what hardware modification did you do to MIB PQ unit?mateuszmiast wrote:Hi Steve,
upgrade is worth doing but there are some issues you must to mind. Main problem is with the unit because CP can't be removed on vehicle which had no this funcionality from factory, even if you have facelifted model. When you get already blocked stereo you can unlock it with main dealer in vehicle with MIB2 factory fitted but all SWaP functions will be deleted (MirrorLink, NAV, BT, etc.). To activate them you must buy codes from dealer what is not cheap. Best solution is to buy just removed unit from donor car with all options you want to have active. After getting stereo as described you must patch it with hardware (soldered on mainboard) to prevent it from blocking after 8hrs (in vehicle with cluster SW lower than 1xxx). If you have cluster with SW1xxx you must install CAN filter which is disabling cp blocking information from cluster on CAN network.
Regarding other issues, DAB amplifier is needed when your unit has DAB tuner. You must change as I remeber left amplifier in C pillar and wire it, aerial is the same. USB connection or USB hub (what I recommend especially if you think about MirrorLink) is a piece of cake, just installing ports, HUB and wiring. Sat nav aerial of course is needed if your car has not sat nav from factory. Gateway 7N0907530AN (BC/BG) in necessary to work with 5F units.
I made a few conversion with MIB2, so if you have any questions plese do not hesitate to ask.
If you are looking for unit I have 5C0035680E with DAB, MirrorLink, Voice Control, BT, NAV, Wifi, etc. active, patched, with 2xUSB connector hub, gateway, sat nav VDO aerial and quadlock adapter for £700 shipped with DPD.
I’m part way through this retro fit, had my unit patched by vcdsworx, and I need a CAN filter but I’m having trouble finding exactly what I need. Are you able to point me in the right direction?mateuszmiast wrote: If you have cluster with SW1xxx you must install CAN filter which is disabling cp blocking information from cluster on CAN network.
Ahh! I should send to the unit to vcdsworx to have the patched install as an extra circuit board needs to be installed. Where did you get the head unit?G60ffg wrote:The following link describes the modifications quite well:

I'm thinking about getting the headunit from eBay too but I don't know the CP counter of each unit. I understand that the CP counter can't be reset in pre-facelift car.G60ffg wrote:Yep that’s it! Got mine from eBay, was a fairly new one out of a T5. Needed an extra CAN filter as mine is a facelift model so the component protection still cut in so that was an extra expense but working great now.
Service from VCDSWorx was really good, quick turnaround and very helpful.

Hi, I have the 3D premium cluster installed in my 2011 Scirocco car, do I still need to go for the special board on the mainboard? or I can remove the Component Protection using the ODIS?Marius336 wrote:VW cant do it.
You need Spezial board soldert on the main board, ore you can do 3d Premium Cluster and use Component Protekion like factory,
!!!! But VW cant do it !!!!
Ask VCDSWorks ore VAGMods on Facebook, they do evry DM here in germany.

May I ask why VW won’t do it? My question is can they do it or not? If they can do it using their official tool then appreciate telling me how?Marius336 wrote:VW wont do it
There are 2 Options with youre 3D Cluster.
1. Solder board on mainboard AND use Can-filter for youre 3d cluster ( 2D and black and white dont need that. )
2. fuse Cluster and Radio togethere like factory ( only works on 3d cluster ) VCDSWorkx will do this VW not.
if car belong to Component protection remove online - dealer can do that easyblscargo wrote:Hi
I have a few questions about this process after you coded the radio in your friends caddy did the component protection ever come back and do you know how they coded it in you friends caddy was it coded to your sciroccos vin number and how much did it cost to activate everything?
