Does the newer unit run off the same software as the original MIB2 unit?.
The reason I ask is the newer unit also has slightly better functionality than the older unit, one such change I noticed is how to input a postcode which is much easier on the newer system as you don't have to search for the 'Ptcd.' button.

This is only the screen , the actually headunit hasn't been changed , hence everything will look exactly the same as the old one , just the screen look like the newer version ! No coding need , only modification will be annatena plug at the back on the old unit is different, so has to trim down a little
Don't think they will , they initially told me nothing could be done and I end up found this out off another Tiguan owner and it is possible to just change the screen! Apparently there is lots of people with golf has done this conversion ! When I bought the car , I was very disappointed with the car has got a newer unit just after 2 productions! So I always jealous about the more modern look of the new one ! But it's not sorted
It was around £40+ when it all came through, they send you an extra set of bulbs in case its faulty rather than trying to send them back to the states. Not sure if you could just use another IR remote (ie the ones that control lights) if thats the case then If I find it I could sell the other set. Its the only LED lights that I could find that are don't bring up codes and change colours to match ambient lights
yes this is only upgrading the old style 8" display to 8" newer style. as mine is 66reg (first production)
apparently the screen is only A SCREEN, the graphic and setting is all based on the unit in the glove box, therefore, nothing has changed from my original setting. the only change is the more modern/ up to date look compare to the newer production
I paid £220 for the screen as I verge on a brand new one without mark, however it you can have it as cheap as £150 etc.
the trim is off a 2019 R-line and I am luckily hold on to one with perfect condition for as less as £35
both item are from ebay, there is lots of screens, but Decent trim might have to wait for the correct timing.
Part number for the screen 5G6919605B (for satnav) or 5G6919605A(without satnav), obviously depends on you car if it already have sat nav
Tirm part number 5NN858069B
I didn't realise until I collected my car but the car I test drove had the old unit but mine came with the updated touch control, I guess I got lucky on that one

Hi thank you all for the information on the 8" glass screen I have a 2016 model but it had the 8" standard screen and I have upgraded the screen today.
I could not fit it due to my injuries to my hands but I got a ex-halfords fitter to do the work for me.
After I showed him this post a videos on YouTube he removed the old screen and fitted the new on in 20 mins.
it is much more clearer and my app button works as it should, the standard screen had a traffic button but mine works as it should.
also does any body have any reconditions on a glass screen protector as it is already full of finger prints.
Would it be easy enough (expense aside) to upgrade so the vehicle has OEM Sat nav? i.e the head unit and gubbins in the glovebox. For example is it pre wired for sat nav/ plug and play?

I didn't think that you could get a Mk2 R Line without factory sat nav?
Unless you are not in the UK?
I would imagine that aside from the expense of the new infotainment unit in the glove box, you would need a new GPS aerial and the wiring to suit, probably some coding too.
Most difficult part would probably be getting someone to remove the component protection which I think all the new units have now.
Hey, could you share where you got the badge overlays from?
