No one have any luck with the V1 update. I tried a second attempt but no progress.

Just got a response 3 weeks after my original inquiry today.. Sigh
Navigation.com also deflected my email on to Volkswagen...

Good morning Thomas,

Thank you for your email.

There is currently no update as yet for the Golf 7 maps.

We are still waiting on update from our factory for when this will be released. However, when it is released, our dealer network will be advised of this and you can get your maps updated at your local dealership.

The reference number for your email is 1098038.

Thank you for contacting Volkswagen Group Australia.

Kind regards,

I replied back with an email and some screenshots of how ridiculous it was and to their credit I got a call back straight away..
Take this with a grain of salt but I was told the following via the phone...

There will be an update for V1 early next year
It will be made available through the dealerships and not navigation.com
This will be a chargeable however we were "encouraged" to negotiate with our dealer

Sounds like BS.

"Encouraged" to negotiate - So mum and dad drivers will pay for it as a little 'extra' at their next service and everyone on here will get it at no cost as a 'gesture' from VW when we kick up a stink.

Still doesn't work on V1 — when the 2013's didn't work I even downloaded the 2012 maps, which ought to encompass the very earliest Discover Media units.

When my TDI had its second service last month, I enquired of the service "consultant," who thought there "might" be a map update for my unit next year (much the same answer as I got last year.)

In other words, I've been sold yet another Volkswagen pup.

BTW, if you want your navi to respond quicker - delete all folders bar aus in the markets folder Unless you intend to drive your car there!

I tried this without any luck using a V2 card and ROW 2016 maps. The navi system wouldn't move off the initial loading page and requested a valid file be used. Sort of makes sense as it's not mentioned in the step-by-step instructions that this option exists. It would be great if it did, as the "aus" folder contents are only 414 MB in size instead of 5.83 GB for the entire "markets" folder contents.

Sorry if this has been covered already but I couldn't find a specific answer.

I have a new MY16 Golf R Wolfsburg and my maps software provided is as follows:

PartNumber2="3G0919866K"
PartNumber3="5L0051236G"
PartNumber4="6P0919866C"
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0420"
SystemName="MRM2 2015/16"

The map data downloaded from the link above is:
PartNumber2="5G0919866AM"
PartNumber3="5E0051236H "
PartNumber4="5F0060884R "
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0034"
SystemName=" ROW 2016 "

What I'm not sure of is if the maps I've downloaded are newer (i.e. an update to what's already installed) or not?
