MK3 Columbus ROW2015-2016 Map Update Link

[vEnOm_oz]

I've found the URL for the 2016 Columbus map - http://infotainment-cdn.skoda-auto.c...W_NT_Q1.15.zip

I'll be looking into updating the unit this week.

NOTE: This hasn't been tested yet. If you followed this thread you would know that the 2015/2016 version of the map did not work for most of us and no one has reported that it has worked for them. Do this at your own discretion. Details on updating the Columbus unit can be found in the first post.

Good luck! Reflects poorly on VAG, the problems experienced with this.

And the answer is..... same as last update, it doesn't work with the same errors. I would say that the OZ versions have updates locked out.

Can I ask the obvious question as to why noone has just asked the dealer? From what I know the updates are free again from them.

Hi Venom_oz Did you have any luck on getting the maps up onto your unit? I'd be interested to compare the original 2013 ROW zip i have available on my update-portal to see if we can hack the missing md5 sum. Along with any other missing files... If there is someone local in Sydney with the actual zip archives i might be bale to help as my patience is thin waiting for the 12 and 20g archives to download.

Finally had my maps updated today after chasing Skoda for 18 mths. My MY15 Octavia Elegance Wagon arrived with 2014Row installed.

Couldn't update the maps via the Update Portal. My VIN kept telling me 14ROW .... never been able to update.

Conacted my dealer and Skoda HO every month & after a failed attempt a few weeks ago, finally they delivered today. Now have 16/17ROW. Be interested to see if the next update via the portal works!

Over year after last post on this thread I am pleased to report a successful map upgrade carried out on my Octavia RS wagon (production date 08/14 delivery date 01/15)!!

Thank you Alto Audi/Skoda Artarmon in Sydney. They did it at no cost as part of a regular service. A very good dealer experience!
