Thank you very much.

thank you!

I just checked the Skoda update portal (https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/) and entered my VIN and got this message: "Information on this VIN was not found." First time I have seen this, I'm hoping it's a bug but concerned that this may signal the end of free map updates for my vehicle (68 plate Karoq). 

 

Anyone else with a similar era vehicle able to check? I'm hoping it's just a temporary bug...

Ah, false alarm - it seems to be working again now. For a while I thought Skoda had pulled the plug on Amundsen MIB2.

Thank you

Many many thanks

One of the files in the Skoda download (ECE1) keeps failing to extract: routing.nds

 

Have tried extracting using the default Windows 11 extraction tool and also using 7-Zip and get the same result.

Interestingly (worryingly?) I am now getting this message on the official map update site: "There are no map and software updates available for this VIN".

 

Seems coincidental that this message has coincided with a recent map update, because I only checked it a few days ago and there was map data available to download. 

Thank you

Can disregard this, the Skoda site seems to work again now and lists ECE 1 2024 (valid since CW 45/2023) as the latest map version. 

 

The problem I highlighted in my earlier message about an error when unzipping the file still remains. I may just wait for the official site to be updated and carry the new map version. 

You just use the latest map that is released which unzip correctly whether on one of MartiniBs found web link or website wrapped by one of the Vag brands. They are all the same files. It's like a library. New books come in but are put at the back waiting for a cover and card folder put in - old talk. In terms of release, the Vag website puts these out in June / November of each year. You can always wait for the brands release or just get it out from the backroom, the file server.

 

MartininB lists are the direct fileserver links, you don't have to wait for the librarian, in this case the web site author to wrap the page around it. It's just map production from the cartography companies via an intermediate to get it in a form to upload into the car. Skoda seems more prone to zip errors where there programs fail. VW tend to be the gold standard, so first call of choice of map file. Better resourced.

 

7zip is the recommended unzip free program. Vag recommends it although Windows 10 / 11 now have unzipping programmes built into the file managers which will unzip the file without the user knowing its been unzipped. They tend to work well. Zip and 7zip are the two file type extensions you see on map files. Windows file managers have been extended to seamlessly see 7zip files of recent.

 

As for timeliness, Skoda lost a 6 month period about three years ago so they always lagged behind VW. You were better off using VW files rather than Skoda. Production delays in VW files for release in November 2023 on mib2 standard have led to a time slip on VW files. The  November 2023 VW release came out on the file servers in March 2024. Wrapped in a webpage now. That probably means they have scrapped what would have been the March release so the next release will be November 2024. Us people in the know took the March 2024 release off the filestore. We wait to see the November release later in the year.

 

German Skoda websites also carry these links but are slower to find them and put them up. More time squabbling with each other 🤣. They are a useful read to cross check what they have. The Russian sites find the raw files not linked to file servers not in their links. They are Audi files, part of the Vag brand, but these get published as the files dumped in other areas not linked to Vag file servers except they have been copied from them. Mibsolution.one carry some of these files or links. It varies, a hobbyist operation.

Well Skoda has released the same map files as linked above (ECE 1 2024/2025, valid since CW 25/2024) and I have exactly the same file error when unzipping, both in Windows 11's default app and using 7-Zip. The aforementioned ROUTING.NDS file appears to be corrupted. Would be helpful to know if anyone else experiences the same issue.

 

I want to try the Europe wide map (ECE A1) to see if it has the same issue, but unsure if I could just use the ROUTING.NDS file from there instead - does anyone know what this file actually does and if they are interchangable between different map sets?

I am getting checksum errors when I try to unzip ECE 1 2024/2025  CW 25/2024  

I then downloaded ECE 5 and it worked ok - I only want the UK so it is ok, copying to my card as I type.

Good to know it's not a problem at my end. Just emailed Skoda customer services about it, let's see what they say.  

ECE 5 2024/2025 worked fine in my mib2.

Thanks, useful to know that the issue seems isolated to ECE 1.

I'd try to use VW versions where possible.  Better resourced.

 

Think now we are on hold till November all mib2 maps are now out.

What do you mean, better resourced? Aren't they just the same map files being released across VAG? Why would they go to the effort and expense of creating 3-4 different versions of the same thing?

 

Anyway, I had an update from Skoda - they tried to direct me to a Skoda retailer (suprise suprise, where have we heard that before?) until I kept insisting that it was nothing to do with my vehicle, it's about corrupt map files. 

 

They eventually directed me to email [email protected] which I have now done. Awaiting further response...

They often fail on zipping them. Us mere mortals use 7zip they probably use some Linux

Library and make a pigs ear of it. The same output is given to the brands which is designed to be used across the brands... just not zipped. That's when they make a pigs ear of it in the final stage of putting it on their servers.

+ half year delay

Ah but if you think the Skoda files have secret sauce 😉

Skoda came back yesterday to ask me to try downloading and extracting ECE 1 again and it seems to have worked without any errors now. Not tried it in the car yet, but touch wood the issue has been resolved by Skoda.
