VW Golf MK7 - 2022/06/20 official map update

[Guest001]

Maybe this could be helpful as cant find any Mapcare files

Volkswagen Infotainment Update

[The J Man]

Well I've totally given up

Bought one of those Wireless Carplay/Android auto devices from Ali Express for about $50 more than the software upgrade would've likely cost

Plugged it in (well, BETWEEN the head unit and the control module) and wrestled with the cables so that I could get the control module back in

Now I have Wireless Carplay with Apple Maps/Google Maps/Waze

Rolled the dice on Ali Express and came up a winner so far

... and that's a bust

Looks like it just downloaded P57_N60S3MIBS2_ROW_NT.7z which is what I've already tried

so the card was updated to a 2020 map (late 2019 I'd say)
Car sees there's a nav database on it but then refuses to load it - just like when I did all of this manually

So I'm back to trying to find a dealer that knows how to enable MapCare on the old 2013 MIB1 units

Has anyone managed to do the 2022 update without buying a new SD card? eg just by copying the updated AU files across. Or is it more complicated than that? <edit: I tried this, retained the same directory structure etc, and it comes up with an error>

I've just spent an afternoon trawling through different websites and solutions. I have an early 2015 R with MIB1 Discovery Media and the 8GB VW SD Card. I installed 2020 maps using the app a few years back so they are mostly up to date but don't include a new freeway in Melbourne that I use often, so it's a bit annoying.

It appears that the P57_N60S3MIBS2_ROW_NT file is the correct one for the 2020 update, but that is the latest one that is listed by VW on their update website.

The 2022 files are only available for MIB2 or Discovery Pro, so even if I got a larger card I'm not sure they would work (this is the file named P333_N60S5MIBH3_ROW, which when extracted has a subfolder labelled as MIB1 but is still 24Gb)

Kev: :You have answered your own question - I've edited your post above showing your answer!!

I suggest that you attempt to find a solution to cold fusion rather than trying to find a way to make the update maps for a Discover Pro (or, MIB2) work on a MIB1 Discover Media unit!!

I suspect that it's a futile exercise - even if you manage to buy a "new SD card", alas!!

I was encouraged by the inclusion of a MIB1 folder with the right structure in the Discovery Pro zip file, and thought it might be as simple as updating the files with the same names, but that didn't work.

I've seen a separate thread on Whirlpool where a person tried a similar thing but couldn't get it to work unless they also created an MD5 file, which was successful on a previous update. If I get a few hours I might give that a try as a last resort before giving up.
