Retrofit of Discover Media/ Composition Media head units to a Mk5/ Mk6 Golf
J400uk:
Noticed today on the facelift Sharan (Boring...) that it appears to be fitted with next generation Mk7-style head units. What's interesting is unlike in the new Polo and Golf, they are now the same shape and size as the older Mk5/ Mk6 units (RNS 510 etc). So that got me thinking if its one unit without the extra bit in the glovebox, could it be a retrofit possibility?
Can't find many details apart from this excerpt in the press release:
The Sharan is one of the first Volkswagen vehicles to be equipped with "App Connect"; thanks to MirrorLinkTM, Android Auto (Google) and Car Play (Apple), a wide variety of apps can be fed into the new infotainment systems. The systems are also impressive due to their fast processors (optimised boot-up, quick route calculation, optimal touchscreen performance) and high-resolution displays
Apple Car Play would be very cool indeed! :drool:

Really interesting this! Good spot :happy2:
Pretty sure we will be able to plug this in and get it working, possibly different story when it comes to getting display working in highline clocks and steering buttons working.
Well worth a punt ££ dependant
Eddie-NL:

Saw one in a skoda yeti the other day, it was an optional upgrade on the columbus (RNS510)

Sorry Eddy,
So these RNS units can work in our cars?
Anything needed to get it working or just plug and play?

Oh right I hadn't seen it in any Skodas. Since my earlier post I've found out VW are using the Composition/ Discover naming for these:
The Sharan also gets the second generation modular infotainment platform, available with either the 5-inch “Composition Colour” system or the 6.5-inch systems “Composition Media” or “Discover Media” (with navigation). MirrorLink, CarPlay (Apple), and Android Auto (Google) are offered as options.
