Tell You have already readed my new posts or you are only spammer? Please you dont quote my OLD messages. I found solution for MIB1 map cards as I wrote, I can pair any card with MIB1, I dont have MIB2. Its possible to pair standard sd or original sd.
Check the cid
All functions are working as before. I am adapting map card in clear way without touching vw base protection so still possible adapt new functions via vw. I dont touch component protection.
That post is two weeks ago or so. This thread as far as I can see is about offering free
help not running a business proposition there have been plenty of attempts in the past with people trying to sell eBay cards on the thread some recent. Few work without paid installation. We know retrofit is possible so as to ditch Mapcare protection that comes at fancy prices since it's a cornered market.
There are a couple of dealers in the UK which offer retrofit at fancy prices, I think the hardware then gets shipped to east Europe whether you get your own unit back is open to question. I contacted one and they backed straight out of it giving me the Here Maps phone number which needless to say was pointless and obviously they knew it. The advert claimed they worked with Vag dealers in the UK.
That point arrived when I messed up the unit (higher up on the thread before I fixed it myself), the dealer wasn't making any progress, but I fixed via loading the correct software back into it the day before they were going to have a second look (Mib2 High) - I didn't have much confidence in them, they weren't software engineers but mechanics !. I sorted it out and the rest is history where I can update everything other than the NavDB file and told people
how to do it for free. Mib1 High people can follow that route as far as I can see since the same vag upload is used and the hardware toggles the upload.
I suspect board rules might point any business proposition into a different direction. I know very old owners of Audi nav get their updates from a guy that has modded software, updates to the latest maps and puts it out as a torrent. They need to run old firmware thou. So if you had a free kit form software solution I'm sure people would be delighted.
Hopefully Seat UK will finally ditch Mapcare protection on new car so we dont have this crazy situation of people having to pay for updates as the VAG group has done across all other brands in the UK.
