Some people like to wait that long thinking Skoda or Seat has a better taste to the digital product not that it's byte for byte identical. I note the German Skoda board is similar with people wanting to use a download from the Skoda portal rather than the direct web link or the VW file which is the best used on server response historically.

 

Over a month ago if you used that Audi download bless them.

 

No sign of the Mib2 Standard release, which will be six months ahead of the Skoda one. Wonder if they have hit technical production problems with that.

Škoda's zip also were fixed ~2 weeks ago

 

It's not helped when Skoda gets it wrong then the mibsolution people publish a fix when the VW was one was already out. Certainly, the Audi one six weeks before. Like the blind leading the blind. Use the first one that comes out and works. Hard luck for the brand that gets deemed as the one with the download that didn't work, since they published a duff one.  Skoda seems to mess up zip files fairly frequently.

 

The golden rule, all map files are interchangeable between VW / Skoda / Seat and Audi for Mib2 high. Only exception was when Seat was left out of the parts definition / FeC on one six month release a few years back. A misunderstanding or something with the brand members, somebody didn't attend a meeting. Subsequently, corrected, but if they do it again, you just add the navigation FeC of the one that worked. Why I now have Seat and Skoda navigation FeCs on my car. Could not be bothered to delete the unwanted FeC. Audi and Seat drivers have the special need of having the life long navigation FeCs installed either via the Mib2 high toolbox as DIY, or one of the AIO firmware upgrades via DIY or paying a retrofitter to do it. Something that VW and Skoda owners need not bother themselves about sincve they have the all important navigation "life long" FeCs installed.
