Unfortunately if you do have MIB1 you cannot update the maps, i'm sure only the dealer can do it.
SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

- Start date
Hi All,
Just got my first Leon, it’s 2016 FR. I’m wondering if I can update the software on the car to the latest version and how straight forward it is and what the risks are.
Current version information is
Device part number 5QA035858
Hardware : H24
Software : 0245
Navigation Database : 6P0919866D
0521
ECE 2016
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi,
You've got exactly the same setup as I have in my 2016 184FR. There are two updates that can be done, the first is to the software that runs the infotainment system (which is talked about in this thread) and the second is to the SatNav (which is talked about in separate thread 'Navigation System Updates'). I would forget about the first one as it's quite complex for little gain, but the second SatNav update is easy!
The most important thing to remember is to back up your SD card to your Pc/laptop, as you need to copy one file back.
Let me know if you get stuck!
I gave up trying to fully update the mib2 high maps as Walone knows after 17 months of trying. The developers menu via SWDL without Mapcare allows you to update voice, eggnog etc but not the Navdb directory which is the map file directory and released POIs. It locks you out if you go above the release map the car came with. The map upload is locked down so you cant edit the upload macro since it's signed. Then what gets loaded onto the device is signed again. I read the hex file where it talked about the ECU signature for the map, that's signed as well. So you can't get round it by editing the hex file either to make it into a lower release, even if you could edit the upload macro... I tried.
Mib2 High uses the same map upload as Mib1 High so it's been well researched since Mib1 High was released. Going retrofit with your unit is the only way... threw the towel in and followed Walones route of getting you unit turned into a retrofit so you can enjoy all the benefits of a retrofit
.Lingering here looking to see what software release Mib2 High users are on. Mines now
5F0035020G
1338
It was
5F0035020C
0674
Hardware H50, 2016 delivered Ateca
This is further up to Walones software release I know, but wondered how current it was.
Think I'll have a look at the Spanish Club Seat board in search of what releases the mib2 highs are on to place which version they used in the software patch. Would be nice to know when software 1338 broke cover and what was said about it. Any pointers ?. Hardware is H50.
Page 101 of the Spanish thread is where they start to change the H50 software / first mentioned. I think this sort of explains why I was turned away from the company last year that did it this year, since they couldn't get their hands on the software last year but can now. My theory.

Square eyes after reading all of that thread. Seems nothing is made public on current releases.... nothing on anything else really so definitely not that one, so it seems. One thing for me to check is whether I have the air con flow graphics which are new - A/C module can need changing in VCDS to get the colour graphics shown. I did note that I had an aircon screen running off the main menu which wasnt there before. The one you use to fiddle with the heated screen although best not to touch it, it's automatic. Have to be toggled in the a/c if you move to the one that brings up the a/c menu.... thanks guys
.... just checked - that's fine was displaying as should with the red / blue graphics. It's the latest MY18 I've ended up with pretty sure.

Wouldn't mind trying it on 66 reg. I have a new 68 sd car but will not work on my current one, may be this will rectify the problem.

No. That's not a firmware update, that's a map update. That update is not right in any case it's been pulled by VW. Seat hasn't caught up yet. See post 1418

Basically VAG screwed up the release and re released. The equivalent to what people have now is the 13gb bundle 1. The other bundles work but if you want an update to what you have without picking and mixing countries it's the new bundle 1.
Daym!! How do we get the firmware update? These should be available for free

I'm no firmware expert but your best one for DIY is the Spanish thread that appears on here. I went threw the thread translating it attempting to find the source of the unmodded firmware that I had installed.... least till someone tells you something better.
Isn't yours a Mib1 based on the map serial number so it would need some software firmware surgery to update the maps in any case or dealer work. Yours falls into the area of dark arts that cost money.
No its definitely a mib2 standard nav, because my car is a 2017 leon fr.
Ive downloaded the euro1 map, will give it a shot since forums say some ppl have successfully updated their maps
I'll report back here

It this bit
Nav database 5F0919866K 0045 ECE 2015
The 5F places it as Mib1.
Back up your SD card before you do anything. Mib1 people haven't been successful at map updates if they haven't got Mapcare. Firmware frig allows it but on the other thread a guy was running a business out of it so he never told anybody how to do it themselves.
