Hi guys,

I've done many V32 Updates on the MK4s with the 16:9 screen.

Now I have a friend with the small radio-navigation system.
Looks like that:


In the trunk there is an ordinary MK4 computer. Can I update this kind of Satnav with the ordinary V32 CD? If yes, anything special about it, something to take care of? And does it make sense - what new features will you get on that small arrow-navigation-system?

Thanks in advance

The factory Ver. 32 disc updates a MKIV color unit to SW 10.0 and a MKIV Radio nav to SW 10.0 also. I have never done a radio nav but expect the procedure is the same as for a color nav. Maybe kiwi (the Navcoder guy) or Didi could verify this. They are on this board and in your area also.

Don't see why not. As far as features are concerned, it really depends on how old the current operating system is. At some point during the lifecycle they improved route mapping, so that would be at least one benefit, again assuming the existing firmware predates those kind of updates.

congratulations on the ride!!! welcome to the forum... we want pics!!! take pictures of your car, post it here, for all to see!!!


on the main menu screen, select settings... look at the top right corner of the screen, it should have a number... 3-1/20 or something like that ...

the first number is the MK - if you have MK4, then the number will be 4
the next number is your display, it should be obvious and thus irrelevant - if the is 1 - it is monochromatic (black and white), if it is 2- it is color... you know that already...

last 2 digits are the software/firmware... the latest for MK4 is V32, which is listed as version 100, and the numbers are "00"

check the number first, then lets see what you need next...

check with your local dealer for part number 01 59 0 141 891... it is about 10 US dollars, it is the update firmware, directly from the manufacturer, so there is no need to download it from some dubious sites

you are welcome...

did you get your perspective view activated? that is probably the most noticable upgrade over the older vesions... although, you might have had it with the version 91... (was it v.27? i don't remember... lol..)
