Can you clarify this?
What kind of head unit/display did you start with and are you going to buy the driving modes?
Did you get the driving mode selection problem fixed? Do they charge you for labor for this stuff?
EDIT:
Do all MIB2 head units have the ability to do navigation or is that a specific model number?
If I want to do a Fender MIB1 to MIB2 upgrade it sounds like I need the ODIS cable, 8 inch screen (what I want to upgrade to), MIB 2 head unit, MIB 2 USB connector (I have MDI), and I could contact Jack to get the copy protection and feature codes installed. Am I missing anything?
Do the navigation ones require an external GPS antenna? Is the navigation even worth it?
I started with the MIB1, 5.8" screen. My car is an SE, so I had the driving modes originally, hopefully can find a way to get them back without buying them, but have not done so yet.
The dealership I went to charged me a 1 hour diagnostic rate to remove CP and install the FeC's. Was a little over $100 with tax, I'd be upset if it cost any more than that.
I'm not positive on this, but the way I understand it is all MIB2 head units are Nav capable, but Nav is an FeC also, and if your car did not have Nav from the factory you can't add it.
As for what equipment you need - yes, you need a 6" or 8" display (and the trim piece if you go 8"), MIB2 head unit, USB connector. Jack has been unresponsive for several weeks, so if you can't get a hold of him to do your retro you will not need the ODIS cable, but you will need a MIB2 amp and you'll have to get your coding done at the dealership. ODIS cables are useless to normal consumers like us because you need to login to a VW account.
Your other options are to have your equipment retro'd by APG or buy a kit from Eurozone tuning. Eurozone was a no-go for me because all their MIB2 kits for MIB1 cars are euro spec, which means no Sirius XM. I'm not sure what APG can provide because they never responded to my email...good luck, let me know if you have any other questions.
