In this video, I swap out the old 6.5" Stock head unit to the new 8" Discover found in the new VW models. (2018 and newer). For those who are interested, this is a plug and play modification that is straight forward swap IF you have a 2016 and newer GTI / Golf R. If you have a 2015 Golf, you have the older MIB 1 and need to retrofit the MIB 2 inside your glovebox as well.

Thank you very much for this video! I have a 17' VW Golf R, and the screen was honestly my only complaint. I order the screen and bezel from my local VW dealer and had it in 1 day. I followed the video in detail and had the new unit in and completed in 20 mins. The one thing I did differently was I didn't disconnect the battery, and I had zero faults. CHEERS!

Fantastic demonstration of how to get out the media screen. My Discover Pro was switching on and off with every bump and the dealer wanted to take apart the entire dash to find the problem. Turns out the main connector on the back of the screen was just loose (which the dealer assured me was NOT the problem . . . because they checked).

What year is the R? And did you swap the bezel or is it the same bezel around it?

I have a 2017. You will also need a new bezel to fit the new dimensions of the larger unit.

I think you should go for it, if you want the bigger unit. It can be intimidating, but the codes clear as soon as you go for a drive.

Do you think this would be possible on a golf mk7 gte, literally to swap it over. It currently a Discover Pro MIB2 fitted. But my concern is the car menu where you can veiw the hybrid part of the information. Does it need to from a gte? Hopefully that makes sense.
@ilimit
@ilimit 3 жыл бұрын
I believe so. There's a really good chance it is just plug and play - and whichever button you have to select hybrid functions - I think one of the buttons on the face plate will go ahead and access the information. However it won't be specifically marked hybrid, obviously. I wish you could luck in your search!

@ilimit

Since I have a 2017 vehicle in the states, I can just swap the face (display only). Any 2016+ GTI/R in the US should already have the MIB2 brains from factory. So for that, it is a plug and play solution (as show in this video). However if you have a 2015 GTI/R - you will need to also swap your MIB1 to MIB 2 which is found inside your glovebox, and that is more involved.
