    This Thread Golf 7 Navigation help "the Navigation Data in the infotainment System are not valid"



    One fact Its "lose" access
    Thanks for the pick up in grammar, damn spell check.
    The post above was refereeing to the MIB1 maps, they required software modifications from dealers before allowing downloadable map updates. No requirement to purchase an additional SD card.

      Was referring to Kamolds post in that thread and saw yours as well so wonder if the guys new SD card fixed it or not. LOL

      Any way site will get fixed before June update I guess.

      Is the Audi map only small and does it work on our Pro units I just need a Vin LOL

        Ok, I've read, re-read all the threads mentioned. I've got the original MIB1 (Discover Media) and have previously gotten map updates from the website mentioned on this thread. Of course, I only see Europe now available. Have they dropped support for the MIB1s? (pre-2015) Golfs?

          I'd like to prune the unzipped download to just have it work for Australia & NZ. Can anyone advise which essential folders I MUST keep, apart from any mentioning Australia, aus and NewZealand_aus. Just general guidance will do & I hope to learn from the exercise.

            You cant alter it and it will only find the areas applicable to your location.

            Has been tried unsuccessfully previously Why worry its in a separate part of the memory and you wont gain anything by doing that

              I can confirm the map update works with the download from post #134. Went from ROW 2017/2018 to ROW 2020
              It's big and the whole lot needs to be on it for it to work. I tried just the mib2 folder and the text file and it's not enough.
              Load onto SD card. Open navigation - settings - version information. Hit the SD/USB button and it shouldn't take long to pick it up. If it keeps searching, cancel and redo. I had to do it 2 or 3 times before it picked up. The upload takes a bit, so make sure your battery is full or you have a charger attached or it'll drain quick.

                    Did you unzip the whole thing to an SD card of at least 32GB Put it in the car and go to update on the screen It should find which SD slot its in and load it
                    DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE ANY PART OF IT We stressed that in earlier posts but it seems some think they know better.

                    You DONT have to load it all in one go If you turn the car off while its loading it will take up where it stopped

                    Been there done that without problems.
