GUIDE: Updating the firmware, maps and installing risk areas (RADARs) on NG4

[NF7]

Hi i just have a question.

i just installed the maps and it seems the poi list is missing. when driving around the maps work fine and we seen poi icons but when going into the poi list itself there is nothing there.

any idea what it might be or do i need a seperate download for that.

POI search is not working overall with these maps.

Hello everyone, friends! A curiosity: have you ever tried the AUX-RCA inputs (in the glove compartment) with an iPhone? What is possible to do? Is useful ? I have never tried it in my life!
Thanks !!!

By purchasing some additional tech, you can get Apple CarPlay on your screen. But its a bit of an expensive task.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm interested. How you do it ? What should I buy?

Hi,
is a Map Update for NG4 aviable, 2024?

It is available, but a free link was not yet created/found. The cost for download that I found around the internet is about 20€. I'm not that interested in purchasing it at this time.

If you are - this is the link Download Cartes_NG4_2024_2.zip

If you can upload it to Dropbox, send me the link I can download it and upload it again to Mega (as it has better speeds) and then put the link to the first page.

Here are the 2024-2 MAPS. I have not tested them yet, but I'm fairly confident they work based on the folder structure I inspected.

Thanks a lot RCZ-Fan!
There is a "DS_Store" file on the root. I delete it.

Yes, it seems it remained because I zipped the file on MAC OS.

I updated the new 2024 maps yesterday with the 0x26 error at the finish line.
After starting the update again, it goes back to 83% and the job will be finished.
I tryed it again today with the same result. But the maps works!
Do someone knows what the error 0x26 really means?

 

[NF7]

The download ZIP has been fixed. Without any extra folders.

Additionally, here is the RISK AREAS for April 2024 LINK

EDIT: Maps (2024_2) and RISK AREAS (April 2024) have been tested! For maps 0x26 error appears at 84%, pressing OK and keeping the USB in the slot will reboot the unit and finish the install.

Risk Areas working normally.

Excellent post

This makes no sense to me. I'm really puzzled about this right now. I'll check tomorrow, but the maps originate from here I believe (2021 Sat Nav Map Discs | Sat Nav Update) and Bulgaria is listed among the supported countries.

Help! Ive had absolutely no problem updaitng the maps my problem is with the POI, there are none! any ideas what i am doing wrong? it goes the the updating process, tells me to remove the update media before restarting but when i go to POI its empty

The previous guide is a little bit old so I decided to update it with the latest possible FW, latest maps, and updated risk areas.

LATEST FIRMWARE: N42c (final update - SatNav support discontinued after 2016).
LATEST MAPS: EUROPE 2024-2 (For Eastern Europe (maps 2020-2) use this LINK)
LATEST RISK AREAS/RADARS: EU RADARS 2024.4 (APRIL 2024 Update)

All files are available in their respective parts of the guide.

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE

1. Check your installed firmware version via SETUP -> Settings -> Version Information
2. If you see N42c anywhere in the presented firmware version you already have the latest firmware and you do not need to update it. You can move to the MAP updating part of the guide. If you do not have the latest version, proceed to step 3.
3. Download this file: LINK
4. Prepare USB 32GB or SD CARD formatted as FAT32, 64KB Cluster size.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FORMAT VIA WINDOWS AND DO NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. The regular format will take more time, but it is absolutely necessary.

5. Extract the downloaded file and put all files into the ROOT of the USB/SD CARD. Enable in Windows to view "hidden files" and check if any file other than that of the firmware generated in the root of the USB / SD CARD. If you see any "rogue" files, delete them.
6. Turn on the car. Keep it running and insert the USB or SD CARD into their locations (SD CARD in front of the Console, USB under the armrest).
7. If you followed the guide the NG4 system will automatically detect and prompt you to start the update. Click yes on the console and wait for it to finish.

KEEP THE CAR RUNNING UNTIL IN FINISHES WITH THE UPDATE. You do not want the car to turn off and cancel the update. It could destroy your system.

8. When the NG4 resets check the firmware version again. If you see N42c the update was successful.

UPDATING THE MAPS

1. Download this file: LINK (2024-2 with original 2016 POI from PSA).

2. Prepare USB 32GB or SD CARD formatted as FAT32, 64KB Cluster size.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FORMAT VIA WINDOWS AND DO NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. The regular format will take more time, but it is absolutely necessary.

3. Extract all files from the ZIP file to the ROOT of the USB / SD CARD. Enable in Windows to view "hidden files" and check if any file other than that of the map files included in the ZIP file generated in the root of the USB / SD CARD. If you see any "rogue" files, delete them.

This is how your USB / SD Stick should look like after copying the files (everything should be the same, except the last file which is from the 2020 maps):
View attachment 11365

4. Turn on the car. Keep it running and insert the USB or SD CARD into their locations (SD CARD in front of the Console, USB under the armrest).
5. If you did everything correctly, the NG4 will recognize the new maps automatically and prompt you to start the update. It takes around 40-50 minutes. It is advised to drive around with the car in the meantime.

KEEP THE CAR RUNNING UNTIL IT FINISHES WITH THE UPDATE. You do not want the car to turn off and cancel the update. It could destroy your system.

5.1. If during the update the error 0x26E appears, just press "OK" and wait for the system to restart (leave the key or SD card connected) and it will continue the update.

6. When it finishes, it will prompt you to press OK and remove the USB/SD CARD. Remove it and ONLY THEN press OK. After the NG4 System resets check the map version via SETUP -> When in the setup menu LONG PRESS SETUP -> GPS Information -> Map Versions. You should see "NG4 EUROPE 2023-Version-1.0".

UPDATING THE RISK AREAS

1. Download this file: LINK
2. Prepare USB 32GB or SD CARD formatted as FAT32, 64KB Cluster size.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FORMAT VIA WINDOWS AND DO NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. The regular format will take more time, but it is absolutely necessary.

3. Extract all files from the ZIP file to the ROOT of the USB / SD CARD. Enable in Windows to view "hidden files" and check if any file other than that of the files included in the risk areas ZIP file generated in the root of the USB / SD CARD. If you see any "rogue" files, delete them.
4. Turn on the car and go to NAVIGATION -> SETTINGS -> IMPORT MY POINTS OF INTEREST
5. Select the Media you used (USB or SD CARD) and press YES to validate, that it will overwrite all previous risk areas.
6. After it finishes with the installation of risk areas (takes approx 10 seconds) a message appears to confirm a restart of the NG4 system and to remove the USB/SD CARD. Remove and press OK.
7. When the NG4 System restarts, all you have to do is to enable the risk areas/radars alerts in the Navigation menu. SETTINGS -> RISK AREA SETTINGS -> ENABLE all options.
8. You can check the latest risk areas/radars update in the same menu, that you used to check the MAP Version.

CAUTION. Proceed with every step at your own risk. It is extremely dangerous and it can destroy your NG4 system. No one on this forum or the forum itself is responsible for the caused damage and possible expenses.

I managed to install everything in one afternoon with no issues (my car is RCZ 2013 model). Take your time, follow the steps and it should be fine.

EDIT: Updated the link for the maps and updated the guide a bit - added a photo of how should USB / SD Card root directory look like after copying the files.
EDIT 2: Added the link for Eastern Europe maps - maps from 2020 (Courtesy of Ross_Russev)
EDIT #: Updated the links for MAPS and RISK AREAS - due to new updates.

POI do not work. They will show on the map, but will not work through search. Consequence of using non-original maps.

Ahh, ok, I will stop trying to get it to work now then! thanks

One of the reasons why I still use the latest official Peugeot 2016 maps.
