Hello people,

i have read a whole thread but could not find answer for my problem.
I have replaced an 5G0035867 MIB Entry Radio with Q0035846 MIB2 Std + 5G6919605A
I have removed and CP but from beginning unit act like here on video https://streamable.com/p7h8gp
here as a complete scan https://pastebin.com/RfwKc2FN

5F unit reports an 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management which is not present on this scan (don't know why but I can repeat it) and 5F unit doesn't allow any coding - it says that is out of range for any value.

No SD card is present, unit's come from same donor car Tiguan (working condition as the owner of car waste has told).


Do i need any flash upgrade or ?
Any help please.

Regards

Hi everyone
I own a Canadian 2015 MK7 GTI with MIB1 Nav/Fender audio and am interested in looking into how to upgrade to MIB2 for Android Auto

Where is the best place for me to look for an MIB2 unit in Canada? How can I tell the exact parts that I need?

Check your local scrap yards or check here in the US, many scrap yards now ship. I got mine though car-part.com from a totaled 2016. Jack activated and has been (nearly) flawless for the past year or so. Carplay is a game changer if you have a lot of ass time in the drivers seat.

Has anyone had issues with their microphone? Have a 5GD035280B but the Mic doesn’t pick up anything through CarPlay or BT Audio :(. Any ideas? I have access to a VCDS cable.

Hi Everyone, I'm in the process of doing my own MIB2 Discover Pro retrofit on my Canadian 15' GTI PP Autobahn. Still waiting for the head unit but gone ahead with installing the Aux/USB input. I'm trying to find two things,

1. Does anybody have the wiring diagram (pinout diagram) for the 8E0 972 416 A/1534101-1 16-pin connector in an attempt to reuse the existing quadlock wiring for the MDI harness ran to the cubby?
2. Part number for a two pin socket that will fit the same crimp terminals used in the above connector and fit on two pin portion of the green socket of the Aux/USB port.
Edit: attempt #1, purchased part 4B0 972 623 and going to shave off edges until it fits...

So the Aux/USB kit I bought from AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32895543127.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dA6q4xK) ran the required two pins to a 2 pin Dupont type socket. Those use smaller crimp terminals.

The crimp terminals in used in the factory MDI connector has a blade for correct insertion direction. The connector would need an extra slot to accommodate this (see image below bottom right corner)

Worst case is that I just tape around the existing crimp terminal and shove it straight into the Aux/USB pins directly.

Oh in case anyone asks, I'm avoiding pulling the cables supplied in the aliexpress kit just because the wire gauge used is garbage and would like to reuse the wiring installed at factory.

You mention the Fender system, is that the sound system upgrade VW chose for the Golf in the US?

The reason I ask, I’ve only ever seen that installed in a VW Up! - my 2013 GTD has the Dynaudio upgrade, will this work with it also?

I just put in my MIB2 discover pro head unit and cannot get sound and need to determine if it is CP or the MIB1 fender amp. It is supposed to be a Hacked unit for plug and play using Part # 3G0035047B HW:H042 SW:0703.

I've tried to do the Dynaudio edit to Module 47 (byte 00, 22-->12) but that did not result in any noticeable change. One thing I did notice is that the 3G0035047 has Green Engineering Menu version GEM 4.5st and it does NOT have the option for Diagnosis for the next 10 boot-ups. All the other videos and pictures that have mentioned how to get MIB1 fender amp to work have GEM 3.6 or lower.

Seller is saying that MIB1 fender amp won't work with this unit and it is looking that way but wanted to confirm if anyone who has done the coding tweak did so with the NAR discover pro head unit?

MIB1 coding for 5F: 027300020000000021220002001800001F0203340100010546
MIB2 coding for 5F: 027300020000000051220002001828001F0103B401208105DE

Optical out set to active (same as when I had MIB1)
sound output set to MOST (same as when I had MIB1)

MIB1 coding for 47: 22000000AAAAAA0000
MIB2 coding for 47: 12000000AAAAAA0000

No sound at all, volume bar just says solid as I turn the dial. Get the faults:

B201A00 - Checking Software Version Management
U110100 - Component Protection Active
B126CF2 - Navigation System (intermittent)
U11B800 - Interface for external media (EDIT: I still need to do the XOR C9D2 per southpawboston instructions)
U10CC00 - Optical Data bus for Digital Sound System
U111100 x 4

I understand that the CP faults could also be due to how a hacked unit is patched to spoof a car's VIN (https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/25021/), is there any way to confirm which situation I am in?

As it is, navigation works, the think blue available, sport/performance monitor available. AA, carplay TBD as I'm waiting to get the USB 5V wiring sorted out (just using the green connector alone the usb does not detect any device connected to the USB port currently).

If I do have to get the MIB2 amp, I assume it is as per other retrofit threads, buy a used amp, get CP on the amp removed, good to go?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have done many coding of units for members here.
We have never replaced MIB1 amps.
There is not a chance somebody can code unit to be plug and play without the car.
Its bullshit.
