Nice thank mate, look like the link it downloading as this one 'https://navigation-maps.volkswagen.com/vw-maps/EUR_12PR119_FCT3WS-23131_Offline_Update.tar' My car doesn't seem to react to it despite it recognising that there is a USB connected to it:
ah good to know, I kept thinking/expecting there was a notification or some indication its happening. thanks for chiming in mate, ill plug it in and just leave it for a week and check the version in a few days time or after 2-3 long drives.
It does it eventually... I don't have mib3 so appreciate people telling others how to do. Some want to press the firmware update button but that is something different. So I'm off the hook replying

Man that sounds like a whole mad disco the opening and closing but good to know. Im happy to say finally after spending a while reading the manual about how to control/manually adjust the headlights (failed miserably so far in regard to info) and cleaning out vomit smell from the seat belts, I believe the old guy might have missed that, I'm happy to announce its now updated to 24.6, hell id buy you all a beer if you drink. Now off to other rabbit holes wahahhaa. Still wondering why phase 2 on my A896 hasn't started after first seeing it pop when driving home on Thursday night but ill spam up another threadIt does it eventually...

On duration and getting it running constantly you can leave a door open and keep the ignition on or ignition off. Someone did get it completed that way on a mib3 in a gated community... I gave them that advice. These are tricks you can do certainly on mib2 highs which is just to open the door every 15 minutes that's because Vag cars have that 20 minute power down, 15 minutes open and close the door or keep the door open. I lock up, go in the house come back 15 minutes later. Since I got the mib2 high in the swdl menu you see the process. Others drive around like mib3 owners with their mib2 highs. Once you got the mib3 update going, which is a bit invisible unless you have one of the usb's with a led light that flashes, then it needs that 30 - 40 minutes or so.
I did do some tests on exFat v NTFS. That's another thing people are preoccupied with, NTFS the HD format, it's exFat for solid state. The preoccupation of formatting SD cards for the mib2 high map in NTFS... took a while to stop people doing that. You never reformat the mib2 or mib1 map cards since OS can wack the file allocation table. You just delete what's on them.
June approaching so new maps should be coming out then.
cheers guys.
i triesd downloading this my car could not Recognizing it cause the previous map navigation file I downloaded with TAR extension , Tried downloading it with Windows laptop then unzip it with 7Z application and extracted the files to the USB drive still nothing
7zip is the way, the internal Windows file manager unzips more or less. I know this was my issue when trying to read the YY.MM on it - it didnt work correctly. Only use 7zip. I'll have a look later. The other option is the VW file but that will be earlier by six months. Give you that later.
Yes sir that's what I got when I try and zip the file with 7zip CRC error I tried so many times now I'll download the link you give me of VW and see what will happen I hope it is 2024 map updates is that right ?
It should say 23.12 if it loads up fine, that's using the method I was kindly given when I asked the community:

Thank you again for replying no it's not European imported I bought it directly from the dealer in my country which is Saudi Arabia Gulf region originally came with golf region map, one more thing I tried updating the maps previously one more time and it did work from 21.2 to 22.6 from this website https://mib-helper.com/index.php?train=MOI3_EU_VW_R8990L , this one you share which is 23.12 I have tried so many times and I know the process of using 7zip application and Windows and formatting the USB stick to fat32 and the USB stick it has a LED indicator it won't update at all i don't know the issue !It should say 23.12 if it loads up fine, that's using the method I was kindly given when I asked the community:
Updating the inbuilt Mib3 Satnav Offline
Also if you can, use usb stick with LED indicator :) Mine still stuck at 23.6. Downloaded the file and had 2 x 2 hours drive yesterday.... So far it has not worked for me :(
That file is six months before the unavailable Škoda one. VW is on a go slow on Mib3 published navigation files online:

Well ofcourse VW could have messed up their zip program as well. Which car do you have ?. I can cross check the files the VW site is putting up. Assume it's a VW. I only get to see the European VW website but can do a comparison with what it's offering across models. Can probably frig something to see other regions. Might come down to a file comparison.
I'm glad it worked since it saved me looking at it further. Backing up the laptop at the minute... I will have a look at what map file the VW Teramont uses.... if I can find it. It's basically an at Atlas which isn't sold in Europe. I will have to do more digging. You could try inserting the USB.
