Hey just want to report my experience with this install.
Model: 2018 Golf GTI SE NAR
Parts:
5G1 920 891B - display
5G0 857 189B AAH - trim
I also had a straight through fiber cable courtesy of
@bobloblawGTI but actually ended up not using it since I do not have navigation or fender audio. If anyone wants it, I’ll pay it forward with just cost of shipping.

Highly recommended if you can get your hands on a vas5054a obd tool and save the hassle with a dealer bumbling it. Just need a laptop with a usb port and decent internet connection.
Overall, pretty happy with it so far.
Some tips:
When putting the left air vent trim back, the vent may have sagged back into the dash so open the side panel where the fuses are to be able to push it back up and support it while fitting the trim back.
If using torx bits with extensions if you don't have a solid screwdriver set, use some electrical tape to secure the extension so it doesn’t fall into the steering wheel column (ask me how I know).
No need to open glovebox or right side panel if not running fiber to mib.
