I've been trying to download it, but the download won't start, keeps telling me "An error occurred while retrieving update data" and telling me to "check my connection settings", which are okay.
Anyone else having any problems, or is it just me?

On the My Vauxhall app it states, "You can also download the update file directly and install it in your vehicle", anyone know anything about this? I've never found a way to do it.

Cheers

I’ve just bought a new Grandland GS and noticed the updates too. I also had the same problem with the My Vauxhall app telling me to check my connection.

After lengthy web chat with their support team I was emailed a direct link to download the update directly. I did this (I have a MacBook Pro) I’ve downloaded the zipped update to my computer, unzipped it and copied the contents across to a USB stick….I’ve tried 2…one is a 128GB and one a 256gb so plenty of storage. I plug into the car and nothing happens.

Does anyone know if I need to move any files from within the root folder? I’m completely stumped!!!!

As far as I am aware, the normal way to update the maps is via the "VAUXHALL Update app" on either PC or MAC.
I have the VAUXHALL Update app on my MAC, but just out of curiosity I've just had a look round the Vauxhall / My Vauxhall websites and can't find a link to download the app anymore.

Not very helpful I know!

Hello the app says not able to download updates for this car and directs you to use Vauxhall online?

Finally picking up my GS as a replacment for my 69 Sprt Nav this week after a 8 month wait and thought i'd download the lastest firmware/sat nav(V13.0) but the vauxhall update app gives the "An error occurred while retrieving update data" message.

However for me (and my VIn No.) the opel update version seems to work!

Like the My Vauxhall app itself, the Opel /, Vauxhall app is a hit and miss affair at best. Absolute disgrace that such basic applications should be allowed onto the app stores. Not fit for purpose. That said, the latest Map update downloaded and copied to a 32gb Kingston Traveller drive today after just three attempts.
