Discover Media retrofit

[kamold]

Hi MIG,

Is it possible that the firmware in the cluster becomes corrupted to cause this clock fault?

I installed a composition media in my 2015 Amarok, it worked flawlessly until a couple of weeks ago when the clock sync issue surfaced.

It’s very curious, as reading the CAN signals sent to the headunit shows that it is receiving the correct time from the cluster.

I’ve read that people advise that the firmware needs to be updated, but I’m not sure how this would resolve the issue in my case.

Cheers,
MCL

You need to change a single byte in the cluster eeprom: at address 0x22 set to 0x00. Then reboot MIB.
Time should then be read OK.

Hello Kamold,

I have installed a lowline RVC camera, a very basic model, and it works with no issue with MIB STD2 PQ.
(my car is a Passat B7).

Then, I installed a Highline RVC and connected it to my MIB STD2 PQ car radio.
The 6C module (RVC highline) does not respond , and I get this fault from 5F module :


7179 - Function Restricted due to Missing Message(s)
U1111 00 [009] - -
[New feature! Extended UDS fault detail is only supported by current gen. interfaces]
Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00000001
Fault Priority: 6
Fault Frequency: 1
Reset counter: 39
Mileage: 346406 km
Date: 2003.14.14
Time: 04:01:07

Voltage terminal 30: 11.6 V
BAP-BAP_Function_ID: 02


Kamold, could you please confirm that the LowLine RVC "2GD 827 469 B" is compatible with MID STD2 PQ, without additional hardware such as the RVC module ?

Any lowline RVC will be compatible with MIB STD2 PQ ?


Thank you

You can't use a highline MQB camera. If you want highline you need to use a 7N0 Sharan/Tiguan module and 8v camera.

Otherwise lowline MQB camera is fine.

In addition to the above, I tested with the original RNS-315 that came with the vehicle and the clock sync’s as expected.

That's an aftermarket one, yes will work.

OEM lowline is 2GD 827 469 B

'How hard' is a very relative question...it's straight forward and well understood. If you're handy with tools including wiring and coding with VCDS/OBD11 then it's a straight forward retrofit.
Need to remove trim for the boot, along the sills and then up behind the dash to get to behind the head unit as well as power and ground, and trigger to reverse light.
You can use factory lowline flip badge 2GD camera from T-Roc which will give you static image.

If you want dynamic (moving guidelines) then your best bet is an aftermarket canbus flip badge camera.

You can't use an MQB highline camera unfortunately. They use different CAN messaging.

thank you for the reply and for the good info you provided.
you mentioned i could use a low line camera; do you know by any chance the part # of that camera/badge assembly??

also would something like this work by any chance??

Flip badge camera Dynamic parking line Golf6/7 GTI Polo EOS Beetle PassatCC RCD330 plus | RCD330 Plus | RCD340G

thanks again in advance

Hey there you gurus,

In the spring I will install a Mib STD2 PQ +nav in my ’13 golf R and I have a question for the guru’s on this site. My car did not come originally with rear view camera, so how hard is it to install one??

I know that I’ll have to get a new rear emblem flip up mechanism with a camera built in, but what else is needed?? Obviously I’ll need the wiring to go from the camera to the front head unit, but what else?? Do I need any sensors or additional wiring as my car did NOT come with a RVC from the factory, possibly a new BL or BC gateway…etc, etc….

Also I wouldn’t mind getting the HIGH RES one with the moving yellow lines when the steering wheel is turned….SO IS IT A LOT OF WORK to get that accomplished??

and will one from a newer gti (2015-2019) work on my platform and with the MIB2 radio by any chance??? one that has part # 5gm 827 469 J


if NOT which one should i buy??

Thanks in advance.

what's everyone using for wireless adaptor with these MIB2 pq discovery units??? instead of having the cable plugged to your phone everytime one wants to use carplay

links, prices as well as performance about them much appreciated.

[RBmk6R]

has anybody replaced their digitizer screen on your headunit for not being as responsive to touch?
only asking as i've got two types for mine (clear and smoked one as they were cheap on aliexpress) and don't know which one to use to have less glare...

thanks

That worked thanks kamold
the 2022 map was v17.

[kamold]

Not sure if there will be another update. There should be.
It does appear that all the maps for ALL navigation systems including MIB3 show latest maps as 11/21/2022. Not sure what VW are doing there.
2024 maps are available to download here:

I've had a problem with my MIB2 for the last few weeks. During the day it dims (night mode) and when it's dark the screen brightens. I've seen a few other entries on the web about it suggesting to do a reset (done that) or it will just resolve itself eventually. Any one else experienced it and how did you fix it?
