Discover Media retrofit

**kamold** · 18-09-2020, 07:59 AM

Your bad clone of VCDS is the problem, not the gateway in terms of being able to communicate with it.
Clock won't be correct because the instrument cluster software is too old. Only solution is install a newer cluster (this involves immobilizer matching).

For park assist you need to disable RVC low in byte 19 of 5F coding, and also disable in adaptations:
ENG122229-ENG117710-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-parking_assist_0x0A -> not active
ENG122227-ENG117496-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_pdc -> not active
ENG122227-ENG117498-Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2-menu_display_pdc_over_threshold_high -> not active
ENG122228-ENG117685-Car_Function_List_CAN_Gen2-PDC_audio_lowering -> not available

@kamold thanks for your reply!
Yes, I use an old version of VCDS, bought years ago to activate the led rear lights.So also with this Gateway it is possible to access the address 5F?

At this point I have two options:
1- Buy a new VCDS or ask someone to do it for me.
2- Leave the RVC option active on the MIB and purchase this kit: RVC OBD Dynamic

Right?

As for the clock, I think replacing the instrument cluster is not easy, and I don't know how to match it with the immobilizer.
Out of curiosity, which instruments cluster is needed to work with the mib?

The slight "pop" I hear from the woofers when I get into the car, from what can be caused?

Yes you can use the OBD Dynamic camera they work well.
A proper VCDS cable will be able to code address 5F without replacing the gateway with 7N0 version.
Instrument cluster software needs to be I think 04xx or above.
The pop normally should only be heard when you connect diagnostics to 5F. Maybe the speaker coding is not correct.

Thanks for your help! Last question, if I replace the Gateway with the new version 7N0907530BC, can I access the 5F module also with my old VCDS? Or support to 5F was introduced with the latest versions VCDS?

**kamold** · 20-09-2020, 09:06 AM

I think you'll need a newer VCDS to be able to access address 5F.
However I can't say with any authority as I have only used genuine

^^^ @Kamold: hmmmm.......... old VCDS instead of OBD2 version, clone VCDS instead of genuine VCDS and hacked hex5F module instead of FAZIT enabled retrofit!!

OP has certainly made lots of $ savings! Alas there must be a cost for all these benefits - I share your concerns!!

Proper CP matched PQ Discover Media is quite involved and difficult.
I have mine done but it's more as an academic exercise and for completeness.
Wouldn't recommend it when there are easier and cheaper ways to do it.
Either hardware or software patch.
