Map updates - Discover Pro

[Stuart79]

When I put my VIN in there were no maps available which didn't sound promising from the start, so I downloaded the maps from the VW site which was what I'd read people do (I even tried old maps from various places to no avail) - I have read about Discover care, but I'm not sure what that is even after some searching. No, no Mac's here, they are the devil.

Are you sure you got the correct maps and you have the Discover PRO and its not a Discover Media as the map version doesnt look like a Pro file

[Stuart79]

I believe so, the maps are definitely stored on a HDD, not an SD card, there's a unit in the glove box with 2 sd card slots with nothing in them and a dvd player. How would I tell for sure? I has the Canton system if that helps.

You look to have the corrects maps - VW Discover Pro MIB 1 maps.
Grab your SD card, not micro with adaptor, and reformat it.
Down load the maps and save the contents to your computer's hard drive.
Unzip the data into another folder and then copy this to your SD card.
Place the SD card into slot number 1.
Try the update process again.

If that does not work you may need to reach out to the likes of BRISKODA for advice - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020) - BRISKODA

Can save time by just unzipping to the SD card as I do Have also used micro cards ok and even a stick

I'm currently using a 64gb USB stick, I've tried reformatting it in NTFS and exFAT multiple times with different maps. Is it worth getting a 64gb SDcard and giving that a go do you think, or just ask on BRISKODA?

Last time I did the Tiguan was on a 200gb Micro SD card I use in a dashcam

I had a bit of a browse on BRISKODA and I found this guy seemed to have the exact problem as me... looks like I need to get a VCDS to enable the dev menu - no idea why, but I assume it wouldn't be much more expensive than getting the service center to do it.

Any recommendations on somewhere reputable to get one?

@Stuart79 - Apologies re the SD card, I was thinking of the Discover Media update procedure.
Yes any digital media source is suitable with the Discover Pro (and like) map update, thumb drive, SD cards, etc.
Glad you looked into Briskoda, the people there are best to assist on Skoda issues, as us Aussie Volkswagen lot aren't really on top of.

The MIB1 did have some problems with map updates but this was mainly isolated to the Discover Media with OEM SD card. There was a software update available from dealers but a few vehicles missed out on this and now in the 2nd or 3rd owner's hands are having problems.

Re VCDS/OBD11 help, reach out to the forum members first to see if the fix from Briskoda helps - https://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f153/
If should find someone local or wanting a drive to you that will assist.
