SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

[SteveGSXR600K1]

There’s a few places I’ve seen who ‘sell’ these software updates, an eBay Seller based in Poland called ‘servicesvag’ and a website linked in this thread called ‘vagupdate.com’

‘vagupdate.com’ looks a little bit dodgy to me.
The about us page says it’s based on New Jersey USA, has 25 employees with ‘Dr Joseph Miller’ as company owner.
Yet a simple check on its website reveals its based in Istanbul Turkey .

I think it’s not worth trying to update your MIB2 software unless Seat do it for you as part of a service package. Not worth the risk/hassle.

BTW There is a website (that requires €25 payment to register called mhhauto) that has lots of people sharing all latest software........but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Exactly what I spotted when looking at the website. Cannot see the point of spending this amount of money for an update, just for it to be noted on the VAG/SEAT databases to keep the warranty. If you have any issues with the update and you go to SEAT saying what's happened, they'll tell you that you shouldn't have done it yourself.

I’m pretty stuck then, I have issues with CarPlay crashing frequently as well as it always enabling shuffle and repeat when streaming music on Bluetooth. My local garage said they checked and there were no updates, I’m sure there is an update available. Nothing I can do though I suppose!

Yeah they say dont do it yourself but, also, they are not doing the update. So how to find solution? Some firmwares have really annoying bugs. I have a friend went to dealer due to usb problem. When you insert USB flash unit restarts itself. It is Seat MIB2 Std version is 0241. I said him do not waste your time just buy an update service and it will be ok. He said no dealer will find a solution. After 1 week dealer decided to change the head unit. He waited another 7 days for new unit to arrive. Guess what happened! New unit was exactlty same one (SW version 0241). Unit installed by dealer and same problem still exist. Nothing fixed. Then he bought update service and fixed the problem. So I mean dealers are bullshit if you havea software problem. And also they do nothing free if your warranty is not valid.

I think CarPlay crashing is a common feature of these units.
My car is less than a year old with hardware h50 and software version 0514.

It mainly happens if you connect the phone before the infotainment system has loaded up its maps fully. Usually that is instant, but for unknown reasons occasionally takes several seconds and if the phone is connected before this when that happens, CarPlay will be unstable.
Learned to live with it and always wait to connect the phone now and it’s been better.

For that reason I’d like to know if there is an updated firmware for my unit. I’ve read reports of a 0515 firmware on a Spanish forum but no idea how to get hold of it or even if it fixed anything anyway !!!
I will ask dealer when car goes in for a service, but won’t hold my breath.

Hi!
Does anyone have the links to update files?

In Spanish forum links don't work and I'm turning crazy looking for them.
Do you have a PDF with links? Please could you give me it?

I'm looking for the 330 and 346 update for H24 unit

Thank you in advance

I have the files. if you still need them PM me and will upload them somewhere.

 

[Godzzi]

Anyone still has the 0330 and 0346 firmware files? It seems that everyone on all forums have removed them.

LATER:

- Nevermind.
I needed it because an engineer activated my full link + performance monitor. The problem was, according to him, units that have v02xx can only be upgraded to the latest v0252. Units that have v03xx can go to v0363.....and so on.

My unit had 0245 and now it had the unofficial 0346. He tried to put the latest which is 0363 and it failed. The unit refused to accept it because it only accepts v02xx firmware.
he then downgraded do an official 0252 and the unit worked fine with Full link activated.

I decided to stay on 0252 because I am afraid I might lose the new FEC codes which activated full link.

For those that need the files hire it is from the Spanish forum together with some G translate info.
My unis is 5QA035858 HW24 SW245, the update to 346 went well with no problems at all.

MIB2 6.5 "update method
CHECKED AND SOLVED TO ERRORS PRESENTED
As explained above, to update the MIB2 from 0245 to 0346, it must be updated before 0330.
Therefore, first perform the 0330 following all the steps described below and then the 0346 and again the same steps and avoid unpleasant surprises.
1) Use a minimum SD 8GB and can be Class 10 (It is much faster)
2) Format the SD card in FAT32
3) Copy the data to the SD card (All folders and the TXT file must remain in the root of the card)
4) Insert the SD card into the SD1 Housing of the glove compartment.
5) Put the car contact (Do not start the engine under any circumstances or turn off the Infotainment)
6) Press the Infotainment Menu button and press and hold until the service menu exits.
7) Select SW Update and click on Update.
8) Wait for the system to give us an Update Done message and confirm.
9) We connect the diagnostic device (Vagcom, OBDeleven, etc.) and do a Scan.
10) We erase all faults.

IMPORTANT

1) Updates are taking around 30 minutes each if the SD card is Class 10, on older cards it will take much longer.

2) You can try to upgrade from a USB but it does not always work, USB is a bit conflicting in many cases, by brand, chip, etc. Nothing happens if you do not update, it will simply tell you that it cannot read the data.

3) If when trying to update with an SD, you get data error, something you have done wrong. Format the card again or change cards.

During the update:

1) Do not remove the contact from the car, or turn off the Infotainment.

2) Do not start the engine during the Update. (You can have it started before starting, but do not start it if it has already started updating)

3) Under no circumstances should you use car consumers (Heating, air conditioning, OBDII, Bluetooth connections, etc, etc). AVOID UNNECESSARY RISKS. Updates are a serious thing, do not walk around in the car, if it is cold, you warm up or look for another time.
If you are not able to follow these guidelines, it is better that you do not update.

4) If you think you don't want to risk staying low on battery power, connect a battery charger before starting the process and keep it on until it is finished.

Normally after the updates, the SVM (Software Version Manager) must be validated
The system will throw an error: 1555 - Check Software Version Management that is permanent and is not deleted.
To solve this, follow these steps :
We enter the 5F
Adaptations
Confirmation of installation change
We copy the value it shows us (XXXX)
We use a calculator that has XOR (Bitwise calculator for example)
In hexadecimal we put the value we have.
We give XOR.
We put these C9D2 values and give the = symbol to calculate it.
The value you put us, we put it in Confirmation of the assembly modification and We accept.
After accepting we will see that the value has not changed with respect to what we had at the beginning. IT IS NORMAL.
If you do it with VagCom leave a space in the middle. (XX XX) by putting it in again.
Once done, redo the Scan and erase the fault permanently.

what value should I put in my car?

 

[Walter]

I don't understand anything anymore! what should I do in my case

Bitwise calculateur

Number 1: 79 C5

Number 2 ?? ??

Bitwise operator
AND/OR/XOR?

Résultat?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help

I've calculated it for you, 79C5 XOR C9D2 = B017 (B0 17 has to be entered in the new value field) the 0 is a zero.

OK perfect! Thanks so much

Hi everyone,

Was wondering what unit do I have? Mib1, 2 or higher?

Looking to sort my navigation and try a new sd card before I start digging deeper. The new card that dealer gave me doesn't seem to work, original was lost by previous owner. With my current sd card (Seat Navigation AS Europe V7) I get a message "navigation database not available".

Trying to understand whether navigation needs to be activated by dealer or I should try buying a new card first. System says navigation n/a but surely it's equipped with one from standard.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

I have attached picture of my current sd card that I was given as a replacement for the missing card. System information says that navi not available. I did think to try buying a new sd card to see whether it will work but not sure which one to get

Maybe the forum experts on this @Tell & @Walone will swing by, just be patient.
Or you could tell the "Stealer" it does not work I guess

Here you go. The latest maps for your system

That is indeed the latest link since VW has changed their web address but not the solution to the problem since the unit is locked to an overall.nds file so you need that file and the V1 overall.nds file which is good for all releases beyond using the "workaround" method.

There is a post I did on the main navigation thread which covers lost and stolen cards how to get back your system.

See post 2151

Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

Yes, yesterday I tried to delete all the folders except 27 and rename it to 00, but nothing. Looking in the maps/27/sds, I see that it is empty, while other regions have files, I don't know if it is normal ...

www.seatcupra.net

Get the V1 version of the Mib2 standard from the Skoda servers. That has your overall.nds file in it which will work with any subsequent release whatever your Mib2 standard unit is on else you will spend a long time on trial and error trying to find the release that matches your car. Use a PC not a MAC or follow the Mac guidance.

Then follow post 2075, key to all mib2 standard map update screw ups. See under Lost, Stolen and Missing Cards from a Mib2 Standard Unit

https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/navigation-system-updates.388586/page-104

Enjoy.

BTW

VW has just changed the server address so I have edit correct link into there so it picks 1430 up... there will be a new release soon that will replace 1430 - expected in the next couple of weeks if VW keep to schedule. VW release, Skoda and Seat are all the same except VW get them first.

Replied above . Just use the card you were given but follow the instructions to action the workaround or alternatively as you say get the dealer to put it on their system and re-register the card but if Blue Frost wants to be able to do the map updates themselves then they need to master the process or cough up £120 or something every six months or when they want a map update. This has just got the first extra step of getting an overall.nds file that works with all subsequent releases which is the Seat year one of Mib2. Normally you have that as we all know ... unless you are one of the people that deletes everything on the card without backing it up, or loosing the back up. Then you either find the release that tallied with what you had or use the universal solution above of downloading the Seat V1 card which is then good to go with the workaround.

 

[RCupra]

Or you sent me a pm and i will unlock unlimited satnav updates and you can use every sd card you want.
