sat nav update - discover media

[fredgroves]

Sounds like it ran out of space during the copy. Make sure you are only copying the right files.. The archive has mib 1 and mib 2 folders, you only need the relevant one...

Did you back up your existing maps to a folder before you started? If so then reformat the sd card to FAT 32 which will erase the files on it and it should give you a clean space, sufficient to install the current map. I used bundle 1 maps as it is probably the smallest. Have you tried to identify what the error code means? I have got error messages on DiscoverCare before but it told me it was lack of space and when I reformatted the card it solved the space problem.

Thanks for posting that Ceefeesh, you make it sound very easy!

That’s the method I used and I had the update installed in around 15 minutes. It was much more straightforward and quicker than DiscoverCare.

Thanks Fred & ceefeesh.
I followed your instructions CF so have saved my 'old' sat nav data.
Regarding the update, I selected the 'European Countries' option which shows to be 14.94gb.
I don't know what the mib 1  or min 2 folders are?

At one stage I saw the size of the upload as 17gb, which I thought was too big because theSD card is 16gb  but when I followed the instructions above, unzipped it and copied it over, it worked. If you have your original maps to revert to, give it a go. “Who dares wins, Rodney”

 Cheers. I’m now giving it another go, but this time downloading ‘Europe Bundle 1’
Will update you. Chas

Just to update you: I have had success downloading the European Countries Bundle 1.
This is showing Version Information:
5NA919866AS
1520
ECE1 2021

I presume that is the latest map available for my Discover Media system?

Thanks for all your assistance. Chas.

[Ceefeesh]

Yes I think that’s the latest. I bet you feel pleased now! Satisfying!

[chas.s]

Yes, very pleased.
Thanks.

Just noticed that v13.7 is available so will update later (Map bundle 1 = 14.94Gb)

I know when I did my first update after buying my car at the end of August I couldn't get it to work.

Then I was told to only use the VW card and just delete the old file (remember to empty the trash if using a Mac) then drag/drop the new file which was v12.7 at the time.
