Hello all
I have just bought a new to me Golf Mk7 Variant 2015 which comes equipped with a Discover Media V1, the Navi software dates from 2015 and so I wanted to update to the latest 2020 version.
I'm located in the EU and understood that software/map updates could be done by the user/owner, what seems to be a simple process of downloading the updates from VW and installing on the SD card has turned in to a long and frustrating road to nowhere.
This is what I did:
Removed the VW labelled SD card and checked the file format (MS DOS Fat32)
Downloaded the new software version for 2020 from the official VW source
Copied the existing maps on to my hard drive (drag and drop)
Deleted the old map software (titled markets) and formatted the SD card
Loaded the new maps (titled markets) by dragging and dropping, it took 20 - 30 minutes to load just under 8Gb
Put SD card back in to the car but nothing happens, I get "Please insert a data medium with valid navigation data"
I've resorted to putting the old software back on but get the same message as above - so I'm now left with no Navigation function.
Where am I going wrong??
