Obviously VW got a big batch of FUBAR MIB2 units recently. Nobody was reporting this with '16's, but it's becoming epidemic on '17's.
Can someone with the nav problem post up their part number? It's in the info display. I want to look up who the OEM is, curious if it's different than on my '16 (TechniSat was the OEM, made in Germany).
Maybe see if the dealer can find the old part number without the "A"? Might still be lurking around if they just look for it. And apparently a better unit too. Delphi sucks in general!
Adding on to the pile...
I have a 2017 GTI Autobahn (DSG), picked it up from the dealership 2 1/2 weeks ago with 10 miles on it. About a week ago, I noticed the following symptoms:
- Compass shows "--" instead of a direction
- Nav screen shows spinning wheel trying to read the SD card
- Infotainment screen eventually freezes and I’m unable to adjust volume
- After about a minute of screen freeze, the infotainment system reboots
Interestingly, if I remove the Nav SD card from the SD slot, everything but Nav works just fine.
Brought it to the dealership this morning, and they said they need to install a new 5F module (which they’ll have in stock in a couple days, knock on wood).
Thankfully CarPlay works just fine when I remove the Nav SD card, so I can just use the iPhone’s nav.
Same exact issue on my month old (at the time) 17 R. Took it to the dealer yesterday and determined it is the 5F module. Part is in order and will have it replaced next Monday. Let's hope it works.
You might want to call the dealership the day before your appointment to confirm that they have the part. I was supposed to have my new 5F module installed last Friday, but Ironray's post about his 5F being on back order prompted me to phone my dealership the day before my appointment. Turns out they didn't receive the 5F, and they said they'd call me when it turned up (which has yet to happen).
