this one says it was only released 12/12/17

I just tried to update my maps using the app and it said it was already up to date... interesting, I picked up my car after the 12th December

I think the app is not up to date

I got my update from the German site and uploaded it to the car and it says it is 2018 map where before it was 17/18

Same here. Download and ran the DiscoverCare app on my PC from the above link. Unlocked and inserted my VW SD Card.

It says I have the latest version, but the latest version is only 5 days old.

I think I might run the update anyway after SWMBO has finished watching Holby on iplayer

It's a big update. Going to take a while with my connection.

Also tried the radio station logos download. It still doesn't have some of the Absolute or Magic station logos.

Just tried twice to update but keep getting an error on extracted file download or installation.
Going to try to restore to original. Fingers crossed that works

Thanks for warning. Think I'll leave it for now.

Update on update - because of our internet connection and the file size it said it would take almost 6 hours. If I do this I want to know a) that it works b) it makes a difference.

Copy and paste back up file worked, just going to try and download the file independently & install.
Tomorrow

Just done the same and it worked without a hitch; took a lot of time transferring the files though.

Got it to work eventually

So I went to this site - http://webspecial.volkswagen.de/maps/int/en/index.html

(This didn't work for my Discover Media VW SD Card -

I downloaded the DiscoverCare program. This program said that the there were no updates available.

I went to the next page, did the backup, then the download which took hours, then the install which failed near the end. )

This did work for my Discover Media VW SD Card -

I downloaded the European Countries, Bundle 1, 17/12/12 update.

Then I dowloaded the 7.zip program near the bottom of the updates page and installed it.

I copied all the data off my VW SD Card into a folder on my computer. So the card was empty.

Then I clicked on the update file with my right button and used 7.zip to extract the 'MAPS' to my SD Card.

Remember to lock the SD Card again.

Now the Navigation info says 2018.



Note: as with any update you do so at your own risk!

Anyone managed to get this to work on a Nav Pro? I've downloaded the file twice and twice when it's unzipped it's shown errors. Never had any issues previously when updating any Nav unit but this is total 💩
