If you own a Volkswagen with a navigation system, you know how important it is to keep the maps and software up to date. Outdated navigation information can lead to missed turns and wrong directions, costing you time, effort, and the cost of fuel.

Fortunately, updating your Volkswagen navigation system is easy. In most cases, you can do it yourself at home with a USB drive and your computer.

Here’s How To Update Your Volkswagen Navigation System

  1. First, you’ll need to purchase the latest map update for your particular navigation system. Be sure to select the right update for your model year.
  2. Once you have the update, unzip the file and copy it to a USB drive. Most navigation updates are between 4 and 8 GB.
  3. Insert the USB drive into your Volkswagen’s navigation system. The system will then read the files on the drive and prompt you to begin the update process.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.

Final Thoughts

Depending on the size of the update, it may take up to an hour to finish. Once the update is finished, your navigation will be running on the latest map data and software. This will help ensure that you never miss a turn or get lost again. It’s that simple!
