Are you asking for a map update for your MFD2?

If it's a DVD version you can get 2015 maps from www.gpsunderground.com.

For the maps I think you only need to burn it and insert it. If all works fine you don't need to do anything else. If not, you might need to make sure your HU is unblocked. Read the DIY manual available in that site I mentioned above and update the radio to the latest firmware available and unblock it to accept the DVD with the maps.

AFAIK the mfd is cd and the mfd2 is dvd. It should tell you in your manual which it is  :happy2:

There are 2 versions of the MFD2. The earlier read only CD and after that it appeared a DVD version. The colour of the buttons differ. The manual should tell which it is.  :wink:

Black buttons=cd version

Non genuine cd/doovd's will make the maps run slightly slower, not much mind
