I now use a 3rd party download program as my internet speed is still trying to cope with Y2K.

Will try again today then and re download on a different machine, i'll get back in a few hours.

cheers

Didn't work again, I ordered a new SD card and will use a download manager next week and try again.

Thanks for the help guys.

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
