Yeah, I have chatted to him now that I have been elucidated and we think he should stick to using CarPlay to show current maps on the screen.

Thanks guys. I’m glad it wasn’t me missing something obvious. I used to think of my Škoda as a poor man’s Audi, but the more I experience both brands, the more I have a definite preference for Skoda. Now all I need to do is wait for 473.

While 473 would be nice, I am very happy with 453 as it has removed roads that no longer exist. It is silly being directed down non existent roads. Now I have another issue that I need guidance with. As we know from my previous screen shot, 453 works in my Škoda Columbus very nicely. I have a friend with an Audi MMI Navigation Plus (MHI2Q_ER_AUG22_P5092) with very old maps in it and as viper42 says the FeC for Audi is in 453, and MIB Helper says it uses the same map package as my Columbus, I thought I would update his maps. I put the SD card in slot 1 and the unit spent a minute or two looking and then decided it couldn’t find the data. So, we have a NZ new Audi with (old) NZ maps in it, so the region should be ok. We have a package with the Audi FeC, so that should be ok. We have an SD card with a working, proven, copy of the package, so that should be ok. Can anyone see any reason why the Navigation Plus can’t see the data? Thanks.

Found it. :)

I know what you mean about imported vehicles; a friend of mine has a couple of A5s, one NZ new and one a UK import. He’s given up on getting maps into the import. As to download speed, I’ve had fibre for over ten years. The speed was fluctuating between 900kbps and 2600 mbps, mostly being around 1800. Our fibre uptake is such that our copper network is being turned off within the next couple of years. The country bumpkins will have to use 5G or Elon Musk. Ugh. What screen do you want a photo of?

Many thanks guys, especially MartiniB. Tell, I had a look at the year and it says it is 2026/2027, although the major build is 2026. I have a Škoda Columbus so the FeCs should be ok for me. It’s 2230 here (New Zealand) and it’s taken a few hours to download and unzip to an SD card so I will load the maps tomorrow, but the files look ok, despite the file name, so I don’t foresee any problems. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if Rest of World (MRM) maps are still being released? There have been two EU releases this year but the last MRM release seems to be November last year.
