Download the software you need from the link below, take the SD card out of the VW satnav and put into your PC/Mac and follow the instructions.I'm sure it's been asked a thousand times, but I'd like to know how to update my Satnav as it says 2016 when it fires up.
I was hoping it could be done via the house wifi, but had no joy .. it could never just be that simple!

It sounds like you have tried to do it the ‘long way’ by downloading a map then doing the instal manually. Can I suggest you download, from the same site, the download manager (called data base update) which will do everything for you. Not promising it will work but......The update went badly as is usually the case!
Went for the smallest download which took an hour and a half.
Once complete I was asked to choose an app to complete the task.
BreesZip was the first free option in the "store" and downloaded.
Lots of wizzy fan action then took place … then nothing?
No download in BreesZip and original Windows download "moved or deleted"
Put SD card back in van and says build date 2016.
Thats's me done until the long nights now … first Sunday off this month & better things to do!
I'm going in again …. Wish me luck!
Haha, it will be just fine....
Hi, I think you are still trying to download the wrong item. On the VW website, above the map files is a data file called something like download manager. You run and install this and it will do everything for you.
It gets traffic data from the radio
It looks like thisI just don't see it?
I even watched a YouTube tutorial that did as you say.
I select model, discover media, bundle 1, download …. then a box pops up saying chose a programme in the Microsoft app store, and it all goes wrong?
May try it on my old Windows 7 laptop, or just give it to someone with a MacBook.
