Title: What Map Version Do I have ?
Post by: Norbreck21a on July 27, 2010, 01:21:04 pm: With all the talk about the latest map version being 6.1, I thought I would see what maps I have installed. The set up screen shows this ?

What version is this please ???

Post by: vRS Carl on July 27, 2010, 01:25:16 pm: That is probably a modified version 6.1

When you insert a map disc the System checks that number to see if it is a newer disc. As long as it differs from the one installed then it asks if you want to copy it etc

Usually they are only 4 Digits and only alter like that when someone has modified the disc. Does yours have speed cameras?

Post by: Norbreck21a on July 27, 2010, 01:32:04 pm: Yes, Darren added the speed cameras to it (although it's only visual - no warning bong etc.).

I'm only running the Version 1100 Firmware so wasn't sure if my maps were up to date ?

Post by: vRS Carl on July 27, 2010, 01:34:10 pm: Yes thats V6 maps then and the number is just down to modification of adding speed cameras.

They are only visual as the MFD doesn't have a POI warning facility.

Just out of interest, do you know if Firmware 1100 is still the latest for a 2005 Model year (with a Rev E Can gateway) that still avoids the battery drain issues on a Rev B unit ?

Post by: vRS Carl on July 27, 2010, 01:39:09 pm: Yes it is as far as i'm aware.

268X and upwards was supposed to fix the problem but i know of a couple of cars that still have it. You can get a Can gateway on Ebay for £85

Can Gateway Clicky (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAN-GATEWAY-1K0907530AD-AUDI-VW-SKODA-MFD-RNS-UPDATE-/170479880670?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems&hash=item27b16489de#ht_2862wt_1139)

Thats an AD version and the latest available is AF but if you went to a dealer you would be paying nearly double that price :happy2:

Post by: Norbreck21a on July 27, 2010, 01:42:10 pm: Thanks for the link Carl but I'd probably sh1t myself if I attempted to do it myself - or knowing my luck I would turn the whole car into a brick :grin:

Post by: mortygttdi on July 27, 2010, 02:19:34 pm: 1300 is now the new f/w for the B version and it supposed to have the 7 digit p/c search but this is unconfirmed as of yet?

Andrew the map number is a case oif me using Pimp My Nav to do the discs its an amazing piece of programming and so simple to use, it cost me about £30 and it works with all the major manufacturers nav discs I just download my POI off of PocketGPSworld and Pimp my nav does every thing else.

Post by: vRS Carl on July 27, 2010, 04:48:06 pm: Press and hold setup for about 30secs. It will cycle through setup menu, radio service menu and then finally test menu.

It needs to be enabled via VCDS though.
Title: Re: What Map Version Do I have ?
Post by: mortygttdi on July 27, 2010, 07:58:34 pm: Apperantly 1300 is the same has 1200 which i presume doesn't give the battery drain this is from what i have read?
You can find 1300 f/w over on vwnavi.com, Andrew them maps you have in are v6 not 6.1. I am waiting for v7 to come out or 2800 f/w with proper full 7 digit pcode searching :happy2:

Question is Daren, am I man enough to be a guinea pig? :grin:

Would love to get most if not all the features of the latest firmware but without having to change the Can Gateway.
