Also point out this on the thread. Evident it also fixed MartiniBs "long standing issue" but I dont reckon its for the novice thou.

Hi guys,

 

2017 Octavia 3 with Amundsen MIB2 (MST2_EU_SK_AU…).

Downloaded the latest ECE 2025/26 maps from Škoda portal (STD2_2510_EU_AS_202525.zip).

After extracting I only have the “maps” folder + one .md5 file – no meta/, poi/, content.lst, metainfo2.txt etc.

 

Car says “Please insert disc with valid navigation data” and refuses to load.

 

Can anyone please share the working “meta fix” package or full ZIP with correct structure (meta + poi + content.lst + metainfo2.txt) for Amundsen?

 

Thanks a lot!

Well you are on the wrong thread for starters. This is a mib3 thread.

Hi and merry X-mas everybody!

What I don't get if I have to copy the main folder with all the subfolder inside OR all the subfolder in the main root; last but not least: if I enter in the Engineering menu (pressing and holding MENU button) system asks me to update the maps but nothing changes, except I saw the firmware version to be updated only when car is parked (but it didnt' change anything after a 2h trip) otherwise, while moving nothing chjanges

If you look at the attachment on post 1 of here I attached all of the Vag pdfs on how to do it

https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib3-satnav-offline.472408/#post-5030964

Vag sites loose some of the information as they reorganise the site. The Skoda map update pdf for mib3 is there.

In the thread I reproduce MartiniBs map file links. Nudging it to start is covered but it will just pick it up once you push ignition then the process starts off. Similar to mib2 high map update it has a restart point if you turn off the ignition before its completed. So all of those on and offs sum to 40 minutes or so but get extended by the overlap time of the update.

The fly in the ointment as mib2 high is that the unit will do a signature check on the integrity of the files on the USB before it will actually kick off the update. It wont say you have failed the integrity check, just wont do the update.

The integrity check is failed if you dont present all files as required as per the pdf. No being clever. No edits. No nothing. No Macs. If you do use a Mac use CleanMydrive to remove Mac garbage from the file once the files are in the drive. Macs put some funny carriage, return line feed combination on to the files. The integrity check will look at the signature on the file do it's own thing and say these have been messed with, but won't tell you that.

So file presentation is crucial and has to be exact. Some old 7zip programs can give an issue so updating 7zip is useful. The built in File Explorer of Window 10 / 11 can be used for the unzip.

Another source of issues is not using exFat on the USB people have bees in their bonnet and want to use NTFS, dont. Another issue can be the use of usb a to usb c (anyhow the oval one) adapters. Some adapters are not fully wired for data just power. Why the Skoda recommends their Skoda one. Cupra recommends a Cupra badged one. Cheap ebay ones may not be fully wired. If you do need to use a USB a connection, get a reversible pen drive that has both on it or read the advert and make sure it says fully wired.

I unzipped the file using Windows explorer, so it looks like is NOT the right program to build the right “tree-line” in the root; even if I use a reversible USB C/A pen drive formatted as ex-fat.

I’ll try to build the right tree-line based on the linked post.

Attached is how I see actual tree-line

So I need to make folders named

MIB31_EUFB11

— MIB31_EUFB11001

— MIB31_EUFB11002

…

— MIB31_EUFB11901

MIB31_EUFB12

— MIB31_EUFB12001

— MIB31_EUFB12002

…

— MIB31_EUFB12901

etc. right?

You do also get other issues if its not that. Some zipped files un pack at the wrong level so that pdf shows how it should be. Failing that you do get other issues which @MartiniB be has mentioned in the past. Basically the unit gets stuffed so you update the map with a previous history one then it takes the update. Weird. I dont have mib3.

Using Winzip is then useless at this point, better using 7zip, correct?

7zip is the Vag recommended way of doing it.

Ok thanks!

EDIT: 7zip extracts the folder as Winzip, why?

Edited 26 December, 202526 Dec by Benja77

Why 7zip is preferred as that during the unzipping process other programs can slip in that off character that destroys the integrity check. It has to unpack exactly the same way as it was zipped.

Notice MartiniB lists of two different European files in the above.

The fix that helps some people is here:

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/532756-mib3-map-updates-202502-06/page/3/#findComment-5970567

However, this might not be your issue. Presentation of the files exactly as expected is the key and you don't get any help from the unit if it doesn't read them. Unlike Mib2 standard, you can't pick and choose the internal files and mess about with the download. It just won't take it. The files are signed as a package, and that package is what it's expecting as it does that audit.

Edited 26 December, 202526 Dec by Tell

I opened the db as You showed in the link but I cannot reconstruct the correct tree-line

You drag and drop all of the contents into a blank USB at the route level then you are done. Otherwise it's one of the niggly issues as referenced above. I'm hoping @MartiniB will jump in if Ive missed anything,

That’s what i did but maps didn’t update 😅

Attached You see my information screen

Edited 27 December, 202527 Dec by Benja77

it’s weird system doesn’t get the update

Edited 27 December, 202527 Dec by Benja77

The screen shows you are on 25.8. You are trying to update to 25.6 so obviously it will not update because 25.6 is not an update it's two months behind.

The car comes with over the air updates which are free for a contracted period then you pay to have connected services extended, obviously you have an update. A basic test you do is to read that information screen of YY.MM and you only do the manual update which is what this is, if the manual update betters what you have and you have chosen to save money by not paying for connected services. Hence the manual update.

Connect services are not available in all countries and in that case you use the manual update. Your dealer should be able to tell you when connect services for the car runs out or it's in the paper work. Personally I would always pay for connected services.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

I’ve no update available yet.

However I use a Mac, so the info telling it best to use a windose machine is very helpful.

Thanks

CleanMyDrive does get rid of the characters, there is also another way of setting filters which has the same effect.

Edited 28 December, 202528 Dec by Tell

Does someone know, when will skoda release ECE 2026 maps? It has always been late December. Thanks

that were Mib2 maps, which had titles from half year future (but content half year old)

& on that we have had the November release so we are all uptodate as per @MartiniB 's links.

One click back. Mib2 standard appeared early. Mib2 high about in the right window. Nothing new until the June releases before June fingers crossed on that one.
