I have a 2013 Skoda Superb 4x4 Estate and I am trying to update the Maps, I have downloaded the relevant update files from the Skoda Portal onto a 32G SD card but I cannot see on the unit how you initiate the update, and help much appreciated.

A 2013 Superb with have a RNS-510 style Columbus fitted so the maps on the Skoda portal won't work - they are for newer MIB style headunits.

 

You'll need a map update DVD. Dealer prices are super high but there are plenty of cheaper copies available online 

 

The latest update for the RNS-510 headunits is V17 from 2020, I don't believe there will be any future updates I'm afraid...

Thanks for the information, do you happen to know if the old Columbus headtunit and be replaced with a newer Amundsen  unit?

You can fit the RNS-310 or RNS-315 style Amundsen/Amundsen+ pretty easily but they are also old and won't have new map updates.

 

I think you're asking about the MIB STD2 PQ style Amundsen as fitted to the 2015+ Skoda Yeti, that's also a yes but it's more work. If I remember correctly, you would:

- need a wiring harness adaptor

- possibly re-route the microphone wiring

- have the headunit 'hacked' to remove component protection and enable all features

- possibly other work if your car has a factory amp installed

 

You might want to speak with @pab567 as he knows the details and can supply units ready to fit 👍

Indeed, I can

Hi Pab567

 

Be great to hear your recommendations 

Does anyone know where I can obtain the dvd or just the file to burn to DVD for the V17 RNS 510 Headunit?

I have the map, though never tried to use as mine is Amundsen unit.  Welcome to download and try (needs dual layer DVD naturally)

My recommendation is always the same - MIB STD2 PQ unit
