My 2018 polo imported from Japan didn't come with any SD card. It says navigation database not available. According to volkswagen website it has "Discover Pro for Japan MIB2 GP. Do I need to buy an SD card from volkswagen to get the maps. Or is it possible to update the maps with USB, my glove box compartment has 2 SD card slots but no USB slot
You need an original or VW compatible SD card. The SD card must remain in one of the SD slots for the entire time of operation. Updating with a USB key or a standard SD card is not possible. (I have the original SD 16 GB or compatibile 32 or 64GB available). I have no experience if the Japanese version is different from the European one.
dobrý den, mám dotaz, mám passat B8 2017 discover media, ale z té SD karty mi nejdou smazat staré mapy, nevíte proč nebo případné řešení pro tuto situaci?
My car came with no sd card but there is version 2015 satnav working so I guess I have the discovery Pro version with a hard drive. If I buy an sd card with 2021 satnav on it is it simply a case of inserting the sd card into the head unit and it will automatically update to the new version or is there another step?
@@vinlocation8852 well I just purchased a generic sd card, uploaded 2022 version maps to it then updated the car and that's what it's running so what you said can't be true.
I'm sorry, I don't know where the problem is. Try checking the antenna connection. This is also how the poor quality of the GPS signal manifests itself. (Defective antenna, damaged cable, disconnected connector...)
I was thinking all the time it updates automatically when phone is connected to internet. I had no idea to download anything and copy to SD card manually. I am just doing that, my navi version is dated 2017 😂 Passat B8 Thanks again. Great tutorial 👌
The link is currently unavailable for map updates. I don't know the cause. Please try again later. VW importer confirmed the service outage. He asked me to be patient, he is working to restore the service.
Just bought a golf 7 (2017) with navigation, but missing SD card. I get the "navigation database not availlable" message. Plugging in the SD card of a friend with the same navigation module worked. So am I correct that if I just buy a SD card (with enough space and correct read speed) and follow this update, it will work?
The year of manufacture of the vehicle you have is important, for the years 2015 - 2021 only the original SD cards work. Try it 🙂😉, and write the result
Hi, just one question, the size of the latest update is greater than old SD card size, what can I do? Or, is there any way to tweak (change) any file to be fitted in the card?
Just download a diffrent map if you're UK their is a few different ones to chose from I took off Turkey and Russia and it took the file size down to 6gb
merhaba t croos 2022 model araçda türkiye haritası var ben avrupa haritasını yüklemek istiyorum flaş bellege indiriyorum haritayı arca takıyorum yüklenmiyor bana yardıcı olursanız sevinirim teşekkür ederim
Better make a backup before you delete the old card. Do the individual files have to be extracted from the Maps folder before copying them to the SD card ?
I haven't done a backup with the last 2016 maps. I'm trying to upload the bundle 1 unzipped but exceed the 14.8 Gb capacity of the SD original VW card. Should I buy a new SD not VW and try it? Any ideas?
I don't know, I've never tried it. I think it should work if you upload maps from official VW support. app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/car/#download

I don't think you have the same system. But I may be wrong. The system shown in the video has been supplied to the VW Golf since 2015. When you remove the SD card from the infotainment, then does the navigation work? If it works, this guide is not for you. If the navigation stops working after removing the SD card, then try to follow the video instructions. Be sure to back up your SD card to your computer so that you can restore it later.
I am facing the same problem, but I have already updated with discoverCare by myself. So now it says the data is no longer valid. Then I checked with the VW dealer, they told me I don't have mapcare these kinds of stuff in my MK7 2013 103 TSI Highline and need around 500-600 AUD to do extra programming into the infotainment system (the box in your glove box) and another 200 AUD for a new map order with VW VIN number. Do you think it is worth it?
This worked perfectly. Very simple and straightforward. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks mate. After watching several videos i found this one and it help me a lot. Very good step by step explanation!
I'm glad it helped

No need to wait or update once the card is into the car ??? Just insert and open ??
Yes. Just insert. The system uses data on the SD card, does not do any downloading.
Thanks😊
for maps update i need strictly VW SD card??
You can only use the original card from VW and Skoda to update the maps.
Need help. I downloaded the full bundle 1 maps but doesn't fit into the SD original VW card. Any idea?
Open: ... \ maps \ 00 \ sds \ ... Delete the countries you do not need. Or use a 32 GB SD card.
Thank you man. It worked with original VW SD Card after deleting the countries I don't need.
Working great so far, but now VW changed the webesite for downloading, any change or info about if this stoped now
website app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/en/car/ so far it works without problems. I have no information about upcoming changes.

my radio car doesnt have navigator.. will work with this update too? or should i try to update another software to run the maps ok it?
if it doesn't have navigation, it doesn't have GPS hardware, it won't work with this update

you must use the Volkswagen Compatible Card, a standard card from the store will not work for navigation
