nice yeh itll be good to do the one thing once. cheers mate. just hopefully it didnt do much or start anything on my last attempt with the older Seat files but I didnt really see any indication of a update starting. I should have got a USB key or external SSD drive that flashes when data is moving, unless an update in progress bar should have showed up if its working?

Nice thank mate, look like the link it downloading as this one 'https://navigation-maps.volkswagen.com/vw-maps/EUR_12PR119_FCT3WS-23131_Offline_Update.tar' My car doesn't seem to react to it despite it recognising that there is a USB connected to it:

going through all of the tabs here doesnt show further options to trigger/force an update nor does plugging it in before turning on the car show any options to start the update, is it because i've only turned it on but not started the engine?:

I did select default allocation size too and exFAT and extracter directly from 7zip to the USB:

ill try again using the new zip file and maybe actually start the car along with the engine to see if thats a factor. Going into sedrvice mode doesn't give me an option to update too but from what I've read you are not meant too go here to update the maps (?) you have just shared though, thanks again for your continued help on this matter mate.

I'm still on A896 if this matter, I've not seen the option to update since last time I was driving home from work:

When you update the map, you don't need to do anything no service menu, nothing. Just leave the stick in the port and drive around. The car will do the update automatically as long as it's the newest version.

ah good to know, I kept thinking/expecting there was a notification or some indication its happening. thanks for chiming in mate, ill plug it in and just leave it for a week and check the version in a few days time or after 2-3 long drives.

just waiting for the files to finish copying and we all gravy:

Thank you and everyone for your help.

It does it eventually... I don't have mib3 so appreciate people telling others how to do. Some want to press the firmware update button but that is something different. So I'm off the hook replying .

On duration and getting it running constantly you can leave a door open and keep the ignition on or ignition off. Someone did get it completed that way on a mib3 in a gated community... I gave them that advice. These are tricks you can do certainly on mib2 highs which is just to open the door every 15 minutes that's because Vag cars have that 20 minute power down, 15 minutes open and close the door or keep the door open. I lock up, go in the house come back 15 minutes later. Since I got the mib2 high in the swdl menu you see the process. Others drive around like mib3 owners with their mib2 highs. Once you got the mib3 update going, which is a bit invisible unless you have one of the usb's with a led light that flashes, then it needs that 30 - 40 minutes or so.

I did do some tests on exFat v NTFS. That's another thing people are preoccupied with, NTFS the HD format, it's exFat for solid state. The preoccupation of formatting SD cards for the mib2 high map in NTFS... took a while to stop people doing that. You never reformat the mib2 or mib1 map cards since OS can wack the file allocation table. You just delete what's on them.

June approaching so new maps should be coming out then.

Man that sounds like a whole mad disco the opening and closing but good to know. Im happy to say finally after spending a while reading the manual about how to control/manually adjust the headlights (failed miserably so far in regard to info) and cleaning out vomit smell from the seat belts, I believe the old guy might have missed that, I'm happy to announce its now updated to 24.6, hell id buy you all a beer if you drink. Now off to other rabbit holes wahahhaa. Still wondering why phase 2 on my A896 hasn't started after first seeing it pop when driving home on Thursday night but ill spam up another thread cheers guys.
