2 Answers
To upgrade the navigation system for Volkswagen Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Enter the navigation interface; 2. Click on function settings; 3. Click on about navigation; 4. A dialog box for starting the upgrade will pop up, select Gaode Navigation, then choose upgrade to complete the process. Below is a related introduction about the navigation system: The built-in GPS antenna in the car navigation system receives data signals from at least three of the 24 GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. The navigation host matches the position coordinates determined by the GPS satellite signals with the electronic map data to accurately determine the car's location on the electronic map. It conveniently and accurately informs the driver of the shortest or fastest route to the destination. The vehicle navigation system mainly consists of two parts: the navigation host and the navigation display terminal. Based on this, it will achieve various functions such as driving navigation, route recommendations, information queries, and AV/TV playback.
I've upgraded the navigation system on my Volkswagen Lavida several times, and experience has taught me that the simplest method is to visit the official Volkswagen app or website. After registering and logging in, find the navigation update entry and download the map package suitable for your model to your computer. Then, format an empty USB flash drive to FAT32, copy the files onto it, and plug it into the car's USB port. Start the ignition, enter the settings menu on the central control screen, and select the navigation update option. It will automatically recognize and begin the installation process, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Do not turn off the engine or remove the USB during this time to avoid system damage. Backing up personal settings is crucial—I didn't do it the first time and lost all my navigation history, requiring manual restoration. There are plenty of online tutorials, so even beginners can manage it. Use a stable internet connection when downloading to avoid interruptions. After the upgrade, the updated maps make driving more accurate, especially on long trips, which is a great relief. Of course, going to a 4S shop is safer, but DIY saves money and is more fun.
