If you do have a spare I may be interested because for the life in me I can't get the maps to update using a standard SD card. I'm still on the maps that came out of the factory.

Do you not have a supplied VW card then? The process is to back up the old VW nav card data onto your PC, format the VW nav card and then expand the downloaded update onto it. Nav info can only be used from an oem VW nav card, but the card can be updated with new nav data.

Nope, no VW SD card, that'll be why I can't update them then.

It's only nav pro that uses any SD card. As Talk-torque said you can only use the VW SD card to update Discover nav. Do you have nav pro?

In that case then you won't have a VW supplied card and can use a minimum 32gb card. Maps are easy to update, what exactly are you having a problem with?

It was a while ago since I last tried but if I remember correctly it was getting to ~95% and failing. I just binned it off in the end and stuck with Google Maps/Waze but it would be nice to have the OEM maps up to date.

Do you have restrictions on your downloads from your broadband supplier? Make sure you delete any old downloads and maybe try downloading during the night and make sure your computer doesn't go to sleep while downloading.

........and make sure you are downloading the correct version of the update for your head unit. The data for Discover Nav Pro is different to that for the standard Discover Nav and there are a couple of versions of each unit.
