2020 maps version 6.30.1 - PLEASE NOTE - this package is ONLY suitable for 3G and not 3G+/3GP so if your firmware version doesn't match the style indicated in the instructions do not bother downloading this file, as it's been cut down to make the download smaller and so it'll fit on a 32GB SD card without issues.

26.99 GB folder on MEGA

The link above includes an activator file, but if you've successfully updated in the last couple of years you shouldn't need it. Note that the activator needs to go on a seperate SD card, and shouldn't be copied with the map files.

For facelift cars with 3G+/3GP see other thread for correct links - don't muddle them up as it doesn't go well.....

Update instruction guide below - this one is a better layout than the one I produced a couple of years ago, and covers firmware updating etc

MEGA

PLEASE NOTE - THESE ARE FOR EUROPE, NOT ROW OR NA and I cannot help with questions about where to find them.

I did not need to re-activate, having done so for 2018 maps. I did still get the SVM error in VCDS, which doesn't stop it working if you leave it/don't have VCDS.

I recommend using JDownloader to grab the links and WinRAR for extracting the archives when finished downloading. If you hit the download limit from Mega and don't want to pay for premium downloads I can recommend using the Opera browser, which has a built in VPN tool so all you need to do is switch location and it will allow you to continue downloading. You do lose the option to use JDownloader if you go that route.

These files are from a variety of sources, so credit due to all those who compile and make available :grin2:

If you don't have up to date firmware, links in the thread below:

I've added a torrent magnet link - see if that works - I've uploaded to Mega as it's straightforward to use to upload large files, and it didn't seem to cause any issues in previous years. Most of the free hosting sites require you to break the files into 200MB packages, and then limits what you can download at any one time. Using JDownloader just means with one large file, if for any reason it drops the connection, you don't have to start from scratch.

If you use the magnet link, please seed it, as it's going to be painfully slow otherwise!

Hi Adrian,

That's perfect. I've tried on Mega but downloading isa bit of a minefield.

Thanks for the magnet link seems to be working, just waiting for it to download metadata which is probably due to it not being up long.

I'll report back when it completes and I'll upload as well.

I've had to change the torrent link, as the files were accidentally deleted. Have made it public as well, so should be easier to seed.

I've had some issues getting a torrent file to work with the source file, which is on my server. It's been reliant on my PC being on and torrent software not crashing on it. Hopefully now resolved, and a new magnet file in the attachment in post #1

Hi, I have a MMI 3G HDD based (HNav) with updated firmware (0257_6) and map 6.30.1 loaded, I have downloaded the "3GH Activator" but I am not able to run the activator with the following procedure:

_Format your SD in FAT32.
_Transfer activator files to the SD card root
_Start the car and wait until MMI is fully loaded (usually 5-10 minutes)
_Insert the SD card into the first MMI slot.
_A screen will appear...

For me no screen appears, did I missed something?

I usually activates the maps (at least for 2016 and 2017 versions) with metafile activators by using the "Engineering Menu" refer to page 18 (Activating the map: 3G Basic and 3G High) of the Update instructions v1.6. I could not find such activator for the map 6.30.1 (2020).

If someone successfully activated the map 6.30.1 on a MMI 3G HDD based (HNav) please share.

Doesn't work like that for 3G maps - it's the whole thing, or nothing. Might be mixing it up with 3G Basic?

The archive file is titled '6.30.1 + activator.rar' there should be no need to add any extensions.

Opening that with WinRAR should show 2 folders:

The first is '3GH activator' and the 2nd is 'Audi MMI 3G HDD 2020 6.30.1' which need extracting and copying onto SD cards.

Are you using a Mac? Can often cause issues with archive files created in Windows, as there's hidden system files that Mac doesn't deal with well.

If that's not what you're seeing, maybe someone can report that they've successfully downloaded and used the files, to confirm it's not an issue at my end?

Could always use the Mega link.....

OK, seems like there's a problem somewhere - will try to re-upload, but it won't be quick....

Hello everyone,

I have a question about upgrading the maps.

Can I make an upgrade directly from this version of the map in the image to the version 2020?
I don't know which activator was used to activate these maps (I believe that they are 2017 version).

Have you managed to download it? In theory it's 'live' but I'm not seeing traffic. Not very experienced with these things.....

The download isnt starting atm, I think it might have to be fully uploaded first? Not an expert on these things either.

Hopefully once it's uploaded it can then be seeded by others.
I've tried adding to a tracker site, and added a second magnet link - give that a go and let me know.

Once it's actually working I'll tidy this thread!

Managed to get it started by selecting a section of text as the full Magnet link got stuck.

"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:14110bc28c0a55478636439be72f5d26affd71be&dn=6.30.1%20%2b%20activator.rar"

I'll report back when done and of course I'll seed afterwards.

Hello!
I'm having trouble activating my maps.
Updated to HNav 257 and maps 6.30.1, however the activator does not boot for some reason. I have tried 3 different SD cards and the activator uninstaller booted like a charm. Any ideas?
