Navigation data

The Infotainment system is equipped with an internal navigation data storage medium. Depending on the country, the required navigation data may already be installed.

The Infotainment system always requires up-to-date navigation data to ensure that route guidance can be implemented correctly and that the functions provided are fully available.

NOTICE

If you use outdated navigation data, there may be adverse effects on the navigation system. It may not be possible to determine up-to-date routes, or route guidance may guide you to an incorrect destination.

• Always ensure that your navigation data is kept up-to-date.

Navigation Data Online - Additional Information

Regions in the navigation data that you do not use can be removed from the system under certain circumstances, e.g.

navigation data memory low on space. If you subsequently need these regions again at a later time, the navigation system will download them again on request. No VW Connect contract or VW Connect Plus contract is required for this purpose. This service depends on the vehicle equipment and is only available in some countries.

1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Establish an Internet connection if you have not already done so.
3. Depending on the country, also select the "Online mode with location data" mode in the privacy settings (→ Privacy settings) .

Users who use the vehicle as an anonymous guest need to reselect the privacy settings each time the vehicle starts (→ Privacy settings) .

Updating navigation data manually

1. Download and save the navigation data onto a USB data storage device.
2. Switch the vehicle ignition on.
3. Link the USB data carrier to the Infotainment system when the vehicle is stationary.

The navigation data for frequently driven regions is automatically updated in the background.

While and after updating the navigation data, no message appears in the Infotainment system.

If you update the navigation data manually, the USB data carrier must remain permanently connected. You will not receive a notification when the update is complete.

Do not disconnect the USB data carrier from the Infotainment system for a few days until the navigation data for visited regions has been fully downloaded and installed. The installation will start automatically in the background during the journey. Doing so will cancel the update process.

If you disconnect the data carrier and visit a new region in offline mode, the navigation data is not updated due to the lack of a USB data carrier and an Internet connection.
