Hello. I have a 2016 MK3 Octavia with what I believe is the MIB2 radio (2 SD slots no CD player) and a screen with the part number 5E0 919 605 J. 

 

The radio works with all functions but the screen is now displaying random mess with hints of the proper display behind (i.e. you can make out the radio station buttons or the time occasionally). It did this last year but then corrected itself for 9 months. This year it seems to have died properly having been like this for several weeks. 

 

I think that the screen has died and can simply be removed and replaced with a second hand unit with the same serial or even the slightly upgraded 5E0 919 605 M unit. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue? See attached image for reference. 

On the Seat side of things on Mib2 people have replaced the screens where they are broken. The question is whether that mess is generated in the screen or in the box in the glove box. Reckon that will be in the screen. It's just taking a gamble. The person who replaced the Seat one got one without the navigation button ie. They bought the wrong one without navi. It worked fine they had to get navigation via the main menu. So the pin out of the screen is common just the buttons are different. It lacked the navi button. You could see from the launch materiel the range of screens and boxes. As long as the screen fits in the gap the screens were interchangeable least in that case on the mib2 line of things. So least at a pinch you can fit a non matching screen without navi.

 

Pass on the j and m thing. I'm wondering whether yours is really mib2 but you'd tell from the map card. If say they changed the data flow between mib1 and mib2 then the screens may work differently.

 

The ssp 163 for an Ateca if you Google it shows the slots where you put your keys to take it out. Page 46. Page 44 and 46 on what was fitted on that model. You need something equivalent for your model or erwin. As said the data flow into the unit and pin out was the same. Just the buttons different to the with and without navi but it worked. I told them they had bought the wrong screen after finding the right screen... You pull it out. Disconnect the cables and put the replacement in. Component protection is in the box not on the display screen.
