I was wondering if anyone has put the Euro spec 9.2" display in their US spec MK7 Golf. I've searched and haven't been able to find the info I'm looking for. Thanks for any help!

I have 9,2 display in my car NAR specs, with this part number
5G6919606

My car has installed a Discover Pro, the display not works on Discover Media.

It looks like you can get an activated Discover Pro with screen for less than $900 on eBay.

Doesn't seem that bad. Anything else you had to do for the retrofit?

Most Discover Pro Activates that sell on Ebay have specifications for Europe (DAB and not SiriusXM) but some with NAR maps installed, it is very difficult to get the versions for USA and Canada with SiriusXM,
If SiriusXM doesn't matter, the price is not bad.

Nope. SiriusXM doesn't matter. Hell, navigation doesn't matter either. If I'm in my car, my phone is plugged in and I'm using Android Auto.

No volume knob? Easy pass.

Volume knob? What's that? People use something other than the steering wheel controls?

The great advantage of a Discover Pro in addition to the large 9.2 screen are the 3D maps, the internal hard drive to store 3000 songs, it has a DVD drive, if you buy an unlocked drive, on eBay it may be a bit of coding to stop it from working to 100%

By lightly pressing the power button, you can mute the music, other functions are intuitive.

Yep. MANY people. No volume/tuning(scrolling) knobs, and I'm out too.

But then how do you stop the volume knob power symbol from not being aligned perfectly up?

The Rabbit requires swapping more than the screen. You have to swap a MIB2\MIB2.5 unit as well. And that depends on what you buy. You can get activated units that are good to go.
