Yes, you would need a new glove box unit and possibly a GPS antenna. After you install your nav unit the dealer should be able re-enable everything except nav. For that you will need to have one of the people offering remote activation help you out. You can check some of the recent threads in this section to find someone. Depending on your dealer, it may be easier to have all your functions (the ones that came with your car and your added nav) activated remotely.

Hello Guys, I am going to post some tips for the instalation to show you how siple it is. There are four small holders in the back of the screen. you just have to insert a small screw driver or spetial key and press it from inside out. Once it is unlocked, just pull out. To remove the old screen , it works exacly the same. here is a picture for better explanation.

I just read that the APP function does not work with 2016 models, is this for both with and without Factory NAV? I'm looking at this upgrade for a 2016 Golf R w/NAV, but I would need the app function to work.
thank you for your time

All the information comes from the brain / infotainment . If the brain has Navigation, the maps will work whether APP or NAV. The screen only reproduces information from the brain. It works same as a computer, if you have "windowns" installed in the brain of your computer, you will see windowns in the display... something like that
