Hi,

I've spent my afternoon trying to update the map on my car, but no luck sofar. I want to get the full europe coverage as I travel a lot and I always find useful to get a backup sat-nav in case android-auto fail or something goes wrong with my phone. Currently, I'm using the ECE 1 2023/2024 version.

Attached are the version of my current navigation, and the general firmware info.

Here is what I've done :

• Download the map from skoda update portal (STD2_2610_EU_AS_2026), unzip it and put the files on a SD Card (not the original one that was in the system). Card formated in exFat, 4096 allocation. Card is 64GB.

• When I put it in the system, it's not recognized as an update, nor a proper navigation dataset.

• I then update the whole MIB unit, with that same SD Card from P0475 to P0480T without any issue.

• Tried again the map, doesn't work.

• Tried with the ECE1 from 2026, doesn't work either.

• Tried formatting the SD Card in FAT32, same issue.

• Tried with a USB stick that is recognized by the unit (it usually have my music on it), doesn't work either.

So, what is preventing me from updating the maps? I really don't want to pay for an OEM card when I can do the update myself.

Hello Jon, welcome to the forum.

Your Amundsen MIB2 unit requires a genuine VAG SD card for GPS maps - it will not work with a standard SD card.

Hi Warrior, thanks for the answer.

So I'm forced to buy one from Skoda?

No, Patch the unit for every sd Card

How can you do that?

ToolBox

Can't do that, as my odb11 device is first gen, so I can't unlock the green menu.

It's because old app doesnt allow to unlock dev mode, and new odb11 app doesnt support gen1 devices. Guess I'm screwed and have no choice but to buy an official sd card...

copy new maps to original CD card, where is the problem?

optional, save as backup previous content of original card to PC

No, there are plenty of online suppliers of correct card, you will need 32gb for full European maps.

I only have a microsd reader, so the original card doesnt fit in. Also, newer maps are more than 16GB.
