Furthermore, it seems to me as if the ubercheap ebay fix did in fact work but you failed to enable the extra 2 settings that you were asked to perform using VCDS/OBD11. So yours is already activated. As I stated earlier in this thread have a look at the mr fix videos on youtube. This is the one that applies to your situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdBYaaIVfVE

You need VCDS/OBD11 to enable a setting in the infotainment unit that displays the Green Engineering Mode ( GEM for short ). Then once the GEM is activated you can see and use the MIB2 Toolbox which you install and run from the sd card.

If you've got an Amundsen/Discover Media MIB2 unit it can be enabled for free. VCDS/OBD11, sd card and MIB2 Toolbox are all that are needed. Check out Mr Fix on youtube - he's got loads of videos explaining things.

From a quick search on the internet it seems your unit is a Swing unit so it's neither of them. Therefore, I'd assume the toolbox won't work on your unit.

Turn the ignition key to the on position. If the radio is off then manually switch it on. Now remove the key while the radio is on and it should switch off automatically and should also start automatically when you reinsert the key and turn the ignition back on. Easy peasy.

Don't panic its normal behaviour after changing a battery . After a few minutes of driving the faults will slowly disappear. You should use vcds/obd11 to programme the new battery in though. It'll still work but not at it's full capacity as the battery management system will still think the old battery is still in use.

At last - they've released the long awaited new version. I expect @MartiniB will post the links soon but in the meantime here's a link for the full Europe 2210 v.19 map. Enjoy! : https://navigation-maps.volkswagen.com/vw-maps/DiscoverMedia2_EU-AS_2210_V19.7z

Check the video in my edited previous post. It definitely works. Sounds a bit technical but it's really fairly simple. Check the poster's other videos especially the one on how to install the toolbox.

Unlocking Android Auto/Carplay can be done for free on certain models e.g Amundsen MIB2 using MIB2Toolbox and VCDS/OBD11. Check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9uwYmBPc1Q

If it helps my car is a 2017 pre facelift 2.0L SEL CRMB 150 bhp and in the list of the PR codes for my vehicle is the following entry: 8GU Alternators: Alternator 140В A I haven't removed mine to check the exact part no. but I've looked at an online parts catalogue which is more or less the same as the one used by TPS and there seems to be a lot of variations. The original alternator can be either a Bosch or a Valeo manufactured one and each manufacturer has different variations. The Bosch variations also have superseded models.

Latest Updated Speedcams - January, 2024. Here's the latest update of my customised version of EUR Speedcams ( January, 2024 ). They consist of the full EUROPE speed cameras which I've split up into four consolidated poi categories i.e. Fixed Speedcams, Average Speedcams, Variable Speedcams and Redlight Speedcams. They come supplied with my own preferred personal choice of icons, shown below, to match each of the speedcam categories. Remember to Install them as I explained in the first post in this thread i.e. after extracting the zip file remember to open the newly extracted folder and place only the PersonalPOI folder and metainfo2.txt file onto your sd card ( Please Note: a usb stick will not work! ). Also, please remember to select/tick the relevant newly added poi categories and the poi audible warning alert in your infotainment map menu settings after performing the update or they will not display on your map or audibly alert you. Hope you all enjoy them! EUR Speedcams - January, 2024.zip

Sorry it can't be done on a pc and no I'm afraid they won't work on your unit. Sorry they will only work on MIB2 units and possibly some MIB2.5 units.

It looks like your unit is a Harman unit so unfortunately these files will not work with your unit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of properly checking the oil level is for the car to reach operating temperature then SWITCH OFF engine and wait ten minutes and then you check the oil level. You don't leave the car idling for ten minutes. I'm sure that's what the label under the bonnet says but like I stated I stand corrected if I'm wrong. And obviously the procedure should be performed on a flat surface.
