MK3 Columbus ROW2015-2016 Map Update Link

Reichter, what are you using to unpack the zip file? The Skoda download manager does the unpacking for you after the download, otherwise use WinRar.

I only have a 64 GB SD card with me and I'm getting an error when I try to update the maps. Maybe a 32 GB card formatted as Fat32 is the way to go.

Smart1, how did your update go with the 32 GB card?

Are you able to ignore (delete) the files which are not for Australia?
Under the MARKETS folder are the different countries...

If you just leave the AUS folder and delete the rest you should have the files you need (don't delete the dbinfo file in the root of the folder).
Then you only need to copy ~500MB to the SDcard.

Note that I haven't got a MKIII Columbus to test this, have only looked at the structure of the update...

I have to wander to the shops and get another 32 gig SD card as my spare has gone missing. I'll try it out later today. I have a couple of 8 gig ones here so i'll try your suggestion Kamold this afternoon as well.

When I checked the ROW zip folder there were a total of 3 items - 2 folders (Mib1, Mib2) and a file (metainfo2.txt).
Are these the items you have as well? Just wanted to confirm I'm not missing any files.

Finally....download worked using the skoda downloader. Was able to extra onto 64gb sd card. but when inserted into car and following the update steps, it says "no data available".

I think i read somewhere a 32gb sd card has to be used, not a 64gb one.

*UPDATE: Tried a 32gb sd card, still "no data available".

Going to give up on this one. Maybe the dealer can do it for me during a service in 12 months time.

Damn... wish this was an easier process.. I've been waiting to see if anyone has been successful with the update before I give it a go....

[afterdarker]

Doesn't look like anyone has yet managed to update successfully ... Maybe check over at Briskoda

[Smart1]

Didn't work for me either. Just re-testing by only loading the data from the MIB1 subdirtectory. Let you know how i go.

No luck yet guys, tried with both 32 and 64 GB cards and exFat and Fat32 formats. I'll do more tweaking over the week and update. The files are legit and the file structure is right. It just doesn't seem to be talking to the unit!

I've also asked for help on Briskoda, will see how it goes.

[Smart1]

Just having a look at the zip file and drilling into the MIB1 directory, there appears to be a file missing when comparing it to the zip file the downloader says i should have.

[Smart1]

Looks like l may have had some success. I reformatted the card with a FAT32 formatting program which i used google to find and it didn't give the error after unziping the maps and puting in the car. I shall update this evening as it appears that it takes ages to find the files before the update starts and if it is still searching when you turn the car off it aborts.

[Smart1]

No luck. Even with reformatting the SD card with a FAT32 formatting program now going to try with exFAT32.

I hope someone gets it to work and shares. I dont know what else to do. =(

When I log into the update portal, it says "The last update was in November 2014, the next update is scheduled for June 2015."

So maybe if this does't work, we won't have to wait to long to get it via the update portal.

[Smart1]

I've run out of options, tries FAT32, exFAT32, even tried just taking the stuff in the MIB1 directory and dumping it into the root directory and nothing works. Had a scare though when after failing a couple of time a message came up with an incompatibility...... turning everything off for a couple of minutes fixed it fortunately.
