Anyone have a guide how to fit the Kenwood / Garmin nav unit? The GVN-MIB1 one unit? I’ve got one coming next week to give me something to do over Christmas and a heads up on what needs to be removed would be good. 

 

Cheers

it comes with instructions in the kit. dead easy

Ah fair doos thought it poss would, should keep me quiet for a few hours one day 

if anyone else is looking to fit this it is pretty easy, I used these instructions as a guide: http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/files/file/car/uk/Volkswagen-MK7-Golf-instructions.pdf

 

Take note on the rear camera settings, I missed that and assumed that being supplied by a skoda dealer it would be set right but it wasn't, meaning each time I went to reverse I got a blank screen.

 

Also don't bother with the traffic aerial that is supplied, I got no traffic in the last 2 months since fitting, even in towns etc, however there is a booster that taps into the OE FM aerial and takes a feed off that for the traffic. the dealer part number is ZGB-000-035-560, it was £35 or so from TPS, so will be a little more from a dealer but worth it's weight in gold! as soon as I plugged it in I had traffic within 1 min, and it has never dropped out since.

How much did you pay as i am interested in one for my vrs if the price is right !

I picked mine up from a dealer down in Plymouth I think who was selling off old stock on ebay, I paid £330 or there abouts inc delivery and the maps were the original 2015.

 

one tip I would give is on the unit where there is a flap to access the SD card and people use a card extender next to it is a mini USB port (usb C I think but i could be wrong) either way I had a spare lead, use this with the Garmin express software and POI loader software on a laptop. It’s far far easier for adding the pocket GPS speed camera POI and doing updates inc the maps (not done mine yet but the Garmin update says it’s about £60 to update them I think). I have also added new cars to mine via the Garmin express software and you should be able to add new voices etc. 

Does anyone knows on Skoda 2014 what is the config of the dip switch?

Instructions are for Golf and Polo

 

the install guide for the mk7 golf is the same

Thank you
