    Help Needing some help re VW Golf updates

    Hi All,
    I am in Australia and about to pick up a 2013 Golf 1.4 TSI Highline this week and I'm looking for the latest map updates for it.
    Q. Is there an update for this particular model? If so can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I need to download?

    Hello barrg0,

    It is important what kind of infotainment system you have in your Golf.
    If you have a Discover Media or Discover Pro you can search on
    Link URL:
    Only the registered members can see the Link URLs. Please Login OR Register.
    .
    For the Discover Media you must copy the new map to the original SD-cart of your navigation and than it will work.
    For the Discover Pro you must install the new map on the harddisk of your navigation.
    On the site you also can find how to update the maps.

    Succes

    Thanks Peter for your reply. I will confirm which system I have once I take delivery of the car. Cheers

    Also Peter,
    Will I have to copy the entire set of maps or can I just select the maps for AUSTRALIA?
    Cheers

    You only have to choose the map you need. So Europe is not necessary for you I think.
    VERY IMPORTANT!!! Make a backup of the original SD card before you start changing it! In case the change fails.
    The download will be a compressed file (.7z or .rar). You must unpack that file in the root of your SD card.

    Hi Peter,
    I now have the car. However the card in the car has only 8GB capacity and the updated file size is 25GB. Therefore I need a 32GB SD card correct?
    Cheers Greg.

    UPDATE: Ive found out that the unit is 5G0 035 846 - MIB1 Discover Media which is a much smaller file (4GB). Have downloaded and will test. I'll advise once I try it.
    Cheers

    Update: used the original card from the car but didn’t work. I’ve noticed that when I copied the new maps onto the card that there is now a system volume information folder on the card. Could this be the cause for not working?
    If so how can I delete this folder??

    The system information folder may not be the problem.
    I think you even can not delete it, but it is not necessary.
    You must unpack the downloaded file in the root of the sd-card and (if asked) overwrite all files. The result is that you only see one folder (besides the system information folder).

    can you tell me how the root of you original SD card was looking like?
    And which car do you choose before downloading?

    Hi Peter
    The original SD card only had one folder called "markets" and one file called dbinfo.
    I chose the Golf Until 2015, Discover Media and World maps.

    NOTE: The reason why I chose Discover Media is because the System Infotainment version in the unit says 5G0 035 846. However the unit looks like the Discover Pro interface. Very confusing.

    And after the update, you also got only map “markets” and file dbinfo?
