After a few minutes if failed with message ‘Failed to verify the map files in md5 mode!’
On another thread was the suggestion to remove ‘file_verification’ and ‘VN.txt ‘ in the USB root folder ‘maps. I did this and tried again – this time it worked.
Yeah I’ve read that thread, and also tried to remove the files, but unfortunately to no avail…I don't think the MULAN_EU_HERE_2304_RC.sig file is part of the car system because it contains the map version/date. The 23Q3 zip has MULAN_EU_HERE_23Q3_RC.sig in the mdmanifest.txt file.
That file is not in the manifest for the 22Q2 zip, it only appears in the "new" files. I recall the ZS folks also have problems using the new map zips, and have to delete a couple of files from the zip for it to work...
PM sentDoes anyone know if it’s possible to download an older 2022 map update? I’d like to make some further comparisons.
Yes, I’ve been using USB 3.1 and older sticks formatted to FAT32 or vFAT, all from a PC running on Windows 11.I take it you’ve tried different memory sticks, different types of format etc.?
Also, are you doing this on a Mac or a PC? Have read that doing it on a Mac caused issues for some updating ZS maps.
Progress! You just need to suss why the EU one isn’t working now…good luck! Great work to this pointYes, I’ve been using USB 3.1 and older sticks formatted to FAT32 or vFAT, all from a PC running on Windows 11.
In the end, I managed to install the Australian maps… they would they have been useless for me, but they didn’t work anyway because of regional limitations.

Do heated seats work? In the Netherlands the SE version doesn't have heated seats. But I can imagine that MG used the same seats (with heating elements) for all models. Also because the Scandinavian SE model has heated seats (and a heated steering wheel)The advantages are fairly minor, especially without nav, but since it just works, I’m keeping my car on 1300R59 for now and will plan to downgrade back to 1100R33 a couple of days before it goes in for servicing.
To get the navigation working, I’d need either an older MPU version, like 1300R40, or a different version of the maps—which I currently don’t have. However, this experiment has been useful in understanding what happens when you install a Trophy firmware on an SE model: what works and what doesn’t.
If a future Trophy firmware with enhanced features gets leaked, it might be worth trying on the SE.

My current configuration:
New Features in 1300R59 (previously unavailable in 1100R33)
- MPU: 1300R59
- MCU: 69.3.8.0 (I chose to revert to the original MCU from R33, I’ve experienced no ill effects so far)
- Weather display
- Amazon Music
- Ability to restrict charging to a certain percentage even with the LFP battery
- 4G Hotspot/Wi-Fi
- MG TouchPoint
Features unavailable in 1300R59 (previously available in 1100R33)
- As far as I’ve tested: None, but the “switch off car” button is not readily available on the drop-down menu anymore (it’s still located of course in the menus)
Trophy features not (yet?) available due to software limitations:
- Navigation: The elephant in the room.
- Voice control: Pressing the voice command button brings up the voice UI, but it’s not functional since the voice engine isn’t installed. It may be possible to install it using the “Map & VR data USB upgrade” option in the system menu if we can grab the correct file.
- Navigation/ display in the instrument cluster: Requires an additional ECU upgrade.

- Heated steering wheel: The SE model doesn’t have a heated steering wheel, so the icon in the A/C panel is inoperative.
- Immersive sound system: The SE lacks a subwoofer and some speakers, so this feature is not available.
- 3D cameras: Not installed in the SE. The UI only shows a diagram similar to R33’s, using the ultrasonic sensors (including distance).
It’s a pity they aren’t included—heated seats are much more efficient than the cabin heater.Do heated seats work? In the Netherlands the SE version doesn't have heated seats.

The map update packed contains MD5 file, if i remember right it's "maps\file_verification". It's possible that if you delete it, the car's installer will install map data without MD5 verification.The installation began as expected, but about halfway through, it was interrupted by an MD5 check error, causing it to abort.
Thanks, I tried that too, of course… but no luck.The map update packed contains MD5 file, if i remember right it's "maps\file_verification". It's possible that if you delete it, the car's installer will install map data without MD5 verification.
preheating the HV battery when you go to the DC charge stationWhat advantage do you see in co-opting the Trophy navigation system?
Have you gone into the android system, storage to see what the internal capacity is?Thanks, I tried that too, of course… but no luck.
I did manage to install the stock Australian maps without modifying anything. While it wouldn’t display the map due to location issues, the installation itself was successful.
One key difference is that the Australian maps are a mere 1GB large, while the European maps are a hefty 20GB…
Has the navigator been activated in the settings?Yes, I’ve been using USB 3.1 and older sticks formatted to FAT32 or vFAT, all from a PC running on Windows 11.

Yes, navs and avn are both validatedHas the navigator been activated in the settings?
The navigator has a remote activation and I assume it is linked to the VIN of the car.
The string that corresponds to that message is "SdcardNotValidForVehicleErrorMessage" and comes from telenav, but "Sdcard" does not make much sense, but perhaps it is just a side effect of the discrepancy in the version of the car
That’s what I plan to do tonight, using the @ methodHave you gone into the android system, storage to see what the internal capacity is?
