Cheers, do you have any links for an SD card that would work?
I'm having issues with my current maps, where whenever I set a destination, as soon as I choose a route maps crashes and says nav database unavailable. Any ideas on this one at all?
On your issue it could be a corrupted map card. The cards can give up the ghost. You could scan it for "bad sectors" in the old terminology. Right click properties you find it.
That one checks for whether it's been pulled out etc whilst being written and made good. It won't correct a defective card.
The other one is whether a Mac has been involved. CleanMyDrive utility run on the SD removes Mac end of file markers etc that the unit isnt expecting. On mib2 highs its an issue. Doesnt really come up on mib2 standard but a chance that it can be a
problem.
The other one these cards don't take too kindly to being reformatted rather than just a delete everything. Safer to mark the whole lot up and just delete it. Windows 10 / 11 format had an issue where it changed the cluster size. Should be fat32 cluster size 4096. But in the first instance never reformat them but delete, but if reformatted them get them back to 4096 cluster size.
If you do buy a new SD card a Seat, VW or Skoda mib2 map card can be used - they are interchangeable. I bought a Skoda one once. 32gb card holds all of Europe. 16gb you use the zone downloads. A decent eBay seller with many positive
reviews will do. Google is your friend. Should be about £25.
Recently did have a rebooting mib2 standard that turned out to be a music file containing a jpeg with above 512x512 image size. Embedded. Tricky to diagnose but that was it. Deleted the image and it was fine. Mentioned it on a thread. This is where the infotainment unit goes outside of the program limits so crashes.
A reboot, long press till you see the logo reappear fixes where the infotainment unit program is running outside of memory. Could try that if not already. Didn't fix the jpeg big image since that was an undocumented program constraint.
A new card you still have to do the workaround described here:

Switching cards after an update a reboot is always recommended. Long press.
