Mines a 63 plate and I bought the USB which is uploaded in the centre console; it came with a 'security code' which I had to input, perhaps that's still needed so generating your own USB won't work? Sorry, I'm not technically aware enough to offer another explanation, there'll be others on here who are though.
Could you send the disc back and swap,out for the USB?
Welcome to the forum any way

Doesn't worth to upgrade if you don't have the Satnav module under the front seat (passenger seat, left hand driver, here).

You can see some about it here: https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic35932.html


The module is easily purchasable but I'm not sure how easy it is to "retrofit" in the EUR version of the car.

Vanny might have updates on that. Freelander 2 2014 SD4 Automatic HSE Fuji White

I recently updated my MY13 with a usb purchased from eBay for £80 seems to work fine other than taking the best part of 3 hours to update!

If you have a MY13 vehicle it will be the Gen2.1 system which uses a USB based upgrade not the DVD based system. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone

Hi, thanks for the link.

I saw that one earlier on but I was put off because it quotes "Gen 2.1 InControl Touch". My LR2 does not have "InControl Touch" (according to the LandRover web site...) But, if yours worked, I may give it a try.

Thanks CJ. Mine is MY13 so it now seems more likely this is the one I need

Thanks Sid, I may have to ask the supplier if they will swap it. Where did you get yours from?

To those who have upgraded, is it worth the £100?

I hope this photo clears up a lot of mythical preconceptions!

Gen2.1 is the same as “InControl touch” (purely marketing by JLR) but “Pro” was different.

You can update via USB (centre console) or Disc (right in front of you)! MY15

Meridian Rear Media with WIFI
Factory Powered Tailgate
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

That’s interesting since I was told the only upgrade for my 63 plate was via the USB - disc would have been easier

I have not come across anyone who sells this on disc only as a USB - that includes the company who creates this for LR.

Europe, SA and Middle East are all USB, I suppose that some smaller regions could be available on DVD. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone

Asking out of ignorance...what's the point of upgrading?
From my experience with a much loved 2012 system, and extensively used throughout Europe, I find that any new highway or modifications which obviously are not within the data don't cause any problems. Using a new motorway for example, "Vera" quickly modifies the guidance until back onto a listed road. Similarly, "Vera" often is unaware of new roundabouts but with common sense I just follow the original sign posts.
