INSTRUCTIONS/TUTORIAL FOR MACOS USERS - I've done this on the latest version of macOS Catalina

For anyone have trouble with Discover not finding online servers - please try the following:

So on the Mac I was just playing around to see if I could find this config.ini file.

So to get to it you just
1) Open Finder
2) Click on Applications
3) Scroll down and find DiscoverCare
4) Right Click on it and then select "Show Package Contents"
5) Under Contents select MacOS
6) In the MacOS folder in Contents you should see the file "DiscoverCare.Config.ini"
7) Right click this file and select "Open With' and then choose "Other"
8) Select "TextEdit" to open this file and then edit the file AS ABOVE in the original post (add and 's' at the end of the four 'http")
9) Save this file. Close.
10) Double Click "DiscoverCare" and now it should be working!!

Credit to albino's original post on instructions to make this work on Windows!

It could feasibly be the macOS version. Initially I tried the install from my wife's Mac which is running Monterey which is the previous version - it had this issue so I took the problem to one of my Macs to study.

I find it odd that on our systems it produces some traffic destined for the map update server itself though rather than just failing completely - it looks very much like a failed encryption handshake.

Thanks for confirming the version that you had though. Timing for the download/install was about the same for me - seemed very slow considering I'm running a full fibre connection from my house.

I tried today your elegant hack (.INI urls sent to an nginx proxy) for my golf7 (2015) with macos 14.1.1 but without success. It looks like VW intentionally modified their website so that discovercare.xml returned invalid data and URL (empty <Size></Size> and <Url>xxxx navigation-maps.volkswagen.com/vw-maps /novalidLink</URL>)
