MFD2 : What's the latest maps

[shooter999]

Hi there. Thinking of buying an MFD2.

Whats the later version of maps that I can use with this system & where can I get them from?

Thanks

Are you sure your not thinking about MFD3 there Alex.

The OP is asking about it's predecessor the MFD2.

[alexperkins]

I used to have an MFD2 carl  

Latest maps for both units is V7, though 'officially' the MFD2 maps are called 2011

The maps are actually available from the Teleatlas website a lot cheaper than from VW. When I last had my (soon to be sold) MFD2 fitted in the car, I purchased a 2009 (then the current year) Europe wide DVD disc for £99, when the dealer wanted £170 for the VW branded disc.

Works perfectly and it was TMC enabled for the traffic management. Not sure how much they cost now.

Alex updated mine for me and now ive got the 2011 maps and they are much better!  TMC is excellent!
