VW Golf MK7 (5G) MIB2 grid layout menu activation

How to enable #facelift grid menu in MIB2 #VW Media infotainment system. If you are running facelift firmware, you can switch between old and new #skin from the hidden menu. New skin was designed for newer larger 8 inch glass displays. Other than menu, you can also notice smaller fonts, 6 radio presets, 6 favorite contacts in phone. You can switch between skins from the hidden menu which is accessible if you have the developer mode enabled.
ℹ️ For Technisat/Preh unit you need firmware from the 04xx family. Latest one is P0480T.
ℹ️ The same procedure will apply to other Volkswagen vehicles with MIB2 system: Polo, Passat, Arteon, Crafter, Tiguan, Touran.

I actually have an 8" glass screen that I swapped in when I did the MIB2 upgrade on my 2015 Golf TDI. I went and checked and sure enough, I had the setting for the 8". I now have the grid view. Thanks!

[@tomd-k830]

If you don´t want to enable the Skin for the 8" Screens, you can also enable "UserSwitchableMenuMode" with MIB2STDToolbox under customization -> skins.

[@mrfixpl]

I almost forgot about that. Thanks!

[@stefanocavy6500]

Hi, is there a solution to have this skin putting "something somewhere"? The last change I need for my car is the grid style, but mine shows only 2 skins, std and sport. Thank you.

Hey, whats the difference between the blue underlined patterns and the patterns with different colors? Is this MIB2.5 in the video?

[@user-lv1op6kt4f]

bonjour, How did you get vw_std8_skin_a on your unit ? it is not present on my MST2_EU_VW_PQ_P0478T (I have just the first one) Thank you for your help

[@SepulRise]

Hi, I have the dev. mode activated, but when I go to Skin Style menu, I only have 2 skin options and none of them is the STD8 style. How can I add more styles into this menu? Thanks

[@bsb5357]

Hello, wondering if anyone can help me here! I’ve been looking to upgrade my unit from mib1 with small screen up to an mib2 with the 6.5” screen. As my car hasn’t got nav on it currently, I understand I need an attachment gps to my unit. Which mib2 unit do I need to allow Waze, Apple Maps, etc, to work on my unit. Does it need to be a discover media, pro or any other? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have a blue accent menu skin on 3Q0035874A sw 0633 mib2 std unit?

Hello, how do i get the facelift firmware? I have a MIB_STD2 unit. Thanks

[@stefanomangiarotti6311]

Greetings. In the Skyn Style menu the VW_STD8_Skin_A discover pro item does not appear. How can I enable it?

[@claudiu1178]

please tell me, with firmware is the latest one for my version to can activate this? MST2_EU_VW_P0231D

[@jonvarga5569]

I recently moved from PO631 PO635 and was able to get the 4 skins you showed on your HMI screen. My question is all of my skins are red. Is this because byte 18 is set to 03 (GTI)? Does the splash screen affect the skin colors? If not, how do you get different color skins on a MIB2 STD PO635?

[@Far-Lands]

How can I get the 8 inch skins ? They are not available on mine... ? Can I download them from somewhere ?

[@giraykamilkaya]

Can we change the blue theme to red theme? I own a polo which has a red theme originally. But I changed my multimedia with one from a Golf for Apple CarPlay feature but now it has blue theme :(

Dear Mr. Fix. Your content ist great. Can you make a video on how to update to a higher software train e.g from P0231 to P03xx

[@mrfixpl]

Since my unit is already upgraded, I can make a video with just some general tips for 02xx to 04xx conversion. Not a step-by-step tutorial.

Hi do you know if you can put a vw tiguan infotainment system into vw golf mk 7.

[@mrfixpl]

Yes, but installing the head unit in another vehicle will trigger component protection.

I've the MIB2 8 inch Nav Pro unit - do you know if selecting the STD8 skin will decrease font size as well or would mine already be running the smaller size? I'm not sure the trade off is worth it if everything gets smaller as a result.

[@madern7]

Discover pro is only 9.2 inch.

[@mrfixpl]

Discover PRO MIB1 and MIB2 G11 were both with 8 inch display. 9.2 is for MIB2 G13 only.

[@Casanova2k_]

Is the 6.5” screen compatible for CarPlay?

[@mrfixpl]

yes.

[@carbongecko]

Great video, if I only have std and std_sport, do I need mib2 discovery pro to have those extra options? I have a mib2 standard non nav

[@radiator1979]

I have mib1 and there are avaiable only 2 sets of skins. So an upgrade to mib2 I ya want to have more functionality. That'd be my guess.
