Hi, i have a question about maps.

 

My columbus is mib3 and firmware is 0270. Because new map data is available, i want to load it. As far as i know my columbus is mib 3 and i can only use mib 3 maps.

 

But, for the last map data(November) i could not find a data including mib 3 data, but for example May 2023 map datas were also in mib 3 like mib 1 mib 2  and maps.

 

If there is a member knowing these issues please help me and so make use latest map.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

By the way, i loaded 25.2023 map several weeks earlier, which one i downloaded  from offcial site and the map's data is 12.22 . Because of this, i need last map for  mib 3 columbus.

If you are doing it off line use MartiniB's pinned post for Mib3 but that will reflect about six months before. Online maps will always being more recent, but question is the value of them. If you have connected services, you probably strike a route across Europe, and it will bring back the online update if it's more up to date... if that's your question.

 

It's normal the website wrapped maps won't be the one MartiniB is posting since they are found maps waiting for staff to amend the web page to point to them. Nothing new here, it's always been like this. It's like a library of old where you see the new books behind the counter but have yet to get a plastic sleeve and a wallet inside them 🤫.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I am doing it offline as you said. As far as i understand, there is no mib 3 map belongs to November 2023 and i should wait for new map for mib 3. It seems that 25.23 version is the latest map which is usable for me.

 

 

So, i will try @MartiniB map and load as soon as possible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

                                                                                

 

 

Use the first one on the line that MartiniB marks up as VW. Not sure whether they were RoW maps you  were interested in but the Skoda issue of how they produced them is still in the Skoda RoW one... on another thread. Better off always picking the VW links they tend to be more sound. The Skoda map files have less QA when they are generated from the source material to the production files.

 

MartiniB's links are the ones identified ready to be published or have been published whilst the website ones will obviously be older if not published yet. The 350 ones I've been using since October is yet to be published by VW. The golden rule, map files interchangeable to between brands. VW one's tend to be less buggy. I believe are all produced by the same company but Skoda grabs the wrong ones / incorrectly zips them etc. Given a choice use the VW links.

Have a look at this one https://www.aawireless.io/. I've fitted this to my MIB 2 Columbus not had any issues.

 

Where/how do I access @ martinib map files

Mib2 high is this one:

 

 

That is where I was saying best to use the VW ones of the VW / Skoda ones. I'm on the Audi 350 one on the mega link which has been totally fine. Didn't bother re-installing it for the VW / Skoda release of the same map. The Audi one got leaked early. Audi maps get released on a closed group by Vin.

As you advised, i downloaded 25.23 mib 3 map which is vw release and from MartiniB' post. But, because the weather conditions are very harsh here,i will load the map when the temperature becomes reasonable,

I just checked the Map version in my Amundsen in the Karoq and it is V03959820MP. Which version is that ?.

Mib3 if device has USB Type C

Mib2 if maps are stored on SD Card in Glove box

 

 

Oh MartiniB cross posted my offering on the subject 🤣

 

Better off quoting the number

 

xxx means it's probably a mib2 high

 

xxxx means it's probably a mib2 standard

 

xx.xx means it's a mib3

 

Once one sees the code one can place it if it's a mib2 standard or mib2 high.

 

That code you quote comes out as a part code for each Vag brand. So an xxx would produce 4 or so variants for the brand it was put in. It sits in the code of the map if put in this brand show this code etc. But also in the map information screen will be the seriel release.

 

The other way is MartiniB's. See an Usb C it's mib3 that wilĺ be xx.xx etc.

 

So an SD card in a Skoda means an Amundsen (spelling, mib 2 standard). Working without a map card then it's a Columbus (mib2 high). Mib2high 2015/6 - 2019. Mib3 2020 and on. Prior to 2016, definitely 2014 and before a mib1. Cross over period for mib1 to mib2 2015.

 

Seeing the x business sorts it out. Generally don't work in series part codes but the generic map release across the brands. Go too far back in those x's and you'll hit mib1 🤤.

too many x's 🤣
