You know anywhere to update the software? or have to go to a dealer?

Yeah unfortunately unless there is a tpi you will have to hassle the dealer for an update.

Hi Gents,

I'm new to the forum and owning a VW so apologies if this a newbie question... I work in IT so I should be able to understand this stuff easily once explained.

I just bought a 2014 GOLF GTI MK7 in Sydney Australia - it has a Discover media 1 device, it was running 2014 maps and I just upgraded them today to May 2017 upgrade.

I was wondering, does the Nav upgrade actually also upgrade the rest of the discover unit? because I'm trying to find out how to download and install the discover media software upgrade (like radio, bluetooth etc) to install any fixes that came out since 2014 and I couldn't find anything... right now all i could find online is just info on how to upgrade nav so didn't know if the two are linked together :/

System Info:
Device Part: 5G0035846A
Hardware: 040
Software: 0430
Nav db: ROW 2017/18
Media codec: N/A

Thanks again for your help!

Firmware updates for these aren't in the wild. You would have to ask a dealer and they will only update if you can describe a fault that is specified in a technical bulletin advising them to update.

Thanks for the info! ok if I'm out of warranty already from May 2017... will the dealer do them for free or try to charge me?

That's a question you'll have to ask your dealer. My situation was similar to yours but I just snuck in with the 3yr end of warranty service back in Feb. They upgraded me to a V.2 SD card, reflashed the head unit (which correct pronounciation errors) & updated the map series for free. Since then I've updated the mapset through this thread.

If you are looking for Map updates for any VW discover unit, download VW’s DiscoverCare Software. It allows you to select your head unit and the region you live in. It will then automatically create an SD card for you. Download the software here.
