How to do Software Updates manually?

[cagbaba]

Hello everyone, I drive a 2021 Leon FR 1.5 TSI Manual. The car is without the options such as smart ambient lighting etc.
I live in Turkey and unfortunately we don’t have Seat Connect. So, OTA updates are not available in my case.
I have heard that software updates can be done with only a USB stick and having the right installation files. I am not sure how it is done and don’t know where to get the update installation files.

My software version seems to be 1790. The System info menu screen is included in the attached files.

Any chance you can inform me about this issue? Thanks in advance and have a good day.

You don't need seat connect to receive OTA updates. You can complain that you have issues with the infotainment system, there are plenty of issues that are valid to ask for an update if your car is under warranty.

The warranty was 2 years, thus the car doesn’t have one anymore. There aren’t any major issues with it but it could work a little bit faster and smoother. Also, resolution when using car play isn’t great, in my opinion.
I have found installation files for the software update, now need to get a type C usb stick drive.

You don't need a usb c stick, an OTG adapter will let you use a normal usb stick - it worked fine for me to do the update.

The guide provided by East Yorkshire Retrofits says that you should not use an adapter from type a to type c. I am not sure what would happen if something goes wrong during the update, thus hesitant about using an adapter. Probably I’ll buy a seperate type c usb stick for this job.

There's a reason VWAG don't recommend this

We've had 3/4 customers experience issues using adapters, best case it just won't start the update. 1 of them had the update fail midway

I have bought this one....perfect for the update and little price....

I get a lecture from some quarters about you can use an adaptor but it has to be marked up as for data... suspect Chinese ones dont all do it. Reckon reversible dongle is the RR if USB-A is the only port on a PC. People fall in love with their trusty memory stick and buy an adaptor. I wouldn't personally fall in love with mine just get a reversible memory stick they don't cost much...

Also be aware of Macs and CleanMyDrive. Macs leave garbage in down loads which trip the integrity check on the file.

We have a mib3 offline navigation thread to complement to mib2 one . These Seat and Skoda file can be old is one of the take always.

Updating the inbuilt Mib3 Satnav Offline

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...

Hi all, where did you get the firmware from? Can not find it on East Yorkshire Retrofits

 

[Tell]

Yes @East Yorkshire Retrofits just do an onsite software upgrades now. Whether you can courier the unit to them... I'm sure they will tell you.

Mibsolution.one that had / has firmware on it has done a bit of a vanishing act at the minute. Normally your dealer will do it if required like they say, "can you tick here that we can do the update". Where the firmware hasn't been found wanting, then they charge for it. Depends what it is. Online you get the updates through the connected services.

I suspect if Mibsolution.one doesn't return there will be free options one way or another. Somebody else might know.

Although mourning the death of mibsolution.one you do need the correct address

MIB Solution :: Login

guest, guest

As well as it is not always up, somewhere along the road they put the s in it . No s and you can't login !. Doesn't say website not found.

Which if you just type mibsolution.one it doesn't work . Back up tonight.

They recommend a file manager

A labyrinth of files. I'm out of here it's late at night. You do need to know what you are looking for. Generally the SE denoted files are Seat / Cupra. The unit's split into two types for mib3... may be more across wider Vag and you have to locate the correct directory. It's a repository the mib enthusiast have built up. Question of finding the right train. Mib helper tells you where to look on the infotainment screen for the current.
