Discover Media retrofit

[arcadelt]

Do others have this glitch or not have this glitch? Any ideas on whether this can be corrected?

I have noticed this too. This is not just an issue with this system, but is the standard approach in most computer operating systems when a character is not available in a font set. I would suggest this is because the Discover Media head unit post dates the white MFD, therefore I guess the only way to fix it is to update to a colour MFD.

I think it is supposed to be MHz.
This is what it looks like with a colour MFD.

For me, I'm missing what I assume is the battery symbol for both Android Auto, Phone and possibly CarPlay (don't use it, so don't know).

Could also be a network strength icon, but meh, either way - tiny tiny tiny price to pay to have a 1000 times better system than the RCD510 that didn't display anything on the MFD!

Hello i have the same issue at first when reteofitting mib2 unit on mk6. It was solved after doing 2 things (don't know wich ot them solved it) unplugging media/bt module over the glove box and upgrading gw to have 5F module on installation list.

I didn't have time for playing yet but i want to find the way to have nav info on mfd.

I have pdc info and rvc low working properly. Mfd info is the only thing missing at moment.

Hope it help you.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and thanks for the pics kamold.

agustinfx, are you saying you don't have the white square issue? Do you have any pics?

Simo, I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. But network signal and battery icons work fine on my unit and MFD.

Separate question: there's no ringtone in the car when someone calls me with my phone connected via bluetooth to the Discover Media unit. I can't find any ringtone options either. Does anyone know anything about this?

Sorry i have no pics.
I remember it perfect as you described when i was installing the unit.

The white empty square went out when installing updated gw and unplugging media/bt module. I also have to do some wiring in bt module connector on the car side to get the bt mic working in mib2 unit.

I also unplugged the bluetooth module and had to do some wiring in the BT module connector to get the mic to work as well.

Do you know what revision your gateway is? I upgraded mine, but to the BC revision (7N0 907 530 BC). Maybe I need a newer one still.

No that's new enough. It supports address 5f. I would think it has more to do with the cluster software version.

I upgraded from AM to BK with HW55
I think your version is ok since you have 5F module on instal list.

Hmm, you guys are probably right. To try to get to the bottom of this... do you know your instrument cluster SW/HW numbers?
