UPDATE 5/18: Emailed them Friday about the lines and homie said that's absolutely NOT what they send out normally so they're sending me another.. will make a follow-up video! UPDATE TO THE UPDATE 5/19: Replacement screen is WAY BETTER. Cant even tell that its messed up at all really. One thin line of messed up pixels that you cant even see from the drivers seat angle! IM SO HAPPY
I actually got a bad one as well from them about a month ago. I complained about it and they had an extra one that had the same thing. Which is the one you just bought. But yeah they did the same thing, they’re sending me a new one as well.
Yeah I was expecting 1 or 2 of those rainbow 🌈 vertical pixel lines not a 1/4 of the screen! Good luck on the next one they send. That’s good of them. Awesome upgrade Bryce. I’d be looking at 9” if they had volume knobs!
Nice job reaching out to get a replacement for this one! I think so many people would have just eaten it since you bought it as "scratch and dent", but that's very clearly neither a scratch nor a dent. And that's not just a few dead pixels. I hope they don't send it to someone else who will accept it as is.
I installed one of these end of last year from EZT for my 2017 Golf R. Mine has been working perfectly since Dec '19 and I love it! I really hated the small, dim, stock 6.5" screen. This new screen is much easier to see which is very important for me while backing up. These cars should have come this way from the factory!
I agree! Only thing I wish is that the resolution changed. I didn't expect to have HUGE buttons for all the options and whatnot. But regardless it's dope
I couldn’t cope with that dude, it would boil my piss every time I looked at it. Not sure how much they cost in the US, in the UK, you can get the MIB2.5 pro with the 9.2” screen fitted for around £1000 ($1200 USD). The screen you have there is around £300 ($365 USD) in the UK (fully working). Can tell from your expression, you’re disappointed and trying to talking yourself into it.
Any places you have in mind for that price? I'm driving through the uk on the way back to Germany once lockdown is over (I'm in Ireland) so might get it fitted for that price.
Thankfully they're sending me another after reaching out. Said it was definitely not supposed to be like that. Maybe something happened in shipping. That's cheap though that's less then what I paid for this messed up one lol. I don't have the patience to do an mib 2.5 though 😬
That's messed up, they should have at least had a picture of the screen so you could see it before buying it. But the screen itself looks sooo much better than the old one, completely transforms the interior and gives it an updated feel. Thinking of getting one now.
Hi, First of all, thanks for sharing this vid! I have a 2013 VW Golf 7 1.2 TSi I would like to get this screen (Golf 7.5 style) in my car. 3 years ago, I removed the original one without navy system (just radio and car functions) and installed an Aliexpress chinese 10" Android Auto/Apple CarPlay Unit. I want this one recovering car info and would like to keep on using Apple CarPlay Do you recommend this for my purposes?
Are the two knobs the same size as the original? Curious if my Leyo aluminum knob covers will fit if I were to upgrade to the newer screen? Once you get drive time with the new screen, will be good to get your commentary if glare or even finger prints will be an issue.
I try to not touch the screen at all ever anyways unless totally necessary, in very anal about fingerprints and stuff 😅. Glare isn't an issue at all it seems I'd say these knobs are ever so slightly smaller in diameter and length though
I was wanting a 2018-2019 golf r because of the updated screens. glad I now know this is an option and can consider older models now. is there a way to make add a wireless CarPlay adapter to it?
I have a 17 R:. and I am considering this upgrade. How did you get the apps to show up (RUclips music, Waze etc.)? Also do you have plans to change the gauge cluster as well?
A few pixels is one thing, but that looked like a whole bunch of vertical lines. It would be too much for me. Great video though man. Ok that's good to hear they're sending a new one, I thought that was too bad to be sold. Hope the replacement is up to expectations.
@@BryceJordanProductions that's great, I'm glad it worked out, I'm looking to do the same upgrade but I have to change my head unit as well. I've been looking for videos like yours so I can see what is involved, so thanks for posting yours.
I have a Tiguan 2021 would be intestinal to swap the display too. By the way, I invented a new car mount for all Popsocket users, would like to have one and review it?
good video friend, you know I just bought a 2015 gti but it doesn't have apple carplay or the rest, do you think I can put a device like this to my 2015 VW GTI? Or does it have some modifications, if so, could you tell me more about it?
Look on the site eurozonetuning.com. 2015 uses the computer called MIB 1 You will need the full conversion to MIB2 to have carplay if I am not mistaken. They have everything you need on the site. I have not done this personally and I'm not the most knowledgeable on the swap, but I do know it's alot of work. I would email them directly for a more in depth explanation of what all you require to get carplay
Hi, i'm also french and i have a MIB2 (nomal not pro), so it is the same as you? All i need is the 8" screen but did you buy the 8" screen MIB Pro2 OR the 8" screean for MIB3 (i think, it is the second option, but i'm not sure and the screen looks exactly the same but did not have the serial number. @Shelby As-tu trouvé une solution.
That's like rolling a snake eyes on the table. As a vendor, I wouldnt tell someone there coule be some 'dead pixels' and send them a unit that has 25% of the screen pretty much jacked. These at half price still isnt chump change. I'd be disappointed myself.
Mine fit perfectly man I'm not sure what to tell ya. Try and sell it maybe and get the black forrest industries one.. or maybe take it to a machine shop and have them mod/make you a proper adapter
Hoping you or somebody might be able to help, does this need coding in? I have already have MIB2, want to go from small screen to larger one on mk7.5 golf
Does this unit still work with the cd player that's mounted in the glove box? ALSO does it always give that voice bit at start up? "Testing system ready"
Ok ha ha thanks for clarifying oh one last question a different video talks about if the car is an MIB 1, 2 or 2.5 does this matter for this product? And does it support Android auto?
Yes that matters it's for MIB2, not sure if it'll work with 2.5. If you already have AA or carplay it'll stay. It doesn't change any features at all. The brains for this is in the glovebox. You're just changing the monitor. Think of it as a desktop computer, you're just doing a screen swap everything else "behind the curtain" stays the same
@@BryceJordanProductions any suggestions how i can get either this product or something similar to work for my car if I only have MIB 1? my car currently does not have apple car play I did see another video where some one replaced the cd player part located in the glove box but it would be nice if I didnt need to mess with routing cables
Hey do u have the CD player in your glove box ? I got the 7.2 and want this one but don’t have a CD player and was Wondering if it would still work with out CD player
Hello, I have same issue, i currently have "composition colour" as an infotainment and im looking at upgrading to oem discovery pro but i dont have head unit (cd player) in my glove box either I just have a place for car books... Did u manage to somehow fix that issue?
@robertopinto8246 I don’t see why not! Send them an email to confirm but I’m sure you could! It’s just like changing your computer monitor. No coding or anything special it doesn’t effect anything else
Yeah it does but it’s not as simple. You have older “brains” called MIB1. So you need to do the MIB2 upgrade. Eurozonetuning.com has everything you need to do that. But it’s not for the weak. There are videos and such on it to DIY, I’ve personally never done it.
@@BryceJordanProductions I have that very one you install in the tiguan all space 2018 which my wife drives, I also have the 8 inch touchscreen in golf R Wolfsburg 2017 which I drive,I wanted to swAp my wife’s with mine, all OEM, just wandering if I will have faults code on the dashboard, I very much prefer the one in her car as I can easily turn the knob
Has anyone had any luck converting the AMI/MMI to USB? I plan on buying the same head unit but I would like to use CarPlay via USB. I didn’t know if the conversion was as easy as the head unit install or if I needed additional wiring harnesses/modifications
It's actually not as bad as I thought, but they are sending me a new one, said that isn't normal! Hopefully the next one is just a couple of faint lines if anything

Hi,
First of all, thanks for sharing this vid!
I have a 2013 VW Golf 7 1.2 TSi

3 years ago, I removed the original one without navy system (just radio and car functions) and installed an Aliexpress chinese 10" Android Auto/Apple CarPlay Unit.
I want this one recovering car info and would like to keep on using Apple CarPlay
Do you recommend this for my purposes?
The best interior upgrades 👌🏼
I agree!
Hey bro, Nice video! Which year is the car from? Do you think it Would work for a Passat 2015? My software version is 0137
I have no idea honestly man hit them up! This was from a 18+ golf R
Are the two knobs the same size as the original? Curious if my Leyo aluminum knob covers will fit if I were to upgrade to the newer screen? Once you get drive time with the new screen, will be good to get your commentary if glare or even finger prints will be an issue.
I try to not touch the screen at all ever anyways unless totally necessary, in very anal about fingerprints and stuff 😅. Glare isn't an issue at all it seems I'd say these knobs are ever so slightly smaller in diameter and length though
What screen size did you have originally? 5.8 or 6.5?
I was wanting a 2018-2019 golf r because of the updated screens. glad I now know this is an option and can consider older models now. is there a way to make add a wireless CarPlay adapter to it?
Not sure about this but there are wireless CarPlay adapters that plug into the USB in the bottom storage below the HVAC controls
Yeah not native but there's adapters online that work great I hear
I have a 17 R:. and I am considering this upgrade. How did you get the apps to show up (RUclips music, Waze etc.)? Also do you have plans to change the gauge cluster as well?
Apps show up using Android auto/apple car play. Eventually I'll do the cluster but it's not in the budget anytime soon
song u had up was called the lines and theres a shit ton of lines on the screen
The irony lol
Very nice retrofit. Where did you get the pins the remove the screen?
Optional kit purchase with the screen. Can probably find them on eBay for cheap
