Same as mine
 
Just tried updating v2 card with nov 2015 update

Did NOT work in my 2013 leon, seems that the earlier cars are locked to the version of maps somehow whereas the later cars are n't. Maybe Seat listened to the complaints.

Did manage to put the originial files back and still works. Phew...

Will try again with latest update once downloaded but don't expect it to work.
 
To the guys that got it working, have you actually gone into nav ok and tried a new destination? Mine displayed the updated version info ok, but the error message occurs when going into the nav app.

Or did you select the upgrade software option at any point before going into nav?

just down load the file unzip on the desk top drag to the SD card eject the card insert in slot 2 with the ignition off, turn on as normal select nav and it takes a little longer to load first time and thats it all working. you do not have to go into software update at all.

Dont unzip the download file on the SD card make a folder on your desktop do it there then drag and drop to the SD card
Yes...I'm not an idiot, I know what files are meant to be on the card.

It. Doesn't. Work.
 
I'll second DragonQ. 2014 5F0 came with v4 maps SDcard and I cannot update it to the latest version.
Copied files to the card, locked it and replaced it in slot 2. It attempts to read the card but results in an error.

I'll have a go at the Nov 2015 next and report back.
 
Yes basically these are the steps I took.

1. Downloaded the 5FO file.
2. Copied original files from V4 card including any hidden files.
3. Highlighted all files and pressed delete, then deleted the .trash file it creates on card.
4. Copied the new unzipped files to the root of the card.
5. Locked the card and put it in the car.

Doesn't work. Not sure how many more ways it can be said. It works for two people apparently, I guess you're just lucky.
 
I'm wondering if when I purchased the new V6 card, it was meant to be sold in a mapcare country and by me installing it in my car has enabled mapcare on my car.
 
I would have to go back through the thread, was that an eBay job Andrew. You could see that some cards could give you longer if it's a three year service or something. The problem with documenting all of this the power that be will try to shut the door. Obviously if it's the eBay cards then they will probably work there way into the country.
 
Just trying the update on my March 2015 Leon that currently has a V6 card installed.
 
Latest update did not work in my Leon.

Device Part Number: 5F0035858A
Hardware: 041
Software: 0425

My current card is a V6 F50.919.866.K.
 
All of that is the same as mine, what does it say next to year? 2015 or 2016/2017?

It said 2015, I have tried previously to upgrade it without success.

I will likely just pay the dealer to upgrade it on my service next year...
 
I had the right version, for 5F0. Didn't work.


I did not format the SD card. I literally just deleted the files off of it and replaced them with the contents of the download zip. Can't remember the exact error message, I might be able to find out tomorrow. Maybe you're meant to copy the files on top of the existing ones rather than delete the contents of the SD card before copying?

Your photo is a software update, which is surely different than a navigation update.

The navigation data in the SD card are not valid. Please check data.

I was getting exactly same error.

Just get a normal 32GB SD card, format it to FAT32, and then unzip the navi files and copy everything inside the SD's root. at the end try to upgrade it again.
