Unless I'm reading it wrong, you aren't subscribed to get a new update right? Which is why it's giving you the older file? The files are linked to VIN so even if you were to get someone elses link it won't work. Try calling Skoda Oz, they were supposed to sort this mess out and still haven't.

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,

Originally posted by Heathpete View PostI agree. Someone tried this last time after I provided the direct links and it still doesn't work. Unless your VIN matches up with the update it will not work. My Scout is MY16 which seems to make all the difference. Skoda hasn't got around to helping those with older cars yet.

That would have been me and no doubt would be the same this time. I could try it again with this version to confirm but I wouldn't hold my breath on it working.

The headunit is actually different since MY16, so part of me wonders if that is the answer why some get updates and others don't? They may need to port to an older type of file or something that is taking them longer. You would imagine they still will update them.

Just for fun I followed your link and it has downloaded Has taken about 22 hours at 265KBps If anyone wants it I can put it on a stick for you as its 22 Gigabytes and is a zip file.
Just thought I would try it and as I can download at about 1200KB/s it must be a slow server that its on.

Through a hidden setup menu I was able to browse the SD folder structure from the radio. On many of the folders under /Mib1/NavDB/ the radio acknowledged I had a version delta but stubbornly refused to apply it.

I suggest everyone ring Skoda AU and lodge a case.
I've done just that last week, and I gave them a follow up call this morning and told them how disappointed I am that cars delivered today have up-to-date maps and yet my MY15 car has maps that are 2 years old.
They have promised to get back to me with an update by the end of the week.
The more noise we make, the more they may do something about this.

I just successfully updated my maps, downloaded based on the VIN, took a bit over a day. Extracted to a normal SD card and installed, took about 40 min to install. I notice that the ZIP file downloaded has two folders at the top level, MIB1 and MIB2. The largest part is under MIB1.
