Hello,

I lost the SD card that I was using with a Scenic 3, from 2009/2018.

How can I make a new one and update it?

Thank you for your help

Hi

I don't see how we can lose it, but anyway, let's move on

You insert an SD card into the GPS, it will prepare it for you

Then, on your PC, you go to the TomTom website and download the data related to your car and its GPS

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

This is my old vehicle given to my grandson, and .......

I will pick up the car on Sunday, and I will carry out the operation.

I will keep you updated.

Hello,

It says card not found.

To clarify, it's a Scenic 3, not a GPS.

Hello,

Whether it's integrated into the car or not, it's still a GPS.

Either we buy a ready-made map from Renault if they still have it, which is expensive (it would be cheaper to buy, for example, a Garmin Drive Smart 55 or 61 if we can still find one), or we create it ourselves, but we still need a PC with an SD card reader and purchase the mapping online.

The situation is even more complicated since there can be several different GPS models in the range; here for a Carminat, we should be able to find an equivalent procedure for the other models on Renault forums:

or by searching for something like "sd card tomtom scenic 3"

Hello,

Thank you for this information.

I seem to be stuck with incompatible SD cards, so I will look into that tomorrow.

Hello,

After several attempts with SD cards, I finally managed to purchase the France map, but it remains a mystery to me since they were all refused at first.

How can I make a copy onto a second SD card, just in case, by copying or restoring?

Thank you for your help.

I don't know, it depends on the system.

On Garmin GPS, it's not SD cards but USB drives, and you can't download the maps unless you've previously initialized the drive in the car.

This means you can always copy the contents of that download or drive to a PC, but only one drive can be functional at a time, and creating a second one involves initializing and thus formatting it, with no certainty that you can later copy the backed-up system files, maps, and additional files (sounds, languages...) to it afterwards, maybe you can.

Hi

After initializing it in the car reader, you "simply" copy the files from the working card to the new card using a PC equipped with an SD card reader.

That's what I've been doing from the start with my Laguna 3.
