Thanks for the link.

My internet connection benchmarks at 60Mb and usually downloads 3GB files in under 15 minutes, but it's downloading very slowly from this site. After 15 minutes, it's averaging just 186kb/sec and it still says it going to take more than 12 hours to download!

Anyone else tried this?

Thanks, downloading now

How many times can you update the system? Im sure GeorgeK said 6 times in three years but how do VW know that you have downloaded the software?

I'm just reading that copying the data to the Nav Pro can take up to 4 hours and you must have the ignition switched on! What are people's experiences regarding the time taken to upload?

Thanks for the heads up Norbeck. All downloaded

Certainly took a while and did need ignition on however it paused when ignition was off and resumed when back on so over a number of trips the update completed. System worked normally during the update.

Cheers Norbeck!

Wonder if this fixes a peculiar fault that I've noticed, when it's suggesting three routes if you move the map, ie. zoom in or scroll around, when you select a route the nav screen defaults to Wolfsburg and won't follow your car until you press the follow car icon. Nothing major but a bit of a bug.

Mine did something similar but froze completely while it was calculating the three routes and the screen showed Wolfsburg. After a period of switching the media unit and ignition on and off it eventually reset itself

Thanks Andy. Didn't realise you could do the update whilst you were driving. I assumed that the car needed to be stationary with the engine off and you had to sit with the ignition on until it was finished.
