Ooh, this is useful info, thanks.
My knowledge of satellites would be limited sorry. Could you explain what you mean when you say you receive 9/12 satellite locks?
Is yours an aftermarket Fakra connector as you mentioned previously?
Thanks.
Perfect, thanks for explaining.
Can you let me know your particular setup? Which navigation system on which car etc. looks like a MK7 1.6 TDI from your avatar info?
Thanks for the reply.
That is the thing I'm not sure about - whether or not the car has a GPS antenna. I'm assuming it doesn't as it doesn't have navigation. If it does for some reason then it should be plug and play. I have VCDS so can code it. I can get the component protection sorted too.
I haven't removed the main unit in the car to double check but looking at pictures online of the rear of the main unit of a composition media system (part number 5G0035819A) there are no blue colored connections...
Oh dear, and things were looking so positive...
You know for a fact that a MIB1 Discover Navigation (main unit and screen) system retrofitted into a car with MIB1 Composition Media will not work, or at least the navigation part will not work as it cannot be activated?
...and we are back on road positive.
I think I am going to pick up an antenna and give it a try anyway. Not sure why the Discover Pro would work and the Discover Navigation would not
I think they're awfully mistaken; as long as the hardware is hacked to bypass Component Protection, it'll all work just fine.
Why would he want to hack it? isnt it easier just to go to the dealership and get it removed?

Ah, there is a Discover Nav system for sale locally for not a lot of money so it suits. A new or even second hand Discover Pro system would be far more expensive I would imagine but I haven't actually priced it up now that you mention it so I will do this.
If you didn't have Navigation as standard, then you can't enable Navigation on retrofitted hardware. Once the dealer removes the CP, ODIS will automatically correct the FeC's to those that are correct for that VIN as given by the Mothership.
It needs to be hacked.
Oh Ok, I understand, but i saw it is possible to let the dealers install FeCs for you, like driving mods etc... Isnt Nav one of them?
