Keep Your Volkswagen Navigation System Updated for Peak Performance
Maintaining your VW Sat Nav with the latest map updates is essential for precise guidance, improved travel efficiency, and a smoother driving experience. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to identify your vehicle’s infotainment system and find the right Volkswagen navigation update for your specific model.
Determine Your VW Infotainment System
Volkswagen vehicles are equipped with different versions of the MIB platform (Modular Infotainment Matrix). Each generation—such as MIB1, MIB2, or MIB3—offers varying features like GPS navigation, internal storage for media, SiriusXM or DAB radio compatibility, App-Connect (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), Wi-Fi, and more.
Before downloading or purchasing a new Volkswagen map card, it’s important to know exactly which MIB system your car is using.
How to Locate the MIB Part Number
Luckily, there’s no need to physically disassemble your dashboard or remove any modules. Your infotainment system’s part number can be easily found within the system settings by following one of these methods:
Method 1: Using System Information
-
Navigate to:
CAR→Setup→System information -
Look for the field labeled Device part number
Method 2: Using the Software Version Menu
-
Press and hold the MENU button for about 3 seconds
-
Select
Software update / versions -
Find the section labeled Part number
Once you’ve located the part number, you can match it to the appropriate MIB version using the reference table below.
