They are twice a year on the official release as per your weeks. November and June but the files are produced before that then if you are lucky the brands website will show them. Vag and their map production suppliers Here Maps (mib1, mib2 high, mib3) and Tom Tom (mib2 standard) now have their map production streamlined. They have to have it streamlined for the monthly mib3 connected services update. Thus I believe why we saw the November releases months ago way before November. They sat in the fileservers but not wrapped in a web page. It's just how it is now except at some stage mib2 might not be supported but we'll see.

Would be nice if they fixed the TMC in the next MIB2 standard update.

Surely enough time has passed for them to patch and QA that in.

Afraid TMC is disappearing into the mists of time as far the mib2 standard. There won't always be mib2 standard map updates and a mute point as to when they may finish. You can have them with old maps when Here Maps was doing the cartography and the software surgery that @pcbbc showed. Mib2 high maps uptodate with the simple TMC group change to Inrix again as @pcbbc provided and they work dandy.

On mib2 standard (Amundsen) using the old maps from several years ago you get caught out by road changes and those new 20mph speed limits. In the end as far as this household was concerned decided it was better to know the indicated road speed digitised onto the map, than old road speeds, with older map but with TMC. Least the driver said that (living in the land of 20mph in built up areas - which people liberally disobey). Keep the SD in the car just in case there is a change of mind so we have both alternatives. My car with mib2 high no issues with the VCDS code change (all on the threads here). New roads, new speeds and Inrix TMC in a Vag car 👍.

Looks like MIB2 update is published now - currently downloading ECE 1 2026.2 (CW 6/2026) from the Skoda update portal...

Coded as 2610 on the download release which would be newer than the one @MartiniB has posted up and what I downloaded from that. I'll be told if I'm wrong 😉. The other one was ECE 26 this one is ECE 26 / 27. Will let MartiniB post up the file links but this is different to the one posted up in the summer.

Will download the one that better pertains to the UK and test tomorrow. Downloading the all Europe one at the moment. Looks like they updated their library 🫡. Still life in the updates.

Seems fine, I loaded up both the all Europe and the A2 version. Did the demo drive that the unit can do. Seemed OK. The files have increased in size since the July version posted on the top of the thread. Did a quick check to make sure it wasn't the same file but relabelled. It's still TomTom cartography so no change in TMC not working on the updates. On the positive side, those 20 mph speed limits are in the system.

They have a "windows.net" in them as an example:

Well I've used @MartiniB proforma of names and edited in what we'd expect.... happy days and all that wait for the official MartiniB links. They might not all pick up the files:
