dealership cannot activate app connect.
Thanks. What about my questions on the nav and part number compatability?
I have never heard that Discover Pro unit shows more icons on the display, consensus seems to be both screens have the same resolution. In any case if prices are similar get the larger screen... Makes everything easier to see but more importantly makes it easier to use the on-screen keyboard for built-in navigation/CarPlay/AndroidAuto. I think those of us that upgraded from the 6.5 to the 8 feel it was worth it. Even more so this is your initial purchase.If you get a non Pro unit get the 6.5 display. If you get a pro unit get an 8 inch display. They can work either way but the pro unit has more items displayed to work better with the larger screen. I'm not sure your current maps SD card will work on the new unit however.
I have no idea why you would do that and not instead just put the MIB1 head and screen back in.I was aware that the dealership had not been successful with NAV and CarPlay. Main reason I took it in was to remove the CP and enable Bluetooth while I wait for the VAS cable from China (for Jack to do the activation). While I was there they asked if they can try to do the remaining items, but no luck. Kept hoping they would be able to figure it out. Long story short, Jack is the way to go!

I’ve been lurking around this thread for a while—thanks for all the great info here. I have a couple of questions before I finish buying parts (sorry if they were previously answered):I just installed “3Q0035876” on my ‘15 GTI. I also had NAV and fender in my car. I personally bought a new AMP, which some people here say it’s no longer needed as you can simply code the existing amp. I also bought a version 4 map SD card on eBay for about $30. All that said, I had Jack do the activation for CarPlay and NAV earlier this month and couldn’t be happier with the turnout.
Note: I spent a good amount of money trying to get the dealer to do the activation and none of that worked. They were only able to remove CP and enable Bluetooth and sound. I suggest save your money and get in touch with Jack.
1. Yes, it will workI’ve been lurking around this thread for a while—thanks for all the great info here. I have a couple of questions before I finish buying parts (sorry if they were previously answered):
1. Can Jack enable NAV in a 2015 SEL (it currently has factory NAV) assuming I buy a MIB2 unit with NAV (3Q0035876). I didn't think this was possible until Rmzhrb said he had this done recently.
2. My vehicle has Fender audio and I don't have experience with VCDS—can Jack perform the coding to use the existing MIB1 amp?
3. Do I need the donor VIN for just the glovebox unit or do I also need it for the screen?
Yes OBDeleven will work greatGreat, thank you!
I guess I'll learn to do some coding. Is it doable with OBDEleven?
