Which head unit is best to go with a VC retrofit?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Ive recently purchased my Superb and i would like to one day retrofit a VC however ive been told there isnt much point with my current head unit as it doesnt have nav built in. Does anyone know which head unit i should be looking to upgrade to? not mega fussed on the price.

 

TIA

Either the MIB2.5 Amundsen or Columbus.

 

The only difference between them in terms of a VC is that the Columbus can show the maps at the same time as the VC. With the Amundsen, the maps can only be displayed on one (so either the VC or radio display).

 

I think your car is a 2018 so probably has a MIB2.5 as stock.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

Amundsen definitely seems appropriate, why would anybody want the map on twice? Lol 

You also get full 3D mapping on the VC with MIB2.5 Columbus where it’s only 2D on the Amundsen and there are other benefits to the Columbus as well.

Does anybody have the part numbers I would need to do the swap? Columbus or Amundson? Is it just a straight swap or is there coding involved?

There is lots more involved, it needs to be started with a genuine copy of odis to remove component protection, modules will need coding to adjust for the new unit, possibly the display needs changing and i might be wrong on this but if your car doesnt have satnav, it might not have the correct antennas there.
