hi are the 2026 satnav maps going to be released

Which ones ?. Mib2, 3 or 1...

1 ones were Audi files that took you to 2023. That you would suspect could be released again if Audi perceived a market. They were never free to Audi although you did get 3 years of them. These however could be used on other Vag brands P106 from memory. It is reference on this board, works with Skoda and Seat mib1 units but may need the latest firmware update for that.. 480 or there about.

3 well that is still rolling out

2... as in mib2. Now thats an interesting question. Mib2 Standard (Amundsen) 2026 was released way back in the summer. See @MartiniB threads above. To me it was released early as if to get it out. So I dont reckon you'll see that since you already have it off their file servers. It might not be wrapped with a web page.

The mib2 high (Columbus) I'm hoping there will be a release and I suspect @MartiniB and others are busy trying to sniff it out. That would probably be 420. However if production has finished on that 5 year cycle then @pcbbc said that the Audi release is likely to go on longer since the mib2 high unit was still fitted in Audi TTs some two years later from my memory.

Previous years early Audi released files for test purposes had found their way out on servers. Whether the November release in this form is available, I'm not sure. Russian web forums had the link to this previously. It did tally with what was finally released but prepared differently but useable. Just signed differently but same cartography files as the VW / Skoda one. Was useable.

I guess if the end of the road for mib2 high Skoda, Seat and VW files has been reached then as @pcbbc said the Audi one will go on, just a question of finding it. Like the mib1 there could be an out of period update. Paid SD card which is how the mib1 standard one was released.

Well it will be 430 based on previous mib2 high releases. They go up in units of 20 on the seriel release at six month intervals.

& it was this Russian website that had the early release of Audi compatible files for mib2 high in the past

*russian site link removed, given current geopolitical issues do we really want to send web traffic to known cyber security risk countries?

Thanks, Briskoda admin

Another one to keep an eye on if the release doesnt appear through official channels. In their tables they show June and December. May be Audi run a month later for December.

I must admit I'm getting slightly concerned that VW have pulled the plug on publishing updated map files so we might be scrubbing around in the future. @MartiniB references the legitimate files off the brands file servers. In the future to keep up todate we might have to checkout other places 🫣. There was also in the past a subscription British site that contained links to the early releases.
