Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

[exciter]

Nice to hear it is working for you.
Weird that my system reboots with 0730, since we have exact the same hardware ;-)
Got my16 2.0tdi, 6,5 nav. System sw:0245 hw:h24.... Car came with v1 0430 card. Needs further investigations I think.

I was hoping there would be a simple plug update card. All this computer geekery is way beyond me!

How often, and how long after starting, did you get the reboots? I've only done a couple of short journeys since Sunday (20 mins or so each way) without any reboots, but I know that's not really confirmation that it's working properly.

One thing I have noticed is that postcode input is significantly different. Before you had to properly format them with the space between pieces, now they go in as a single text block (AB12 3CD is now AB123CD). Annoyingly that means my last destinations menu doesn't work, as the postcodes are all in the wrong format

Hello All

Just bought a SEAT leon fr 2013

I just can't get to grips with the media system! Was hoping you could link spotify to it?
It also has all the previous owners contacts addresses on it etc.

Does anybody know how to clear and update it all?

jumping from a pants citroen c3 to this has messed my head up!

thank you all

That sounds very promising! As I have a lease car I don't want to screw this up and would appreciate any feedback from others trying this. As soon as I get another suitable SD card I'll try it myself to a new card.

Hi All,

Im new here, but seem to have made a boo boo with my sat nav. Ive got a 65 reg Seat Leon FR ST. Copied contents of original SD card to laptop hard drive, dropped the new download onto my original SD card and it didnt work. Im going to try the above as per exciters instructions but Im worried that I may not have fully copied the old sd cards contents.

In the root I have one folder called maps and in this the complete contents.

I have a feeling there was a txt document in root but Ive either lost it/deleted it or whatever. Can anyone confirm if its just the maps folder I need or is there something else Im missing?

well, your chances are not very hopeful. you got no choice but to try to see for yourself i'm afraid. its not been confirmed exactly what it is that the Seat audio system uses to "pair" the card with the car. tests have included name of card, contents, etc but it still doesn't seem to care. The obvious choice is the unique serial number of the card, but if you remove the files and replace them, as what you have done, it still doesn't work so it must be more than just that.

I've no idea how or why this information has not been leaked by the headunit manufacturer or someone at any number of the VAG related companies.

I thought Id totally covered myself by making a copy, gutted it now doesnt work. Im just extracting the latest 0730_MP161-1231a.xEUR1 file and I notice there is a text file there in root. Im not sure what effect it has on things but Ill play some more.

Car is booked in for a while you wait appt, he said worse case £100 for a new card or maybe an hours labour which isnt much cheaper. Annoyed is the understatement for the day.

More annoyingly I get "The Source contains the navigation database" - sound promising

Then I get "navigation database not available"

I thought I'd share my results for anyone interested.

First off the car details to help people decide if this will work for them;
UK 65 Plate (MY16) Leon ST 2.0 TDI FR Tech Pack
with MIB2 Media System Plus Navi (not High), hardware H24, firmware 0245 nav DB 6PO, V430 maps on what appears to be a SEAT badged Lexar 16GB SD card.

I downloaded the full EU1 0730 maps from here:

h*t*t*p://w*w*w.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqEurope-Site/-/-/-/View-Promo?cwt=application/ApplicationFrame_campaign_light&Page=SEAT_Leon_Standard_2&NewDomainName=Navteq-NavteqEurope-Site&HideCrumb=true

I backed up and deleted the map files from my original V430 card and extracted the contents of the 0730 download to the root of the original SD card and tried it in the car.

As expected this did not work as, being in the UK, I do not have map care.

I then followed exciter's suggestion and replaced the 0730 maps/EEC/EEC_WLD/OVERALL.NDS with the original file from my V430 card.

This appears to work in the car. I've only run it for around ten minutes, inputting multiple destinations in a variety of different ways. So far it has worked without any restarts or other issues. It is noticeably quicker at route calculation and I will post an update after I've used it for a while or if I run into any issues.

I also tried the above steps using a Sandisk 32GB SD card I had lying around. This was not recognised at all by the car, though I did not try changing the cards CID as suggested by exciter.

Hopefully that helps some folks in the UK. It's quite hard reading this thread to find out which solutions work for what hardware/software/country combinations.

Ive just done this and success! Thanks for posting, I was seriously peed off earlier that I was unable to fix it so happy to have a working sat nav and the latest maps too!

I've just done this with success on my 6PO navigation! Many thanks!

Any enterprising soul tried with the SSD version. You would have to get that file / directory off the unit I guess.

Navigation Plus 2016 update

My Leon is in for service tomorrow bought new April 16. The Navigation version is:-

Has someone

Dear all,
I wanted to try the update for my seat leon. I made a backup of my old version and tried the new one. Since I do not have the "Map Care" option, the update do not work.
My issue is the following, for a reason that I do not know some of the maps disappeared from my working initial version.

Does someone have the following maps: France, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and Denmark

for the following version:

PartNumber1="8V0919866B "
PartNumber2="5G0919866F "
PartNumber3="5E0051236C "
PartNumber4="5F0919866F "
PartNumber="8V0919866B "
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0036"
SystemName=" ECE 2014 "

Thanks!!
Cheers,
FatFab

So forgive me for being thick, but are we now able to upgrade MIB2 sat navs to the latest maps using this method?

I have had my brand new MY16 since October 2017, and think my SD card is V1, so not sure if an update is available yet...

Since October 2017 eh? Is your other car a DeLorean?

Hiya guys. I have a Map SD card new unopened that I have bought off ebay. part number 5F0919866H (V5). I checked with my main dealer to see if they would tell me if it would work in my 13 plate leon but they said it wouldnt as I need 5F0919866C (V2) which is what ive already got. I'm thinking they have just said no so I have to buy it directly from them which I'm not doing. Can someone confirm with me that the V5 will work in my car if I just swop out the old SD card for the new one?

 

[kiddo]

Have you got the new card? Just try it in your car to check compatibility.

 

[santi]

It arrived today yea. My issue is if I open it up, try it and it ends up not working it will be worthless. I can send it back and get a refund aslong as its unopened. Which is why I'm asking on here so hopefully someone can confirm yay or nay.
