This seems to come up pretty frequently so here are a few screenshots to show the process.

 

First step is to download the maps to your computer, you have three choices:

- download from Skoda

- download from VW

- use MartiniB's direct links

 

The direct links are easiest and updated quite quickly, these are probably the latest, updated Nov '22: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/508188-amundsen-mib2-map-updates-20232024

 

Warning:

The full Europe maps no longer fit on a 16GB card without modification. The smaller ECE 1-7 versions should be fine :thumbup:

 

Bit more info regarding which files to delete can be found here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/498473-amundsen-mib2-map-updates-202223/?do=findComment&comment=5592747

 

Downloading maps (Skoda)

 

Goto https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/ and enter your VIN.

Choose whichever maps you'd like.

For this guide, I choose the European maps.

Click download and wait until they are on your computer.

Copying the maps to your SD card (Skoda)

 

Once the download has completed, we can copy the maps to your SD card.

- Remove the SD card from your car and make sure the 'lock' tab is in the unlock position (it should be in the position that's closest to the gold/silver contacts)

- Then plug the SD card into your computer

Optional step, you can copy the files from the SD card as a backup if you'd like. I don't bother but it's your call.

 

Start 'File Explorer' and find your SD card. In my case it shows up as D:\ but it could be another letter on your computer. Right click on the SD card and select format.

People have differing options on the format options, you can see what I used below.

 

031.thumb.png.379b9e6b9da46a411f87baf879e237e3.png

 

Once the format is complete, right click on the maps you downloaded earlier and select 'Extract All...' from the submenu.

 

032.thumb.png.dac5786f03fc0a52da646f9364e4a660.png

 

You need to change the destination folder to match your SD card. In my case it's 'D:\' but you may need 'E:\', 'F:\' etc. Click 'Extract'.

And wait! Time will depend on your computer and SD card slot.

 

034.thumb.png.fa13d3b644dc0b0b3b494240f4d2e63c.png

 

When it's complete, right click and eject the SD card. Not all computers will show this option.

 

035.thumb.png.60b0bf98dcc52e15068de5b0d0a81bd8.png

 

You can now remove the SD from your computer and slide the 'lock' tab is in the lock position (it should be in the position that's furthest from the gold/silver contacts).

 

Downloading maps (VW)

 

Goto https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/car/#download and select 'Golf' then 'Golf from 2017' then 'Discover Media'.

 

There are various options but that should be fine for the MIB2/MIB2.5 Amundsen.

Click download and wait until they are on your computer.

Copying the maps to your SD card (VW)

 

You'll need to install some extra software called 7-Zip to use the VW maps, it's freely available from: https://www.7-zip.org/

 

Once the download has completed, we can copy the maps to your SD card.

- Remove the SD card from your car and make sure the 'lock' tab is in the unlock position (it should be in the position that's closest to the gold/silver contacts)

- Then plug the SD card into your computer

Optional step, you can copy the files from the SD card as a backup if you'd like. I don't bother but it's your call.

 

Start 'File Explorer' and find your SD card. In my case it shows up as D:\ but it maybe another letter on your computer. Right click on the SD card and select format.

Once the format is complete, right click on the maps you downloaded earlier and select 'Extract files...' from the 7-Zip submenu.

 

022.thumb.png.5a0a8d8f53780a5015507bb825106009.png

 

You need to change the 'Extract to:' to match your SD card. In my case it's 'D:\' but you may need 'E:\', 'F:\' etc. You should also uncheck the tick-box if ticked as below. Click OK.

Just to point out, the Skoda method is much slower so I'm still in the progress of creating the SD card. I'll confirm once it's worked :thumbup:

 

edit: Now completed without issue :)

My Superb iV 2020 ALLEGEDLY has an Amundsen satnav, but NO SD card or slot, according to my useless Skoda dealer, who is unable to help. (They say that if I drive there - 20 miles each way - and pay them £125, they'll do it for me, but I don't trust them).

 

There are 2 USB ports - a USB C by the gear lever and a USB A in the central box. Does anyone have any advice on how to update the maps in this configuration, please? According to the MIB 3 instructions (which also doesn't have an SD card) the USB drive should be plugged in permanently. The car has never had a USB drive plugged in. Anyone have any experience of this?
