Maps and POIs for Discover Media

[sillygogo]

That's handy, I'm due for a service and try as I might, I can't get the MIB1 upgrade to work. I tried the small single file and the 5G one,. Both gave error messages. I restored the original, from a backup, and all's well. It really shouldn't be this difficult.

It depends on your card version, V2 should work, V1 need to go to the dealer for a software fix first.

I'm neither getting ripped off with a service nor with a map update.

DIY....

Success.
updated from 0420 - MRM2 2015/16 to 0635 - MRM2 2016/17
the file save dates only moved from April 2015 to Nov 2015 though?
all seems good after a restart in the car.
thanks.

I went around and clicked on SA and they still have May 2016.

Work around for the latest maps (May 2016).
Go to the here maps site VW_Middle_East_media_mib2
If that does not work then you will need to change location.
Top left side under the here logo change the location to Europe.
Select english and this will take you to the main page. On left side select factory installed and then with OEM select VW Middle East.
Continue with finding your system and you should be taken to a 2 x file down for the Middle East, Afrika, SE Asia and Aust/NZ.

Not sure if I did it wrong but doesn't work for me...
Downloaded single file then extracted to the SD Card...
Inserted into slot 2 in car and powered up the stereo...
keep getting error...no readable data...
Its a My14 GTI with standard discovery media stereo using a V2SD Card

After backing it up, I deleted all data on original SD.

Extracted single file to my desktop.

Copy/pasted folder (I think it was called "maps") onto SD card.

Inserted SD in MIB II SD slot number 1 (pretty sure it was 1 - left most slot anyway).

Came up straight away.

The May 2016 update seems to have been removed. Via other methods I managed to download 2 different updates. For anyone who has download the 'Discovery Media' updates, what was the file name when it was downloaded. I have:

P34_N60S3MIBS2_ROW_NT.7z
0635_V05_1911c.xROW2.7z

Which one is correct (if either)

Thx
Tony

It should be P38 at the front. Navigate yourself around by choosing South America or any other country other than Australia. That may help.
