Arteon Map Updates

[Guest001]

Hi guys probably a silly question to start with but did you ask your VW dealer to do this for you ? i did on my 1st service & they did for free. Next question does anyone know if you can & then if yes how to get your live google maps on to your dash ?
As soon as you go android auto the maps only appear on the info unit & not the dash.

No you get the maps off VW germany and No you cant have Google maps in the dash in front of you As far as most poster tell us

Hi All,

Spent days researching and downloading, trying failing. Finally I got it to work!

Nav device: Discover Navigation Pro
Download: http://vw-mapscdn.tdd.adacordcdn.com...S5MIBH3_ROW.7z (2020 maps 24.2GB)
Media device: Lexar Jumpdrive v100 USB 3.0 32GB (Bought from Woolworths)
Copy method: FAT 32 format. Unzip files (not parent folder) into USB
Patch method:
1) Plug into USB port located inside mobile phone compartment.
2) Go to navigation > settings > version information
3) Tap "Update (SD/USB)" <--(this is where I got stuck most of the time)
4) After a few seconds to a minute, an update on the USB should be detected. Accept update and update should take 40 mins approx.

What failed for me in previous attempts:
- Sandisk 32GB 98mb/s in both exFat and Fat32 formats
- Lexar USB 3 32GB, with ExFat format (the same USB device as above)

Cant understand why people have so much trouble

I have latest on a 4year old well used Samsung 32GB microSD card I had in my dashcams Formatted in Fat32 and not a single problem

Have another copy on an old Fujitsu 32Gb SD card also formatted as Fat32 which also works

Stick either in one of the SD slots in glovebox and it finds it and updates Simples


Your link doesnt work for me

Hi @Hillbilly

My bad here is the link:
http://vw-mapscdn.tdd.adacorcdn.com/...S5MIBH3_ROW.7z

Regarding why the MicroSD didn't work, I wish I knew why. It could be one of the following reasons:

a) The brand and specs of the card weren't compatible (Sandisk MicroSDHC 32GB UHS-I card with adapter)
b) The adapter was defective
c) The card itself was defective
d) The SD card reader in my car was defective
e) Software or firmware within the SD reader or infotainment selectively only allowing VW SDcards write access.
f) The files were corrupted or did not copy over properly
g) The SD card was formatted in Fat32 in OSX Apple Mac.

b, c, d and g are unlikely because I was able to see the files while browsing in the infotainment's photo viewer. Though with g) not sure if OSX Fat32 is different to Win Fat32, or if it matters.

Im not sure why e) would be the case since USBs would then be too easy of a backdoor.

That would then leave a) or f) or possibly g)

B or D is most likely but you have two SD slots dont you

Yes using a fruity think is different and causes more problems than enough

I do because I dont have any data on my phone and never will

I thought all plans came with some data.

At the very least you can download google maps for your area and that still would be more accurate than the inbuilt nav

You are assuming I have a plan. I dont. I am on prepaid and if my phone is used once a week its busy. I have done that and used it but my built in VW map is as good and its on a much bigger screen in two places in my car

I just downloaded and updated my 2015 Mk7 Golf with a retrofitted MIB1 with this file via SD card.

I'm super happy as I wasn't able to update a map last year. I thought that my unit would need newer firmware as I thought the map updates deliberately required it (with dealer interventuin required) , but my success this time seems to have proven that wrong.
