I see. Thanks.

Has anyone done this swap on a US market GTI with the 2015 version of the Driver's Assistance Package? As I understand, the DAP got some changes and additional sensors starting in 2016. Just wondering if I have any chance of the sensors still working...
Install new USB/Aux harness: You will have to remove the green connector from the large block connector, from front of connector there is a small keep that needs to be actuated and then connector will slide out. The Media In harness which is the yellow 4 pin connector and green connector is tied to the larger harness. Therefore, rather than remove I just put the new cable in, you can tie the old connectors to cable with tape so they will not rattle. The new harness is difficult to fish from the cubby to the infotainment. I removed the side panel and took a bicycle cable shroud, these work great for fishing cabling. If you don’t have one just go to your local bicycle ship and ask for one they have replaced. House wiring cable is also decent, a clothes hanger is likely not long enough. After removing side panel I started from there and went half way through dash, reached up and pulled down to cubby. Now I could tape USB/Aux yellow and green connectors to my shroud and fish up harness to infotainment unit. Green connector will slide into large connector.
I though ill share my experience with this retro fit. Everything is working great atm, have not ordered app-connect yet as i havent had a chance to go to the dealer yet but the new headunit is sooo much better. Not laggy at all and quite fast.
But ill share my part numbers as my headunit was 100% plug and play not adaptor harness and nothing else needed. only had to change the plastic around the connector for the screen (came with my screen so was just a unclip and put the blue connector on my car) Headunit its self was plug n play as well. Rear cam works as well as BT and nav.
My car came with a Panasonic unit: 5G0 035 846 A Made in Czech Republic
replaced with a Delphi unit: 3Q0 035 846 Made in Portugal
As for the screens car came it: 5G0 919 605 D Made in China
Replaced with: 3G0 919 605 D Made in Czech Republic
My car already had the USB aux plug in the little cubby so that didnt need to be changed.
All my components came from the same 2016 GTI wreck (my car is a dec 2014 MY15), Part numbers are a bit different to you guys (i guess there different frequency radios since im in Australia) or maybe is a different unit bc it had the connections ready for the usb and aux already? idk
But have to say awesome upgrade
This is (hopefully) the last part I'm not sure I get. Which side panel is the OP referring to? Anyone have pictures? And it sounds like the shroud cable was started in through the glove box (is this the side panel on the left of the glove box?), then guided through and pulled out of the cubby (where the usb socket will go). Then tape the cables and fish them in to the glove box. Am I anywhere near what's being communicated above?

As I understand, you can do some coding to have the speakers powered from the headunit instead of the fender amp. I made a diagram of what I imagined what you did, is that correct? If it is, 2 questions:
1. How did you connect the existing speaker wires coming out of the fender amp to the alpine amp? Did you just cut the wires at the fender amp connector then terminate them into the alpine amp or did you do something else?
2. Did you notice a decrease or increase in sound quality going from the “before” step to the “after” step without the DSP
Thanks!
When I did my MIB2 conversion I changed the amplifier. The MIB2 amplifier sounds better than the MIB1 amplifier. The improvement is not subtle.
Later, I decided to purchase new speakers and add DSP and amplifier. I made the software change to headunit, (info for doing here: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29694) got a connector and ran wires to DSP under passenger seat, then more wires to the amplifier under driver’s seat. Power from battery with large inline fuse to amplifier. Ran all new speaker wires and replaced speakers. I did tie into existing wires before door connector and after door connector inside door. The front speakers have dual voice coils so two amplifier channels are used both 2 ohms so I guess you could wire in series and use one channel of amplification, but something to consider. Finding space for crossovers and mounting is also a challenge. I had at least 100 hours of labor into this project. Yes, it sounds great; however, the Fender system always sounds outstanding. It is a commitment and not sure if I can recommend.
Last weekend I got a dead battery. It was from the DSP getting triggered on from some noise (not sure) and then turning amp on. So right now I removed fuse going to unit until I can get it sorted. So right now I am not real happy, but it shouldn’t be too hard to fix.
I was able to sell my MIB1 amplifier which helped with cost of MIB2 amplifier. When I upgraded system I then sold the MIB2 amplifier, fender speakers, and subwoofer.
Lastly, without DSP with external subwoofer control you will lose your subwoofer control that you currently have in headunit.
On your second question, I noticed improvement, but the Focal speakers I put in had a lot to do with that. I first went without a DSP, but needed subwoofer control as I like to change dependent on type of music I am listening to. For DSP I have time delays dialed in which really helps with imaging. I have not done any attenuation at different frequencies, I will dial that in later, but I am pretty happy with the sound now.
Hello everyone I need help I'm replacing my DM1 by a DM2 MIB2 I replace all the hardware I have activation of the component which is activated but I have a problem when I trigger the reverse the rear view camera does not appear on the screen nothing happens on the screen I code the camera with vcds but nothing happens is that normal? is it related to component protection? did anyone have the same problem? thanks in advance
yes I did the coding with the vcds 5F ---> byte19 ---> byte 4Have you coded the infotainment unit so it knows you have an RVC?
yes I did the coding with the vcds 5F ---> byte19 ---> byte 4
I do not see where the problem can come from![]()
no nothing happens on the screen I hear the camera go out but it shows me nothing when I put the mib 1 everything works perfectlyDoes it say "Park Pilot not available" or something along those lines?

I find that I did not know that it took a module to operate the camera with a MIB2
