Mib2 Map Updates for Standard and Mib2 High / Seat Plus Units - November 2022

[Tell]

This post is for Cupra Ateca owners pre face for the Mib2 high (plus) and those living outside Europe where your car is fitted with a Mib2 standard infotainment, ie. you have an SD map card.

Mib2 Standard

Updates are available if you follow the workaround:

Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

The old release should work straight away. Failing that the new release with the old release overall.nds from year dot. Failing that try the new release with the overall.nds that came with it. If that one works it means your unit had the life time navigation FeCs on it. The production issue...

Mib2 High / Plus - all other European Ateca Cupras:

Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

The high / plus units need the "life long FeC". DIY firmware changes can be carried out if comfortable with the risks associated (link on the thread), or are available from the board's sponsor, East Yorkshire Retrofit.

Why only outside Europe?

All Cupra Atecas with Mib2 shipped within Europe use the Mib2 High not the standard.

I didn't give the Mib2 High updates and preamble for November 2022 since the update isn't out yet (edit.... now available in post above). That one is controlled by the navigation FeC so you need a FeC edit one way or another. Will cover that when it comes out. East Yorkshire Retrofit do the edit or you can do it yourself if you feel comfortable with that else you are stuck with the maps the car came with.

No Seat's got exported directly outside Europe with the Mib2 High I know this from the work of the Mib hobbyist group which doesn't publish the non-European Seat mib2 navigation FeCs since there aren't any. None got shipped unlike VW and Skoda although you can use those FeCs if you happen to have a personal import, you'd use the Skoda one on a Seat for outside Europe, it's happy with it. You use the Mib2 high toolkit to write it in. You can do that if you have a mib2 high and feel confident, or get East Yorkshire Retrofit to do surgery on your navigation FeC to a life long one. Some Ateca Cupra owners did that.

How mib2 standard worked was they were prepped for the introduction of the first map card then took on the region of that card presented with the navigation FeC of that file on the card, although the card could be any region, just needed the VAG CID. The file content set the navigation FeC unless they were subsequently updated.

As for MIB3 anybody out of contract can try this outlined here... I'm trying to get people to try it out in case it now works. The poster may get it to work since they never had connect service and it might go, oh new maps and read it in:

Navigation unavailable

Hello, I purchased a new Ateca FR 2022 and the navigation is unavailable (country regulations I guess) Can this be somehow activated? Hardware: H56 Software: 0809 Thanks :)

We don't know whether Seat still begrudge owners of map updates on mib3 as they did on mib2 which is why Skoda folk can do it. Without testing we don't know the answer. What we do know is Skoda folk can import navigation mib3 files out of contract on connect services in the UK.
