May 2017 map updates

[I wanted a GTi]

I take it that mine are not up to date?

I have a macbook pro and it struggles with the above link, I have found this one to work much better for me

In the past i have struggled to get my updates to load, hopefully this will work

Thanks for that mate, I tried via that route, it does end up taking me to a May 2017 update page (if I select 2016 Gti, no 2017 vehicle option yet) and the full zip file is 23.7GB starting P161_N60....., what was throwing me was someone's post showing their MIB folders downloaded with a modified date of 12/06/2017.....thinking about it this is probably just the date they've downloaded on their machine, when I open those folders the dates of the map contents are from December '16 which could well be same on theirs? Apologies if my ramblings make no sense!!:)......I'll try the sd in the car and see what it says, not having had the car that long I didn't want to risk messing it up.....cheers

Just for reference, my map has updated using the above link to version V03959800KF0157 ECE 2017 thats on a Discovery Pro

Updated my MY16 MIB2 DiscoverPro yesterday and the May 2017 maps are 161, and Nov 2016 were 157... as mcdaddy said

Couldn't get DiscoverCare software to work again - reported no updates. I've had zero success with that software, but the manual update is pretty easy anyway, just the size of the files is a pain!

Thanks OP

Finally got mine updated to the 17/18 maps after only about 10 or 12 attempts  ......success appears to be down to giving up trying on my MacBook and using Win Pc instead, I used a fast USB3 stick formatted to NTFS and took only 30mins to update in vehicle.

Grrr.

Tried everything BUT again was unable to get update my MIB2 DiscoverPro as although following various guidelines to the letter i still get "No data available, please insert a source with software update data" error message.

Any thoughts?

I kept getting those messages everytime I tried sticking the sd card in car to update, are you on Windows or Mac?....pretty sure my problems were apple related to hidden files being put on the card whilst formatting or whilst transferring the downloaded data to it on my MacBook. After I formatted the usb stick in my Win pc to ntfs file system I then copied onto the root of the usb drive the following (which I had extracted from the full download zip file of about 25gb size) - MIB1 & MIB2 folders, metainfo2.txt, P161_N60S5MIBH3_EU_NT.md5 - so all I see when I put stick in my laptop are the 2 MIB folders, the txt file and the .md5 doc file.

Once I'd done that and then tried again in the car it instantly saw it as an update which was a relief!....I ended up using the usb3 stick with it being a lot quicker transfer capabilities than my sd card, it only took about 30mins and it was all done....

Has anyone managed to update their 7.5 maps yet?

Scrap that... I've just put my SD card in and launched DiscoverCare and it told me the 2017/2018 update is available, so I'm downloading now.

All sorted.


The files still aren't listed for anything beyond 2016 on the Navigation site.
