So I Found the code 121212 Something odd thought, I don't see dabZ in the apps. I will try to install carwebguru a d see if it shows In there

So the unit is in place and running. The UI is soooo much nicer and everything is snappy and fast. Now I have to learn how to use it because is is completely different than the other one. I also need the factory password. I hope there is a setting for the FM volume because as it is, on 1 It blasts your ears.

So my unit has finally arrived and as expected... there was a little bit of a lie. The B version suppose to work with the cd player is just an extended connector to avoid moving the harness from the glove box side to the the center of the car... there is no connection what so ever to the cd player. In my case, this is useless as I hav to get the stock GPS antenna and the stock DAB antenna so I must move the harness. the quadlock quality is lower than the presious one I had. There is no stock USB cable, hopefully I kept the one from the previous unit that I will customise to get the 5V to the quadlock. I sold the other custom one with the connector to the new owner. I will try to get everything set up and running this evening or tomorrow.

Ground is black and 5v is red

Cool, I asked them to send me one for my new unit but they refused as I didn't get it from theme. i will go waster style and build my own, I have enaught knowledg in electric and soldering to make it happen.

I personnaly went with VW MQB PLATFORM

Depending on you screen size, I think your best option wouldbe to go with sometihong like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003707114556.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.15342e0e7PKXPD

It has nothing to do with the unit. The unit only communicates throught the canbus and doesn't write anything in the car. The guys remapping will in fact go trought the ODB port but with something more similar to a VAGCOM than a simple ODB reader. Your box may be faulty wich seller did you get your 4GB from?

did you connect the white 4 pin connector straight to the head unit il the rigt place? youshould test the leads on th 5v wires to see if you have power on theme. Also check if they did not ivert live and ground. Alsi make sure that you have cables on the other side of the quadlock going into the car. I sold my unit so I can't show you pictures

Here you go

the unit is shipped. Now... patience

is your 8/128 a TS serie? I decided to stay away from the TS.

It should work, wagster has a rhd as uses the same cable. In fact he was the first to do it. Also you must move the whole harness from the glove box to where the screen is, between the 2 seats

I thought about the permanent one but i don't want to drain my battery. The 70mai have an inbuilt battery to start recording if the car has a choc so I went with the rear wiper. I would stay away from the headlights, blowing a fuse on theme or shorting theme in any way will be more dangerous than a simple wiper.

I have a 2014 vrs TSI and so Issues at all with start and stop. The cam stays on until I open the door, which shuts down all the electronic

I personnaly use the rear wiper too. Turns the cam on and off with the car. I use a 70MAI

Ha ha ha 1100€ for a head unit... Don't worry, I will let you know when it has arrived and is tested.

Well after a weak of the tiny amundsen, I bit the bullet again and ordered another model of android head unit. Beware, it is not possible to come back to this tiny screen, GPS looks horrible, takes ages to load, doesn't have acurate traffic info, to find a DAB station, you have to go trough folders, each folder being a broadcast antenna then the staitons are in each folder.... call quality is to pnouch thought. Anyway, I figured that the call quality on the TS18 is bad because the microphone gain is too low and adding an external amp like I did only adds noise as it amplifies all that is comming from the cabin. Other units have a real microphone gaine adjustment. So, I went with this model https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005003182702197.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra&spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef5e5bZf82De the 3GB / 32GB model B that is supposs to let you use the stock cd player. It is a SDM450 processor: 8-core Cortex-A53 1.8Ghz processor. Qualcom rings great to my ears. And I hope I don't have these sticking parking sensors issues anymore. got it for 177 euros, sold the TS18 for 140 euros. A also went with a sound compresison and noise barrier board https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32951018431.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra&spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef5e5blbcfvY just in case. As I said, my amplifier board amplifies everything, this board is suppose to eliminaite certain frequencies and enhacnce voices. If the mic of the unit is still bad, I can go this route. So it is not shipped yet, I will get back once it is installed and tested.

goodyear eagle asymetric 5 I have the 3's that I am going to change after 56000km. they are long llasting, comfortable, quiet, fuel efficient and great grip and don't break the bank.

So the adventure is over for me. I just sold my unit (lost 100 euros but it is better than nothing). I was honest to the buyer why I was selling it. The bad phone quality and the parking sensors hanging on me was too annoying. I may give another unit a go. A 3GB / 32GB but that can use the cd player. I will let myself some time to think about it. To be honnest, putting the 5.8 amundsen back is quite shocking.

Ok looking forward to it.

Mine just kicked me out today, same thing, activation asked... I sent a message to the seller. Any luck on your side?

I don't think so, I searched for one before asking the seller to send me one for 1$. If he doesn,t send one then you must make yours by splicing one of th usb to get the 5v and send it to the quadlock wagster did it.

If it is the same as ours, then it is. You just need an internet connection and it will update OTA. Then you factory reset. look here
