It sounds like you have a MKIV DVD-based navigation computer. Yes, the standard OS update disk is a CD. (You could burn it to a DVD if you wanted to, but I would stick with CD.)

Yes, your original map disk will work with the car after you do the V32 update.

Yes, but this is priacy. It is not urban myth that many MKIV nav computers have difficulty reading copies (I have one of them). Some MKIV computers are fine with backup copies, but many are not-- if you search this forum, you will find dozens of folks posting experiences where their nav computers crash frequently with copies.

2009.2 High is out for Europe. The US is still on 2009.1, so that may be the source of some confusion.
