Maps updates removed from VW website

**funny** · 22-03-2020, 04:11 PM

I can confirm the map update works with the download from post #134. Went from ROW 2017/2018 to ROW 2020
It's big and the whole lot needs to be on it for it to work. I tried just the mib2 folder and the text file and it's not enough.
Load onto SD card. Open navigation - settings - version information. Hit the SD/USB button and it shouldn't take long to pick it up. If it keeps searching, cancel and redo. I had to do it 2 or 3 times before it picked up. The upload takes a bit, so make sure your battery is full or you have a charger attached or it'll drain quick.

Did you unzip the whole thing to an SD card of at least 32GB Put it in the car and go to update on the screen It should find which SD slot its in and load it
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE ANY PART OF IT We stressed that in earlier posts but it seems some think they know better.

You DONT have to load it all in one go If you turn the car off while its loading it will take up where it stopped

Been there done that without problems.
