Retrofit of Discover Media/ Composition Media head units to a Mk5/ Mk6 Golf

My car :D
You need adapter wiring harness which is supplied with radio.
Depending on age of your car, it's not always straight forward, I had to upgrade other things too.

Last Saturday I successfully retrofitted Discover Media unit into Ady's 2005 Golf MK5. Some of you probably see it already but there are the pics:
Unfortunately we didnt have time to play with it yet and just fitted it to see how it goes. All will be finished this Saturday so more pics to follow. All works fine on White or Colour clocks so far.
Regards
Newbie here so sorry if this doesn’t read right.
How did you manage to plug the harness into the media unit as noticed that the blink connectors are slightly different. I’ve been trying to find an adapter but not luck. Is there one that you used that you could link me too please?
Many thanks

sorry to dig this thread up again - was wondering if this unit would fit in a MK6? or does it have the same issues as the mk5? mines a 2009 GTD
ady-uk:
Should be fine in a mk6
Still need one with cp disabled and other bits enabled, before you buy.
Usual disclaimer, if it doesn't work, don't have a go at me! :party:

Hi Guys,
New here so go easy!
I am currently doing an install with one of these discover mib2 media units on a 2005 Vw Transporter which unfortunately doesn't have the luxury of upgrading the can gateway as Golfs as it's in the dash cluster, it ran an RNS510 perfectly but have noticed the map,navigation issue as described in this forum. I saw that a few of you have successfully installed these with the early Mk5's
If you don't mind me asking what was the conclusion with regards the lacking speed signals for the nav to work correctly? pab567 was working on a bolt on module solution, I am unable to find anything further to assist including the T5 forums?
Many Thanks

Just adding to this thread because it appears to be the main/only one on this forum discussing Discover Media retrofitting.
In the last 18 months this became a whole lot easier, as rather than the original hardware modification and CAN blocker to DISABLE Component Protection (that could potentially get re-enabled) they have now developed a Software mod that completely REMOVES Component Protection.
It means that for some Mk5 owners and most Mk6 owners, these can be plug and play with just a £10 Quadlock adapter (with supported ABS controller and CAN gateway).
I fitted mine yesterday, and posted here
https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30806.msg1148479.html#msg1148479
But I’ll do a brand new post with lots more details of requirements and suppliers and link it here to help future owners.
