I can confirm the link to the VW website works, the maps are now downloaded, decompressed and copied to a genuine 5E0 Skoda SD card which is happily being read by my MIB1 Amundsen.

[PetrolDave]

Has anyone found the 2021 MIB1 Amundsen map update?

 

I've been looking on the Skoda and VW websites but they're both still showing the 2020/21 update from June 2020.

 

I've found part numbers for the Audi equivalent 2021 update on a new SD card (8V0 060 866 N and 8V0 919 866 N) but so far only a dealer in Denmark lists it and my local Audi dealer says it's not yet in stock in either the UK or Germany.

ask them for upload content of SD card on ~Google Drive~,
write, you already have original card with older maps

Nice thought but ...

1) the Audi SD cards are software write locked (so far no method I've found using Google will unlock them) - DIskpart says it has unlocked it but it hasn't

2) the dealers say they don't have access to the files on the Audi/VAG servers - which makes sense because Audi's pricing model is that you buy a new card every 6 months

VW have changed the date of the MIB1 Amundsen update on their website, but it's still the same version 94 content from June 2020 - sneaky so-and-so's

 

The Skoda Portal is still showing the same old update from June 2020, but at least they haven't 'fudged' the date to make it look like a new update like VW have

[PetrolDave]

Looks to me like neither VW or Skoda are going to be offering any MIB1 Amundsen updates beyond the 2020/2021 version?

 

Is there some kind of undeclared 5 year (or thereabouts) limit on map updates? I don't plan to change my 2015 Octavia anytime soon, but to get up-to-date maps (or better CarPlay) I may be forced down the unofficial MIB1 to MIB2.5 upgrade route.

Finally there's an update for Chile, unfortunately is almost impossible to get an original sd card for my VskodaW headunit 😑

Check on eBay, I've got all of my genuine Skoda SD cards from there.

[Frdy85]

@PetrolDave I've seen a lots of sd on ebay loaded with central ot eastern Europe but my concern is about add more maps into them or replace them with the Chilean map

[Frdy85]

@MartiniB on the site there's an update but it says only partial.

Latin erAmerican countries are written with an * next to them

[langers2k]

@Frdy85 - this thread is about an MIB1 Amundsen. From your post here, this is not what you have so the maps above will not work!

 

You need to figure out if you have an RNS-310 or RNS-315 style Amundsen.

- For the RNS-310, I can't see any South American maps

- For the RNS-315, there appear to be V7 maps from 2016/2017, I can't see anything newer

Yes, both MIB1 and MIB2 Amundsen will only read maps off a genuine Skoda SD card - there are usually plenty on eBay (I've got mine off eBay).

 

It doesn't matter if you get the 5E0 prefix card or the 5L0 prefix card, the MIB1 Amundsen will work with both (I alternate between a 5E0 and a 5L0 card).

 

And the suffix doesn't matter because you can download the latest maps from the Skoda Update Portal by entering your VIN.

 

Currently there are 31 Skoda SD cards on the UK eBay...

I changed my original Bolero with Amundsen in the glove box (because of the rear view camera). Now, I have in MENU navigation as option, but I don't have an original SD card for navigation. 

First I would try to see is it possible to start navigation  with maps at all, because after that I have to install the antenna as well.

I can't download software from official Skoda site, because for my VIN  is related to replaced Bolero.

Then go to the VW map update site https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/car/ , and select 'Golf until 2015' followed by 'Discover Media' then download the Europe maps - they are 100% identical to the Skoda maps (yes I have done a 100% byte for byte comparison).

I tried, but it doesn't work. In first moment it start to load data, but I got the message very quickly on screen "navigation: function is not supported". Probably I have to have original Skoda SD CDA card. 

[MartiniB]

in case i own Columbus Mib2H, nothing of following have been tested,
just some info:
1. there are SD cards which's ID can be changed, don't ask details
2. there are modified firmwares where are accepted side SD cards

 

read with Google Translate
-> RNS 310

-> RNS 510

I think it's already been mentioned that an Amundsen can ONLY read maps from a genuine Skoda SD card...

This procedure is for Skoda MK2 not for Skoda MK3

The two links are for the MK2. However, the two methods mentioned, (changing card CID or hacked firmware) are both valid for the MK3.

 

How did you have component protection and the features enabled on your Amundsen? If it was a dealer, you might find satnav won't work as your cars VIN doesn't have entitlement for satnav...

 

Can you confirm if you're using a genuine Skoda/VW SD card?

You're having issues trying to get navigation working on a retrofitted Amundsen.

 

The way this works on a stock system is the headunit checks the SD card CID is valid. The CID is basically like a serial number that's programmed into the SD card which is designed to be one time programmable and unchangeable.

 

This means you have three choices to get nav working (as far as I'm aware), you can either:

- use a genuine Skoda/VW SD card

- use a non-genuine Skoda/VW card with the CID changed to match a genuine card (only works on very specific SD cards!)

- hack the headunit to accept all SD card CID's

 

I believe you're trying to use a non Skoda/VW SD card? This won't work unless you either change the CID or hack the headunit...

 

The second question is how did you get component protection removed?

 

If a dealer did it, there is a good chance navigation won't work as a dealer can only activate features listed against your VIN which won't include navigation. Obviously if this is a hacked headunit then this shouldn't be an issue.
