7.5 Discover Pro Infotainment POI update

Will also add that this works following the instructions in this forum post

Uploading Speed Camera / POIs - Tail of Woe - VW Pulled the Update Site Again | SEATCupra.net Forums

I have the Golf GTi Mk7.5 with the large touch screen discover pro model which is now identified as MIB2.5. Note you will need to donate $14.50AU to the programmer to get the icon to work, but it worth the money. I also used Pocket GPS World to download the camera information as I have a subscription. The instructions in the forum post are based on using this source. I also downloaded the 44x44 icons and converted then to 39x39 PNG using paint from windows 10. Again not that hard.

Why VW don't make this easier I don't know but thanks to TELL for the post above which pointed me to a working solution.

I'm new to these forums having purchased a Golf R Grid wagon this year.

This thread has been really helpful but using poinspector I am struggling to get my POIs to be recognsied by the discover media. The upload to the discover media unit seems to work find and I can see the categories and icons that i have created under "My points of interest" but if I click on a category the unit finds 0 locations near me. I have tried all of the different options for settings in poinspector but no luck unfortunately.

The POIs I am trying to add have been downloaded from poidb.com in kml format.

It seems some here have had luck with this. Any suggestions where I might be going wrong?

Thanks

Contacted the developer of poinspector. Turns out that poinspector didn't work for discover media units in the southern hemisphere (not known before this). The developer of poinspector provided me with a new version to test which works fine now. It was impressive how responsive the developer was. No hesitation in recommending this program and making a donation to the developer. I wasn't really expecting that I would get a reply when I contacted him.

Just used POInspector 6.9x software to create speed, red light and average speed camera POI's for my Discover Pro, with icons and successfully uploaded to the HU from a USB stick.
Well worth the donation and pretty easy to do if you follow the instructions on this thread, user manual on the POInstector website and links to the Cupra forum thread.

Make sure you use Sibling Folders for POI categories.
POI for a lot of Oz cameras can be downloaded from Poidb.com - there are Groups for Fixed, Redlight and Average/point to point as well as Mobile - the mobile is just some common locations where they occasionally set up I believe and not especially useful IMHO.

Easy to join POIdb and add in your own known speed/red-light camera locations if they aren't shown.

Useful icons (which you can choose for categories if you donate) can be copied from VWROC.com here: https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/2...comment-385708
Save the .png files, open in paint and resize to 39 x 39 pixels so they will work on the Discover Pro.

Useful video on how to use POIbase for importing your camera info into VW systems - this one deals with the Audi MMI but the steps are the same on how to create files for loading into the VW discover system.

I updated the POI on my MY19 Golf R (Discover Pro) using the POIDB site for the locations and the POInspect0r to perform the upload. Took about 20 minutes to setup the database and then less than 5 minutes to load. Now I've got a visual and audio warning for red light and speed cameras. It worked a treat. Very happy and it only cost me a $20 donation to POInspect0r.
