Way ahead of you, i thought it would be better to have one guide, instead of this 3 page thread with lots of missed attempts.
If someone tries the tutorial and have suggestions for changes, or something is not accurate when it was translated from English to Danish and i translate it back, please dont hesitate to tell me, and i will make the changes.
Edit: the tutorial is here:
Tutorial for updating maps on ZS EV Gen 2

The most important thing to take away from this, besides getting the maps updated, is in my book that there were NO kind of encryption, no need for keys, fingerprints or anything else.
This means that we are likely to get free map updates atleast until 2027 where it says that all connected services will end)
Only catch here is offcourse IF they will release map updates.
I feel that 5 years of free updates is pretty acceptable, especially if they would make an option for me to buy another X years at a reasonable price.
MAYBE....It will even be possible for someone crafty to adapt HERE maps from other car manufacturers, so they will be accepted by our navigation, if they should select to discontinue doing the updates.

There might be missing a "Press next" in the odd place, but i think most people will be sensible enough to understand that if the only option is pressing "next" then they will do it, even if i did not put it in my tutorialJust had a read through on your tutorial page, makes sense to me

I wonder if this is because unpacked the folder?

No RAR files are not encrypted. They can be though, but it would not make a lot of sense here as the password would be identical so if someone bought the code from MG, everyone would have it.
My guess is still, that the car will check the current date against the expiry date and stop accepting updates after that date.

First downside i have come across on my MG !
Why is it so damned complicated to update the maps ? Looks like a degree in computer science would be an asset.
The Audi I traded in did it automatically without any input from me !
Oh yes ....
And I didn't have to accept the conditions every time I used the sat nav either

To be fair it's not THAT difficult.First downside i have come across on my MG !

I agree it would be better if it would just pop up "New maps available, do you want to update".
Only strange choice is, them using the RAR format instead of ZIP.
But the good thing here is, that they can do OTA updates of the infotainment, i would guess that means that they could theoretically add map updates directly via the radio, in a new firmware update.
That would offcourse mean, that they would have to do ACTUAL updates OTA, which we have not seen yet.
I would even settle for "Update OTA of maps, but only if you connect the infotainment to an external Wifi source via the menu.

Ive tried to put the files both inside and outside the folder. It rakes like 3 minutes for the car to find it but then the MD5 fails.
Tried unpacking it straight to USB but no success. Drive is Fat32…

oh my God. That's best news which I have had today ! I am downloading it now from Europe website of MG. (User manuals - Recharge yourself). Why can't do it from the car. It has 5g internet on it.
