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:

MMI 3G navigation 6.24.2 Europe and firmware updates -...

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!

 

[Adrian E]

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.

 

[Adrian E]

Seems stuck at 70% at the moment.

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

 

[Adrian E]

Do you have or can share the ISO only for the West 2020 maps please?

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

 

[Adrian E]

I downloaded the magnet files, which is the extension for the 19 GB file?

It's a WinRAR archive file, so open with WinRAR or Zip if you prefer.

 

[Adrian E]

Thank you for the feedback, yes I'm indeed looking for the 3G Basic. I tried to put a extension like .zip/.7zip/.rar and it gives an error opening.

Are you talking about the link in the attachment? In which case, those are magnet links, so you need to copy the last one and paste it into a torrent client to start the download

 

[Adrian E]

I tried to open the file without success, tried with 7zip and changed the extension, which is missing, to other ones.

I'm confused about what you're confused about?! If it's the magnet links, you literally copy and paste the whole line into a torrent app, and it will add the link to download the file.

If you want 3G Basic maps, this thread isn't going to be any help to you anyway......

 

[Adrian E]

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.....

When downloading the second torrent file it creates this file which I´m not able to extract using any tool. I'm working on a Windows 10 64 bits machine.

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

 

[Adrian E]

Thank you!

New magnet added to attachment in post #1 - give that a try and let me know if it works out

I've removed the previous ones to avoid confusion

 

[Adrian E]

Is anybody seeding the magnet torrent yet? not seeing any seeds yet.

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

 

[Adrian E]

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!

 

[Adrian E]

I've had one last go at this - new magnet link (massive one with loads of trackers) - please report back if it starts to download.....

 

[Adrian E]

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

Spoiler

"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.

Thanks - have simplified the link in the attachment in post #1

 

[Adrian E]

From memory you shouldn't need to go into engineering menu to run the activator script. Have you got the handbrake on when trying to do it? I noticed recently that you can't take a screenshot unless the handbrake is on.....

If it still isn't working, try the link in the thread below and see if that makes any difference:

It's been years since I've activated mine, as once done it doesn't need repeating using this method, so my memory is hazy to say the least!
