Infotainment system upgrade firmware/Maps query

[DrHoneyBEar]

Greetings all,
I am confused as a result of work colleagues asserting different accounts of how to update the 6P0 Infotainment system firmware. Some are claiming that if I update Maps then firmware updates are also applied. Others are claiming that a Maps update is just that, and for a firmware update another file is required which can be found for around £20 [googling]. No idea what they mean or which one is correct - if either.
Can some good folk on here clarify please.
Thank you

Firmware update is separate to map updates.

Thank you. The map updates look simple and I'll do that this weekend.
I'll need to do some searching here regarding firmware updates.

Don't follow the Seat website about deleting everything on the SD... you need the workaround as per the link. The overall.nds copy. There is a discussion section on the link.

If its a mib2 high (aka Seat Plus) you need long life FeCs these can be done via East Yorkshire Retrofit or you can either upgrade to 1447 AIO details on the firmware thread or use the mib2 high toolkit but that only works with specific firmware. It sits in memory and does an edit. It's what the like of East Yorkshire Retrofit would do on the work bench. 1447 AIO on the mibsolution website basically upgrades all components of 1447 and then runs the mib2 high toolbox at the end. It's written by mib2 enthusiasts.

The long running mib2 firmware thread:

SW update for MIB2 infotainment system?

It should be fine. Whatever you had before you retain. If you didn't have full link you won't get it with a normal firmware update. If you have it now, you retain it. The only reported issues is where people have paid for custom performance screens from retrofitters then they loose them in a...
