Maps and POIs for Discover Media

[DV52]

I compared my admaps before (when originally bought) and after and could really only find three items that differ:

New VCID: 2757E22B5E7E2B061F-8072

Coding:02730008FF00000011510001000902001F0104960100010045

EV_MUStd4CPASE_SK37.rod Old VCID: 2757E22B5E7E2B0CF4-8072 Coding:02730008FF00000011510001000900001F0100960100010245 EV_MUStd4CPASE_SE37.rod

Now the Coding differences are probably due to changes I have done since (haven't check them yet). The rest I am not sure about or what they mean, I am thinking my Navi now has new software SE37 vs SK37? VCID I believe is generated by VCDS, hence not applicable.

Take care and have fun - comments welcome.

Tim: interesting analysis- thanks for sharing. I was intrigued by your comparison, so I used my handy-dandy code-string to byte-list converter (see VCDS reference thread if you want a copy) to produce the table below:



If my guesses are correct, you must have implemented the "nag" screen and the Start-up screen tweaks - is this the case?
If so, the only "unexplained" change has been for Byte14, Bit 1. Not sure what this means, but I suspect that the firmware on your 5F unit has also been modified

Do you have a VW reference number for the update that was done (so I can convince my local dealer service manager that there is actually a fix for the V1 update problem)?

Don

PS: I agree, the ROD numbers are not related to the change - this is an Ross Tech file that clearly has been updated since your original auto-scan

Hey Don,
Yes you are right about the nag screen and start logo.
I had a look through my coding changes and Byte 13 is actually the bit for deactivation of AM radio.
So all is explained... Leaving firmware.

It's funny you ask about a case no - never got one, BUT VW customer service called me today to follow up on an unanswered email from 5 weeks ago... I explained and asked about you guys. Said that you are definitely welcome to go to the dealer and ask for the change to be done - considering my solution worked - it will be on a case by case basis though (having to pay or not). They also said there were "only" 3000 affected cars...

Interestingly my golf my 7 goes in Monday to have updated maps loaded with a new piece of equipment they have.
Originally a full maps update was going to cost $178 which I wasn't keen on. As this came up during a service, on my customer feedback call, I mentioned that I believed when I bought the car, I thought it had free updates.

Anyway, I get a call from service saying they will try applying updates without any mention of $. Will advise how it goes.

Maps updated successfully. Before and after of version screens as well as a neat sticky label one has to peel off the screen:
VW GTI 2013 maps upgrade - Album on Imgur

They struggled a bit to update them - they said it was the first time; and said words to the effect that in the end they just had to copy the files over. Anyway it was done at now charge which was great (just a day without car and cost of two two uber rides).

I would be interested to workout whether the files on this are the same as doing a direct download.

In the root directory of the SD card is DBInfo.txt which says:
PartNumber2="5G0919866AM"
PartNumber3="5E0051236H "
PartNumber4="5F0060884R "
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0034"
SystemName=" ROW 2016 "

Most of the markets/aus/map /MapRegion files are dated 16 July 2015.

Those files are the same as the direct download based on the DBInfo.txt I have for my MY15 Golf R that I installed myself.

So, I got a Golf R last week and was provided with V3 maps. Am I to understand that V4 is available?

Yep. I took my R's v3 maps to v4 last week.

Follow the instructions a few posts back and you'll get the link to v4. Download, extract with 7zip and paste the complete folder structure and you're done.

It took me a few hours to download (5.5Gb) and about 20mins to extract (6.7Gb) and about 10mins to copy across.

Is there much different between v3 and v4?

TBH, I rarely use it, so I have no idea on the differences. I tend to use Apple Maps on CarPlay because of the live traffic.

I did it simply to keep it current and for when my wife is in the car as she uses it.

Hi Mike

I downloaded the latest files online and they seem to be identical numbers in the DB info file

PartNumber2="5G0919866AM"
PartNumber3="5E0051236H "
PartNumber4="5F0060884R "
ApplicationSoftwareVersionNumber="0034"
SystemName=" ROW 2016 "

Might give it another go updating myself.
Which dealer did you go through... ?

Cheers

Hey I know it has probably been spoken about already, but is it possible to update V1 maps?
