Another sighting, this time in a UK model 2015 Beetle. Definitely looks more like a single unit compared to what the new Polo and Golf have...

Lovely.
I don't have the French nor the time to translate this.
'B' grade O level in 1980 was quite an achievement but it doesn't cut it anymore!
A simple paragraph or two will suffice.
Can I put these new machines in my Mk V Golf?
C'est tout.

forum-auto doesn't really tell us much we don't know unfortunately. they only acknowledge their existence and suggest like i've been it *might* be possible to retrofit to a pq35 car (like the mk5/ mk6 golfs)





EDIT: Also now spotted in the Scirocco!

This looks so so interesting.
If the screen can fit, the other module is normally located on another place. So the question I guess is to know if there's problem with the connectors, and then... coding stuff.



Here you can see it: 0:47

Here you can see the connectors:
*Note: The conectors I'm guessing will be the same, but this version is not screen + module, it goes all together.

What I'm trying to say is I don't think the ones in my post have the separate module

Yes you are right in a Golf Mk7 (or new Polo) you would have a separate module, but this potentially looks to be everything all in one enclosure...

Yes you are right in a Golf Mk7 (or new Polo) you would have a separate module, but this potentially looks to be everything all in one enclosure...

We should have someone with one of these new mk7 stye units (or Alhambra, Scirocco, etc), who's willing to help us a little bit disassembling their own units to see how are they build (if they can fit, which seems to be really possible), and which type of connectors they use.
Do we know the names of this units? We know that there are at least two or more types (the one you show us "RNS/RCD shape", and the "Golf mk7 shape"; and one module all together, or two modules).

But even if they're separete modules, I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Now I'm thinking, that may be there are more things to care about as well, like Gateway.

More Googling and it seems I've found someone who has done it   :drool:



Fitted to a Touran!

Will continue searching to see if there is any actual information on how this was done...

EDIT: Few details and pictures here confirming it is one unit - http://forum.index.hu/Article/viewArticle?a=134210705&t=9187021

Subscribed to this thread - really interested to see if this is a possible retro fit, keep up the research guys  :notworthy:
Noticed on the video the MFD has speed limit detection, lane departure warning etc... This could mean that the MK5 gateway and CECM may not be compatable - MK6 has a different system if memory serves correct. Also noticed the car it was working in has the three dials on the centre top dash. I don't think this is possible with MK5 electronics architecture either
