My Pro screen froze on Sunday, so I thought I would update the software this weekend.  I only want to revise the UK maps, as I am not planning to go to foreign parts this year (although another trip to Le Mans is always on the cards). When I go to the VW download site I have the option of a complete download or 17 parts.  Am I able to download just one section to only update the UK maps, and if so, which part number is it?  Also, earlier mention was made about having the original disk.  I've searched and there is nothing with the manual or in the glovebox.  Does this mean a visit back to my dealer?  Any help will be much appreciated.

As I understand it, you can't pick and choose, you need the whole file.

The separate files make the up complete file and are used to allow those with a slower download speed the chance to actually get it. The whole file is about 6GB, which is a lot to download for slower connections.

For those installing, either I've done it wrong, or it's changed different.

I backed up the map data on the VW supplied SD card
Formatted the card as detailed
Extracted the new map file directly to the card
Put the card in slot 2 of my GTD with Discover Nav
Turned on engine and drove normally
Pressed the Nav button
It showed an updating type screen for about 2 minutes
Screen went back to normal mapping
Total journey time was 10 mins, and when home, the new map must have been initiated because it knew where I lived (new build house) where the old map didn't

Very painless operation to update?

Yeah on the discover nav all you're doing is updating the maps that are read from the SD card. Don't think it updates any software.

I believe you put all of them files into an SD card, don't worry about the fact they're not a 7zip, then go into car menu and at the bottom you'll see software update. It'll take a while but you can turn your car off but you'll not be able to use your nav till its updated.

What am I doing wrong?
I just can't do the updates.
I have Nav Pro and downloaded the file in one hit(windows 8.1 took 90 mins) and put it in an unzip app(bandizip), I then unlocked the sd card(32GB class 10)and unzipped the file to the card(took 45mins)
Then removed the card(it said that the file was still open so I had to close it to remove the card) and locked it and put it in SD1/2 slot and went to updates in Nav, the Nav says there
is an error and no data available :huh:

I can't help much more because I've only got pauper spec Nav but have you checked the file sizes? I think Nav Pro update should be around 16gb.
