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,

      Its a 32GB USB formatted NTFS. Discovery Pro reads the .mp3 fine when uploading.

      • Yes it does but it WONT format larger cards as FAT32 which is what we want to do. You need something like guiformat-x64 to do that



        Its available here Go to Sd Formatter and either click on the picture as it says or down below the picture is the X64 version

        Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd

        Use that and you can run large capacity cards in your dashcams that are supposedly limited to 32 GB

          • Ok I formatted a 128gb card in NTFS and loaded the FOLDER with the map on it and it wouldnt load as it said no data.

            I took card to PC and copied just the 3 files to the root directory of the card and deleted the folder and put it back in car

            It then found and said update available.

            So two things from that

            NTFS works and you have to have just the 3 files on the card NOT THE FOLDER

              I'm having trouble getting the files installed in the car, have tried a few different ways.
              I have downloaded 2 different files that seem to potentially be the same version.

              One folder name is: P88_N60S5MIBH3_ROW_NT
              The other is: HIGH12_P88_ROW_202022
              Which ones have people had success with?

              So am I just copying these files straight into the SD card?

                The first one is the VW version and the second one is the SKODA vers BOTH ARE IDENTICAL MAPS
                so either works I have used the Skoda one on mine but the unit also finds the VW one when i tell it to update.

                Yes if you have unzipped the file u d/loaded you put those 3 into a blank SD card and stick it in the car and follow what i said to do

                Haven't seen any date like the 2015 in any of mine though

                I presume you DO HAVE a DISCOVER PRO the flat screen with no knobs

                  Unfortunately I have not had any luck with having the car recognise the files.
                  I've have copying over the VW or Skoda files separate times to the recently formatted (to NTFS) SD card.
                  Not sure why its not working, bit frustrating. Will try again later...

                    Are you using a PC or a MAC because they give problems doing it

                    I have 3 different cards with the two maps One on an NTFS formatted card and two on FAT 32 formatted cars and all work perfectly

                    I just copy and paste the three files by R clicking / copy open card rclick/paste

                              Yeah he should just take the zip file to work and unzip it on his work PC it wont hurt it in any way but takes about an hour and a half to do it
