SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?
- Thread starter Major Tom

I PM'd him that a bit earlier. I assumed you followed the Spanish thread on the firmware update although I didn't find the H50 one when I looked before Xmas so I guess they have their own sources to work with or pop it out of the boxes once it's loaded.
Map Updates you have to stick with the firmware update after the mod... Let Walone answer the next question
.The 'Mod' is required for map updates, I think after the mod is done you cannot update the firmware so firmware first then mod. As Tell already said they killed my unit when I first visited them to get firmware and maps updated, I think possibly because they might have skipped a step.
I bought the firmware updates from a guy on ebay (think he used to be on this forum) and then had my unit modified.
No I didn't look at the Spanish thread as I thought it didn't cover the High units.
Maps is my least prioity, I'd rather have firmware but only if it brings an advantage, ie Full Link.
You bought from the guy from Turkey i assume, who was active many pages back on here.
Did they bring the back from the dead or replace it then?
Firmware updates will not give full link (that is only available with 'Mod' as the ebay item), the firmware gives better operation and later type tile menu and VC compatibility.
Yes the guy from Turkey.
My unit got replaced.
Ok i have a better understanding now, thanks.
What is VC? EDIT - (worked it out Virtual Cockpit)
Both our models went to the 2018 or 2019 version. That's why I was trying to place the firmware number. I'm pretty sure my Ateca is now on the very latest firmware.
On Android Auto I currently have problems but then alot of people do on the original software. I think Walone has no problems with his iPhone. I'm not bothered thou since I'm not a big fan of Androud Auto. I got to try out different USB leads and I did make a VCDS change to activitate the wifi client mode prior to the mod which might have a bearing on why Android Auto works intermittently for me.
Those people will put you straight onto the latest I'm sure so you don't need to do anything yourself.
Edit. Tried a different USB cable and Android Auto started working... lesson there somewhere.

& on VC Android Auto people are reaching for their tissues that it doesn't appear on there. Silly Billies. Not on the Seat Cupra site thou.
You could read the thread... however once CP is removed you loose your navigation license. Obviously if it's a retrofit its modded to have a license. You read on threads of people having CP removed and getting stuck with no navigation. You also read of helpful dealers that know what they are doing but guess there are not too many of those around. They do cook book procedures in the main.
If you do some Googles you will find those threads. It goes if you have a license then you shouldn't loose it by having CP removed, the default as I understand it is you do. Hence you read of unhappy people that need to buy the navigation again. Expect it runs to other licensed aspects.

What unit did you send them ?
Also what was there fee for doing it ? ( can send info via pm if you wish, thanks ).
You have the MIB1 unit the maps can only be updated by Seat dealer I'm sure. You may be able to update the software version.
