Well done. I was getting a bit concerned. Will test it later.

No issues:

Thanks.

My Audi A4 B9 maps updated fine today, via USB

The Russian haven't updated their site yet. They must be busy doing other things 😕

& results screen. No issues:

I noticed that. Discussion on one site about GPS jamming where they lived and the pros and cons of car v smartphone. The car came out better... probably since the GPS aerial is better placed on the roof, better choice of providers. Well if you do invade somebody else's country but its them doing the jamming 🫣. Had it once close to the Syrian border in Jordan but we also got picked up in a 4x4 with machine gun mounted as you do in the back. Rough travelling on the foor of one of those pickup by the Jordanian army. Taken back to the check point, passports checked and released. The hiking book took you close to one of their installations, sensitive areas, gave up with the Crusaders Cave walk 😂. Using OpenStreet on the trip. Anyhow without GPS you have to turn round and go back or face getting lost.

Wrong pic

Wrong picture ?. No... different system view.

Id uploaded the wrong pic that why I edited the post. I can't find a newer Gracenote version sadly

The demise of mibsolutions ?. I cant say I've knowingly used Gracenotes.

Good to get the map update since I can see my artistic handy work. 😄

This any good ?. You were at 24 whether that AIO is any later... pass. Over to you.

https://mib.plain.gg/MHI2%20-%20HARMAN/Gracenote

An Irish guy has reprovided mib solutions posted up on SeatCupra today. That's what is in under Gracenote.

The guys post arrived with this under a thread asking what's happened to Mibsolutions.

hey everyone! just thought i'd come out and share a little project i've put together in the last few days.
just like many of you i was frustrated with how long downloading firmwares, etc. was taking. i decided to rehost all of the files myself on a fast cdn. they are all now available at https://mib.plain.gg

now this is all in beta so if anyone finds any issues please let me know.

Ive got Gracenote v24 was waiting for v25 as V24 was released Feb 2024.

Thanks for the link though

Whether it's in that one below. I didnt open it up.

We'll be in trouble with MartiniB going off topic.

Edited 16 November, 202516 Nov by Tell

Thanks once again @MartiniB another successful map upload 👍

thankyou @MartinB for the 2026 maps

We must be getting to the last gasp for map updates. I was only able to purchase one year infotainment licence for my Columbus.

I assume that 2026/27 will probably be the last (but I am sure somebody more connected will confirm this)

I thought it was all free for Skodas ?. Mapcare is a purchased thing for Seat and Audi. Its governed by the navigation FeC. Unlimited FeC is what you wanted if you haven't got it. The the mib2 high experts found that the brand navigation FeCs are interchangeable I'm blessed with the Skoda and Seat one. Mib Tools high on Github does the trick. You have to pick the right one. The Mr Bonk one. Even if you have the unlimited FeC for a different brand the update works since the update is multi brand. It was the occasion once that the Seat one got dropped on once release so helpful souls took me through the process with Mib Tools. The code for my firmware hadn't been written, so they wrote it. Software patch.

The other way is you deploy an All in One (AIO) firmware update. That replaces the firmware and enables all the FeCs you might ever want. Another hobbyist solution. That is the one that Audi folk visiting here for map updates have in the main. Ditto Seat mib2 highs.

That brings us on to when the maps wont be produced. The Audi TT went on using Mib2 high beyond 2020 according to @pcbbc which means updates should continue for a bit. Just a question of laying your hands on it. Never say never. Mib1 standard got a 2023 release sold by Audi so if there is a need for it, it will be produced. That version is available in the wild. We might have to buddy up with our Audi friends if they arent on lesser mortal sites 🧡. Those Audi folk with AIO firmware will be looking. Audi owners still pay so the signs of non production will appear there.

typo

Skoda V03.959.822.HM 433 ROW 2026 updated correctly from SD however now it creates a route but will not nav (no prompts) and will not display street maps (best is 40km resolution). I'm in Australia. Anyone had this working after install?

No but I dont live in Australia. Suggest you look at the Map Creator Here Maps site, register and exam the road(s) in question. They have probably been dropped or there is an open joint. It happens. There is a form of AI that tosses out stuff on inspection then humans check. If it's not spotted and its some desert road (feel like a desert in Australia) a non connecting road at a T junction say that has got split out it would then take the long way round if installed in the car. Think there is a glandulatory thing between their systems as well so things fall foul of that. Once using Map Creator any edits you do you need to come back and check a week later, then a week later to ensure it's stuck and not got separated. Suspect someone hasn't done that so you got an open junction. The bottom row in map creator on the right give you a set of tools to check for consistency to you run along those making sure names are shown, one way streets etc. It also highlights where double tracks are. Open joints you have to visually check.

The HereWeGo app gives you an early preview of what has been passed from the developers database (that above) to production so if anything has been fixed and works in that but not released then you know it's been fixed.

Some of us, limited few had all the rights to look at the developers database using all the backroom screens. They thought it would increase their productivity but was open to abuse by a limited few so withdrew the developers stuff. Use to be able to call up mobile phone tracks to determine whether roads existed by the passage of the track. Their own workings on road developments etc with were yet open.

If you give the x,y coordinates of the start and stop positions I can look at it. Mind you if you are saying that its the whole of Australia that isnt working which you might be, that's a production problem that the Vag supplier has from the Here Maps files not a small cartography error.

If you need to go back to a previous version of the Vag map releases you can find that on MartiniBs files but you will need to enable the developers mode on your mib2 high, vcds or Obdeleven and use SWDL screen in the developers mode. You can then load up a previous release. It's the backend tool to the unit. Its a long press of the menu button, one screen opens, keep pressing, second screen then you see swdl. But you will only get this behaviour if the developers mode is enabled. Then with the door open for continuous power start swdl off, do all, play around with the menu buttons. A few reboots during the update, 40 minutes later you should see OK etc across the attributes.... that's if you are up to fixing it yourself with a previous release else you will need a retrofitter or wait till Vag sort it out that's if 433 is completely screwed.

PS re-reading feel like 433 is completely screwed unless its the FeCs but if it's a regular unit un touched by a retrofitter then it should work. The navigation FeCs come into it if they are not "life long" FeCs that does cause navigation to shut down. If it's a European import from a retrofitter or you have updated the firmware but that has given you European navigation FeCs, then you need to alter the FeCs to RoW.

It came up once with an Australian poster where I got them to alter the FeCs and it started working. They had used the all in one firmware update which landed you with European FeCs. The mib2 high tool kit, there are two, allows you to alter the FeCs, I think I got them to do that to correct it.

This one allows you to alter the FeCs

https://github.com/Mr-MIBonk/M.I.B._More-Incredible-Bash

Documentation in there of the FeCs. Then if yiu have used an AIO firmware update you can probably edit the FeCs in that using the documentation or run the Mr Bonk stuff. If its this somewhere on this site is my conversation with the Ozzie guy who had this issue. You will find it on a search... OK. Went in on the swdl screen.

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/518018-columbus-map-update-2024-mib12-high/page/3/#findComment-5829735

Its a conversation with @breaddownunder if you follow that through. May be your issue ?.

Saying that if it once worked with RoW maps but has stopped with the update and it's a factory unit not fiddled with then it will be a faulty update if the whole of Australia doesn't work.

Ok been round the houses as we say.

Edited 10 February10 Feb by Tell

Hmmm could be this

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/518018-columbus-map-update-2024-mib12-high/page/5/#findComment-5856640

If you have a mib1 they pulled support for map updates. It was a combined release for mib1 & 2 then with the recent releases on, only mib2 is supported. If you get these in a mib1... reading the description above, feels a bit like what you are reporting. You need to revert to an earlier map that supports mib1 if its a mib1 unit.

My push down memory pushed it a bit too far down. 😉 You'd think a mib1 high unit would trap a mib2 high only map file being loaded into it. If you are not sure what unit you have mibhelper web site may help.

You put your software train in and it tells you about your unit.

The user 'ixtra' has once again shared information about current maps in German forums!

MIB2 HIGH - P450

https://updateportalmaps.blob.core.windows.net/maps/HIGH2_P450_EU_202625.zip

Another update. We like them 👏. Try to load it up tomorrow.

Have you got the link to the forum so I can see what is being discussed.

@MartiniB onto sniffing out RoW. This one doesn't appear to be in the Skoda library via a VIN unlike the recent Mib2 standard.

Any success pictures, I'll put up.

Thanks. I'll try to load it this afternoon. I use SWDL so if there is an issue I can dig myself out. That's if I need to reinstall a previous. As you say it was a VW where someone said an issue but may have been those teething issues people get with unzipping and Mac OS etc. It unzipped OK. Test PM.

Seems to have installed as expected for me

As expected, it reports as 450 and 2026/2027.
