I know! Fun fact, this white GTI of mine got totaled back in September of this year. I had to quickly salvage this MIB2 computer and 8” screen, and it took me a minute to get the hazards popped out so I could take the screen out when I was salvaging parts before the car was taken to the junkyard

Thank you for this video! I walked me through my install super easily. Figured this might help anyone else doing this, I was able to feed the wire through much easier by starting in the glove box and pushing it through that way instead of starting where he did in this video. It may have been a fluke that it worked so well for me, but if anyone else is having a hell of a time getting it through, it might be worth a shot

Part of the reason they price it so high is because the custom coding that goes into it to ensure it is properly attached to your VIN. Other people can sell MIB2's, but you risk it not being coded correctly for your exact vehicle.

@@erichnickens1557yes, but go with 8“, it’s SO much better. MIB2 has CarPlay itself, so the screen doesn’t exactly matter. Think of the MIB2 as a normal PC and your screen just as any other screen. As long as you have the MIB2 unit, you’re good for CarPlay. Make sure you do get the USB upgrade kit though, which has the new port to go in your front drivers compartment and the cable you feed to your glovebox (painstakingly). The only reason I’d say not to get it is if you don’t plan on having your golf for much longer. My GTI in this video was actually totaled in September 2022 by a lady that ran the red and T-boned my drivers side. But, I pulled this screen and MIB2 unit from the wreck, and got a 2018 VW GTI. However, in the Mk7.5 generation, the S trim models had a 6“ screen with the computer behind the screen (part of it) as opposed to in the glovebox. Check if your Golf has its unit in the glovebox already, as I had to replace my entire glovebox assembly with a new one that housed the MIB2 unit and I had to run a new set of cables to the unit.
