MK7.5 Digital Cockpit retrofit

[IWMTom]

I forgot to ask before, beacuse i have allready one optical cable that is original connected to the AID, does this one need to be connected somewhere or somehow?
I need to remove it to connect the other optical from the unit.
Or do i just disconnect it and let it hang there.

Have you got Dynaudio? You need a splitter. This information is well documented already

No its the normal sound system, ye i saw that i need VCP do get the correct soundfiles.

I'm confused - why is there a spare MOST cable???

When i got the Mib unit they told me i need a separate most cable, now i relized that i allready have it built in on my car with my AID unit

So you already had a MOST connection between the MIB and AID but bought a second MOST cable?

Fair enough!

Now the on

Ly thing is to find someone who works with VCP or Odis online to change the sound files

Sound files for what?

Sound files for what?

My speaker quality is really bad compared to my oem mib, the quality sux on the sound/music

Also do you know if i can put the speed limit signs on the AID, like i have on the Navi unit.
The one on the top left corner?

What did you have previously?

No, you can't. Not without a front camera.

No.

New rules came into force a few weeks ago. All used clusters looking to be programmed must now receive preauthorisation from VAG.

ODIS will prompt the user to fill out a form and send it via email to VAG head office. Once reviewed and approved by a human (can take a while - up to 48 hours) ODIS will permit the change like normal.

If VAG disagree with what you're doing and deny the request, IMMO cannot be programmed.

Only authorised repairers with legit ODIS access can now program used clusters. The new process stops all of the people using China accounts.

Does anyone here know a dealer/tech (preferably in the Northeast) who's done this at least once?

Willing to take the risk on a used cluster even if VAG deny - for my car a used cluster is $250, new >$1800

Thanks

If you get a used cluster get one with mileage lower than your actual mileage. AZ far as I know you cannot change the mileage yet. But you can raise the mileage. There is a tool floating on the internet for that.

Mileage seems to be possible w the bench tool, few people can/have done it.

Big Q is what's the probability that dealer can remove CP and code the immobilizer w the new approval procedure? ~$300 of labor
