Discover Media retrofit

Checked adv measuring blocks, and you are correct, unit is receiving can signal. I have ordered Tiguan/b7 mib reverse camera. Converter must be faulty

A composite camera without a converter will give a superior image.

Hey agustinfx or others -- when you had to do some wiring in the bt module, can you describe it? Was your bt under the seat or in the armrest? My BT was in the armrest. I tried to follow what patrick did under the seat and I still can't get my mic to work with the mib2 stereo. Everything else is working so this is the last one and I would have thought the least complicated (vs audio, rear camera, integration with the MFI). Trying to figure out what options I have before replacing the mic and running dedicated wires from the mic location to the head unit.

Did anyone else do the mib2 upgrade with their bt unit in the armrest?

What exactly was your bluetooth module? Was it an OEM module or aftermarket?
Impedance on aftermarket mics may not match the OEM ones.
What head unit did you have previously and if RNS510 did you have SDS (speech recognition) working?

Discover media question about volume levels:

In my case, the Android Auto media volume vs all other volumes (radio, BT audio, whatever...) is low. I.e. I always have to double the volume setting when I switch to Android Auto media, then turn it back down again if I switch back to FM radio, in order to get what sounds like consistent volume to my ears. I'm not sure whether the Android Auto media volume is low, or the rest of the volumes are high. My guess is that the rest of the volumes are high - even at only 25% volume, the radio volume is extremely loud.

I know there is a Quiet/Medium/Loud setting in the UI for BT audio (or Low/Medium/High, can't remember). I have to set it to High to be close to the radio volume, and even then the radio volume level is still noticeably louder.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change volume scales or do some other adjustment in VCDS or otherwise to help make the volume levels between different sources more consistent?

I wish/hope there were a volume Low/Medium/High setting for the radio like there is for BT audio...

I also do not know of a way to raise Android Auto media volume on the phone side. If someone knows of such a thing, that would be an effective (but still not optimal) solution too.

Kamold,

Great write up, champion effort.

I installed a RCD330 & RVC in my MY08 Jetta a while back, which was great, but since recently upgrading to a newer Passat the RNS510 has been driving me nuts. I'm a little confused about the details of keeping the OEM highline camera with a new MIB 2 unit. Am I right in thinking that with a new harness, module and parametization I can keep full functionality and image quality? If that's the case I think I'll go ahead and do the upgrade. Are you still offering your services for patched units, map SDcards etc?

OEM highline camera doesn't work with the new discover media. They are just not compatible even with an rgbs to cvbs converter.
You can either use an aftermarket camera (which are available with moving guidelines that are based on an accelerometer, I have never seen one so can't vouch for them) or by replacing the control module and harness with a 7n0 Tiguan module.

Excellent, I'll have to start identifying my existing part numbers of my gateway and park distance controller. Cheers

Hello, kamold!

Is there any way to check if cp is active or inactive for a mib2 unit? If there's CP active, can i disable it with any tools or sd card software instead of going to vw dealer? I had an issue with my rvc as i told you and when i went to vw dealer they told me that the camera wasn't installed by them and they don't even want to look at my car, even if it's retrofitted with OEM equipment. I don't want to go there again for the CP to tell me the same thing because they will make me angry.
