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,

  • Discover Media Map Updates for 6C Polo Free Online

    If you use an independent to service your car and are therefore likely missing out on the free map update with dealer service then this may be of use to you.

    DiscoverCare < Innovation & Technology < Volkswagen International
    Select download for Windows or Mac. It will install software on your PC that automates the update process. At some stage you will need to insert your original VW card into the SD slot on your PC etc. A backup of existing sat. nav. data will be done to PC before the card is updated. Make sure you select Multi Region Map 2 when given the options.

    Worked like a charm for me, now have 2017/18 maps.

      Yes agree it's confusing. It's not discover pro and I thought it was MIB2.

      Anyway you should have the same as me if your Polo is a 2015? ie "Multi Region Map 2". Have a look at yours

          Hi ya

          Had issues with this. This was due to size issue and bare in mind I am a Mac user.

          Here is my work around
          1. Download software as above.
          2. Let it go through as intended.
          3. Mine was failing at 92% installations phase.
          4. Navigate to DiscoverCare/Data
          5. Unzip the large file that is in that folder
          6. Navigate to SD card, go through the folders, you'll find folders called map blah blah and remove any file/folder that says Seat/Skoda
          7. Navigate to folder in step 5 above.
          8. You will need the last folder called EEC or something similar copy entire folder to SD card replacing existing.

          And you are done.

          It was failing as the last folder being copied across was to large for the SD card.

          Hope this helps

                Thanks mate for the +ve feedback, nice to hear back when you offer help/advice. I have to admit though that I 'stole' the link to that site from a post in the Mk 7 Golf section of this forum.
