On the first, no. Mib2 allows you to identify POIs in the Vag import format for the system. It does have a feature to warble to support radar camera location but you either buy these pre prepared or do your own importing radar POI files via software to create your own POI import file. Poinspector is one such program I use. You can find it on a Google. Bit like hard work setting up the proforma but once done its easy enough to update. There are other programs. People have an Excel macro driven one. Poinspector being a proper app allows you to zoom into the POIs showing the map position of the POI. You can enter your own POIs and an old Skoda trick I was told which I use is to import my own POIs then save as destinations once shown on the map. Doing that you end up with your own destination library and a blob on the units map. It makes the unit look like a normal traditional satnav. Thus holiday stops etc you routinely use you just mark up or can search for them. Obviously it does take some work but once done you have it. The likes of Google map POIs are hit and miss. Finding car park location with street view, getting the location then importing it to the unit gets the precise place. Car parks for hikes wont be on Google maps. Back to radar pois there are fixed and mobile ones. You can get the location of these but the mobile ones by definition move. Really you need traffic sign recognition (TSR) then the need for radar databases is minor. Only if you want to break the law between cameras. TSR is the way to go. Pass on voice. Mib2 high I believe can do it but I never use it. You press the button and say something. Hit and miss voice recognition isnt something you want in cars. I did try out Seat early mib2 high software app ahead of mib3. I wasnt impressed. That gave you Alexa. They then withdrew the app from the Google playstore. These were Vags early experiments in marrying the two up.

Unlike mib2 there is no hacking of the unit. Odd files have been found which when run compromise the unit. Yours might be one of them. Given there is zero possibly of unpicking these system if you do a firmware update thats fallen out off the backend of lorry you can get stuck. A previous owner might have done their own firmware update. Vag are trying to clamp down on DIY firmware updates. Yes you might find someone that can get you out of it. But you have no need to look at the meta file and then saving them again you will be compromised by the signature check. This is why vag clamped down on DIY firmware updates. Map updates you can do and are supported but as said not on the very first firmware releases of mib3 in all cases.

And you have to accept that the software can track you else you won't be othered firmware updates / be able to install them. Where people in the past went "dark" and then never got any updated. Failing all this and anybody else's advice you might have to take out a connect services license and dealer assistance to get things going.
-
Well its either presentation issues of the file, format or that firmware bug that was on mib3s. Are you in an area with connect services. Even if you dont pay the license you do get periodic firmware updates but must be logged in as primary use and accepted all terms. You might then get a firmware update other than that you might need a dealer.
-
You might have one of those difficult units or file presentation issues. Early mib3 units didnt allow you to do your own map updates without a firmware update. It might be that. Basically you put the USB into the unit correctly presented and if all goes well it will update after being powered up for 60 minutes or so with on and off restarts. People like the usbs with the flashing leds so they know there is activity. If you were hoping to see something happening immediately it doesn't work like that.

Its not a mib2 high since you quote Navigation Database: 21.7 Thats a mib3. Google on the part number. Its Martinibs other thread.

Suggest the second link in MartiniBs top post which seems to be a revision. Mib3 is however a bit fraut with issues. You can follow up MartiniBs forum link he's posted. Important to all of this unlike mib2 standard you cant poke about with the files and edit them. Presentation is strict. Not to use a Mac or if you do CleanMyDrive. Recent copy of 7zip etc. That was one solution once. Built in Windows 10 or 11 file manager can be used to unzip but slower. Then the USB formated in exFat. Over to MartiniB.

That's a Mib3 issue. Possibly the answer is on another thread. Normally with MIB units, you hang onto the on/off button till a reboot of the unit occurs. The screen refreshes. Reverting to the home factory is a bug that you read about. Think it's a common issue. Whether the reboot will straighten it up pass. I'd have thought it possibly had reset itself. Factory resets I'd keep off. Better thread elsewhere I reckon for this.

This any good ?. You were at 24 whether that AIO is any later... pass. Over to you. https://mib.plain.gg/MHI2%20-%20HARMAN/Gracenote An Irish guy has reprovided mib solutions posted up on SeatCupra today. That's what is in under Gracenote. The guys post arrived with this under a thread asking what's happened to Mibsolutions. >> hey everyone! just thought i'd come out and share a little project i've put together in the last few days. just like many of you i was frustrated with how long downloading firmwares, etc. was taking. i decided to rehost all of the files myself on a fast cdn. they are all now available at https://mib.plain.gg now this is all in beta so if anyone finds any issues please let me know. <<

& results screen. No issues: I noticed that. Discussion on one site about GPS jamming where they lived and the pros and cons of car v smartphone. The car came out better... probably since the GPS aerial is better placed on the roof, better choice of providers. Well if you do invade somebody else's country but its them doing the jamming 🫣. Had it once close to the Syrian border in Jordan but we also got picked up in a 4x4 with machine gun mounted as you do in the back. Rough travelling on the foor of one of those pickup by the Jordanian army. Taken back to the check point, passports checked and released. The hiking book took you close to one of their installations, sensitive areas, gave up with the Crusaders Cave walk 😂. Using OpenStreet on the trip. Anyhow without GPS you have to turn round and go back or face getting lost.

Well based on Google the AI answer is as below but thats an AI answer, a proximate quess I reckon for a mib1... the word "likely". Naughty AI systems. Skoda didn't give much.

Hadn't come across anyone trying to install a mib2 high only download on a mib1 columbus. I'd have thought it would just rejected it. But as you say if its a mib1 high then you got to go back to those older releases that were dual compatible. Mib2 high we remain to see whether we have reached the end of the road. I'm hoping an Audi file will pop up somewhere.

You can your bounce your finger across the SWDL menu and you can get it to do a re-install or go back to previous releases but it does need continues power to the unit whilst doing that. Some retrofitters just keep the door open. Not that I have ever lost power to the unit whilst doing it. BTW this is the newest thread @MartiniB like the posts on the right one although it did look like you had picked up the file from that 410. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/532458-columbus-map-update-2025-2026-mib2-high/

When you said "reset" did you mean a long hold on the on / off switch till it comes up with the logo ? Or some other but that says reset. The first always clears anything stuck. There is a zoom level button which you press untill it has the outline around it which means its on auto zoom. You can override that by twiddling the right hand button. That should make it zoom in and out. If its dumb to changing the zoom level and that long hold on the on/off doesnt make any difference then something indeed has gone wrong in the update. I always update via the developers swdl menu so if I was doing it I'd force the process again, go back to a previous map etc. You need a coding device to unlock the developers menu if you use swdl and keep the door open or shut and closed at 15 min intervals or keep the engine running. That is the right map for your region ?... not sure what happens if you load up the wrong region on a mib2 high. Mib2 standard you get a broad country outline but nothing else.

Yes I was hoping to reach out to you since you had the site last time. Suspect we might be using that file if it's released. Fingers crossed 🤞.

I've answered a post here about the November 2026 mib2 high release with some pointers. No sign of it yet. I know we have found the pre release for Audi before. It's these Audi files that we might be using if the well has dried up. Pre just means its run off by Audi not that its really pre I reckon. The signatures were just assembled differently in the file but same material for the UK. The one I checked in the past. 430 would be the next one. A Russian site and a British subscription map site had the links previously to these compatible Audi files. So yes. I trust we are keeping our eyes open for these on Vag servers and elsewhere.

& it was this Russian website that had the early release of Audi compatible files for mib2 high in the past *russian site link removed, given current geopolitical issues do we really want to send web traffic to known cyber security risk countries? Thanks, Briskoda admin Another one to keep an eye on if the release doesnt appear through official channels. In their tables they show June and December. May be Audi run a month later for December. I must admit I'm getting slightly concerned that VW have pulled the plug on publishing updated map files so we might be scrubbing around in the future. @MartiniB references the legitimate files off the brands file servers. In the future to keep up todate we might have to checkout other places 🫣. There was also in the past a subscription British site that contained links to the early releases.

Well it will be 430 based on previous mib2 high releases. They go up in units of 20 on the seriel release at six month intervals.
