Because it needs to be in FAT32 for Media to read it and if the drive is more than 32gb it will probably be in ExFat

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

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

I am using a Mac. Don't have a Windows computer in the house. The one at work is via a remote server and I don't want to download 30gb onto it as I'll get flagged haha

Theres your problem find a friend with a PC 99% of problems are people who use Macs as they use zip in a different incompatible way

Instructions for those Apple types -

"If the map update is performed using the Apple® OS X operating system you may find that
Discover Pro does not recognise the map material or displays it incorrectly. This is due
to a lack of compatibility between the “7 zip” program and the OS-X operating system. In
addition, the OS-X operating system has a tendency to create hidden additional files on
external data media. We therefore recommend that OS X users use the “Keka” unzipping
program. We also recommend using the “CleanMyDrive” program to remove any hidden files."

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
