    Just updated mine. Took about 2.5hrs to download on a 50Mbps NBN and 45 mins to update in the car using a 32GB Samsung EVO+ SD card. Took me 3 tries to update due to the following (tips to others):

    - MIB doesn't seem to like a card with files transferred through a Mac (somehow Mac OS dumped a few hidden files into the card) - resolved using Clean My Drive 2 app to remove any junk files. Lock the card to prevent further writing to the card once done
    - All 3 files once unzipped ("MIB1", "MIB2" and a txt file) SHOULD be in the root of the card (not in under another folder which is by default normally once you unzip)

    I gave up ever using my Macs, it always halts the download and can't restart it. I use my slower work computer on the slower network there to download.

    Yep after getting to just over 7gb three times I gave up on the Mac and brought it down no problems on the old PC.

    Yes, you will find that you will have to visit a dealer, pay some $$ (most likely) and have them register extended maps and code your car. Then you'll be able to download them with your VIN.

    Even from the VW site the map won't install into the car unless the car is encoded to allow that date version to work.
