If the update process is finished, and when you put back it to the car and the navigation displays no information of your location or there are missing countries, you just simply downloaded the wrong version of map bundle. I found myself in this situation because of a faulty card reader. This folder contains the original content of the card, and simply copy the content of that folder back to the card and start over the update process. Simply find the data directory you configured initially in the application, and locate a folder something like: C:\Volskwagen\Data\.map If you find yourself in this situation, nothing to worry about. Once it is finished, you can simply put back the card into the card and it will ready to leverage the new map info. Copy the downloaded package to the card.Downloads the new package (based on the selected map bundle, it can be between 6 – 13 GB).Move on an start the update and grab a cup of coffee, or go and walk your dog because based on the selected map package it will take 1 or 2 hours to finalize. You will see a wide, green line labeled “Updates are available”. Once the application detects the SD card, you can proceed and start the update if there is. If it is locked, simply slide that switch to the opposite status and then insert it. There is a small sliding mechanism with a label lock. In the next step, you need to insert the SD card into your computer but before do that, check on the card it is locked or not. Data folder is a place where the application stores the backup files, downloads new resources if available. Once the application started, the first think you need to done is to accept the terms and conditions and configure the basic options for the application like language, region and the data folder. Double click the application to start it (DiscoverCareStart.exe).



VW developed a pretty straight-forward and easy to use process to be able to update the map database right in your home, using your own PC or Mac computer (with a proper SD card reader). So, let’s check and update if neccessary. The version number entitled on the SD card vas ‘Europe 1, V9’. But because I’m coming from IT, I – of course – checked is there any new updates for the database. When I installed the VW provided SD memory card to load the map database, it was working as expected. Recently I have received my new Volkswagen (VW) car equipped with Discover Media Pro built-in navaigation system.
