Map update from one car to another?

matt@stratford · 09-25-2019, 03:33 PM

Evening,

I’m about to change my car (reducing my monthly’s) from a dec 16 to a march 14. I know the nav is a different version, but can I download the latest version for my current car and upload to my new?

Thanks

No...updates are specific to vin numbers.

Yes absolutely, as long as they're the same head unit (id4,5 & 6 are all the same), I always use mine to update courtesy cars.

Well, as ever things never go as planned. I downloaded the latest map ok but when I plug into the cars USB, nothing!!!! It’s fat32 which I think is right but I always find this stuff annoying. Any ideas??

One car being a 14 plate prob means its on the Next version, while the 16 plate being EVO maybe?
