#Discovery pro mods install
Hard way: Buy a used brain unit and find someone to remove component protection and purchase and install new FeC's (basically codes that enable featuresets like carplay, nav, etc). HD radio, native GPS with NA maps, Carplay/AndroidAuto, and all other functions work though. One thing you should know though is that this is a european MIB2.5 brain unit flashed with north american firmware (likely from e-golf premium) and they have not been able to get SiriusXM working. Eurozone Tuning is a US based retailer that also offers this, but I think they just re-sell APG judging from the pics on their website which are straight rips from the APG site. APG in poland is probably the biggest retailer for unlocked units. If you have MIB1 2015 like me, you have to also swap the USB plug in the cubby and route wiring to the glove box which is slightly more of a pain, but still doable myself alone. The screen, new trim, and glovebox control unit are very very easy plug and play swaps and all you need for 2016+ vehicles. A newer toolkit called the MIB2 Toolbox makes this even easier ( )Įasy way: Buy a pre-hacked, fully unlocked unit. Discover Pro runs a linux variant called QNX that you can telnet into as root, download and modify files, swap in custom graphics, potentially add new features if so technically inclined. Probably the biggest benefit of MIB2/2.5HIGH over MIB2STD is if you're into customizing things. I came from MIB1 though, so this was a huge upgrade.
#Discovery pro mods upgrade
The discover pro upgrade (aka MIB2HIGH) doesn't add that much over MIB2STD. I will say that if you already have a standard MIB2 unit (2016+), just get the 8" glass screen upgrade for a few hundred bucks and call it a day. I did the easy way, cost was slightly over $2000. You can do this retrofit the easy way (more expensive but essentially plug and play) or the hard way (cheaper but more hassle).
