It takes 3 cycles to complete. Mine finished over night.

And don't be stunned if the mega.nz site initially says 55 hours which it did for me initially then sped up to about 4 hours between resume attempts.

Wish I had a server to host those files for free. I may be an outlaw but it seems to me that a host (who I'll guess had nothing to do with the AIO work) shouldn't be trying to profit from somebody else's work. And FWIW, I gladly paid 718Socal for helping me with remote PIWIS coding of my 22 BGTS because he spent his actual time doing work. I'll get down off my soap box now.
Paul thank you for helping out. I think that Mega was used because it has a Free 20 GB cloud storage. The Free account has its limitation (see picture below). I am not sure who uploads the Map updates but hosting on Mega was the easiest and most economical way. The issue is the file size (10-30 GB) and download speed which is of course restricted by Mega. I hope that you’re enjoying your PIWIS modded car 😎



PS: You can download the Mega app on your PC. It will speed up the download speed but that requires that you create a Free account. Use an alternate email to register to avoid getting SPAM

Thanks for the offer, Paul, but I doubt you'll be able to send the 11G map file to my yahoo or gmail accounts

Can you please just post or send me the link to the P376 file on the mega.nz site? At this point, I can't even access mibsolution.one to find the link. Downloading over several days won't be an issue, lol. Thanks!

Thanks, @Westcoast - this is a much better option for file access. Already 42% downloaded at the first cutoff, so I should have the complete file by tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
my first post on this Forum. i have been reading plenty and just want to make sure i have this right.
i have just taken delivery of a 2020 GT4 and i am thrilled.
but being an android user i would like to update the system to work with AA.
i have a carlinkit 5.0 on the way and believe i will need to activate using the AIO first before it will work

i am based in South Africa and just want to make sure this will work on my car and if i will be able to update to the correct maps?

Thanks in advance for the help

Woohoo! Nav enabled and 2024/2025 (P376) maps loaded. Super thanks to @718socal @Westcoast @PaulS for the help and pointers.

Really easy process overall, except for the original file access. I wasn't able to actually download anything from mibsolution.one, even with the Free Download Manager. The Mega.NZ option was relatively painless - I disabled the sleep function on my computer and the 12GB maps file downloaded within a little over 12 hours total, with 2 6-hour breaks in between. I didn't need to manually resume the download; it restarted automatically each time.

Will be great to have native nav access! Seems that the fun roads often have more limited cellular service.

I always welcome the success stories; I find giving back on the forums to be rewarding in and of itself!

Welcome to Rennlist, and congratulations on your GT4!

I hope that we can get you set up with Android Auto on your GT4, great first step actually providing the version shot, and from the blank map database I would assume that the car did NOT come with OEM NAV enabled?

We are experiencing a little trouble with the MIB Solution website so bear with us, so bear with us!

This is the AIO version that you need; MHI2_ER_POG11_K5126_1_AIO_MU1394_20230320.7z

I too am having trouble getting into MIB Solution to confirm the map version for South Africa (could be ER, P370 (2024/2025?).

Thanks Westcost,

Not sure which might be the right maps - would have thought it would have been a ROW file?
not sure what the ER stands for - i assume Europe

ER, yes stands for Europe regarding these maps.

From what I can find there should be a ROW map that would have SA as part of it, the problem is the listing on MIB is incomplete, nothing there just a few bytes when it should be in the GB range.

Can you confirm the before and after version number changed after update and if you have a full backup?

IIRC in GEM you can also check the country code?

Versions match and are the same both before and after the update.

Do these screens help?

@FurbzRSA It looks like your PCM is a ROW firmware, you need to check that the correct patch is included in the Patches folder on AIO, it doesn't look like the AIO installed it.

The patch name will match 'ROW' and the firmware level of what you are installing. BTW, I see that it does have a ROW NAV DB installed from the factory in that last screen.

thanks,

I'll double check again tomorrow. I thought I had got the patch thing right. I downloaded all the patches and let the software automatically detect the right version.
Not impossible it got it slightly wrong so will check and let you know
