Map update
« on: 21 August 2021, 11:13 »
After a lot of pressure from my nephew, he now has my 2015 R and I am the new owner of a 2019 Golf R and am very happy with it but I wish to update the navigation maps.  I have followed all the links on your website and have downloaded DiscoverCare 1.0.4 app for my iMac, I have a Discover Media MIB 2 system, but when I insert the SD card and try to start the download it comes up with an error message “An error occurred. Please check your network settings”  I have checked my internet and all is connected and the SD card is unlocked.  As an alternative I downloaded the DiscoverMedia2_EU1_1730_V14.7z file but when I try to unzip this file I get the error message “Unable to expand DiscoverMedia2_EU1_1730_V14.7z into Downloads (Error - 1 - No such process).

Can you please tell me how I can overcome these issues and allow me to update my maps.

Lots of advice on this thread - https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=287865.0

DiscoverCare app doesn't come recommended by many on this forum. Also, you will need an app to unzip the files. To note too is that the full Europe/UK maps are now too big to fit on the original SD card so you'll either have to download a smaller set of maps or buy a new bigger VW SD card.

You need to use 7zip to unzip the file and as Watts has said bundle 1 is now too big for the 16gb factory supplied card. If you still get stuck, send me your card and I'll put the new maps on for you 👍
