How to update for free Skoda COLUMBUS Maps / GPS Navigation (For almost all Skoda Models)

[@simonevannoli4500]

You dont need to swick the engine on for that. Also you can still use the car as usual, if you will leave the car, the uodate will restart automatically once you will drive away.

[@pmaiden5]

Hello 😊 Thank you for the vídeo, ive bouth a Skoda Octavia 2020 and could you tell me if this tutorial also works for her. I just need to download the maps for free, and do this procedure and it will be updated? Thank you very much for help

[@ozturkaburak]

I don’t have sd card slot in my car. How can I do that?

[@allen4326]

I have a 2010 Yeti with the Columbus infotainment system. The sat nav database is NOT updatable by an internet download from the Skoda Portal - it says for my VIN I must update by SD card purchasable from Skoda. Skoda New Zealand tell me this unit is updated by CD/DVD but I'm not sure that is correct. New Zealand maps were last updated on this unit in 2014. Can anyone guide me to where I can buy a SD card with New Zealand maps please?

Hi. How much time for the update ? Also, did you update your bluetooth and radio stations logos ? Thank you.

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

For update maps approx 1 hour. I also updated bluetooth and radio stations

Thanks. I do not have the original Skoda SD card for my 2018 Superb, can I still download the update onto a new SD card and still make this work?

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

You need only a SD, doesn't matter if it is original or no

[@Dragos_RTZ]

@@Alexandru_Aioanei am aceiasi problema.. se pare ca imi cere card original, ai idee de ce?

[@aco....]

For Amundsen mib1 & mib2 need original SD (card with specific CID number), but for Columbus not!

[@51monw]

@@aco.... do you have documentation better than the Skoda manual? It should be a simple process, I don't even know how to identify the system in use, as it doesn't say Amundsen anywhere, but portal offers only Amundsen maps for my VIN. The original card is a Skoda SD 16GB. None of the maps offered match the area covered by the currently installed (2015) card, the 32GB map is close. Will it import the file (e.g. will it be too big) or will it use it of the other SD card? But it would be easier if they just documented what it does. Skoda's own guidance says both to use "update", and to install the map directly onto the original SD card . I suspect under the hood it is doing something very simple, it is ultimately either reading the files or copying a file.

[@marek8591]

is it working with ssd/hdd ?

[@ianhumphreys8297]

Surely this only works with certain models of Skoda Superb. I have a 2014 SS and I was told you can only update the maps with a CD even though there is an SD slot ???

[@MrJase23]

i downloaded the software and put it all on a sd card just like the website said. went to install it in the car and it said its unable to read the sd card

Thanks Alexandru. My car is octavia II 2008, tdi 105. I have a columbus, but I dont see the "version software". i have a botton setup, but dont in the escreen "version software". how I can update from sd? thanks

[@RobiB78]

You found Something for Columbus?

[@istvanj.2538]

Can you remove the SD card after the update is done, or you have to leave it in forever?

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

If you have Columbus, you can remove SD after update

[@carpaticpgloradea8799]

Salut ! Pot folosi card mai mare de 32 de gb ? Pentru viitor , probabil vom avea nevoie de mai mult spatiu de stocare . De ex 64 gb sau 128 ? A doua intrebare e ca daca se sterge softul vechi de pe sd inainte de cel nou ? Pot folosi aceelasi card original de skoda de 32 gb , doar mai intai trebuie sters datele de pe el sa inteleg si dupa aceea procedat la cum ai facut tu in continuare cu videoclipul ? Intrebarea 3 Referitor la bluthoot cardul trebuie sa fie gol inainte de instalare sau se poate ce acelasi card de navigatie doar ca pe alt fisier ? .... Multumesc !

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

Salut. Cred ca 64 gb suporta maxim. 128 gb nu cred ca suporta. Eu nu am folosit card de Skoda. Am folosit un card universal de 32 gb. Parerea mea e sa incerci cu un card universal. Cardul trebuie sa fie gol cand faci update la navi si bluetooth.

Can I use any SD card for this update or it has to be an original Skoda SD Card?

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

You can use any SD, but your SD need to have 32 gb

[@Dragos_RTZ]

Salut, am varianta Octavia 3 cu facelift, si navi este aceiasi cu touch pe butoanele laterale, si nu mi-a mers update-ul cu un SD SanDisk Ultra card... Oare merge doar cu un card original Skoda?

[@Alexandru_Aioanei]

Salut. Eu nu am facut update-ul cu SD original. Am facut cu un card din comert. Nu vad care ar fii problema... Skoda nu fabrica carduri, doar se vand sub sigla Skoda si sunt facute gen (SanDisk, Kingston, etc). Urmareste pasii din video. La un moment dat, vezi ca am formatat cardul, dupa downlodezi hartile si trebuiesc dezarhivate si dezarhivate la copiezi pe card.

[@Dragos_RTZ]

@@Alexandru_Aioanei, am reusit ieri sa fac update-ul hartilor la 2020, dar DOAR cu cardul original pe care il avea deja masina instalat, cu varianta de harti 2016. Deci nu merge cu orice card. Am sunat la Skoda si mi-au spus ca: "cardul original detine un fisier ascuns care dezarhiveaza hartile instalate pe el si nu poate fi copiat pe un alt card". Asta este valabil pentru navigatia "Amundsen" de pe Octavia mea fabricata in 2017 varianta facelift.

[@icosy]

Salut, stiti cumva cat spatiu are HDDul de pe masina? Din ce inteleg din comentarii merge Update-ul chiar daca are cam 29 GB.

I have octavia rs 2014 with Columbus, and when I entered VIN it said there are no map updates for my system, aldought it has been 8 years and maps were never updated. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks

[@Darth_Cassius_]

Same problem here. Last year it was functional but this year it stopped working. Just download maps from other sites that are providing SKODA maps.

[@KOCMOTPOH]

Hey Skoda support map updates up to 3 years after production date than it stops providing them. Basically if your car is from 2014 you could of updated its maps by 2017. Easy workaroud is to use the official Volkswagen Map Updates and select Golf model coresponding to the production date of your car. For example if your car uses Columbus nav and it is manufactured 2014 you have to select Golf - Untill 2015 >> Discovery Pro. VW have really generous map update policy and supports for much longer than Skoda and since its the parent company the car infotainment system is exactly the same as Skoda (only the panel is different).
