My new R has Discover Pro but did not come with an SD card for the Nav files - I know the Nav data is stored on the internal Hard Disc but how do you update the Nav software without an original VW card as on ordinary Discover Nav.
The dealer is telling me that the Pro never comes with an SD card
-
There should be 2 SD card slots in the glovebox as well as a DVD player if you have the Nav Pro!!
-
Have the slots my Q was should I have a VW SD card with the Maps on it so I can Update the Pro, or do I just use any SD card. Coming from my GTI with standard Nav I have to use the original VW SD card for updates but the dealer is telling me I can use any SD card to load new maps onto the Pro - is he correct
-
You don't get a SD card with the navpro.
The maps are stored on the internal SSD and when you need to update them you load them onto any old card and shove it in one of the slots. Its not a special card, just an SD card with enough space.
Once updated, take the card out, you don't need it again until next update.
-
I didn't get one with my Pro Nav either. I think you can use any SD card to update.
-
Has there been a very recent update Vidman or are you just thinking ahead?

LoL totally misread your question
Exactly as FredGroves says. Any old card with enough space.
There was an update this month I believe

Remember to format the sd card in exfat

Good to know, cheers.

I'm considering changing my GTI order and adding the tech pack.
I really fancy the Dynaudio system and for another £600 or so it seems mad not to have the Discover Pro as well.
Is it a worthwhile upgrade from the standard navigation or should I just spec the dynaudio on its own and save the £600 ?
-
If you use Nav a lot, then yes.
If you only drive your car to the same place every day, I'd not bother.
-
I don't use nav a lot but is worth paying £600 to make your dashboard look a bit cooler :cool:
-
Can't answer that one, its a tool for me not a toy.

It does make it look better & maybe help with resale?

That's what I was thinking also.
I wouldn't like to give it a miss only to regret it later.

After much deliberation I've decided to give the Discover Pro a miss and have just added the Dynaudio pack on it's own.
It's hard to justify spending £600/£700 to have a larger display,3D graphics, and a DVD player I will literally never use.
I hardly ever use a satnav as it is so simply having a built in unit is a bonus on it's own.
I'll probably spend the money I save on a new computer ( yes, that's how much they charge for a big screen satnav!! )
