Sat Nav Sd Cards

[Dutch77]

Sd card comes in a DVD like case which will have V1 or V2 on front case.

Cheers, got the pick up later this week, will be interesting to see what kennyc has given cars came on same boat (although guessing Australian dealers would be adding the local satnav SD card).

How does one tell whether they've got V1 or V2 - is there an info screen somewhere, or is it just the booklet etc it comes with as per the thumbnail pic earlier in this thread?

(Sorry if I've missed this elsewhere - didn't have satnav on the Mk6 so not sure how the VW system works)

The SD comes in a DVD cover and that has V1 written on it.

I asked the dealer just then, he will get back to me.

Your car should come with v2 maps being so new.

You should hit them up for V2.

Just picked up the car and i think it is V1 maps. Traffic works on it though.

When we took delivery of our car last month it came with the version one maps. I contacted my dealer and they agreed to swap it for V2 maps which was really nice.

With v1 maps it could never navigate to a main Street in Brisbane cbd where my wife has to travel to occasional for work and she was very disappointed.

V2 maps installed and now it will navigate to this street and I have a happy wife.

Traffic also works on mine.

Reader0r: thanks for the correction. I think that I need to change the viewing sequence on my "Settings" to make it more compatible with those of the other folk here.

You just copy the link from the number on each post, ie your post is #59, it's just above your Join Date

Interesting that yours is only 1024 sucnip, do you get all the traffic info fine?

There is a code in VCDS to set the encryption code for subscription traffic. Mine is set to "1024".

On the other hand, to get traffic to work make sure you enable RDS and then tick the TP or traffic option.

sucnip: Hi. When you refer to "TP". are your referring to the reports that should appear on the Discovery Media screen when the "Traffic" button is pressed? If so, I've been trying to activate this facility for some time (without success) on my my13 series vehicle. On 15-03-2014 (12:09 PM) I posted a few VCDS shots on the thread titled "Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions" and I asked for help in completing the process. I have copied the link below, but my VWW profile is set-up to view the latest thread page first, so I hope that the link works for you

Anyway, I would welcome any advice that you could provide (my suspicion is that I'm entirely on the wrong path). thanks

Looking at the information providers website (click link below) I doubt VW would try to charge extra for this...

SUNA Compatible Devices | Suna Traffic

But this SUNA site makes no mention of VW that I could see. Just because some manufacturers include SUNA functionality with their satnavs doesn't mean you can expect it from VW. If it can be switched on by the VW dealer, expect to pay for the "work" of switching it on.
