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,

  • I picked the Golf GTI, Discover Pro, Non-European countries (P71_N60S5MIBH3_ROW.7z)

    Downloaded it, extracted onto a 32GB SD card formatted to FAT32. I'm quite sure I've done everything right.

    • Sounds right, slip it into your MY16 and it should update it, but not your MY15.

        its definitely the right map - i used the exact same one to update mine.
        i also used a 32gb sd-card to do the update.

        when you've unzipped it, is the mib1 and mib2 folders, as well as the metainfo.txt file in the root folders? i.e. they shouldn't be inside another folder.

        • I've got the MIB1, MIB2 folders, the metainfo2.txt and .md5 file

          I'm taking my car to the dealers next month for some warranty repairs, so I'll get them to upgrade or register my car on the portal then. I think my MY15 vRS isn't playing nice with the map upgrades.

          • there should be no .md5 file in the mix.

            • I downloaded these very recently and put the SD card in my car, but its not behaving. Can't see the maps. Will check the files at some point to make sure that missing file is there.

              • Downloaded and installed Map P76 From VW map site. Only thing is it does not have the speed sign in the top left corner.

                Yes it's turned on in settings, and did a reset (press and hold)

                • I'm downloading now to try it out; although I have TSR activated so the Nav maps are disabled anyhow.

                          • Updated mine yesterday. No problems so far.

                            I extracted the file to 2 folders - then tried removing all the useless countries we are forced to d/l and only leaving data for Aus, but the update failed to work, so I used the original full d/l to install to the car.

                            VW - please listen to your customers. Aussies DO NOT need maps for anywhere other than Australia. Middle Eastern, South African, even New Zealand, are useless to us, and forces us to d/l GIGS of extra maps when we don't need it.

                            Why don't you have a simple tickbox arrangement on your website, so we can select the individual countries (or continents) we want to d/l maps for.

                            • So I've visited the dealers last week and they said I would need to pay $150 to put my car back in the system for the map updates. I generously declined as I've used the sat nav once in the 3 months of owning the car, and that was just to test it against Google Maps.

                              Does anyone regularly use it in car sat nav when Google Maps / Waze is clearly better and now easier to use with Apple Carplay / Android Auto? My car doesn't even have Carplay/Auto and I still rather use my phone.

                                i regularily use the car sat nav cause i can't b bothered most times hooking up the usb cable, selecting data mode on the phone, opening smartlink, selecting android auto, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, then open google maps, then use google assistant or type a destination in!!!

                                the only advantage google maps has over the car sat nav is live traffic and temporary road closures - none of which is an issue here in sleepy canberra.
                                waze i find more useful with the police/hazard reports, but too cartoon-eee.
                                i much prefer google maps than waze, but its a shame google maps doesn't show speed limits.


                                i've loaded Personal POIs in my car sat nav - so i get mobile/fixed speed cameras warnings/displays.
                                less hassle, and does the job 99% of the time.
                                plus i get turn-by-turn navigation in between the speedo/tacho
