For anyone who may be interested...

I did the updates last night on both cars. Took a few minutes per vehicle. In the update tool (on the Mac) I elected to only download the Aus/NZ update package - I can't see either of my vehicles being used abroad during my period of ownership ;)

Total size of the update package was ~800MB on the SD card. My wifes Passat (B8 Comfortline) was V 2016, my Alltrack Wolfsburg was V2017, however the update still applied as the software on the card was newer than what was on the vehicle.

No differences noticed thus far, but I am now happy to know that latest map data is applied to both vehicles.

Such a simple process (THANK YOU VW!) that my intention at this stage is to perform the update on the 6-monthly release cycle of the updated software versions.

Thanks for your help / guidance and assistance guys!!!

All sorted :banana:

The update on the car took only 25mins to do the full 27.1GB update for the "ROW" updated.

My Version Information is as follows;

VO39598O1EDOO65 ROW 2017/2018 Australia 2017/2018 New Zealand 2017/2018

All works without fault!

I did this with by Wolfsberg 2017 passat. I now believe that the speed limits change for schools zones (Australia) at the required times. (7.30-9am) Have only seen it with the ones where there are the actual lights installed (as the sign) so far. Very cool.

I don't think the 206 uses an SD card, I looked for one and it looks like an empty slot.

doc_777
16-10-2017, 08:26 AM
You need to supply your own card. The maps are stored on internal storage once you upload them to the system via the SD card. Both slots work (if you vehicle is equipped with two in the glove compartment) - doesn't matter which one you use.

The tool wants to update and says it will update to version
V03.959.801.ED 0065 ROW 2017/2018. I already had this update installed from about 9 months ago...

Has anyone found anything newer, or know how to get the newer version?

31-01-2018, 11:39 AM
The Aus site does not have an update available at the moment. The international site has an update available which supposedly includes our region, but that does not mean Aus updates are included.

I recommend waiting until the Aus site has an update available (navigation.com)

I managed to complete the download but not without my mac deciding to sleep 2-3 times during the process. I unfortunately met with the same frustrations as everyone else with the data being corrupt.

I'm currently trying again and the download has about an hour to go and has yet to be interrupted. Fingers crossed.



UPDATE: I've managed to download the entire 24gb file without corruptions.

I've downloaded the file listed above.. Quite large being RoW.
Can you omit irrelevant places from the SD card to make it smaller/quicker?
I don't think I'll need the maps for Africa, Asia, South America, Middle East...

Or does it all need the right version?

You download the ROW version and it will only load the necessary maps into the infotainment I think.

Not 100% sure.

thats weird. Silly IT troubleshooting I know, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

I only ask because I couldn’t get the map update to take on my cars if I downloaded the update pack and unzipped it to a card. Would update the sw version, not the maps. Using discover pro, it update both.

Hopefully vw sort out the DiscoverCare situation and get it working reliably - it’s handy having the all in one, download manager, card prep etc.

DiscoverCare only shows 0076 to me. Am I missing something?

discovercare hasn’t ticked over yet. My gut feel is that it’s a date formatting issue - wait until 6th or 7th of July and try again.

Just go here Pick your model Pick your MIB and download the required map Unzip it to a folder Put contents of folder in the ROOT directory of an SD card and away you go

Volkswagen Map & Softwareupdates (https://webspecial.volkswagen.de/vwinfotainment/int/en/index/downloads/maps-download#/)



All files are dated this month


Should end up with this on SD card

MIB 1

MIB 2

metainfo 2

WMP info

Thats whats on my card

Okay I just tried this and heres what I got. Using discover care 1.04 I ended up with ROW 76

BY doing what i said above and NOT USING Discover care i got ROW79 on 3 different attempts

So just download it and do as I said and you end up at the same point by a different route

Read what i posted carefully as if you copy the WHOLE FOLDER you extracted to to the Sd card it WONT WORK

You only copy the CONTENTS of it The screenshot is of the contents of the extracted folder on the SD card and is the ROOT DIRECTORY of the card

oj4rec
21-06-2019, 02:10 PM
yes, the content is in the root.

Hillbilly
21-06-2019, 02:19 PM
yes, the content is in the root.

Well it should work as thats what I had to do when it wouldnt work It only finds stuff in the root directory and if you have say a folder

called ROW79 and extract into that you have to open it and copy the shown folders and the file onto the card.

I didnt the first time and it couldnt find anything so I went back to the ROW76 card I had and looked at how it was.

I did it like i posted and it worked. I actually just copied it onto a card with stuff on it and it found the folders Ok and installed the update.

If you use Discover care it formats the card first

Looks like it was Mac related issue after all (regardless me deleting all hidden folders).
I've put the card into Windows laptop, full format, re-downloaded the maps, unpacked and copied into the card.

Click on the link It will bring up a box with a file name int it and asking if you want to save it or open it, Save it When you have done that go to location and Unzip it to a folder on your HDD

Get an SD card with 32 GIGABYTE CAPACITY Make sure its formatted in FAT 32

Copy the folder you unzipped it to onto the SD card

Put it in the DISCOVER PRO and tell it to update.

If you have a MAC that you are trying to do it on Chuck it in the bin and use a PC

Try it with that it might work as it seems some reckon it does Where did you get an 80GB card thats a weird size and it wont format as Fat32 without a special formatting program as Fat 32 only works in Windows up to 32GB cards

Also are you using a PC or a Mac


You should have 2 folders named Mib 1 and Mib2 and a file named Metainfo.2text in the root directory of the card
You can extract it directly to the card OK

If you use Discover Care it does all that directly for you

32 gb card IS big enough as I downloaded that file onto one this morning to see if it would do it right Are you sure that like another poster it isnt a 32 MEGABYTE card instead of a 32 GIGABYTE card

No dice it's still saying : "Error: no data available please insert a source with software. or check the source"

Used a windows 7 machine this time and Fat32 as ive downloaded the file onto 2 different machines. For some reason I get a size error using the win10 machine.

I have the correct files downloaded Mib1, Mib2 and Metainfo.

I suspect that the Scandisk is the issue but i'm sure I used a similar one last time.

I'll pick up another SD card on the weekend and give it one more shot and if it doesn't work just wait for the next update. Thanks for your help.

hi all, my first post. Had finally managed to update the system after lots of tries. Sharing my experience and hope it would help people.
From my experience, I used two different SD cards (class 10) of different brands (Sandisk and Lexar). It made no difference (both failed). I tried different formats (FAT32, exFAT and NTFS) using both Mac OS and Win 10, this made no difference (i.e. all failed). Tried WINRAR on Win 10 and RAR extractor on Mac, failed. Tried a USB, with all the above tricks, failed. Tried to access secret menu by holding Menu button on the unit, which allowed me to see folders and files, failed. Tried using either MIB1 or 2, failed. I was frustrated almost to the point of forking out $$$$ for a dealer, but sanity hadn't left me after weeks of ISO.

What worked was using 7-ZIP on window to extract the file directly onto a USB (FAT32 format). Copied 2 folders and txt file to the root folder. It worked flawlessly. Took about an hour to update.

I have just updated the maps on a Passat B8 206. I used DiscoverCare_v.1.0.4_win and the interface has change a little. It now asks what your car is and the from date of manufacture (in my case from 2014 ->). The next page you get there is a drop down box where you pick your map in our case multi region is the puppy.

From there it is straight forward but be prepared for a long wait approx 3 hours 30 minute's. In the end you get 2020/2021 maps.

Thanks for the links and instructions. Just did my 2018 206 wagon, I didn't use the discover tool, just did a straight copy of the files to SD card, card into SD slot 1 in car, install, done in about 25 minutes.
After stop/start system stopped working a month or so back, I also had a new battery and 2 relays replaced yesterday under warranty.
