That attachment is just the map update
how to off the respective VW site. I published all of them for the respective brands in post 1 here
The topic is applicable to all Seat models, VW and Škoda with MIB3 (basically all vehicles from 2020 with an infotainment system with built-in satnav worldwide). Where the connect service has elapsed or not taken out or a decision has been made to update the maps offline. Many users prefer...

That was in case there was a nugget of information on one pdf not in another. The latest map update files for mib3 as used in Seat / Cupra are on that link. The files are interchangeable between brands. There is an Audi unit that's different to those and newer "mib4s" but when I looked it appeared that those Seat / Cupra ones were interchangeable with mib3 on map files.
Grandma sucking eggs and all that. Firmware is different to map files or the radio logo files. It's the firmware files that are commercially locked down. You may see them on the mibsolution.one site uploaded from Vag closed systems but without the pdf
guide. It's a repository of files on there. Selling those firmware files has been clamped down on now... it always was. Vag have a contracted company to hunt down deviations from their policy. Where the mib enthusiasts come a cropper and why the mib solutions site isn't held on top quality servers.
That's
firmware...
map files and
radio logos aren't subject to the same control. Saying that the radio logo files available outside connect services omit the Seat / Cupra Id, SE and they have an encrypted signature so there is no way of making good that ommission which will have be deliberate. The only way of updating the radio logos is via Vags contractor files produced by a German Internet radio provider, Phonostar but that has missing logos in. VW and Skoda owners are fortunate, their ID for the sub brand is in the file.
There is a thread on that but isn't currently going anywhere due to the missing SE:
I know it was impossible for MIB3 platform to update the logos, but I have seen on VW forums they started doing this officially again here. Have anyone tried downloading and installing them from https://www.phonostar.de/vw/de/download ? I've put in my part number and it recognized it and found...

I've pinned it else we keep reinventing the wheel on that... like you currently can't.
That leaves us the
map files which are
interchangeable just that Seat / Cupra drags it's heels on publishing the link so you use the VW or Skoda ones. Those ones I've put in the thread to save poking about trying to find them. June / November, twice a year. The offline updates lag about twelve months behind the connect services one, so if you come off contract you won't get an update untill you go beyond that period, as defined by MM.YY you see on the unit and published with the files, now we know
how to read that within the files.
Basically if you want the latest firmware, maps and radio logos you have to cough up for connect services. Out of contract you won't get the radio logos updated as things stand. Maps you can do yourself, it's designed like that in mib3 on Seat / Cupra (mib 1 and 2 on Seat / Cupra you needed workarounds, Vag relented). Firmware you aren't suppose to do that yourself. A dealer might if a bug was found in a release.

. These Seat and Skoda file can be old is one of the take always.
