If anyone have issues installing the map then this means in the past the script activator was used.
I did warned in the past that i have not tested it very well so such things are possible.
If i have a 3G basic car with that defect soon i will create a script to remove the old activator and then you can install the FSC based and enjoy the map. This is the proper way.

p.s. Looking at the archives i did created some script to remove that back in the days ... but cant remember did i test it well :) -> 704.8 KB file on MEGA

The basic idea is to restore /etc/mmelauncher.cfg to its original state.
I did use activator in the past. I've updated maps a couple of years ago. Now i tried to install the newest version of maps and I'm blocked by the "checking medium, please wait.." issue.

I'm attaching my log, in case someone understands from it how to fix it. To me it looks like this line hints at something:

Code:
[INFO] No acios_db.ini found in /HBpersistence/navi/db
mmi3ginfo-20240309_094747.log

Taking into account my firware version and that I have MMI 3G Basic would it be good idea (would it be safe?) for me to run this script: MMI3G-Navdb-Unblocker. Does it even have potential to solve my issue?

Hi
Just updated Map ver. 5.26.2 to 5.35.2. Everything went "sucessfully" according to the software, but the only problem is that it doesn't work. The navigation starts initiating and then after exactly 25% loaded this happens " Checking medium. Please wait.... and nothing happens hereafter. Any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong?

Problem solved with the "_MMI3GB_ACT_REMOVE.7z" script. I hope that future updates will be less stressful 😁
 
So this is how I’m doing it if I’m doing it right I copy file from firmware to sd card and update system
Then I copy maps to another sd card and update system
Then I copy fsc activation to sd card and update and then I put maps sd card back in and leave it ??

You require 2 SD cards, put the firmware on one, maps on the other, once you've done the firmware, take that card out and install the maps with the other, while the maps are updating, format the SD card with the firmware on and copy over the activator, once the maps are installed, leave that SD card in, but put the activator SD card in slot 2 and run that in update mode (car & setup) once that's ran, take that SD out, the SD card with your maps stays in permanently.
 
Can anyone give screenshot of sd card with activator how should it looks and process of of activating of maps?
Ok everything works fine. So for me issue probably was SD card size. Install maps, remove card, turn engine on and add sd card with activator. Everything started automatically and no need to use update mode manually.
Thanks @congo, can you provide link to your BuyMeaCoffe account?
 
Has anyone tried this method?? does it really work?
I've tried it and for me worked, the only thing is that I tried with both the sd cards and it didn't work: the activator seemed to work, but the maps didn't. After a few tries, I only inserted the SD card with the maps and the MMI automatically recognized the maps and installed them (btw, in my case, I had to install the maps only, cuz the firmware was already the newest)
 
Thanks everyone for all the info.;) I was able to install to the latest firmware and map 2023 with the latest activator. I just had difficulty with error 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management. I am attaching a link to an online calculator and a clip for the solution.:cool:
Now I'm looking for Language_CD_EU because the one that was uploaded doesn't work, if anyone can help.:rolleyes: thanks :):):)
 
Hello,
I was reading the thread, but i don't understand something. i have BOSE system.
I have enabled "used defined", entered the update, when i press "Used Defined", nothing appears related to BOSE System (BOSEG3_XX), it appears ARU9438, DVD, etc. but nothing related to BOSE.
Should i start the update so or there is another option to avoid BOSE update?
 
Hello,

I just purchased an 2011 Audi A4 Avant, and the software version reads as "BNav_EU_P0022_D1", Nav. database version is just blank. The navigation doesn't work with the SD-card that was in the car when I bought it. I will include an image of the content of the SD card.

Before I try to follow this guide and update my firmware and install new maps, I would just like confirmation that this is indeed the correct guide and I can upgrade the firmware to K0257 and go through the following steps to get functioning navigation in my car.

Thanks for a great guide, hope you guys can help me! :-D

you will find all the information you need in this topic.
I suggest, you start reading from the 1st post onwards.
as far as I know, 257_D1 is the most recent firmware, but I am not an expert.
so, you only need the latest maps.
