With your link VIN is invalid.

Something to try then...

I try, it works
30min of update

Looks like I'm not the only one downloading. Slow....

 

[Mouss]

It was slow this morning too
I think the server has a slow bandwidth

Could you post if the new maps have any improvements? Mainly more chargers as POI. Thanks.

Does the the map MAPS contain three files? telenavmapdata, file_index and file-verification?

I've not noticed particularly more chargers at first glance. It still doesn't have the chargers at my local Sainsbury's

Weird. Winrar does not extract the last two...

Edit: I did a fresh extraction and now it is ok. Tomorrow I will try to install the map.

@mg4mc
Did you copy the VN.txt file into the unzipped maps folder yourself or was it already there?

To answer my own question, the VN.txt is already there. All it says is pass.
The previous VN.txt file I downloaded from an earlier version of the maps link gave a text file with 'random' letters etc.

Is it possible to just send the VN file and we can copy it to the previous download, where we got the message "Missing VN File"?

The map files changed quite a bit, at least by comparing the signatures. I'd re-download the update package

You downloaded from the original MG website with VIN nummer ?

It's quite possible that VN stands for Vin Number, and is generated and/or modified as part of the update process. So copying someone else's VN.txt file might not be a good idea.

Then again, if you are somehow sure that you have the right download for your VIN, it might be possible to use a text editor to change it to say "pass" (but what case, are there any hidden characters, etc). In that case, copying someone else's file might save a lot of downloading.

But how can you be sure that you have the exact right download for your exact model?

 

[mg4mc]

I think the magic happens in file_verification file. That contains a long hash code (340+ characters), I suspect the hash is generated using your VIN as the seed, making it unique to your car.

Easy way to tell is for a couple of people to post the contents of that file, if they are different that would confirm it for me. (I'm on my phone at the mo so can't post mine)

I don't think its that complicated, cause the dealer downloaded the update before on a USB stick for the cars in the showroom to update and gave the stick to me and I update there with the same usb stick... Now i have with the latest update "Missing VN File" on the R46. So I will download everything again cause i saw they fixed this in the new download on the server no?

Just DL the new package and use the new VN file (the one with "pass")
