It won't be on the portal since Skoda will make you wait for it.... Fat32 is on my Windows 11 and it's up to date. You can't format above 32gb in Fat32 hence where exFat comes in. There are some utilities that will do the business if you really want Fat32 on a big drive. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/ However since 32GB is the current recommended size and you have that card then Fat32 is fine. If you use the more fancy formats on the 32GB card the file allocation method takes up space and you won't get the image onto it. Germanic boards were rattling on about this last time round. Anything other than Fat32 isn't suppose to be used since you are suppose to stick with a 32GB SD card. Off pista if you move away from that.

As long as its reading the FeC correctly. That's the life long navigation FeC. If that wasn't presented correctly it may not see the update. I never did see updates on my Seat before I got the FeC adjusted, so a dubious container file could give you that result I reckon. If it's on the FeC list you would think it was fine, but may be not... limit of my knowledge on whether what the screen shows tallies with what it does.

I always use a 32gb SD card in Fat32, £7-50, class 10. No Mac involved?. Some infotainment units seem to be sensitive to slots used. I always pop the SD cards out and use slot B... Some have reported A only... but having other devices poked in may not help. That's come up in the past. Switch on, allow it to boot up push in just the card with the rest out, or the USB I guess.

The Mib collective as I call them probably know them. I think it's been fully understood. They just got Mib3 now which VAG doesn't understand 🤣. Probably should move their money from chasing down enthusiasts into sorting out their own software. Bentley's in that list as well. They have seven revealed under operations: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, and Škoda. Volkswagen AG. They lost one 🙄. VW owners don't realize it's all about branding.... recycling the same systems atleast.

I see Skoda have sorted out their unzipping issue with this release on 7zip. All signatures correspond as well between the VW and Skoda release before anybody says they are different releases.

Well done. I see the German Skoda board had fell asleep on the job ;).

MartiniB eagle eyes reported on Seat side this... New "AS" maps V16 2023 https://vw-maps-cdn.lighthouselabs.eu/vw-maps/DiscoverMedia2_EU-AS_1910_V16.7z or https://navigation-maps.volkswagen.com/vw-maps/DiscoverMedia2_EU-AS_1910_V16.7z So we are off now on the June updates a month early. I see they had your 197 high release. Test them tomorrow.
-
Oops. The mib2 high for Seats you just add the Skoda FeC using Mib Tool / change the firmware Mibsolution etc. I'm hoping if they fiddled with the standard release by messing up the FeCs then a similar solution would be found. People like a challenge. Seat currently have messed up the international web page where the map updates sat... all may not be lost, just their web people might not be very good. We'll see.
-
They have to hold it back so VW drivers feel special 😂. See whether they leave the Seat FeC out of this June's 2022 mib2 high release. I'm keeping the additionsl Skoda one in, just in case. Excitement.

Suggest you use MartiniB's VW link in the first post of the thread. All the same files, just zipped differently. Skoda had a weird compression on this year's release which causes unzipping programs to stumble. Since you are using Mac the VW recommendation is: If the map update is performed using the Apple® OS X operating system you may find that Discover Pro 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. You use Keka as the unzip program and you must use CleanMyDrive app run on the SD card. The unit does a full signature check on the map material import. MacOS can add additional characters into the file which then leads to the validation failing. CleanMyDrive hoovers out all of the Mac bloat characters stuff put in the file by the Mac system. Just one character variation will knock the import out. In your case its stumbling on the unzip, but you still need the CleanMyDrive in.

It does do. That's how people normally do their map updates on mib2 high units driving too and from destination although the sat nav is not available during the process. The overrun of the car's systems being powered on for 20 minutes after ignition off, the wind back in the up date if power lost eventually leads to the full update going thru. A 20 minute drive plus 20 minutes after gives you 40 minutes. Truncate the drive from 20 minutes, some wind back, recommence from a restore point in that, plus 20 minutes and the restore point difference gives you the 40 minutes 😍. It's the restore point that it uses in the normal update that works differently to using the developers SWDL menu where you need for power for the duration since the restore point is zero minutes into the process e.g.. start over again. Front menu you can break the update into parts which it handles automatically.
-
Fat32 is good but if a bigger card to 32GB then exFat. If 32GB Fat32. You can do it without the engine running if you open the door every 20 minutes. I do it in 15 minute goes since I use the backend developers menu (SWDL) since it shows what's going on and I just like to get it out of the way. I'm sure on the front menu you can switch off, lock-up and revisit the car every 15 minutes as I do. The system powers down at 20 minutes why you got caught out at 30 minutes. 5 minutes leeway to get your shoes on, spend a penny etc. On the normal update menu it remembers where it got to so continues from there, the back end menu forgets and you have to start again from scratch.
-
June is when we expect to see the next one unless MartiniB finds it early.... that's available on direct links to servers of the respective brands, whilst Skoda, VW and Seat take a time to wrap their web page around it. So nothing unusual, all is still good. Wouldn't expect to see anything till atleast mid May but definitely mid June.
-
Sounds like it will be fine. You run CleanMyDrive once it's on the SD Card. As I said some people get away without using CleanMyDrive, that will be where it unzips directly to a clean SD card removing the Mac dross within the unzip where the program is clever enough to do it. Keka can't be why VW say use CleanMyDrive as well. Suspect the Mac unzipping software would have moaned about the Skoda file if there was an issue. PC one does, where the inbuilt file explorer one didn't. Tripped a few PC people up.
-
The only issue will be how the Mac apps for unzipping work with the new variable compression method Skoda used on 195. If that fails uses MartiniB's VW link for 195, your Mac unzip but I bet you will still have to use CleanMyDrive although some report in the past that they can get away without using CleanMyDrive. I sorted out a Seat owner last week you was doing it in a Windows shell in a Mac but still had to use CleanMydrive at the end. The Mac issue was why VW had their own app but discontinued that now... was not updated in a timely fashion so people just stuck to the Mac instructions where they could get the latest off the servers than wait for VW to update it.... If only I remember the name of that 🙄. I deleted it myself, was a PC and Mac version that took out the unzipping / file preparation stages. You poked the card in and it did the lot.
