Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    When I unzip the file there are way more than three files, there are files for each country (ROW), am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding the process?

      Yes you are you are making a simple thing complicated by over thinking the process Put an SD card in your PC (hopefully you arent using a MAC) unzip the file you downloaded which should be P90_N6055MIBH3_ROW_NT.7z
      It will give 3 entries on the SD card

      2 folders and a text file

      MIB1
      MIB2
      Metaininfo.txt

      Put the card with them on them into the car Thats all you need to worry about While all the maps are on there the unit will find the correct one for the area it is working in

      YOU CANT DELETE THE OTHERS as it then wont work

        Thanks but you led me astray by saying files instead of folders

          Turns out there is an App VW provides for Windows and Mac which will create an SD card for any region in the world. It will also let you know when an update is available. Here is the link. Enjoy

          Hi, I visited this URL and all it did was redirect to VW's Australian site. Is there an updated link. Considering this is part of the VAG group would anyone have similar URL for Audi maps?

            The link above DOESNT go to a Discover Care upgrade page and I couldnt find one trying for 2 hours in various ways yesterday. I even registered on the German site to no avail

            The latest version of Discover Care was 1.04 which I have on my computer IT DOESNT WORK. It has been deleted from the Maps page because for the last two editions it has given Checksum errors.

            I tried yesterday to use it to do the latest map and after d/loading it and getting it ready to put on SD card it gave the Checksum error.

            It also did the same with prev 2 editions as I said and the only way to get the map now is to D/load to a HDD and then unzip it to the SD card. Its not hard, just takes longer and dont growl THEY ARE FREE

              Audi maps while similar are obtained differently apparently and you need a "My Audi " account to get them

                Depending on the age of your Audi and the system it uses will depend on if you can use the linked VW group maps.

                      Does the downloaded file work as updates? After unzipping, I see a directory by the name of "Maps" which has subdirectories with files in them. My understanding is that the system requires the "metainfo.txt" file as well.

                      Will try updating today though.

                          This is exactly my point; after unzipping, the directories are different from what's mentioned in the post and there is no metainfo.txt file. The zip file is also called, "DiscoverMedia_MRM1_1420_V12" and NOT "P90...."

                            Ok so now we know what unit you have and yes it is a different map to the PRO one we've been talking about.

                            It is also a lot smaller and hopefully you arent dojng it on a Devils Spawn apple product

                              If you are running your mapping via the SD card in the glove box then you have the Discover Media, this is different to the Discover Pro which uses mapping data via the hard drive.
                              Go this this site -

                              Download the data to your computer and unzip it to the original SD card your vehicle came with. The mapping data must be on that card not another SD card.
                              The current version is 1520 V13.
