Hi what does the update and unlocking enable exactly? I have similar on just wondering if it’s worth doing?Yeah I can update that and unlock it if needed
Unless you've jailbroken your head unit, you need a genuine VW map card, or a cloned one. It's then a case of extracting the downloaded file which will produce a "Maps" folder, format the SD card and drag/drop or copy &paste the Maps folder into the root of the formatted card.Sorry for dumb question, but anyway...
Is it possible to simply drag and drop content from extracted folder to a SD card?
does it matter if you are using mac or win?
thank you
Hi, sorry for lack of info. I do have a genuine vw map card, and I used to update the maps with a vw tool, which sadly is longer available. So simple drag abd drop should do.Unless you've jailbroken your head unit, you need a genuine VW map card, or a cloned one.

Normally its enough to delete the files on the card before copying new content. No need to format.Hi, sorry for lack of info. I do have a genuine vw map card, and I used to update the maps with a vw tool, which sadly is longer available. So simple drag abd drop should do.
Does the card need to be formarted? Which standard?
Thank you so much for the info.

Never ending story.And yet another release
Thanks
The van will not recognise the cards unless it has the VW SW on it. I tried that as well.yes i have ordered a couple cheap 32gb cards to try, seems the files are larger and larger with each update
I’ve never understood the rationale behind the various country bundles on the map download options. Why they miss Spain & Portugal off and include Iceland beats meI understand the ins and outs of it all just enquiring as i offer card updates for people so was looking for a solution thats works for everyone with little to no input, seems that ship has now sailed so i will start offering choice of the smaller european map options
Are you going to do a guide ?I had to hack my unit to accept the generic, non-VW 32gb cards, works a treat and no noticeable difference in the operation or functionality of the head unit or maps. It’s a 10 minute job & doesn’t require removing the unit from the van, it’s all done in software.
