Is the latest map update for the Amundsen infotainment system really 2020/21??


Recommended Posts

I have a 2014 Octavia Scout (which I would have replaced by now if only an Octavia with all-wheel steering was still in production). I have just tried to update the GPS map for the Amundsen infotainment system fitted to the car, but the latest version available at the Skoda update portal is 2020/21, which is the version currently installed. Is there really no way of obtaining a more recent update??

VAG/Skoda don't update maps for more than 5 years after the infotainment system stopped being used in production.

 

A 2014 Scout will have a MIB1 Amundsen which was last used in production in mid 2015, hence the newest maps are 2020/2021.

Thanks - guess I was expecting too much!

scroll up! i posted it already. Did it myself just 10 mins ago. Use the same SD card you have in your current system and just drag and drop the new files.

Updating my MIB1 Amundsen firmware later today to 490

I did that a few years ago and to be honest didn't notice any difference. However it could be that without the update you won't be able to load the 2023 maps. Just my thinking.

I'm clearly being stupid, but where exactly? Blowed if I can find it!

I think peeps are missing the difference between MIB2 (on cars between 2013 and 2017) 

That's not correct, 2013 to early 2015 cars had a MIB1 system not a MIB2. The change to MIB2 happened around Q2 2015.

 

MIB1 maps stopped being issued in 2020/21 (5 years after the last production date).

 

MIB2 maps are still being issued  (but later than usual) - I've just updated to the 2024 maps.

You are right....I've deleted my posting. Sorry...was thinking about a different setup. Yes, MIB1 systems are no longer updated. However what I will say is that it is usually (relatively easy) to upgrade from an MIB1 to an MIB2 system (with larger screen). The OP can contact @pab567 who can assist with that if they wish.

Hello. I have same problem. Webside don´t working. Please someone who has the file downloaded. Let that file upload it to another repository and share the link. Thanks ;) 

I've just tried the website & it's working.  I did this update without any problem a few weeks ago. Download the 2 files separately.  Delete the old files from the sd card (make a back up copy first) then just drag the new files onto the card.
