I’ve tried to put it as my middle screen (my other half can do it on their T-cross) but doesn’t seem to be possible. You can only have navigation to the left or right with arrows /instructions, unless I’ve missed something.

Whether you’re able to display maps on the main instrument display depends on which version of hardware / software and which infotainment unit you have. Check out the table in reply #197 in the discussion thread at the link below;

Based on the information in the table at the posted link, if your infotainment unit is the standard Discovery Media, then I’d say no.

From the table; Discovery Media with hardware version 5H0035816B and software version in the range 1664 - 1668, maps on the AID = No.

Yup, you can't have the maps on the AID with that.

Same as me...

Has anyone tried unlocking this with OBD11? I read somewhere that OBD can now talk to the Mk8 though I'm still sceptical!

I don't think anyone has overcome SFD yet...

At the moment that's it... Same with wireless android auto.

There was rumour of both getting fixed but I've only seen one person in Czech Republic who said about it...

Well that sucks,,,! To be honest I’ve got bigger problems by the seem of it I’ve got the knocking noise from N/S front wheel at low speeds , also keeps saying update required plus front assist not working and keyless entry works sometimes and not others :) so sat nav least of my worries

Keyless entry doesn't work properly on mine either. Only unlocks if you approach from the rear. Suspect it needs a new antenna module in the front...

For those on the ‘B’ hardware (can’t display Nav in drivers AID) was this feature supposed to be part of the standard GTI specification at that time?
Did they remove it from standard spec or was disabling it a software mistake?

Its hard to say actually.... I've tried getting VW customer services to confess but they won't.

Its definitely capable of doing it, its just not enabled. Before you ask, you need to change some settings in the SFD protected part of the config... so no you can't do it.

That’s so F@@king annoying my mk7.5 had it so you’d that would be standard in a more expensive motor  :angry: :angry:

A while back I went cover to cover through a couple of the early brochures and couldn't see any specific reference to maps in the AID for anything other than the Pro Nav.

Like you say, annoying when the Mk7.5 had it as standard straight from the get go, and most early Mk8 reviews and road tests seem to feature it.

My assumption is that it was meant to have it, but due to the litany of software issues they were having as the car went into production (and still are having to some extent), they left it loose when writing the press material.

Thought I'd resurrect this rather than starting again...

My GTI has Discovery Media (not) Pro but it is a version with maps in AID enabled. I can set this from the touchscreen and the navigation will display in the AID but then the map on the touchscreen is replaced by a compass. Is this correct? Is the simaltaneous display really only a feature of Discovery Pro?

You can enable simultaneous mode with OBDEleven. There's several posts on it in various threads here.
