Sat Nav Sd Cards

[Brendan_A]

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.

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

You should hit them up for V2.

You should hit them up for V2.

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

Your car should come with v2 maps being so new.

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)

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

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

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).

V1 is for cars pre november 2013 built

V2 from then on.

Brendan i dont know how yours works. They cant be swapped around, it comes up invalid navigation data.

My car is December built and should have came with v2, that's why they swapped them over.

It was very easy to do, remove sd card and put in v2 sd and they loaded up and all works fine.

I correct myself, I put a V1 in a golf r today to test and it worked. But V2 in pre nov13 doesnt.

So how do people with pre nov13 update the maps?

Most likely by spending some money at the dealer

That was the whole point of them switching to the SD-card based system after all, wasn't it?
