Well I’ve tried again and failed to update the map!

I’ve done everything as per instructions and it never works for me, it clearly isn’t designed for MacBook use :huh:

if you've got a Mac then you might be better off using the VW update program. I'm sure it does something different on Macs compared to Windows.

Hi

I used the Windows option but I saw there is a Mac version for the update too. The first time I tried it did crash but the second time it worked via the DiscoverCare app. On the previous version I could not get it to work no matter what I tried. Good luck.

I've just done this, thanks to all the posters above.

Car is a 19 reg, and was running Europe 1 (v8) SD card, ECE1 2018 version

I managed to fit the European countries bundle 1 on the factory SD card, so now it is version ECE AS 20/21.

It is worth this topic getting pinned to the mk7 page?

I thought that’s where it was. If not tell me how to. I think it will be useful for some.

Hey. Not sure if this post from the other month might help:

https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=286378.msg2619908#msg2619908

Seems like quite a few people are having issues with these updates so it's a shame VW can't give better and clearer instructions. I wouldn't recommending buying the SD card personally. You'd have to buy 1 or 2 every year whereas if you get it working yourself you can do it every time for free.

Ok sorted - VW program is the way to go with a Mac, Incredible slow even on a super fast connection
