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

<< < (29/30) > >>

holepunch:
I'd be really interested in your dedicated post on this upgrade as it's something I'd like to undertake to refresh my 06 GTI.

If you get chance could you cover, part numbers, coding issues, purchase price\location?

Thanks in advance.

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

But I’ll do a brand new post with lots more details of requirements and suppliers and link it here to help future owners.

@holepunch OK, I’ll try and get a post put up this week and link it from here.

I’m loving the Discover Media… Apple CarPlay (bringing Siri activated from steering wheel, Google maps and superior iPhone integration), the Radio logos, the speed of the interface, the album art… all a massive step up from an RNS 510 and is my favourite retrofit by far.

Murderous972:
There is something new about the navigation issue?

DrG_GTi:
Any news on a dedicated post @Stupots

Stupots:
Ah, my apologies, I’ll dig through some pics and knock something up. 👍
