Looks like I am in the market for a T-Roc and I am seeking some information on the MIB 3 media system (Discover 8" MIB3 ) for my research.
Looking over the vehicle I have noticed some differences to the Discover Pro 9.2" I have in my 7.5 Golf, can someone provide any information as the dealer is uneducated in this system.
There appear to be no SD card slots. The old MIB2 system used an SD card for mapping data, does this mean there is no SD card for map data now? I also noticed that the mapping data is different (Australia and New Zealand only maps, not multi region). Details from other regions indicate that the mapping data is updated as required via an e-sim card, is there an e-sim in Australian spec vehicles then?
No SD card now. Mapping is loaded internally. No e-sim, however the system can be connected to any WI-FI network for software updates.
The maps can also be updated via the main VW site using USB thumb drive. There are some posts on the process you can look for on this forum but the MIB3 is not just simply inserting the files in and watching it load.
The digital cockpit display appears not to allow display of maps in while it is displayed in the main screen on the dash unit. Is this correct? Is there any way of displaying maps in both as I like to have the dash display zoomed in to 150/200m and the VC displayed at 400m to give me a better prospective of the surrounding area.
Can only have one OEM display at a time. Found coding to turn off the digital cockpit display but that is no use. Will keep researching this as there are users in Europe activating this.
Update - Found the issue here, the Discover unit does not have the same computing power as the Discover Pro to allow the mapping images to be displayed both in the VC and main screen at the same time. The European users were using Discover Pro versions.
Does AA/carplay navigation allow display of their maps in the dash and VW mapping in the VC at the same time?
Yes it does
Does the map display 3D buildings?
No 3D buildings yet
Is voice control, the VW one, active?
VW voice control is not active, however on Android Auto "hey Google" works
Has anyone activated TMC traffic info yet? Suna Australia TMC code 1024.
No luck here. It appears traffic in via online traffic not the Suna FM code as before
Will be fitting a dash cam which uses the 12v cigarette lighter socket to give power only when the ignition is on, noticed the only cigarette lighter socket is in front of the gear selector which is not really suitable. So looking to use the USB C sockets in the rear centre console. Are these USB C sockets powered on with the ignition or is there power for a while after shut down?
USB C sockets (all 4 for them) power off when ignition is off. Working well with dash cam
