^^^Thanks both for your efforts to explain which I'm sure to 99.9% of the population would be excellent.  However, when I said dummies guide I meant it in the most literal sense!!  I don't even know how to get a back up of the maps or where the sd card is, never mind following the rest of the instructions!!  Compressed zips and extract zips, who knows!

As you can I see I'm a lost cause so I won't waste anyones time further on this, please ignore my request and carry on with the thread!

Just trying to update my daughters Polo BlueGT and if you pick Bundle 1, it fails as the file size is bigger than the supplied VW 16Gb card?? Seems a bit silly.

Think i'll just download Bundle 6.

New to navigation systems as never had a car with one before. Can the sat nav work with a 32gb card? Would solve the issue with bundle 1.

I'm pretty sure you can only use an official VW sd card when updating Discover units.

Discover PRO can use any SD card to update.

There are some 32gb VW cards on eBay but they seem to want silly money for them.

Does seem stupid that the latest Euro 1 update is now larger than most of the standard size cards that came with cars up until the mk8.

Bundle 1 download is a mistake. I'm waiting to hear back from the We Connect team although I'm pretty sure I know what they'll say already 😂.
Although I'm intrigued to know why genuine cards are now 32gb like Rudedog has mentioned (£40 is the going rate for them). Have VW realised they can't fit map updates on a 16gb update anymore and just expect existing owners to download one of the smaller ones?

It may be possible to use non-vw cards by cloning the original card which may copy the hidden vw partition across. Will do a bit of research.

I'm sure someone tried this previously and it didn't work.

OK thanks for the heads up on this.

^^^Thanks both for your efforts to explain which I'm sure to 99.9% of the population would be excellent.  However, when I said dummies guide I meant it in the most literal sense!!  I don't even know how to get a back up of the maps or where the sd card is, never mind following the rest of the instructions!!  Compressed zips and extract zips, who knows!
