[Rednut]

i appear to have bricked it. now i cant get into the nav at all and when i hit factory reset on navigation it doesnt appear to do anything.


this is what comes up when i hit the nav now.


this is what came up after trying to update (with new sd card as the previous one didnt work so i took it back.)

Ok a 32gb card does it and you cant skip any files So you download this file High12_P90_MRM_202045.zip to your hard drive

You put a formatted 32gb Sd card into your computer

You UNZIP the above file DIRECT to your SD card and when its done you should have ONLY these folders and one file on the card

Mib1

Mib2 Both are FOLDERS

metainfo2.txt is obviously a text FILE

Must be in root directory NOT in a folder

Works for everyone else Eventually LOL



Alternative method but much slower is to unzip to a folder on the HDD and then copy the above 3 from it to the SD card. Takes forever though. It wont find them if they are in another folder as only looks at the root of the card.

I have used USB sticks with other stuff on them but as long as those three are on there and visible when you put it in car unit will find them

yep, thats what i did. i'm trying again now and it's failed to copy halfway through and is now saying to format the drive again. thankfully im on hols and have some patience for this haha thanks for the replies.

Do it with the engine running if battery gets down strange things happen with VAG cars

i formatted my 64gb usb3 stick to exFAT (windows10) 'default allocation size' (my pc doesnt give me the option for FAT32) and copied the contents of the zip directly to the usb drive overnight. i tried it this morning and i still get the same error. im now reformatting and redownloading the zip.

EXFat is ok and Windoze CANT format anything bigger than 32gb in Fat32 you need a program like guiformat-x64.exe to do that

Sounds like you have a corrupted download

interestingly each time ive put the sd or usb into the car, it has a little popup that displays 'software download' as if it's recognised it's an update.. anyways, i'll report back later today once it's downloaded and i've tried it again, else, look for me on the news!

I'll go out on a limb a little here and wonder if the issue is the SD card itself. Most people use 32gb ones, class 10, SDHC - it may just be that your card is too big and new to be handled by the system. And I think XC needs to be formatted in a slightly different way which would cause the SD card reader in the car to have issues. I'd suggest you get a SD card that is 32gb, class 10, and try that. My newly purchased 2016 VRS, as I found out, has never been to a Skoda dealer since delivery (not for warranty or servicing or anything). So when I checked it was running the original firmware 0318 and original maps 2016.

With no issue at all, I easily updated it to 2021 maps, then a week or so later when I had time, I updated the firmware from 0318 to 1433, the best available, again using the same card without any issue.

I'd suggest trying this.

I just checked, I use a SanDisk Ultra 32Gb, SDHC, class 10 running at 40 MB/s and it works. Maybe try and find one like that on eBay, and do it all again, as I think the size/formatting could be an issue.

And also, you may have to look at updating firmware too, assuming you cannot get the unit back up and running again.
