New 32 GB Navigation SD Card for Discover Media

[S1andS2]

I know there are some threads around this topic but I am looking for some advice on installing a new 32GB Map card in my California T6.0 2017. It is the old problem of the original 16GB card not taking the current full Europe maps. I tried squeezing them on as per a previous thread but it did not work for me with the current version Europe maps on the VW site, Local VW dealer (Switzerland) was talking mega cash for a new card so I ordered one from Germany. Card came but was not recognised, they sent a second with same problem. They issued a refund but stated:

"With this newest update 5C0035680 models struggle and you're not the first customer."

Does anybody know a solution, perhaps a source of cards that might work...but from the above it would seem the problem is with the Discover Media? Firmware update?

Short-term I installed one of the smaller map sets to the existing card...but it is annoying as I cannot find the right country grouping for me. I need Switzerland, France, UK, Germany and Spain. Best I can do is a grouping without Spain.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Our garage said just to install waze on your phone and use apple carplay, not to bother with updating.

We have a Kenwwood unit with built in garmin satnav - invoice from previous owner shows cost as £1300 approx including fitting from VW. It’s free to download full European maps to SD card from the Garmin app but they tend to be outdated. Waze over CarPlay is far better.
