I have been trying to update my Columbus satnav on my 2016 Superb mkIII, which require a 32bg SD card formatted to FAT32 and 4096 allocation size.  I have spent significant money on 2 different cards and a flash drive none of which permit me to format to 4096 byte size.  I am questioning whether it is still possible to obtain such a thing. 

Anyone else had this problem?

It's impossible to format 32gb cards to 4k cluster size with fat32 using windows. That's just Skoda software/website team being anal and not checking what they write.

 

Format it FAT32 default allocation size (which is 16k). Works.

 

Just done this and I would say make sure you have formated and erased the card using Windows and not the downloader tool when it offers.

Before I reformatted the downloader tool would get stuck at aIbania. Using Windows I went for default allocation ext fat and it worked fine. 

I don't think many people would like to get stuck at Albania

Been there, just flies, dust and beggers!

If you've got a big enough usb pen drive you can use that as well, I do.

I have tried three different 32Gb devices now and with all it says the file is too large for destination drive???

Is your card an eBay fake 32gb card?

 

Make sure you format your card first.

 

Use http://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-GB

 

The download manager should take care of everything.

 

Don't use unofficial links or zips.

 

64gb cards work too apparently but I haven't checked, they would need exfat formatting.
