Swapping RCD510 (5K003519) with premium RCD510 (5K003519A) unit coding required?

Got a 2011 built Passat tdi wagon

Your coding for the last 2 bytes will be 0011

Thanks mate. Appreciate your help!

Bit off topic, but do you know if its possible to change the default setting of the stop/start function through VCDS. Drives me insane having to turn it off every time I start the car. Ideally would like it to be off by default!

NO............

Just disconnect the module on the battery earth....then it doesnt stop/start anymore

It can be done but Ross Tech won't say how as it will make the vehicles non compliant as far emmissions are concerned in the USA and for that matter the rest of the world when and if it becomes enforced.

I read somewhere if you change the voltage settings parameters in the module and increase the voltage value for the battery it wont switch the engine off as it then thinks the battery charge is insufficient.

Kind of used to it now as both the Tiguan and my 320d have it and I must admit the BMW system is very quick at starting the car especially at a busy intersection. I have also noticed both cars (assembled at the same time same mileage and driver) switch on and off differently on the same route but it may be because they have different batteries and the modules are configured accordingly.

...no point having MDI if you have 9w7 as just BT stream your music....

My understanding, however, is that BT won't let you see the list of music on your device, whereas MDI will. This could make choosing music on the fly safer.

The music control / display depends on the revision of the BT module. I just upgraded mine and instantly I have steering wheel control and track data visible on the RCD510 and MFD
