Categories: navigation

If you have Peugeot (im my case 308) with SMEG/SMEG+ Touchscreen 7" navigation system it is required to sometimes update maps.
You can find maps on Official Peugeot Navigation, but you must pay some money for it.
On forums you can find maps for free and manual how to do update.

On this link is tutorial on English.

You will need to have the engine running to install the maps. If you stop the engine, you will need to restart the installation process

What to download and what you need

  • Maps ( I download RT6-V115.zip, from beginning of 2020 - OK for me)
  • Java unlock key generator (download this)
  • USB Stick (used 16GB one)

Prepare USB Stick

Find your USB Stick name and partition

gotanbl~:>lsblk -fp 

Find disk named /dev/sdb and partition /dev/sdb1.
Format it to FAT32, disk must be unmounted.

gotanbl:~>sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdb1

Prepare maps

  1. Unpack zip file, RT6-V115.zip (5,2GB).
  2. Copy it to the root of USB Stick

Retrieving your Activation Key

To install the maps on the SMEG+ you need to insert an Activation Key, which can be done using the Key Generator.

  1. Unpack generator_java-RT6.rar
  2. Run generator
    gotanbl:~>java -jar generator.jar
    

javagenerator

Java Generator

which folder to choose

Choose appropriate folder to generate Activation Code

Select CCT.DAT.INF from SMEG_PLUS_UPG/DATA folder, not from root folder

This will generate Activation Code, save it or write on paper

vin_code=XXXXXXXX
Activation key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  #16 numbers
