R-Estate Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Where would I even look mate?Not sure if it’ll be on discovercare (vw) as that’s generally for map updates.

thanksabunch Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Anyone know if I purchase a brand new glovebox unit with same part number as one in there now will it be plug and play or will it need coding to car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will need coding unfortunately, also you need to be wary of what size screen you have as I think if you dont have nav you will have the smallest screen with the glossy black bevel around it, a newer unit will require a bigger one because of the resolutionSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the part number match then yours must be a later 65 plate and an mib2 so hopefully all good if it comes to having to replace it, if the VW reset doesn't work, ask them for a price for a new mib.... and then sit down lolSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk thanksabunch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has engine sound adjustments in individual mode if that helps dictate between mib1/mib2 as I know the earlier mk7 R didn’t have adjustable soundaktor options on screen within individual driving mode! If it needs replacing I’ll have to go down ebay route then find someone to code it in! Issue wasn’t bothering me too much until recently but now it’s really annoying me! Had car nearly 4 years and plan to keep it for many more to come so price to sort it not bothering me too much, just want it sorting and preferably with a brand new unit! see if I can get some goodwill gesture discount off Volkswagen but unlikely as car is APR mapped 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
