Hi I was having problems doing the update (Mib2) I downloaded the Europe 1 update and copied the Overall file into the new EEC directory but it wouldn't work. The problem was I did this on my desktop PC and when I looked at the files they were classified as a Nero Discspan Compilation ! I don't think my car infotainment system runs Nero lol. I did everything again on my laptop (the download and work around) did the long press reset in the car and went to navigation. It took about 10 seconds and the maps were there!
So guys make sure the NEW files are nds and your computer hasn't defaulted them to something else when you unpack the zip files.
Thanks for your help and patience Tell

SystemName=" ECE 2023 "

I'm not home at the minute hence the Irish flag will allow those with mib1 with success to cross check. Gapping looks a bit big on the system name.

As long as you stick to notepad for edits. 7zip etc

Probably not 7zip to unpack ?. 7zip is recommended one by Vag. The inbuilt file manager one definitely messes up mib3 files. Also slow .

Yes it was 7zip I downloaded it right at the start following advice on here (probably from you). Winzip won't unzip them

Do not update the infotainment system, we ship every system on the latest available software. The map files stay on the SD card, which stays inside the infotainment unit

That's sorted then... mib2 standard.

I tried the procedure multiple times and it didn’t work, then I guessed I must have an MIB 2 High unit since nothing was working.

Tried the procedure for MIB 2 Standard again and the result was the same with the only difference that it started loading in the beginning and then gave up again. (Tried both the OVERALL.NDS from the original card and the one uploaded on the forum)
