I am a new owner and first ever Škoda Octavia 2013 so think it’s a mk3. I am finding it confusing regarding map updates and any other updates that I may need or worth doing like firmware etc. I am not even sure exactly what unit it is. The maps are well out of date, so I removed the official Škoda sd card and downloaded the maps and put onto the card. It has updated the maps but the map version didn’t change but it has definitly updated.

 

Should I update firmware and if so any info would be great.

Also is there a way of updating all radio logo’s in one go, it’s seems silly having to do them individually. I have attached some pics. Many thanks for any info.

Hello, it seems you have the latest firmware.

You unit is most likely an Amundsen mib1.

You will not be getting any recent maps on this unit, skoda stopped updating them about 5 years ago.

 

For the radio logos, I can't tell, I think it should be automatic.

 

There is a work around to get a more recent map update as per the attached thread. The second to last post is mine, which if you expand show instructions for getting the map update. . You can see my screen shots showing the latest map date available and also my version number, which is later than yours.

 

This is the thread to help you get the latest firmware version.

Thanks, I will have a look at that. I did see you have updated to 6230, I have that ready to update firmware but a little worried if I totally knacker the head unit 😂

Thanks Ords, I have completed the 2023 map update and like you I didn’t have to change any files. Is it worth me doing the 6230 firmware update and would I benefit from anything new? Thanks again.

Personally, I didn't see any difference and was underwhelmed by the whole experience🙂
