Can I ask a question to those whose map database is now upgraded OTA. Do you have an active data plan with cubic telecom?

I do but I’m not sure it’s required for map updates

No, I've never had a Cubic plan.

I believe you only need one if you want to use the car as a hotspot for wifi-only devices which don't have their own independent data connections (such as my iPad).

Thanks both, was wondering if it was needed. The fact mine is not updating has me grasping at straws. It's dealer time when we get back from holiday.

Does need to be switched on for uodates in the settings screen in the connect ID app though, you might want to check that it’s in settings under mobile services

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes that is set to on and always has been AFAIK. (checked it a few times)

There is a 1gb option with cubic telecom that is free for three minthsand you can sign up with no commitment. Might be worth trying that see if that forces it to work

Has anyone downloaded a map update from VW website? https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/car/

How did the update go if you did?

Ohh can you tell me how big it it unpacked? It's already 26gb compressed! I'll need a new USB stick to transfer to the car.

Downloaded Discover Care for Mac, however, can't select the proper data file for the ID3 from the drop down list - as it's not listed.

Car picked up 16 July, I think it came with 21.5, although there seems to have been some updating over the air going on. Or I may just be terminally confused.

All the best
