Macs are a bit more problematic as they put some 'hidden' files on the card which confuses the head unit

+VW's links

[Tell]

That's Mib2 high only on the Mega link. Works fine.

[MartiniB]

i did compare archives -
in Audi were 11 extra files
in Škoda were 369 extra
but files, which are present in both, have identical content with just different Date Time

 

[Tell]

Sounds good.

 

I'm assuming the file is unzipping fine now since you did the comparison.... eh no just checked.

Edited 15 November, 2023 by Tell

[MartiniB]

interesting, that 11 Audi files just partly covers damaged in Škoda's zip, which were skipped during extracting

 

 

\Mib1\metainfo2.txt presents only in Škoda's zip

\Mib2\metainfo2.txt contains huge list of diffs

 

[Tell]

Reckon best not to use the Skoda ones at this time since you can't till they sort the issue out the zip issue and the Skoda mib3 on the other thread seems to have people having issues with it. That needs more people to look at it to see whether they are just head unit difficulties or a duff file. Feels like Skodas QA on map files has gone a bit off.

[Tell]

They have fixed the un zip error now on the Skoda link

 

Opening up without an unzip error now

Feel free to check it. I'm not going to re-install the same maps - I'm happy with the Audi ones.

[MartiniB]

added VW's links to head post,

content isn't checked yet due extremely slow download

 

[Tell]

The first one is trundling away at 30+MB/sec.... the second VW link think there is an issue with it.

 

ok

got one CRC err at 82% unpacking,

but broken file \Mib2\NavDB\FranceNorthWest_eu\0\default\FranceNorthWest_AdvancedMap2D.psf is ok in previous archive

Unzipped without errors here using 7zip

 

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

 

Windows 64 bit.

 

The built-in Windows 11 7 unzip function turned into a disaster, said it was going to take a day. Reverted to trusty 7zip which you are supposed to use based on VW recommendations.

 

MartiniB I think you once had a transmission error that caused you difficulties in the past 🙄.

[Tell]

Here's my unscientific quick and dirty comparison between the Skoda and VW files:

 

 

Unzipped the file size is the same which suggests it's the same file. You then have to workout the SLA1 check....

[Tell]

I did do the SHA256 check on the groups of files, and they are different 🙄. Basically the byte size is identical but the contents are different between Skoda and VW.

 

What I get on the VW one using the 7zip CRC check.

 

 

Scholars of this process you use

 

 

It's like a constructed finger print of the files.... they are different. Probably Skoda has yet to fix the issue ?.

 

Interesting page on the German Skoda board,,, failing at 82% on the Skoda file is common... pull out and push the SD card back in :). I'd stick to the VW link.

 

 

The fun.

Interesting the mibsolution.one board I noted yesterday had a code fragment to fix the Columbus download. Didn't mention it just not to cause confusion. So someone has the fix which they copy back into the Columbus download.

 

Best to use the first VW link on the top. Waiting for the first puff of smoke to say the VW link works. I'm sticking with the Audi 350 copy not re-running the import. Motto get in early with updates where the knowledge of what works is known. Those that delay find the knowledge gone later 🤣.

[itsbrun]

Hi I've just updated my Columbus mib 2.5 with your link above the VW lighthouse labs one , 

SanDisk SD card 64gb formatted to ex fat , 4096 bytes , extracted with 7zip . Extracted without errors and updated in the car without issue . I had failed with the Skoda update last week , I got the errors everyone else got but this one worked perfectly . Thanks to everyone for your excellent info 👌

[Tell]

& thanks to MartiniB's hard work. He doesn't have a mib2 high now (don't reckon) whilst I was sticking with the Audi release of 350 not wanting to mess up what I had. It was tricky with the German Skoda board to work out who was using what.

 

Sorted now. 👌

[Vlady]

Can I ask, what does this update do? Is it just maps that are being updated? I mostly use AndroidAuto for maps.

Thanks

[Tell]

Only maps.

[Danoid]

Hello,

Sorry just to confirm the latest link is https://infotainment-cdn.skoda-auto.com/base/maps/HIGH12_P350_EU_202345.zip ?

At the top theres 3 red exclamation marks and unsure the reason on this, the skoda portal still has the commencing week 22 which is ages ago.

 

Thanks

[Tell]

It's the VW link

 

VW portal:      https://vw-maps-cdn.lighthouselabs.eu/vw-maps/P350_N60S5MIBH3_EU.7z

 

That's proven to be fine for November 2023 (ECE 2024) aka the "lighthouse link". The Skoda one has had issues and was withdrawn from the webpage wrapper to it’s link to 350 back to 330. German Skoda community hacking that Skoda 350 file around to make good but the VW link above is fine.

 

Map files are interchangeable between VAG brands so you use the first one that works.... why I've got my Seat mib2 high running on the Audi release from 6 weeks ago 🤣.

[SpecialistZer0]

Thank you for this fantastic info, you've saved my sanity again.

[Bigeater]

Thanks for the link. Ive downloaded and unzipped the file.

Mine is an mib2 setup. Do i need to copy the mib1 folder to perform the update? Thanks.

[Tell]

You do. Everything on the zipped file is dragged and dropped onto the SD / USB. Attached is the VW pdf guidance. Although the directory is labelled mib1 it takes files from there as well for mib2. Its a question that comes up from time to time. Just the way files are stored but you need the whole lot over.

Thanks very much Tell 👍

Thanks @MartiniB, maps uploaded today but had to use a 64gb card for the first time
