Hi All,
I have been looking at the possibility of upgrading my MIB1 (5F0035858A), 040, Software 0425 with a MIB 2 unit.
My existing MIB 1 has NAV, SEATSOUND, DAB, VOICE, CUPRA DRIVING MODE SELECTION, Parking pilot. I need all these to continue to work.
I want the BIG 8" display (5F0919606)
I am looking into the pro and cons of either the Harman 5F0035020 or the 5F0035043. Former is much more expensive. Why?
- I understand that both the screen and the UNIT will require component protection removing, whatever unit I buy. This can only be done at a main dealer?
- I think that 5F0035020 is required if a Virtual Cockpit retrofit is wanted later on?
- I don't understand exactly why units need to be hacked? - Is this to enable features? If so, if a unit comes from a car with everything enabled already in my existing car, does it still need hacking?
- To what extent can features be enabled via VCDS?
Any info gratefully received! Especially from those who have already swapped to MIB2
