Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

I'm running the 0915 but I thought by using the old file from the backup something didn't get updated or have I got the wrong end of the stick there.
Sorry haven't looked into it in detail as I have the Nav High system which can't be self updated without Mapcare.
I too have the high, but no if you did the card workaround for the standard mib2 you are fine, the three stage process where I number the backup step as (0) above. At worst it may set a VAG error code but you won't know about this yourself unless you have VCDS or Obdeleven or similar. I reckon people who have done it just get a code on the 5f unit if they scan for errors but it works fine with the error. That's what I've deduced from reading the thread. Somebody can check. I think it's an SVM error which means you have introduced an upgrade without authorisation. But don't worry
. There is a method for clearing these but I don't bother now with my SSD unit. Only an internal warning. You'll find these warnings mentioned in the thread.The file that is copied back is the top layer of the map database that is paired to the hidden partition which in turn is paired to the unit. It's just a frig that you can do it. It's like putting a newer addition of a book in another cover for an older edition....

Not fully
. Voice, inbuilt Poi's and 3D art plus the parameters on how it works like warning distances can but not the roads themselves with the technical work around I posted up which uses SWDL of the developers menu but you get in a pickle if you don't have a copy of the matching upload file if you do update the navdb files since it will lock the navigation screen untill you are a good boy again. Generation above the Navdb file lock the unit, you can go down below or the same. The other aspects you can upgrade. I'm now two years ahead on my original on that . You have to enable the developers menu with your OBD tools to get at the SWDL menu. Then you do a selective manual update of the files. Post 699 covers that.I've tried to be a bad boy plenty of times... still working on it

2018 / 2019 MIB2 Standard
Ok thanks to Ludo on the Seat Ateca side of the board here is the link to the Mib2 Standard 2018/2019 download otherwise called 1030. I can't test it myself. This will be for units identified with 6P top left in the normal screen to identify a mib2 standard on a Seat as per the Navigation here maps site.
The download will be EU1 from the file descriptor.
http://vw-mapscdn.tdd.adacorcdn.com/DiscoverMedia2_EU1_2718_1030.7z
It unzips to 12.5 GB (13,528,330,240 bytes) on disk, contains 5,887 Files, 862 Folders. The previous one (0951) unzips to 12.9 GB (13,852,707,481 bytes) on disk and contains 5,886 Files, 861 Folders. So one less folder and one less file and slightly less data that could be rubbish POIs removed or whatever. The missing folder is maps\00\sds\XK which possibly didn't need to be in the other release. Looks like the odd one out... Kosovo seems to have taken a dive in this release or gone somewhere else so I don't think we're worry unduly.
Basically once it's loaded up
we'd expect to see on the second line
1030
& on the third line
ECE1 2018 / 19
I guess it's going to be fine - will be interesting if it doesn't say that.
Post back with your success or otherwise. On a Google I think Ludo has found something that nobody else has posted up yet. Don't forget to do the step (0) above on the thread if you doing the workaround else you will be up that river without a paddle.

- Press the “NAV” Button.
- Confirm the “Setup” > “Version information” selection on the display.

It's going to be spot the new road, opened stores, car parks, road speeds etc. The Mib2 High one was actually dated December when it was frozen, so I reckon it probably reflects the summer 2017 taking in validation from their development database.
I see what you mean by Navcore
https://en.discussions.tomtom.com/g...xl-xxl-tomtom-home-23/what-is-nav-core-389906
It isn't that... that stays the same in these units it's the data it runs off which is the mapping data, voice, internal POIs etc which can be updated twice a year, June and November.

It always was . I suspect the other thread on changing your firmware is the one you may want . Too early for me. Nobody ever talks about the internal program just the map data here. I guess VAG reckons they have the software right, just the data that needs updating.
The Standard and Plus although look similar on the screen in some respects less the 3D building project are based on totally different programs and hardware. So basically that's the June update of the map data that's come in 169 and 1030 for high and standard respectively (2018/19) which are good till November.

If you don't have Mapcare strictly not but I recall you did but I guess thought you were updating the software but not the maps.
1030 is dated mid April 2018
I was keeping quite on the date of the 169 production but let is slip... now the Google people will say told you so ... just don't drive in tunnels or need lane guidance and you'll be fine. Horses for courses real time traffic reports verses the deficiency of it not being fully integrated.
I'm not sure if I have mapcare, it's a company car. How would I find out? I want to update the maps.
If it's a UK sourced car you haven't got it but then I thought you did the workaround above here with the last release, copying that file out and back in. The one with step [0] take a back up copy.
