Vw Discover Media Firmware Update 2021

Recently I have received my new Volkswagen (VW) machine equipped with Notice Media Pro born navaigation system. When I installed the VW provided SD memory carte to load the map database, it was working as expected. Simply because I'k coming from IT, I – of course – checked is there any new updates for the database.

The version number entitled on the SD card vas 'Europe one, V9'. Then, allow'south check and update if neccessary.

Prerequisites

VW developed a pretty straight-frontwards and like shooting fish in a barrel to use process to be able to update the map database correct in your habitation, using your own PC or Mac computer (with a proper SD card reader). The only thing yous need to download from VW is the update software, and tin can be downloaded the following way:

1. Navigate to this VW site.
2. Select your machine model and year (i.e.: Passat from 2017).
3. Select your infotainment organisation type (i.e.: Discover Media).
4. Download the software according to your computer type (i.e.: Windows).
5. When y'all have downloaded the package, simply extract information technology on your estimator (i.east.: C:\Volkswagen)
6. Double click the application to start it (DiscoverCareStart.exe).

Once the application started, the offset recollect y'all demand to done is to have the terms and weather condition and configure the basic options for the application like language, region and the information folder. Information folder is a place where the application stores the fill-in files, downloads new resource if bachelor.

In the next step, you demand to insert the SD carte du jour into your computer simply before do that, check on the carte du jour it is locked or non. At that place is a small sliding mechanism with a label lock. If information technology is locked, simply slide that switch to the opposite condition and and then insert it.

Once the application detects the SD carte, y'all tin keep and start the update if there is. You will see a wide, greenish line labeled "Updates are available". Move on an showtime the update and catch a cup of coffee, or get and walk your dog considering based on the selected map package it will take 1 or two hours to finalize.

The tool volition:

1. Create a backup of your SD carte du jour. It will come handy if the update fails.
2. Downloads the new bundle (based on the selected map bundle, it can be between 6 – 13 GB).
3. Copy the downloaded packet to the card.

Once information technology is finished, you tin can simply put back the card into the card and information technology will gear up to leverage the new map info.

Troubleshooting

Update failed

If you notice yourself in this state of affairs, nothing to worry about. Your data is not lost. Just find the data directory you configured initially in the application, and locate a folder something like:

C:\Volskwagen\Data\<random letters and numbers>.map

This folder contains the original content of the carte, and only copy the content of that folder dorsum to the card and start over the update procedure. I institute myself in this situation because of a faulty menu reader.

Wrong map bundle downloaded

If the update process is finished, and when you lot put back it to the car and the navigation displays no data of your location or there are missing countries, you lot simply but downloaded the wrong version of map package. You can cheque the bundles at VW folio linked earlier (where you downloaded the update tool, on the aforementioned page at the lesser yous will encounter the bundles). Have a expect on that page and choose that bundle you want to download.
