I'm reporting! Ignition on, door open and you're done. It updated after 30 minutes, but I'll leave the pendrive working.
This is not a topic about Navi. Update 1988 arrived, I installed it via OTA. I checked the list in service mode, except for 2 modules, all are Y. My question is, is this normal? Thanks for the Navi help, it's finally up to date!

For satnav/map offline update from pendrive just plug in USB stick, turn on the engine and take it for a spin for 30-60 minutes. You'll make sure that you won't drain battery and kill your infotainment
Did like that twice and works perfectly, you don't have to waste your time and drive just only for the sake of update - the update takes place in the background so you can just do that during normal day drive.

Or edge it on if you get impatient as I explain. Jury is a bit out at the minute on when completion occurs. Those with LEDs on their USBs see activity still going on after the map appears to update by the YY.MM on the screen which means the job isnt done when that first appears. Given the connect services structure of the map is designed to update in parts as you travel requesting an update or your strike a route on the destination to force the connect services update, you may just be getting the update for your zone, like South of England say. Wait a bit longer and you get the whole lot.

The Briskoda people, least some of them take the view you should just leave it in and some take out connect service contract since they don't want to leave it in. That is likely to be an extreme. I suspect you just leave it in for a bit longer where the USB LED people have the upper hand since they can see when its done. Its on the SeatCupra site where LED USBs are liked for this or Briskoda.

I'm just reporting what I've read by you good people. Post 1 on here has the PDFs of the brands and the ambiguity of how long you leave it in. Blissfully I have mib2 high and mib2 standard. I'd buy a LED based USB if I had mib3 was doing this. You format to exFat for speed.
 
Mib3 navigation off line file release has started to show up for June 2025 reference 2025.02 - thanks to MartiniB... so far:

If you happen to live in one of those areas that's your update. These files can be used across Seat, Cupra, Škoda and VW. Because it says Škoda link doesn't mean it only works on Skoda's.

BTW I've decided with this thread I'll do it like the Mib2 navigation thread and put the latest release at the end so previous releases can be seen. Suspect it won't be long till the missing regions get filled in.
The all European one has been update but still contains the same 25.06 release period so quess it's a fix.

Thanks to Briskoda poster.

We shouldn't see anything new for offline updates till November. Post 1 on here gives the PDFs of how to install the file.

Hello @Tell,

The files inside the Skoda OI_P154 archive are from 2025.06, the same date as Skoda OI_P153 archive.

Probably this is the reason the update didn't succeeded for some of us (I'm afraid I can't remember on which community I saw a message/complain).

Is this intentionally OR a another issue? Are you aware of such discrepancy?

Thank you

Yes you have to read off that number. Rather hoping that MartiniB had published them with the yyyy mm code as he has been doing. That's the check that you cant better what you already have. As far as the "November" release is concerned that wont have 2025 11 in it but a date early. You might have it since Skoda have had some of these files earlier. What has happened is additional RoW files were found and the P release went up. Hence I updated the links.

Pass on what the red menu is talking about for Skodas... this bit :

I know MartiniB had his unit stuck not being able to update for a year or so whilst others had. Private message I got from him. One of those Mib3 mysteries.

The issue with these updates is users messing up file presentation, you cant better the release you have expressed as yyyy.dd, vag messing up zip compression (happens), some firmware issues that dont take the map update (early release of the firmware), the one on Skoda where they go backwards on map releases to get it to go forward... you'll see that on MartiniBs thread. (will edit)

Ok the key posts is this @wolfr4ge fix. Whether it applies to anyone here. Pass.


Life might be too short for mib3 😉. That was probably MartiniBs fix for his stuck map update as well.
