Map updates - Discover Pro

[gerhard]

Mate have been doing it in VW for 14 years and in Mib 2.5 since 2019 ad Mib 3 since 2021. It ALWAYS WORKED (except once my fault) This time it hasnt Im well aware of requirements for formatting etc.. The last few maps i installed in the KAMIQ I stuck on the stick as i said above and it has worked for several installations. Im not worried about 3 poofteenths of fuel it used, is far better than it sitting there with the ignition on running the battery down and it usually only takes 20 mins to install and yes it doesnt say anything.
In Australia other updates wont be happening as we are not connected to the net and all that can be entered into the system is what is on the USB card, So no firmware updates.
I have yet to find a newer firmware than my 0276, which would also need a SD card to install. I never use 7 zip, have used Win RAR for years without problems. The reason for the lag is that you should go for a drive and let it reorient itself , as you had to with the old RNS 510
Flipper Dog usually gets the correct maps and Im sure its the right one but something is not quite right I had to remove the old map off the stick to put the new one on and it had installed fine and the 1300 music tracks have been on it for 3 years and not prevented maps from loading until now, if in fact it is them and no reason they should as not done it before.

Didn't really need your caustic rant, I provided information from the "Discover Pro Gen.3 Map material update" publication.

If you're such an expert for 14 years why did you ask for help and then piss on my foot?

Work it out for yourself.

Have read all that material and complied with it

It came across as talking to a novice in view of my previous posts over the years

As i said in previous posts my last few updates have gone fine I am at a loss, why using the same gear it isnt doing it this time. By removing the prev map and replacing it with a new one on the same stick one would think there would be no problems. Im sure there is a reason and yes will work it out eventually.

You did not comply with it. You have extra files on the USB stick. You did not use 7Zip. The manual is pretty specific about that, which you ignored, and then have the hide to call me a novice. Even if I were a novice, an elderly person should not be too pigheaded about taking advice from someone not as mentally advanced as yourself.

At my 73 years old I am still able to recognise that a new update might and almost certainly could contain extra compliance conditions, so that what worked yesterday won't work today. I worked in IT for many years before running my own IT Consultancy for over 20 years.

You come across as talking to a pigheaded old man. How about you buy yourself a new USB stick and use that and follow the instructions as I have outlined, which I extracted from the manual you claim to have followed.

For reference, the instructions for MIB3 update in Australia can be found here

The instructions are quite specific on how the process will work.

Ok after a day of ferreting around it seems the link that Flipper Dog has up is the JUNE map ( which I have) and shows as 23.12.

Nowhere can I find a newer version. SO It didnt update because it wont write over itself.
NOT BECAUSE of my way of doing it, which does work despite what the instructions and some posters think,
As long as the map is in the root directory of the stick it doesnt matter what else is on it as it only looks for the correct files to load.
If they arent there it wont work.
If other files are there it doesnt care and ignores them.
Despite what others may think it has been like that since I got the car in 21 and used the same stick with the same music on it each time.
It has always worked no problems.
So problem solved and maybe the November edition is late or as said on another forum they may only be doing annual editions.

Is the same on both the VW and Skoda portals which incidentally I have been using the maps off whichever one is first in both the Tiguan and the Kamiq and always had success ( except the time I stuffed up)

Method Download the file to HDD Put my ExFat formatted music stick in computer UnRAR the downloaded file to the root of the music stick/card . Stuck it in either car and wait for 30 mins in the KAMIQ or just left it in the Tiguan and it updated when car being used If stopped it resumed from where it was when car turned off. Never failed except the time I pulled the card out too soon in the Tiguan. No longer have the Tig

Map versions. Also it seems the number that comes up as "Navigation Database" is NOT related to a version of the map but the DATE of issue
EG in an MIB3 it is yy m. so IE 2023.12 is later than 23.6.

Ok downloaded Flipper Dogs latest linked map Unrared the files to the root directory of my Music USB C drive and Abra ca dabra I now have 24.6. So methods other than what is written have and DO WORK. I rest my case

Here is a screenshot of the partial contents of the Music Stick

and the location on the drive of the package list file, listed in alphabetical order

I put the stick in the car on Wednesday night and since then it has done about 6km Wife went shopping yesterday morning a bit over a K each way and did the same in the afternoon. Looked today and 24.6 is installed so it didnt take long and would have had interruptions while doing it. The 25gig on in the Tig also would install even with interruptions

Is it only me as I'm finding the "Search Volkswagen Map Updates" link, which is a link to https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/m...car/#selection is not opening up the page like it used to where I can select my Media Unit type and then my vehicle?

not just you. Several other groups are reporting the same thing

Link is broken, must have used a Gen-Z programmer...... Anyway, it doesn't really matter when you use Carplay or Android Auto and Waze. That way you get real-time (almost) traffice, etc updates and new map updates.

Site is back up now, must have been down to update to the Nov 2024 maps.
