Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Weird MFI symbols

    I installed a 9w7 in my 2009 Jetta today. The module is a 7P6035730E
    All went well except for one of the microphone cable crimps separating from the wire. Getting the pins out to re-crimp is a pain. I inserted slivers of chopstick wood on each side of the pin to extract it.

    After performing the coding I checked the Bluetooth on the display and found it to be a bit different to my 2011 Jetta.
    It's showing squares on either side of the Bluetooth symbol instead of the battery and iPod symbols, and the formatting goes wonky when the Bluetooth is 'made visible'.

    Is this just an generational thing where this dash preceded the options I've added, or have I done something wrong?

    Cheers.

    What year is the 9W7 module? If it's newer than your cluster might explain it hence it'd be a software version issue.

    What's the software version on your cluster?

      That makes sense.

      Instrument cluster is : Part No SW: 5M0 920 870 C HW: 5M0 920 870 C
      Bluetooth unit is: Part No SW: 7P6 035 730 E HW: 7P6 035 730 E - end of June 2011 I believe (26/11)

      I wonder if swapping the Bluetooth unit for the the one from my '11 Jetta would make any difference.
      That's : Part No SW: 5K0 035 730 B HW: 5K0 035 730 B

      If only I'd stuck it under the seat instead of behind the HVAC controls...

        My old cluster would never show the icon for USB-sourced devices; it would show the same little square box.
        I was messing around, and I updated the firmware on the cluster, it added the missing USB icon; Not something I would recommend doing, by the way. You can probably safely ignore the missing icons, and it will work with the other functions
