If the VW site was still up you would check which VW map files were common between models of mib3. Screen size I believe is a variable. @MartiniB may be able to help. You certainly see some different files published but so far it hasn't been any issue on Skoda and Seat's to my knowledge. That generation hasn't appeared yet.

It should do if that is the correct file for it and the USB is OK and the files are prepared correctly and no MAC was involved without CleanMyDrive... It can take a number of hours if you start and stop... probably presentation. Have you found the VW PDF ?. I put all three PDFs on post 1 here. Check against. All the same technical instructions on presentation. https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib3-satnav-offline.472408/#post-5030964

No it won't brick it. There is validation in the car to stop rogue files being uploaded. It either works or it doesn't. When it doesn't work it's down to incorrect file preparation by not following the PDFs. It's like mib2 high. It's all about presenting the files correctly. A USB C with a built in flashing LED is liked since you see the activity taking place. Im told you get to see 25.6 whilst the LED still flashes. With a LED USB you leave it in till it stops flashing. Reckon it's finishing off the rest of Europe when it's still flashing... something that came to light recently. Don't use a USB A to C adaptor since some of these dont have all the pins connected. Some work, some dont. Issues on the SeatCupra side where firmware updates were found not to work due to this. The seller said common. Yes plugs into those sockets.

I keep on the monthly Window 11 updates and the pre releases so didn't moan for me. May be more forgiving than 7zip. I'd done the test looking for 25.06 which I'd found without issue. In the past thou on genuine 7zip files, Windows built in had messed up the mib3 by not seeing a file... that one with the date in. Think Microsoft have that corrected now.

We are at 410. See top post. That's old stuff. Pass on the question. If you can't upload it to the car, you know about Audi navigation FeCs ?. You need life long FeCs on Audi and Seat cars if it a compatible map. Audi posters here have their navigation FeCs adjusted. Audi boards for that.

Yes Ive been saying update 7zip to people. Unzipping fine for me but that was in the built Windows 11 file manager unzip. On the mib3 ones where there had been a moan or two on the SeatCupra board but I'd had no issue looking at them. It was found that they loaded up fine even with the issue. Normally you dont touch them if they unzip with errors. Going to be Skoda tools they use to zip them. Recommendation update your 7zip or try with the inbuilt file explorer Microsoft tool in Windows 11. Might be in 10. They had updated that tool to work with more diverse files.

By following in the pdf. I attached all of the Vag ones on this SeatCupra post. See attachment on the first post. The Skoda one is there. It's all the same. 64gb usb. Some people like the usbs that flicker so they know something is happening. Poke it in and wait after correctly unzipping it. Although I've given a few tips. There is no update button. It just senses the usb there with a map update on it. VAG uses restart points so if it doesn't complete it will restart next time you use the car. There have been some issues unzipping the European file but surprisingly you can ignore them. A recent copy of 7zip should be used or the internal Windows unzip. I haven't spotted this issue myself. Others have but as said it does update to 25.06. https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib3-satnav-offline.472408/

The delete and re save came up on SeatCupra board. That fixed it for the individual. I think this was where the virtual cockpit display didn't reflect what was on the mib3 unit. They were told to do it and it worked. Basically the logos are in a general mess how Vag have done it not allowing users to correct it as mib2 so its always going to be like that. Only as good as the official database maintained by Phonostar if that's not correct or missing logos then it can't be user corrected.

The other thing that has come to light on the Seat side is the update over WiFi for people out of connect services contract. This occurred after an out of contract person got a firmware update over wifi. After that came a radio logo update. They connected the car to a phone's hot spot and waited. If the car is identified as being a candidate for an update, it can get it that way. Must be handshaking. Fishing for updates. Not too sure how common that knowledge is. They said they had been looking over a number of days leaving it wifi connected. Don't think you'd get map updates that way.

If you pay for connect services you will get the update ahead of those that don't pay. Like monthly. Whilst the free ones run later on a six month release cycle. June, November. You pay your money and take the choice. Don't pay and they are a few month older than the paid ones. Anyhow @MartiniB a Seat poster now says that the European one is now available online (free) https://infotainment-cdn.skoda-auto.com/base/maps/OI_P153_EU_202525_Offline-Update.zip The 202525 is inline with your other post for 2025.02 so assuming it unzips fine and no mistakes by Vag should be fine. I'll inspect for 2025.02 in the file later. Leave you to test since I don't have mib3.

Suppose to be a digital ID but he's corrected me in the past and may be over the air jpeg for DAB. If the logo as a jpeg is never transmitted then you can see you are a bit stuffed when the station ID is recycled. Seen that in the UK. Think actually the logos are not transmitted just a station ID. You can inspect the mib2 ones via sql light or whatever its called. I'm travelling at the minute so can't check. It's the SQL commonly used so if you have database skills you can poke about in the tables but no good to change anything. All locked down.

I stuck with the 32gb sd card in Fat32. After vag stopped the support of the mib1 component in the update you didn't need the 64gb card since it stopped outgrowing the 32 gb card... however if you had some 32 gb SD cards that combined release would just fit on. MartiniB was like me when some started moaning and we didn't have an issue with our SDs 32gb cards. Aldi ones I inherited 😉... nothing fancy. Probably the Format command in Windows was playing up in exFat. Windows 10/11 did have a bug at one stage that messed up the sector size by not retaining it in a format. Probably something like that happened. Think that is what was messing up mib2 standard map cards that got zonked. I have certainly seen one release of Windows defaulting the sector size to the max it can.
-
Yes that would be inline with the November release and ECE 2026. Normally in old naming the June release was a combination of current year and next year. Whilst the November release is named to the following year. That I seem to recall got corrupted for mib2 standard when they lost a release due to processing issues.

I guess this is a catching up release since way back when the six monthly release got delayed and missed a six month period. Now this could be the official June release caught up ?. Away on holidays. Let @MartiniB check the production dates. Note the next post on that Ateca link says the all European link doesn't work. Needs validating whether that is the case.
-
I could see if you had poor 4g you may have to wait over a month if you never moved your car... 4g is shocking where I live and it's a piggy back low bandwidth service they use. I would get zero success.
-
USB method isn't bad but if I had mib3 I'd probably pay up for rest of what connect services can offer.

It's either the development database you are looking at is correct but the production database which is either what is loaded in the car or held centrally doesn't tally. Either it's been subsequently sorted but the cars system doesn't reflect that or the production database has drifted from the development one ie. They have not taken the correction put into the development database so the production one is out. Last edits were done by the Here Maps Team in October 2024. It's a precision road so small adjustments are not allowed so it locked down from movement. It's conceivable that if it was changed in October 2024 it would not get into the shipped files for six months or so. 25.05 was your map in the car. I'd give it till Xmas 2025 to see whether it passes through or take it up with Here Maps.

Unless it's reading it off some small sign somewhere. You get those bin stickers and it's not on the digital map in Herecreator ?. I think you might find a toggle to turn off TSR. One in mib2 for a test drive. Dynamic sign recognition. The other one that started to effect me a couple of years back it decided the local street was 5 mph. I put that down to slight misalignment where it reckoned you were off road. Always when I turned into the street getting home. Dong. I got Here Maps to look at that found nothing. Mib2 high auto recalibrates it's position if the maps are reloaded. So by driving a route few hundred yards through bends it places the car back on the map. Interesting one when you see it. Did that with the latest maps that I loaded up. We had a 5mph limit for quarter of a mile. Then learned from GPS and the road contour so then behaved itself. That issue has gone. It was the recalibration. I have had this one in France, reading the traffic signs off the back of lorries you are following on the Calais / Dunkerque road. The only place it does that one. The Heremaps creator database you see is the development database, whilst the production database is different, so they might be out of synch in that area. Sometimes you get two roads on top of each other. Which need to be weedled out. Previous edit error and what appears to be an AI system going off on one which can take a few days to straighten out. So a few things to check. You might have a report something wrong icon. The systems they sell for lorry navigation etc have report issues from the cab. They get pulled up into the Here Maps validation. A select few were allowed to validate and change the source materiel, then it became apparent that the select few were not much good and that features was removed, so I did see everything their validation teams saw at one stage. They were hoping to get validation on the cheap. Might be your issue falls into the one the production database needs to be looked at if the development database isn't showing it. If it's not a TSR misread or misalignment. The other thing is Vag contracts out the development of the mib3 files from the cartography. If the programmers misunderstood the source files then cartography doesn't work. In the first year they had the postcode controids pointing off road. The postcode is matched to the road but they were taking you to an offroad centroid. They were interpreting the files in a GIS market research method than navigation. In Heremaps house numbers are allocated to a centroid to the building and the navigation point on the road. You walk from there. The postcode only guys were getting taken off road. That's been corrected now in mib3.

Yes you'll be on connect services OK withn25.05. There is a way of offering up user corrections. You need a Heremaps login and you do it through their portal mapcreator.here.com/ The mobile app of it allows you to upload the evidence via a photo. May help. Generally the camera recognition works well except where the council put the 20mph speed limits in on side roads and it sees the sign as going past. The signs need to be a bit further down the road. Only effect of the speed limits coming in and grumpy people thinking they don't apply to them. I did do my bit where you could enter the village here on an unauthorised farm track. Council had left the old sign up of 30, got that changed so no excuses for those taking the short cut. The radar signs had been turned off that we had a whip around for. Got that reprogrammed. Heremaps has more stringent validation process than Google and Waze being run by a proper cartography company. The official 20mph roads in Wales are here. https://datamap.gov.wales/maps/roads-affected-by-changes-to-the-speed-limit-on-re/ This is what was examined to update the Here Maps roads. Use to do health planning in a department that did gravity modelling for services planning. When the NHS use to build things and not close them down. So our analysts would pour over maps, travel times, timetables etc as part of siting work, ambulance stations, regional centres etc. Was heartened to hear that HereMaps geographers went over the Welsh Government files. Assorted notices also go in on road speed changes so they go back to them as well. Published road plans for road developments. The survey cars for precise road position on A roads etc for self drive cars... they are set up for that. The architectures stuff. Regenerative predictivd breaking is another one. Being mere mathematical modellers we like to make sure the geographers do it correctly 🤣. As you know the 20mph limits are being revisited in Wales so that process will be repeated.
