Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • New Satnav map available for Columbus

    It can be accessed here Update portal. You'll need your VIN.

    Took about 15 hrs to download. You then need to unpack it to an SD card (min 32gb). Then follow the instructions on the website to update the car's software, which takes about an hour.

    May not be applicable for MY15 and earlier. Been trying to get this for ages but no luck. If you can share the download link here (the link that you get when you enter your VIN details to start download) I can try and see if it works.

    There is an existing thread on this - http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...nk-105821.html

      how big is the file?

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

        It's not a link so much. The web page stays the same...just adds the download link after you enter your VIN. The file was 22gb.

          This is the link I was referring to, you can see it when you put your mouse pointer over the download button.

              And guess what, ours still shows the 2014 map. The download link would be very useful, although I don't know if we can update from it, we haven't been able to in the past.

                Just checked this again. Once you have entered your VIN and it has established you qualify for the update (mine's an MY16, Aug 2015 build) you are presented with a legal disclaimer which you need to accept. You then need to accept their downloader app, which installs a piece of software on your pc which is linked to your VIN. You then run this software to download the update. Seems it's all very tightly monitored.

                Sorry guys, but it seems it all links to the VIN of your car, which determines eligibility.

                  Just thinking about all this, maybe the issue with others trying to update in the past, is purely that your VIN hasn't had an update authorised so it fails.

                    ridiculous thing is that the subscription for mine ran out 2 months prior to delivery.

                      Have just updated this on my MY16 Scout. Works fine although I did find the process a little more confusing than the video on the website suggests. I am puzzled though as to why you have to download such a massive file. It's labeled ROW (rest of world) and truly is, covering countries such as India, Brazil, Argentina and Bahrain just to name a few. Does this mean that I can now drive in these countries without getting lost or does it just upload into the car the relevant maps for Aus and NZ?

                        Hi Heathpete, can you please confirm the name of the downloaded file is
                        P55_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT_Q1.15
                        or is there another one.
                        When you log into the update portal, when does it say the map subscription expiry date is?

                          Yep, that's the file Volkswagen Fan. It took about 13 hours to download!
                          I've just logged back onto the update portal but I can't see anywhere where there's an expiry date for map subscriptions. I should have asked a few days back when I put my car in for it's 1000km check....meant to ask but forgot!

                            This is what the update portal looks like to me,



                            as you can see, the subscription expires before i even got the car.

                              As you can see when I open the same page using my VIN I get the same but with no subscription expiry date.

                              Maybe I've scored a free lifetime subscription?
