I cannot see how the zip files that you can download directly can be VIN locked. They’re just zip files. If there was some kind of vin-related key as a query Parma tagged on the end of the URL then maybe the server could modify the response file, but not as the URL currently stands.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Not saying the zip files are vin locked - saying the portal determines wat updates are available to ur specific vehicle based on the vin.
Is that somehow embedded in the one of the update files - don't know.
Or, there might b no issues whatsoever.MY17 Superb 162TSI, Business Grey, Tech+Comfort Pack, APR ECU+TCU Stg 1, SLA, Rieger Splitter + Side Skirts, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Hardrace Swaybar, TPMS

Anyone managed to complete the latest ROW 2018 download? I have tried for a few days and it keeps getting time out mid way - which is frustrating. The download just died at about 12GB, each time.

Just had my 2015 Octavia in for a service and map update today. Got home and found nav system says map installed is ROW2015, which it has been since new. And a quick check shows it is still missing a few new roads and streets in Canberra. But, a check on the update portal says I can now download MRM 2018. Will be back to talk to the dealer on Monday.
