Sat Nav update difficulties
Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2019 4:48 pm
My car is a “68 plate” Karoq 1.5 SLi with Amundsen Infosystem fitted. At the recent 10,000 service I enquired about a SatNav update and was told that the dealer does not do it due to poor broadband speed at his premises, however it is quite straightforward to do, follow the Skoda download portal instructions, and ensure that a very large SD card is available (32GB).
I followed the instructions on the Skoda download portal, ie downloaded the zipped files and extracted them onto my 32GB SD card. However when inserting the SD card into slot 1, a message “Navigational Database is not available” appeared.
Spent more time looking on the internet, and it appears that on other systems, the data is all held within the infotainment system, so a simple transfer of data from an updated SD card would work, however on the Amundsen system, it is the SD card that holds the data, and that the originally supplied Navigation SD card must always be in slot 1.
So tried to extract the downloaded zip file onto the Navigation SD card, but received a message“not enough memory left on card – need an additional 4GB”. (the original SD is 16GB). I had anticipated the "this file already exists do you want to overwrite it" messages would appear but the system did not even try to start extracting.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve it?
