Map updates

[Just_Westy]

32 gb card IS big enough as I downloaded that file onto one this morning to see if it would do it right Are you sure that like another poster it isnt a 32 MEGABYTE card instead of a 32 GIGABYTE card

What machine are you using because MACS cause more problems than they are worth

My card says 28GB used 1.8GB free

No dice it's still saying : "Error: no data available please insert a source with software. or check the source"

Used a windows 7 machine this time and Fat32 as ive downloaded the file onto 2 different machines. For some reason I get a size error using the win10 machine.

I have the correct files downloaded Mib1, Mib2 and Metainfo.

I suspect that the Scandisk is the issue but i'm sure I used a similar one last time.

I'll pick up another SD card on the weekend and give it one more shot and if it doesn't work just wait for the next update. Thanks for your help.

Cheers

It's a Discover Pro with the 9.2" screen.

The problem has to be the SD card i'll get a different one.

I had a similar issue a while ago with the message "Error: no data available please insert a source with software or check the source". Turned out to be a download issue with the file not the SD card.
My download missed some files so I retried another go, looked over the file size and numbers and noticed a slight difference.
I now use a 3rd party download program as my internet speed is still trying to cope with Y2K.

I use Xtreme download Manager, as I had the same problems each time previously. Downloaded first time last night, loaded in car on the way to work. 64GB SD Fat32

Weird Have never had one fail from the VW site, The Skoda Site or the link regardless of the card used. I have a 50Mbs NBN fibre connection and it takes about 3 hours to download

I have used 2 different computers and have 50Mbs NBN as well so I'll change a few things and hope it works. It took 2 attempts last time to get it to work with a different SD card.

hi all, my first post. Had finally managed to update the system after lots of tries. Sharing my experience and hope it would help people.
From my experience, I used two different SD cards (class 10) of different brands (Sandisk and Lexar). It made no difference (both failed). I tried different formats (FAT32, exFAT and NTFS) using both Mac OS and Win 10, this made no difference (i.e. all failed). Tried WINRAR on Win 10 and RAR extractor on Mac, failed. Tried a USB, with all the above tricks, failed. Tried to access secret menu by holding Menu button on the unit, which allowed me to see folders and files, failed. Tried using either MIB1 or 2, failed. I was frustrated almost to the point of forking out $$$$ for a dealer, but sanity hadn't left me after weeks of ISO.

What worked was using 7-ZIP on window to extract the file directly onto a USB (FAT32 format). Copied 2 folders and txt file to the root folder. It worked flawlessly. Took about an hour to update.

Lot of effort and if using a MAC there's the problem straight up.

Have never had a problem Format the card in FAT 32 (ALWAYS) d/load map to HDD, extract using winRAR, copy whole folder to SD card bung it in the car and wait 40 mins and finished

There is a new map on the Skoda portal but you might need a valid VIN to download it it is Ver 88 but still has current from Nov 2019 but that one was 85

Installed and working
