Gina - VW sat-nav units don't seperate postcodes from normal addresses. So you just carry on as normal but when it prompts you to type in the address town just type AB10 1XY or whatnot and it should recognise it...

Just check the Navtec website here for updates, if the version number there is newer then update.
Easy as piss.... Download file from website, extract, copy to SD card... might wanna take copy of stuff that is already on the SD, then delete it.

Postcode search is easy, not sure why you're struggling so much?  :whistle:
(there was a bit of sarcasm towards VW there)

Tap 'New destination' -> tap the 'city/town' -> tap on bottom left where it says 'PSCD' or 'Pstcd' or something like that... it will then bring up a number pad (as continental postcodes are generally only numbers), tap the 'ABC' on bottom left, enter the 2 letters, tap '123' enter number, tap 'ABC' again to put the last characters....
Not sure why VW can't manage to get the software to start off with letters when the country is set to England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

When you press address, there is a postcode button bottom left of the screen.

Annoyingly it brings up a number keyboard first, so you then have to switch to letters - but the functionality is there.

when i had a GTI on loan it had the normal rather than pro nav and i did not like it as in reality needed a quick session with the manual due to not twigging the postcode thing but loved all the other bits of it

I meant that is starts with 'address' rather than saying 'Where do want to go - an address, lat/long co-ordinates, postcode or a point on map...

You have to choose address before you can input a postcode.. ie; VW consider a postcode to be part of an address rather than a stand alone destination. Sorry for not explaining myself...
