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.

Ok sorted - VW program is the way to go with a Mac, Incredible slow even on a super fast connection
late at night is usually a good time. With the amount of people working at home I would think it may be slow at peak times. I often download mine during the night.

Pleased to hear you managed to get it sorted. Even with VW Discover Care its not an easy process.

Can I ask what date map you updated to?

I’ve tried this on my desktop, downloading it through VW’s program onto my SD Card reader and it’s saying ‘out of space’

Hi

If I am correct it needs 16gb of space. Normally there is a 32gb card in the slot which is sufficient. Is that what you have? You can right click on the SD card icon in Windows  on your PC (assuming it’s Windows) to see what space it has left.

sounds like you've downloaded the pro update which is 32gb instead of discover which is only 16gb

I’ll have another look tonight but I’m fairly sure I clicked on the discover update.

unless your pc doesn't have the disk space to download the file?

It definitely does mate, I’m beginning to wonder if my SD card already has the update on?

Did you use the VW program or just downloaded it yourself?
