Hi I am having the MIB2 unit. I tried to update the latest map 2017 -2018.
However, it seems my volkswagen SD card doesn't have enough space for that.
Does anyone, which folder is for the AUS map only? Therefore, I can ignore the others excess folders.

Cheers,

Lune

You need to follow the instructions and backup everything on your sdcard, then delete all contents.
Then you can copy the new maps

Yes I did follow in the instructions. And delete all content. But still not enough space

I noticed yesterday when I started copying the new maps across that I was nearing the size of the SD card. The card is only 7.45GB and the updated maps were 7.15GB (unpacked). I bought a 64GB SD card, I'm going to format it to FAT and see if the head unit detects the map database.

I believe you need to use the original navigation SD card.

I can't find the post but I think I read somewhere that someone removed maps except Australia and it worked.

Just looking at the size of the maps from the original V3 (May 2015) I got with the car and this was only 5.48 GB. Part number 3G0 919 866 K.
V4 (Nov 15) 5.83 GB
V5 (May 16) 6.04 GB
V6 (Nov 17) 6.88 GB and now
V7 (May 17) 7.17 GB

Looks like V8 (Nov 17) will not fit on the current size SD card (7.45 GB). Unless we have the option with the new update in November to only download Australian/New Zealand maps VW may have over the barrel with purchasing a new SD card.

Of note is the Western European maps are 12.6 GB on SD Card 3G0 919 866 BC.

So question to the brain trust - What/why is the original SD card so special? Is there some hidden data on the card to work with the MIB2? Is it possible to use another "approved" SD card?
Have a go asking these questions to your local dealer and try to capture it on video

You need to use the original SD card. Your wasting your money getting a new card as it won't be recognised by the unit.

Use Windows for this process .... Mac OSX never works for me and of course you need a card reader.

Download the maps & extract them into a folder on your Windows desktop using the recommended archiving application.

Once that is done, go into say the India folder & remove just one file (make it a large one) & that will save the space you need. DO NOT delete the whole India folder or it will affect the display of your route marker signs when you use the map i.e. you will see the 'green sign but it will not contain the route number e.g. M1 or A32, etc.

Quick format the SD card as FAT32.

Copy the contents of from the folder on your Windows desktop straight onto the SD card.

Eject the card & that is it. Well that's what works for me anyway.

Finally, I got it working. I formatted the entire factory SD card using disk utility.

And updated the Volkswagen discovware version 1.4. It works.

It seems that manually copy and paste doesn't work for mac users. Please try to use it via the Discovware.

If you already downloaded the latest map. Just simple simply move to the discovware data folder.
