Map update?

[ajdean]

My MY18 Tig came with 2017 maps installed, and I’m trying to work out if there is a newer version available. I’m pretty sure there should be a 2018 version by now?

I have downloaded the DiscoverCare app on my iMac, but cannot work out how to download the Aus map. The Aus map is contained in a ROW file that is over 24gb, and clearly includes a hell of a lot of countries I don’t need!

Has anyone worked this out?

Cheers

[Chalnoth]

Latest map update I recently downloaded is V.03.959.801.ED 0065 ROW 2017/2018. I had to use the app to download the whole 24GB ROW map onto a new SD Card to transfer to car.

Thanks Chalnoth - that's the one I have downloaded. Did you just extract the entire zip file onto the root of the SD Card and put it into the car?

Hi - here's the link you need. You will need to download a program called DiscoverCare, which will then let you download the ROW map update needed

Ajdean.
After downloading discovercare what market is applicable, I’m guessing multi region map 2 for media gen 2. Is this correct. ???
also what navigation system did you download as the discover media has a later update compared to the descover pro.

As awesome as this is, I prefer Google Maps. "OK Google" works so much better than the VW Discover Media's voice recognition.

I actually swapped phones from a long time iPhone user to a Samsung S8 just so that Google Maps works.

What do you guys use? Google Maps, iMaps or VW Discover Media?

[Adz11]

If you have an Android you can also download waze which is quite good.

[Delewin]

My Tiguan has a Discover Pro and not the Discover Media. Thank you Ajdean for the link. I have bookmarked it and installed the Discovercare software. My current map is the latest according to VW. I will check back later in January 2018 to see if the Discover Pro maps have been updated. I understand VW updates these maps twice a year.

Again, many thanks,

David

How do you know if you have Discover Pro or Discover Media?

I have a row of buttons left and right and two dials so I assumed I had Discover Media but on second thoughts, I think it is a Discover Pro.

It is a 2017 Highline...

[mickofoz]

VW have maps version 8/8/17 on their website but the DiscoverCare App only updates to May 2017. Why would that be?

[bestyjny]

From my (European) experience, DiscoverCare application is interesting ... but useless. It didn't show last map update, but direct download from mentioned website and manually transfer to SD Card (I have Discover Media) makes my maps in car 2018 version.

Early in 2017 in time of the first from two updates per year, DiscoverCare asked me to update my SD Card.

I think it's because DiscoverCare app takes data from navigation.com where I didn't found last update (Dec `17).

[spacemannz]

I have the Discover Pro MY18 (no knobs, touch buttons). All of the literature refers to an SD card in slot two, but I was not supplied with one. Should there have been one in the SD slot when I took delivery?

No, the maps are saved on the internal drive. You can use the DiscoverCare App to create a new SD card when updating. You don't need one from VW.

Just following up my post now I am back online. I have Discover Pro in my MY18 Tiguan. Dealer told me I had latest maps but using the Discover Care utility I updated to V.03.959.801.ED 0065 ROW 2017/2018. Based on conversations above I took a look at the separate manual download file and discovered this is an even newer map. New update installed is V.03.959.801.EE 0068 ROW 2018.


Looking inside the files I can see that 065 was put together 2016-12-14 and 068 was put together in 2017-07-04.

Thanks for that - would it be possible for you to take a screen shot of what files you have on the root of your sdcard? I still cannot get the update to work in my car! Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated

In the file I downloaded there are a n7mber of folders, including an MIB1 and MIB2 folder so not sure what needs to be on the sdcard

[Chalnoth]

All I did was extract the whole P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.7z (24,149,160 size) file to the root of the SD card.

I have Mib1, Mib2 folders and metainfo2.txt, P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.md5 files

[bestyjny]

I have Discover Pro in my MY18 Tiguan.

Why did you tried to do things from the back side? With Discover PRO you have an online update feature. Connect car to your home/mobile WIFI and use option to update maps - I have Discover Media, so no on-line option available for me, but I remember that my friend told me he had to have car powered on (w/o engine running) to keep maps updating.

[Chalnoth]

Is this available in Australia?

[mickofoz]

Is this available in Australia?

I don‘t think so as we don‘t have CarNet in Australia. All online functions go through CarNet in Europe. I asked VW Australia recently if they are planning on bringing CarNet to Australia, but they didn’t even know what I was talking about and I was told there is no such thing from VW. Sigh...

[bestyjny]

This is not a Car-Net feature. In your Navigation settings, you should find an option called "download manager" (direct translation from Polish Discover PRO). Not sure exactly where it is, but for sure in Navigation - not Car Settings or Car-Net section.

Like I sad, I have Discover Media in mine and sadly I can't provide you photos.

EDIT:

Here you have how this screen looks like in Polish version of DP in Passat:

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2018/01/99nwxu-1.jpg

For sure, initially you need to change Packet dropdown to Map Update. In PRO you can select which countries you want to download - in difference to Media version, where you need to download all to SD Card.

[mickofoz]

Like I said, online services are not enabled in Australia. I can see the settings using VCDS and I have enabled these in my car but due to the lack of CarNet services, all online funstions, even map updates, are not available.
Please, I hope someone can prove me wrong.

[bestyjny]

That's sad. I'm sorry, it looks like you are right. There is no online map update for your region :(

[ewok666]

All I did was extract the whole P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.7z (24,149,160 size) file to the root of the SD card.

I have Mib1, Mib2 folders and metainfo2.txt, P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.md5 files

32084

Can I ask where you got the file from? I just downloaded the update program from VW and it offers the 065 version as the latest update.

Edit: Never mind. Worked it out ;-)

[Chalnoth]

Just a heads up. New maps released for Discover Pro
"P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT_v2.7z" dated 2018-01-17

Thanks for that - that's the one we're all waiting for :-)

I'm really struggling to download the file successfully - The server keeps dropping the connection and when I eventually get a full (single file) download, I get errors unzipping with 7zip... Perhaps the new release is drawing a lot of download traffic on the site.
If I use the DiscoverCare updater tool if only downloads the P65 version...

Has anyone successfully download and unpacked the P68 version yet?

I’m in the same boat as you. I have downloaded the file twice now, and cannot get it to extract due to some sort of error in the files relating to India. Frustrating!

[Delewin]

Hi All,

I ran the Udater and like othwrs identified a new update and downloaded it to a 32Gb SDXC card. (All 27Gb) I then placed it in the SD1 slot of my 2017 series 2 Tiguan and Updated my maps, etc.

Success!

Prior to updating to this map, I previously updated in July 2017. That Update was a later map version than the maps that came with the car. My July 2017 map version was V03959801EC0 062 ROW 2017 Australia 2017.

The latest update installed today is version V03959801ED0 065 ROW 2017/2018 Australia.

Could it be the previous post citing P68 map version is for the Discover Media and not Discover Pro?

What I do know is 065 version is listed as 2017/2018 and my previous version was 2017 only. So it is my conclusion that the 065 version is the latest for the Series 2 Tiguan in Australia using a Discovery Pro head unit.

David

[Chalnoth]

Same here, multiple data errors in the download. Looking at the file creation dates and sizes it seems to be the same map data as the previous one so not really an update

I can tell you that P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT.7z which is the prior download definitely had newer maps than P65 with only a 2018 date. This P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT_v2.7z version seems to be a faulty repack of that file

Tried that already. The map will work, but if you have TMC activated the it breaks the TMC functionality as TMC relies on some files in the map to work properly.

Stay with 0821 on Navigation.com if you want TMC to work. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two map versions. DiscoverCare will also not show the map available on the German site.

Seconded. It installs fine.
I unzipped all the files into the root of a 32GB USB flash drive formatted as EXFAT - no SD card required.
Note if you are using a Mac, the instructions recommend you use Keka to unzip reliably (AU$2.99 from Mac app store), and CleanMyDrive 2 to remove hidden Mac system files that confuse the head unit (Free from Mac app store). I used both to be on the safe side.

Now to find out what was and wasn't updated in the map data :-D

[ewok666]

Has anyone come across this: Find a new destination, 155 George St, The Rocks, NSW 2000, Discover Pro finds it no problem, click on it and it wants to take you to Redfern (NSW 2016). WTF?

[spudee]

I am 72 years old, so not particularly tech savvy and I am trying to upgrade the maps on my Mk7 (2014) Golf GTI. Have been reading lots of posts here and elsewhere about downloading the latest update from the German site and I think, against all the odds given my distinct lack of knowledge, I have managed to do this to my PC. The file name seems to be correct at P68_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT_v2 (1).7z Now I am reading posts about unzipping files which is a complete mystery to me. So do I somehow have to unzip the file I downloaded before attempting to transfer it to my car's system? If so, how do I do this? Then, if I do manage this, do I just copy the unzipped file from my PC to a 32GB sim card and place it in one of the slots in my GTI's glove box? Thank you for any help and patient understanding.

Yes, you need to unzip the file first. The software to do this (7zip) is available on the page that you downloaded the map file from. I would unzip the downloaded file to my computer first them move the unzipped (expanded) folder to a USB stick or SD card.

[PeteC]

Phew. Took a bit of fiddling, but managed to update the maps to the latest 2018-2019 version. (MRM2_2718_1010)
My car came with an SD card in slot 1, which has a map. I took the card, used the Discovery software on my PC to update, but it always failed during the installation.
Then I downloaded the 6.7 GB map file separately, extracted and copied onto the card. Before that, I had to scan and repair the SD card once.
Now it works. Can it be that my Media unit does not have an internal memory? I could not find an option to copy the map data onto the internal memory. My previous Tiguan had a HDD in the head unit.

[hcvo1]

Hi all,

Just a quick update, a newer version of the maps has been released "P71" and is avaliable here Volkswagen Map & Softwareupdates (http://webspecial.volkswagen.de/vwinfotainment/int/en/index/downloads/maps-download#/?car=caa01e0f-eba7-455f-929f-0e302c2a1d50&navi=57200c60-96a5-431f-80ed-a2f8456f19f4)

I haven't found any newer version of the maps you mentioned. The latest maps were released back in April, still that is showing on the website you linked. I checked the maps for Tiguan and for Discover Media unit. The latest is the MRM2_2718_1010, I am not sure what the P71 means in your post.

[hcvo1]

Oh I should have clarified that I have the Discovery Pro (2017 Tiguan). The 71 refers to the start of the file name. The one previous to that was Jan 18 which started with 68 (see previous threads) The latest one is what you have mentioned which was an April update, which has only been uploaded to the website recently

Same problem here until NOW. Just spent the last hour trying to get it working.
After playing around with the file structure (copying files into sub folders etc.) I managed to finally update MyPOIs. Will test later tonight, fingers crossed.
Update:
Can confirm it works for me now. I get a chime when approaching the speed cams. Next step is to see if it is possible to make a louder chime or Speed Camera speech.
uploaded the working folder and file for those who have been struggling like me to get it working.

Make sure you have the file called "metainfo2' and the folder 'PersonalPOI' on the root of the USB or SDcard, whatever you are using. I use usb as it is easier to go from PC to car.

Only other option to try is going back to the previous MAP, 'maybe' it isnt compatible with updated map version.
I did not install the new updated map that you have 'DiscoverMedia2_MRM2_2718_1010' as it doesnt support Traffic Messages that I prefer to keep.

[PeteC]

Nah, didn't work with the previous map either (USB and SD).
Same error message.

Every time I plug in the USB or SD card the unit says "software update available", but when I try to update the MyPOIs, I get the same error message.
Feels like either the update is somehow not enabled in my unit or because there is no internal memory (HDD or SSD) in my Discover Media it cannot update. My unit has the map SD card and reads it from there.

We have the same Navigation database and map however my Device version is older than yours, you have the newer unit. I would only suggest trying the various speedcamera file versions people have already uploaded.
As you are getting the message "software update available" this means that the unit is detecting the initial config file (metainfo2.txt) on the root of your USB/SD, the problem is when it reads (this file?) and/or the other config files in the sub folders (MIB2DE, MIB2HIGH and MIB2TSD) as they contain the details of the files to use in this update package. Good Luck. Make sure you dont have any hidden files on the root of your USB/SD card.

[PeteC]

I tried already 4-5 different versions.
For a moment I was thinking that maybe this function is disabled in my unit and wanted to ask some VCDS expert to have a look.

When you put your USB in and went to the menu of updating POIs, after clicking on the Update button, did it show you the sources to choose from: USB, SD, etc or it went straight and updated it?
And just to confirm, the USB or SD has to be formatted as FAT32, right?

When I insert the USB and go to the map settings Update POIs, after clicking Update button it automatically scans the USB and does NOT ask me for source. In SD slot 1 I have the map data, in SD slot 2 I have my music files, so I used USB for updating. Fat32 YES.

It is free to download, but you can only import 50 map points with it. You have to donate 9 Euros to the developer to unlock the software completely. FYI: there are more than 600 speed camera map points in Australia.

Just joined the forum to let you know that I downloaded and installed your uploaded files successfully into my MIB11 without any problems. It even uninstalled my out of date old POI files. Many thanks Pete.

Just wondering if the POIs that you used included NSW by chance or all states. My POIs were extremely out of date and redundant.
Also where were you able to obtain the POIs online and how up to date they were.

My file is including all the fixed speed cameras in Australia, more than 630 map points, I downloaded it from poidb.com, which should have the latest updates.
I am looking now to update it with traffic light speed cameras. I have the unlocked software, I donated 9 Euros to the developer :)

[PeteC]

Just added all the cameras in Australia to this version (fixed, red light, point to point, etc) and replaced the black camera icon with a blue one to better match with the existing icons in the navi. 1912 map points altogether. And added POIs for Mcdonald's.

This is for Discover Media units only. There is another post later for Discover Pro units.

Hi PeteC. Successfully downloaded and installed the NEW file (many thanks again). When installed they all came up as only cameras POI in the list on the screen with a black camera icon in the menu. Does this new file include all of the cameras from your original file you uploaded or do I need to install both separately. PS Did notice that your new upload file was a much larger file size.

Once again many thanks for your generosity

Thanks PeteC - greatly appreciate your efforts.
I tried to update my POIs with this file but no luck - same error message you had earlier.
As a check, I installed your previously uploaded file and it worked worked fine.
It seems there is a difference in the folder count and files in the PersonalPOI folder.
I have the MIBII Discover Pro (9.2 with no knobs, only soft touch buttons).
As I'm a Mac user, the POInspector won't work for me (not that I'm too cheap to spend the EUR9,00).

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The files I saved are meant to be for Discover Media units only. There is a tick box for Discover Pro units during saving, which I did not use.
I will save it for Discover Pro soon and share it here soon so you can try.

Yes it includes the previous map points as those were only fixed speed cameras.
I am still looking for a better camera icon, so will do some search and will try to change if I find a better one.

For me, I inserted the SD card and i waited a few minutes while it said "searching for update data" nothing was happening, fearing another fail attempt I cancelled it, and tried again. This time it went straight to the updating screen with the progress bar and Halelujah! POIs loaded

No worries. You can also download the VW Discover Care software and use that to find and download the latest map updates. Easy as.

[bestyjny]

There is an easy way to upload POIs via Car-Net -> Car-Net (https://www.volkswagen-car-net.com). I'm not sure do you have free access to service for first few years like we have in Europe and also not sure what will be disabled after "trial" period.

To sync your car with Car-Net you can share network access from your mobile phone.

On the website there is also a description how to create a custom lists before upload.

Hoping someone here can help with my issues trying to update maps....I've read through this thread and a few others but can't seem to work out what's wrong.

I have one of the first boatload arrivals of the "new" Tiguan, back in Oct 2016. Looking at the original SD card in Slot 1, it's got the single "maps" folder, with several subfolders 21,22,23,24,27 and EEC. I believe mine is the DiscoverMedia model rather than DiscoverPro.

I went through the VW link posted earlier here, to download the appropriate map
Volkswagen Map & Softwareupdates (https://webspecial.volkswagen.de/vwinfotainment/int/en/index/downloads/maps-download#/)

This downloaded a 6.91GB file "DiscoverMedia2_MRM2_2718_1010.7z" which when unzipped using 7zip, gave the exact same file structure as the original card, ie. single maps folder with the same subfolders as described above.

I copied the maps folder to a newly formatted FAT32 card (all using Windows), but when I inserted this new card into my Tiguan, keep getting the error message "Please insert a data medium with valid navigation data".

I've re-checked the contents of my new card and can't find any weird hidden files. I've even tried downloading the DiscoverPro file which is a lot bigger with different folder structures, but that one obviously failed.

All assistance greatly appreciated, as I'm currently on map version MRM2 2016/17 :(

You must use the Original SD CARD supplied with car, only.

[kacak]

You must use the Original SD CARD supplied with car, only.

That worked, many thanks. I must have confused the new card step with those with the newer DiscoverPro where maps are stored internally

[jjsaraiva]

Ah, so just backup the old maps folder from the original card and copy over the newly extracted one?

Yes. You backup the files into your PC and can format the original card supplied. Remember to check the position of white lock switch. It must be released to allow you format and copy new files unziped.

You either do it with Discover Care which puts the correct stuff straight onto an SD card or you unzip the files to a folder and put the CONTENTS of that folder in the root directory of the SD card.

If you did it in the last week Discover Care would give you the latest map as it was updated ibefore the 15th of the month.

But if you followed what I said you would have got it ok I actually had it on the 2nd of the month off the Skoda site.

Thanks again The links are in reply 102 and 105. WHen you open them follow instructions

There should be SD slots in the car probably in the glovebox where that hardly ever read book resides

You need to provide your own SD card unless your unit uses a VW one..

Is there software that you can use to create your own POIs and then load up via SD card

[TIG162R]

hey all, can anyone confirm if the latest P79 map update stops TMC from working and if so is there a way to get it working again?

[Hillbilly]

Works on mine but i had that map installed before I coded it in.

Probably check the coding

Enable Traffic Information (TMC) on Headunit
This enables the ‘Traffic’ button to work on the headunit, and will use radio frequency data to display nearby traffic information. Once activated, in may take over an hour for the initial messages to appear.

Select Control Unit 5F (Information Control Unit)
Adaptations
Change Fee Based Traffic Information (TMC) value to ‘1024’
Next, in the normal radio settings, enable ‘Traffic Programme (TP)’ and RDS
If you get an error, turn the headunit OFF and try again.

[Simonr23]

Many updates (not just gps related) reset different coding ‘enable’ functions. So far, they’ve all been possible- doing the process again, each time.

[TIG162R]

Thanks Hillbilly & Simonr23 - I've just updated to P79 using a USB stick. Can confirm the map update was a success & TMC is still working & was not effected. I had the car engine ON during the whole process.

[TIG162R]

Is there a way to have the POI's displayed in the Active Info Display?

The Skoda one is exactly the same just with a different file name

just wary of applying a file downloaded not from official VW site

It is the actual file which is the VW one

You dont even need to open that file Just put the whole folder on a SD card and stick it in the unit

Has been working in my VW since it was posted

[notaGolfR]

I have it installed now & all seems well. Thanks VERY much!


I did it via the link you had on post 134.


I had to "allow" my "HTTPS Everywhere" blocker.


It did not open automatically (not on simply sticking it in at least).


I started by following the instructions in the file "Discover Pro June_2019_EN.pdf", which says " Insert the SD card into one of the SD card slots on your vehicle until it audibly clicks into place.
• Now select the “MENU” button on the Discover Pro. Click on “Update software” in the “Setup”
menu under “Version information”. Now follow the instructions on the display of the Discover Pro" but it mentioned HARDWARE so I aborted in case it messed up.
It may have found the maps software but I chose to click Menu/NAVIGATION/Settings/Version info./Update. A search began and a message appeared "Available data: NavDB Version 2020"/[NEXT]. The update began with a progress indicator running at 20% per 10'. At 100 % I waited patiently a couple of minutes & "Software update Complete OK" appeared.

[notaGolfR]

Under Version, the screen says "..... R.O.W. 2020" but lower down it only mentions Australia and NZ.

Digging into the unzipped download there are heaps of other countries.

[Hillbilly]

Under Version, the screen says "..... R.O.W. 2020" but lower down it only mentions Australia and NZ.

Digging into the unzipped download there are heaps of other countries.

So what do you want It uses the GPS to show you the map for your location ROW means REST OF WORLD and is a whole lot of countries that are NOT on the other maps It works you are overthinking things

[notaGolfR]

I was merely making an observation. I found it odd/confusing that it said R.O.W.(and it is, from the files contained) but it then went on to suggest that it was only for Australia and NZ.
I'm going to check. If it is R.O.W. I should be able to plan a route to Darwin then across to New Guinea. :eek:

[Hillbilly]

What it means is if you are in any of the countries included in the map it will know your location and show ONLY the appropriate map.

EG it doesnt show NZ if you arent in NZ and neither does the Tom tom I have which has AUS/NZ and also North America and Mexico.

I tried once to plot a course to an address in NZ but it didnt work

[notaGolfR]

That's clever of it. So if I ferried the car over to New Guinea, a version check should show New Guinea maps and might even show points of interest where there are no head-hunters :facepalm:

[Flipper Dog]

Your maps may have the information on them but they won't show anything unless you code your MIB to another region. Our vehicles will only display Australian/New Zealand regional maps.
Oh and VW don't support PNG maps, best you can do is West Papua, which is part of the Indonesian region.

That makes more sense than my assumption I guess as similar with Toyota GPS as Japanese units wont show NZ maps in imported cars

[notaGolfR]

In the Discover Pro manual 2018, page 41, under Route plan they show a symbol of 4 horizontal parallel line which means ”Shifting the intermediate destination” “Touch the symbol in the list, hold it and shift.”


I have set a long route, across about a third of Australia, and want to diverge at one point along the way from the route the system chose. From the description above, I thought that symbol would be what I should use, but I cannot see it, nor can I drag the route on the map which would be handy.


Can anyone please explain.


(Going from S.A. the route the system chooses goes from Hay to Narrandera by the Sturt Hwy Route 20, then north to West Wyalong. "The dreaded" wants to go from Hay along the Western Hwy Route 24 to West Wyalong.) "She" says I should just get up in the morning from wherever we have spent the night & plot ahead, but I want to avoid that by setting up the complete route from home before we leave. (Then I can turn on Cruise Control, with Lane Assist and various other nannies and drive automously, napping, and arrive more or less as if by plane )

[Hillbilly]

In the Discover Pro manual 2018, page 41, under Route plan they show a symbol of 4 horizontal parallel line which means ”Shifting the intermediate destination” “Touch the symbol in the list, hold it and shift.”


I have set a long route, across about a third of Australia, and want to diverge at one point along the way from the route the system chose. From the description above, I thought that symbol would be what I should use, but I cannot see it, nor can I drag the route on the map which would be handy.


Can anyone please explain.

Good luck with that Lane assist works but if you dont move the steering wheel it will stop doing so. Napping is for passengers

"She" is sensible

Must be a continuing problem with the website like late last year as its still on the Skoda site

Or just VW looking to cash in on updates?

Why worry till the June map appears or doesnt as the case may be You have the latest so why all the angst.

Going to a dealer will be hopeless as I asked were the maps up to date when I bought it and was assured they were.

They weren't as were the June version of prev year when there had been a NOV vers since.




Also for the poster wanting to go to New Guinea I tried to put in a route to a NZ address and it said no info for that location

New maps work work a treat, no major changes yet that I have noticed.
But then again I haven’t been driving much these past few days

[iDiesel]

Interesting that the VW map update site has finally updated the Euro map to 15/6/20 version, but the ROW maps are still last June’s version which they have re-linked after having removed for some months now.
Also has the following “error” message



DATABASE UPDATE.

Unfortunately, due to technical reasons the download of the software is currently disabled but it will be available again soon. In the meantime, map updates can be downloaded manually. Available bundles for your vehicle are listed below.

[Hillbilly]

No yesterday I got the June map and as I said on the Golf 7 Map thread it had NOV listed but was the correct 88 version which is the current one.

Probably everyone and his dog has crashed it by everyone trying at once


I have just tried it and by going to the download button it downloads the correct map

It appears Discover Care is what the problem is cos thats not there but the map is I never use Discover Care anyway

[doc_777]

Discovercare worked fine for me - automatically kicked off the new download the night before last, 2 hours later it was writing to the SD card.

Was there yesterday but isnt today Can still d/load the map though


It seems only the Discover PRO map is updated as the Discover media one is still the one that was there in last December at least

[iDiesel]

Glad it's available again for users to upload for themselves

[Hillbilly]

If you have Discover Care on your computer it will find the new map for Pro so will download direct to your SD card

Except its not working properly and it gives a checksum error in the 3 times Ive tried it over past two days.

A direct download works fine

Ok I formatted a 128gb card in NTFS and loaded the FOLDER with the map on it and it wouldnt load as it said no data.

I took card to PC and copied just the 3 files to the root directory of the card and deleted the folder and put it back in car

It then found and said update available.

So two things from that

NTFS works and you have to have just the 3 files on the card NOT THE FOLDER

I'm having trouble getting the files installed in the car, have tried a few different ways.
I have downloaded 2 different files that seem to potentially be the same version.

One folder name is: P88_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT
The other is: HIGH12_P88_ROW_202022
Which ones have people had success with?

So am I just copying these files straight into the SD card?

The first one is the VW version and the second one is the SKODA vers BOTH ARE IDENTICAL MAPS
so either works I have used the Skoda one on mine but the unit also finds the VW one when i tell it to update.

Yes if you have unzipped the file u d/loaded you put those 3 into a blank SD card and stick it in the car and follow what i said to do

Haven't seen any date like the 2015 in any of mine though

I presume you DO HAVE a DISCOVER PRO the flat screen with no knobs

I've have copying over the VW or Skoda files separate times to the recently formatted (to NTFS) SD card.

Instructions for those Apple types -

"If the map update is performed using the Apple® OS X operating system you may find that
Discover Pro does not recognise the map material or displays it incorrectly. This is due
to a lack of compatibility between the “7 zip” program and the OS-X operating system. In
addition, the OS-X operating system has a tendency to create hidden additional files on
external data media. We therefore recommend that OS X users use the “Keka” unzipping
program. We also recommend using the “CleanMyDrive” program to remove any hidden files."

Yeah he should just take the zip file to work and unzip it on his work PC it wont hurt it in any way but takes about an hour and a half to do it

What a PIA the VW Tiguan update process is compared to my other SUV where updates are performed annually by the dealership free as part of the service.

1) After unzipping, total file size was 100MB more than would fit on a 32GB USB :facepalm:
Contrary to dumb VW Discover Pro update documentation: "You will need an SD card with a minimum of 32 GB of storage to update your navigation data.Volkswagen recommends the use of a Class 10 SDHC card, which is readily available to buy."
2) Copying main folder would not be recognized by VW. Had to copy the 2 sub-folders and 1 file to root for VW update to recognize
3) Updating with the car turned off, causes the 'low battery' warning, which shut off the power mid-update
4) Turned the engine on and the update appear to continued
VW docs: If the process is interrupted – for example, by parking the vehicle – the copying process automatically continues at the point at which it was interrupted as soon as the ignition is switched on. ...hope so !!
5) Update took over 20 mins
6) At the end of the update, CW update screen said update was interrupted (error) and needs to re-boot.
7) After re-boot, Map Version appears to show the latest @ 0088 2020/2021
As the version shows the latest, don't know if the update went ok or if I have to do it again :confused:

... pull your finger out VW and make the updates free annually and include them as 'standard' as part of the service

1 the updates are free every 6 months, in June and Nov
2 I have always got it to fit on a 32gb card. Yes you copy the CONTENTS OF THE FOLDER
3 turn ign on and let it idle while you do it
4 have gone shopping and turned it off several times and it just continued
5 Update usually takes 40 min on last several Ive done
6 never had that but best to anyway
7 correct

They dont have to they are free to do and why would they spend time for free when owners can do it themselves

When they get Discover Care going again it will download and unzip directly to an SD Card Cant be easier than that

...
4. Good to know
5. Good to know

7. If the update didn't perform correctly but shows the correct latest version, is an issue I should be expecting that means if I need to do the install again ?

.... on a side note I see a lot of new cars offering Apple Car Play / Android Auto as standard with no sat nav on the base / middle models (not that I like where this trend is heading)

1 yes its not part of the service in any way and other makes like Madza Kia and others do it the same way. Lucky you havent go a Landcruiser and have to PAY over $400 for them.

7 You can redownload it and try to install it again It will do it

What computer are you using as it makes a BIG difference

My 32 GB SD card has these figures

Used space 28.7gb

30,870,208,512 bytes ( which is the maps)

1,191,051,264 bytes free space



Easiest way to do it is Download map put SD card in computer go to map file Open it with a zip program (I use Winrar) and tell it to EXTRACT it to the SD card.

I redid it this morning and it took 97mins to d/load the map and 38mins to unzip it to the SD card

Hardly the maps fault you didnt tell it the correct information is it. Often roads go through several suburbs and if you dont tell it the correct one you will end up in wrong place as I have found out .
Eg was going to a van park in Coburg and didnt put that in and ended up in Elizabeth St MELBOURNE at 3 pm on a Friday with a 25ft van on . Was great fun NOT.

Airports etc are POI so not really the maps fault either and surely you would know where the airport is, International or not

So shouldnt you put Fivedock in first then the street,especially if its a long road going through several suburbs

Eg where I live one part is considered to be Maroochydore but is actually Buderim and if you dont put the correct one in you dont get the right street to even come up

[akajjo]

well as you have to put the "town" or suburb in first it will make a difference as to what you put in.

So shouldnt you put Fivedock in first then the street,especially if its a long road going through several suburbs

Eg where I live one part is considered to be Maroochydore but is actually Buderim and if you dont put the correct one in you dont get the right street to even come up

Work down from the top

Thank you for advise. It worked with 155 Parramatta Road Five Dock and 155 Parramatta Road Auburn
But Still Does not work with 589 Princes Hwy Rockdale(Rockdale VW)

Latest map update available on VW site

Volkswagen Map Updates (https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/download/#download)

[notaGolfR]

Wow and thanks. On my PC with basic NBN it tells me it'll take 2 hours to download. I notice that it includes heaps of other countries as well as Oz.

fwiw I remember you must install with all the countries i.e. if you try to install only Oz, it will not work.

Below are the notes I made when I performed the update exercise om 1/2/20. My notes are for my own benefit and the wording may appear quaint. Note how much effort was needed just to get the file back then so I hope the one from the link iDiesel has supplied works.

The VW, Skoda and Audi maps are identical, however the Audi map is region specific, i.e. only the Australian/New Zealand region, & only contains data for that region so you are not downloading 20 plus gb. …. See post #12 . Know also that Audi Navigation Plus = VW Discover Pro (Generation 2 GP). For Skoda & Audi, to download you must supply VIN numbers. Be careful with the AUDI versions as the Oz/NZ one may not suit the Discover Pro head unit.

You need to know that at first you seem to get TWO files & the first cannot be opened or scanned by Virus Total or Malwarebytes. Then notice a second ZIP file still downloading & possibly taking THREE HOURS. That’s the one you want. Unzip the file to D:/

Always use the “Safely eject” feature.
Then copy the contents onto a new (fast) 32GB SD card (exFAT format). I used a "Kingston Canvas" SD card in the drive-unit slot over the glovebox and you might find it there.
Now LOCK the card (push switch down).
Then delete the unzipped files from WD external drive D:\ as they are huge & cause all sorts of problems.

[Hillbilly]

God its not that hard

Go to the linked page select the map with AUS in it Download it to a HDD put SD card of 32GB or bigger into computer. Unzip the downloaded file to the SD Card. after completion put it in an SD slot in the car. If unit doesnt find it and start uploading to it change unit screen to page where "update"is Press that and wait till it finishes

Job done

Yes it takes about 2hrs to d/load as is a slow server at times due to demand. Took 40 mins to load into car so I just sat it with engine running.

You can start it and turn it off and it will resume next time you start the car

You are making a range of mountains out of a molehill
We have been d/loading maps for 10 years and dont need to do all that carry on.

What about people who only have a C drive.
I posted the easy instructions above and have never done it any other way.

Ive never locked an SD card in my life and all work.
Turn engine on if you are worried about the battery. A lot faster than finding and hooking up a charger.
As far as deleting the zip file off your HDD thats rubbish as I have about 4 different maps on mine including some I got from Skoda and have NEVER had any trouble.

Only trouble comes from using flaky Apple products

Im fairly OCD but would never go to all that trouble its just not neeeded

[notaGolfR]

I believe you off course Hillbilly, but in fact I forgot about my download experience on 1/2/2020 and today I went ahead and downloaded to C:\ and it failed because it filled the drive.

As for why the old unzipped files caused problems on my big external D: drive I cannot explain but all was well after I deleted them.

All my gear is Microsoft not Apple.

The update I did in the car on 1/2/2020 was painless without the engine off but I copied and pasted what to do in case it faled from posted experiences of other people. You might have been lucky.

Keep well.

No luck in it. Perhaps you should do a cleanup on your C Drive like temp files, temp internet files etc

I run a 500gb SSD and only use it for Windoze and everything else is on my 2TB D drive and backed up to a 4TB backup drive Plus a spare E Drive and I have 3 Externals.

Regularly clean drives and run checks on Registry and broken shortcuts etc. Dont have troubles that way

Duly noted. Yours is certainly bigger than mine :eek: My C: is only a 118gb SSD but D: is 298 and only using 10.6Gb so I don't know why it palyed up with the unzipped map files. I clean up regularly (daily) with CCleaner but I haven't done Disk Clean-ups for a while so will do.

Do you keep your backup on one of those externals & keep offsite in your vehicle? They make good wheel chocks.

Is this new update bigger than previous files?
Ive used the same Sandisk 32GB thumb drive for all my updates over the last 2.5 years and this time it won’t fit on the drive
It says I’m 302 mb over
I reformatted a couple times and still no go, so ended up partitioning some space on a 2 TB drive and worked fine

Just annoyed that the drive I have used for many years now no longer is big enough

Yes it is slightly but I used the same SD card Ive always used. What did you format it as Fat32, EXfat or what

My Card says its 31,725,076,480 Bytes
29.5GB
320mb Free space
Capacity 29.8GB
Fat32

High 90 was 31,328,977,091Bytes or 29.1gb

So new one is 700Mb larger but it still fits on my card
Must be the way you are formatting it

You arent using a Devils Spawn MAC are you

Same issue with me too. Can u elaborate on how you suceeded please. Instead of the SD card, did you use a 2 TB USB stick?

Once before I pruned the unzipped download of some unwanted countries for neatness but it was nbg.

What files CAN be deleted to make it smaller?

Heres what i did exactly and it works every time including this time


1 Found a Fujitsu 32GB SD card in my drawer that i always use for nearly everything
2 Fast formatted it as Fat32 as usual with default allocation size
3 went to Skoda site as usual and downloaded the current map file
4 Waited the 3 hours for it to d/load to Drive E.
5 inserted SD card into computer and Un RARed the file to the SD card
6 40 mins later took it out went to garage.
7 Unlocked car and started the engine and inserted the SD card in slot 2 of the MIB
8 waited for it to find card and start the loading
9 came back 45mins later and removed card
10 Turned engine off and locked car
11 Chucked SD card back in drawer

It works perfectly as always

NO YOU DONT DELETE ANY FILES FROM THE CARD you wil Stuff it if you do

[iDiesel]

Same issue with me too. Can u elaborate on how you suceeded please. Instead of the SD card, did you use a 2 TB USB stick?
I just partitioned about 35GB in Fat32 on a 2TB external HDD, transferred the map files over and then just plugged it into the car like I would with the 32GB thumb drive. All good

[Hillbilly]

Well i dont know what you guys do to have troubles.

To check I have downloaded the VW map and have unzipped it and the Skoda one to 4 different 32GB SD cards.

All fit and all work so Im stuffed if I can figure out what you are doing wrong

One is 29.6GB with 475mb free Skoda map

other is 29.5 and 163mb free Vw map

3rd is a 32Gb stick and is 29.5 and 261mb free Vw map

Original one id 29,5 and 320mb free Skoda map


Different cards have different capacities slightly for various reasons

Thx. Very succinct. I will copy and paste it as a summary at the beginning of my note. At point 8, if you don't even need to navigate menus to get the card recognised (which is common with many other update procedures) I will give it a shot and amend my note accordingly.
However, and importantly, I am surprised, not to mention a little disappointed, that you failed to mention at point 6. that you ensured the garage was kept open to vent carbon monoxide :facepalm:

I look forward to our little banter sessions.

[SIZE=7][, and importantly, I am surprised, not to mention a little disappointed, that you failed to mention at point 6. that you ensured the garage was kept open to vent carbon monoxide :facepalm:"]

I presumed perhaps falsely, that MOST are intelligent enough to do that.. I cant be everywhere to hold your hand.

I should have course realised I could be speaking to the lowest common denominator and been completely explicit. Also as my garage has a solar extractor fan it isnt necessary in my case..,

More about why cant you get the maps on the correct sized card

[notaGolfR]

Touche Hillbilly.

I should have presumed, perhaps correctly, that you, of all people, seeing as how you are always ahead of the game, would have a hi-tech ventilation system. Furthermore yours would have a sensor for carbon monoxide detection to turn it on automatically. And I am confident that said detector is placed about 150cm above the floor as carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, :eek:

[notaGolfR]

I just partitioned about 35GB in Fat32 on a 2TB external HDD, transferred the map files over and then just plugged it into the car like I would with the 32GB thumb drive. All good

Thx. Today I tried without any partitioning on a 1TB USB hard drive to see if it would work and it DID. I already had a ton of TV recordings on that drive which may account for why it took a while to find the MIB folders and I did not try navigating to them.

Then I drove around Australia (anti-clockwise as that's shorter) to test. I just got back and no probs :cool:

Mine took 1 hr to upload (VW map) and I didn't need to run the engine.

[iDiesel]

Well i dont know what you guys do to have troubles.

Different cards have different capacities slightly for various reasons
I used to think the same on previous years when others would have the same issue, but my trusty Sandisk 32GB would work every time
But not with this update...tried quick format, deep format, different PCs, etc but it just couldn’t fit on.

In the end, I found another way....just took about two hours longer to come up with the solution than It should have.
I just left accessories on and updated. Didn’t run the engine.
