As usual, thanks for the up to date information!

Consider adding Porsche PCM4.0 (Mib2H) to the compatibility list maybe?

@mrfix

Thanks! weren't informed about that

Well you look in the parts identification in the file and it identifies the part number against the profile of the unit. This release.

PartNumber1="V03959803A "
PartNumber2="V03959821CK"
PartNumber3="V03959821PD"
PartNumber4="V03959822PB"
PartNumber7="V03959817KA"
PartNumber5="V03959804QP"
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0410"
SystemName="ECE 2025/2026"

 

Variant="ECE"
ReleaseName="2025/2026"
DevVersion="P410_N60S5MIBH3_EU_NT_Q3.24"

PartNumber4 is always Seat. Those are documented (somewhere... Mr Bonk). It's whether the filters into the mib1 / mib2 script bypass Porsche PCM4.0 ?.

What we did find out once was that when Seat was left out of the FeC ID you could put a Skoda one in. So if you have got said Porsche mib2 high and it's not seeing it try entering the longline navigation Skoda FeC.

Wonder was partnumber 6 was ?. 3 Skoda. 1 Audi. 4 Seat. Porsche ?. Leave that to the youngsters without a fractured collar bone 🙄.

Most likely:

Audi: V03 959 803 A
VW: V03 959 821 CK
Skoda: V03 959 821 PD
Seat: V03 959 822 PB
Porsche: V03 959 817 KA
Bentley: V03 959 804 QP

@MartiniB Since Bentley had laso MIB2 systems (i have MHI2_ER_BYG24_P5160 and MHI2_ER_BYSUV_S2564 in my database), i believe that you can add Bentley Infotaiment System to the list.

From Mr Bonk material:

How to generate FEC codes for MAP support
0ABCCCDD — Maps6
:
• A Brand 2 = Audi, 3 = Bentley, 6 = Porsche, 7 = Sitz, 8 = Skoda, 9 = VW, C = MAN
• B MIB version 1 = MIB1 HIGH (Harman), 3 = MIB2 HIGH (Harman)
• ССС Region 000 = Europe, 100 = USA and Canada (NAR - North America Region), 400 =
Middle East (AGCC - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE), 401 = AGCC + Turkey, 402 =
AGCC + Israel, 500 = South Africa, 600 = Australia and New Zealand, 700 = India, 800 = Argentina,
Brazil and Mexico, 801 = Chile, 900 = Asia / Pacific, D00 = Rest Of the World (ROW - Rest Of the
World)
• DD valid until year (DD is Hex value)
DD:
• 4c= 2030
• FF = ~2075/Lifetime
Examples MIB2 High:
• Skoda: 0830004c → Europe until 2030
• Audi: 0230004c → Europe until 2030
• VW: 0930004c → Europe until 2030
• Seat: 0730004c → Europe until 2030


So you should see the FeC 063.... blah blah and that's the Porsche navigation FeC and you need a long life one. Bentley would be 033.... etc.


Probably Skoda owners don't also own a Porsche why it doesn't come up. We don't talk about Bentleys either 😉. Prefer a Bentley myself.

They might still have done the dirty and left out the navigation FeC and the part number in the steering scripts for mib1 / mib2. When they did that once with Seat I just turned mine into a Skoda and Seat so it runs with two long life navigation FeCs, one for a Seat and one for a Skoda just incase they get absent minded about supporting Seat again left it as is. Was a trick the mib enthusiasts gave me. I could see they could do that for the more esoteric brands.

Yes so perhaps with the esoteric cars you might need some navigation FeC surgery if they start to drop them out of total manufacturing of the upload... as what happened a few years back on Seat. You'd cross that bridge when you found it. Mr Bonk Github software was my friend and an expert who had solved it on Seat.

You'd check the navigation FeC. Adjust to long life using the Mr Bonk stuff if applicable... they had an IFS Root module written (Porsche was listed). I assume Bentley and Porsche hit you with mapcare so you need the life long FeCs. Then if it still doesn't take it. You do the FeC trick of making it another brand for navigation.

All clear as mud. Quite a few Audi drivers end up here having loaded up their version of the all in one software to handle mapcare. VW and Skoda had it for life. How far Bentley and Porsche owners have sorted that out pass... then as said Vag might have got absent minded about the manufacturing of these files for those brands. That can be doubt with.

Some time ago I attempted to create a FEC decoder.

Here's my list of brands encoded into the FEC:

  if($code=='02') return 'Audi';
  if($code=='03') return 'Bentley';
  if($code=='04') return 'Bugatti';
  if($code=='05') return 'Lamborghini';
  if($code=='06') return 'Porsche';
  if($code=='07') return 'Seat';
  if($code=='08') return 'Skoda';
  if($code=='09') return 'VW';
  if($code=='0A') return 'VWN';
  if($code=='0B') return 'Scania';
  if($code=='0C') return 'MAN';

Noticed that there's Lambo in there, but this might be a relict from the previous generation (Audi MMI 3G+ HN+) for the MH2P (MIB2 High Plus) and MPR3 (MIB3 Premium) units installed in Lambo.

Yes detailed documentation here. I've helped out Australians before getting the RoW code in. Pinnacle of mib enthusiasts work. They took the mib tool route for life time FeCs but got the European one. Simple enough to change to the correct one. It defaulted to the European one.

I wonder why they just don't add the RoW D00 code next to the EU 000 code. Unit works just fine with both codes installed...

Enough of the offtopic, before we get banned by admin. 😃

At the end of the day the mib2 high isn't fussed about whether you use Seat, Skoda etc navigation FeC codes but I do worry that the Bentley and Porsche file profiles might be like they did to Seat once why I said you can put the other brands in there. I did wonder what happened if you added Europe plus the RoW whether it worked the same... seems it does. For MartiniB testing since we never test our RoW then find people moan about issues. MartiniB doesn't have mib2 high now and I tend to just load Europe in... let RoW do their own testing.

It was a unit someone had bought via the net from the UK imported to Australia then it needed the life time RoW FeCs. Basic Mib2 higher education 😉. Do a bit when issues come up.

Hey guys,

I have recently purchased a 2018 L&K, and it seems like the firmware and the maps have never been updated:

image.pngimage.png

The map files I have downloaded from the Skoda portal are "HIGH2_P410_EU_202522". When I insert it via my portable 1TB SSD (I know this could be the problem), with exfat format and only the files, the sytem doesn't see any update files.

Also, while on my Infotainment Online trial subscription, I tried the Online update, but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere, it gets stuck in one place at EU common. If I choose only one country to update, then it runs towards the end, and stops at around 90% and doesn't do anything even after an hour.

I have also heard that I might not be able to update from 0166 to the current version directly, but I need 308 (?) first.

Can someone direct me into the correct direction, and maybe correct files as well?

I guess I'll need:

  • newest firmware (couldn't download, as mibsolution.one is down

  • 308 database

  • newest database

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry too much about the latest firmware. It will update to 410 directly from what you have without going through any intermediate stage. Use an SD card or USB in exfat with only the files on it un zipped with 7 zip. The attached PDF shows how they should be presented. 40 minutes or so should do it not that I do it that way.

All issue are generally presentation issues in how the unit expects to see the files. Assuming you didn't use a Mac else you use cleanmydrive. The built in filemanagers to unzip the zip file can lead to issues. You can't peak a look at the unzipped files and re save them. So it has to be unzipped files presented to the system as the metafile and the two subdirectories mib1 and mib2. Start it off and you'll be fine. 40 minutes with constant power should do it or a bit longer if not interrupted.

Discover_Pro_June_2020_EN.pdf

I have followed it so far, unzipped with 7zip, haven't touched the files inside.

Thanks for the firmware info, then I won't bother with that, but the navi would be important

I'll give it a new run tomorrow with reformatting and new extraction, and if still doesn't work, a new USB drive

If you try to use the SSD will probably see it as a massive drive and get confused. The manual will say 32gb or 64gb. Not 1tb. The units whilst they might give the idea that you are using a PC, they are emulating these file systems with constraints and they certainly don't like to see anything else on the presented drive other that what it's going to work with or big drives.

2025/26 map update,, I've downloaded the zipped file and unpacked it to a 64gb SD Card using 7zip but when i put the card into car it doesn't find the update. Had same problems on the last update what's going on .. any ideas greatly Appreciated

Assume we are talking about a Skoda. Other Vag brands Seat, Audi may hit you with Mapcare but then you should know about this.

I know once somebody said you didn't say left hand SD slot. I'd assumed they would use that. You pull out all other SD / USB drives during the process.

I'd format the card to exFat certainly. Funny sector size and it won't read the drive correctly. That's a Fat thing and you shouldn't be using NTFS.

So I'd reformat the card again. Only present to it the metafile in the root and the two subdirectories. Mib1 and mib2. Needs them both, it's known people have tried to be clever in the past and over think... I'll only give it mib2. No all three of those entities. Nothing else on the drive.

Then you kick it off with that update thingy as per the manual. It's true I've installed it on a Seat. I wouldn't have thought they would have left Skoda off the update as they did with Seat a few year back. It's going to be presentation difficulties more likely. The Mac OS where you need to use CleanMyDrive to dust off the garbage that Macs leave which mess up the checksums.

Try another SD card, will fit on 16gb now or USB. In the past people have said download again although the unzipping process via 7zip should be sufficient to identify any bad data connections that would have messed up the download.

Fingers crossed.


My method of working is download.

It's in the download directory

Make a directory where it's going to be unzipped to on the HD

Open up the download file with 7zip then just drag and drop all of it to the unzipped directory

Then copy the unzipped material to the blank SD card.

Thank you that sorted it out, the 7 zip didn't seem to unpack it properly so used the unzip file from my PC which took about 4 hours and worked great.. Last time had to use the 7-Zip Thanks again all

You might find a newer 7 zip. Skoda often if not always mess up making zip files. MartiniB swears by another program....

The corollary on the inbuilt filemanger unzip in Windows 10 / 11 I found it worked on mib2 high files, but much slower than 7zip as you found, whilst the file manager unzip messed up mib3 navigation files. It wasn't seeing one of the critical files when one was looking to decode mm.yy. Thus it might be a good idea to check you have the very latest release of 7zip. That's what I did when I found I had the issue with the built in unzip file manager. Vag suggest 7zip for mib3 navigation files you certainly need it over the in built ones, they have the TAR file type.

Edited by Tell

Many Thanks for the info downloaded the latest 7 zip file and all worked fine. Thanks

Installed and working perfectly on my Audi A4 B9. I downloaded and unzipped on my phone and copied to usb, no issues

Thanks

Edited by BooBoo124

Unzipping with fresh 7zip and using a proper usb drive instead of an external SSD worked like a charm!

Now on to firmware updates
