North America/US MIB I Nav Updates?

[AdamSheikh]

Hi all,

I went through this saga a bit ago and gave up in frustration. Have there been any proper updates to the Navigation data for 2015 NAR/US Autobahn models with MIB 1?

I purchased my car in June 2014, so the maps are nearing 3+ years out of date. My nav SD card is "V1". I purchased a later version, but found out that it was not compatible with MIB 1 units. The VW nav website does not have any updates or info 2015 cars. Just curious if anyone has some insights on this.

Thanks!

2015 GTI Nav Map Update

My September 2014, car just received the latest map update (2018).
VW part # 5G9 919 866 Q. North America V7. (contains Mexico, US, Canada)
Your favourite VW dealer can order it for you.

For completeness, here the system info from my car:
Device part # 5G0 035 876
Hardware 014
Software 0655
Nav database # 5G9919866Q 0036 NAR2018

The dealer had to install the card. Because they have to hook the car up to the mothership, stick the card in, enter card ID#, card PIN # etc. (all come with the package). Then the card is registered to the car and cannot be used in another car.
The installation was free.
The card not so much: with tax $210.58 Canadian.
But my wife wants/has no cell but needs the nav when she uses the car, so there we are

On the unexpected bright side: this version is fast. Come home in the evening. Park the car and turn it off. Start in the morning: From starting the car to the nav system being up and running takes the same time as bluetooth connecting my phone. About as long as the previous card version took when the car had only been turned off for 10 minutes or so. Wow.
