Just got an octavia 2014 with bolero infotainment (5E0035840A) is it possible to upgrade to the 9.2" mib 2.5 ? 

The man in the know is @pab567 who can sort you out in that direction.

@kfayz Possible, at least both display and glove box unit must be exchanged. Pls share your VIN so I can check the details.

How to download latest Asia map without VIN, because I had retrofitted Mib 2.5, so my vin shows Bolero.

So now you have Bolero MIB1, with Bluetooth, without DAB, part number 5E0035840A, with USB 5Q0035726B and fortunately you don't have CANTON sound system.

 

You can install one of four different OEM glove box units:

- MIB2 Bolero
- MIB2 Amundsen
- MIB2 Columbus
- MIB2.5 Columbus

 

You also need to replace display unit:

- for MIB2 Bolero you can use either 6.5" model number 5E0919605H or 8" model number 5E0919605N
- for MIB2 Amundsen and MIB2 Columbus you can use listed above display as well as 6.5" model number 5E0919605J, 8" model number 5E0919606, 8" model number 5E0919605M
- for MIB2.5 Columbus the only display unit that works is 5E0919606D

 

If you woulkd like to use Apple CarPlay then you also have to replace USB port.

 

The question is what is your budget and which of listed below features are "must have":
- Video playback from DVD, USB, SD
- CD playback
- OEM navigation
- displaying OEM maps in Virtual Cluster (Active Info Display).

 

All units support SmartLink (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink), rear view camera, voice command. features that differ them:
- MIB2 Bolero - no OEM navigation, no CD/DVD drive, no video playback from SD/USB
- MIB2 Amundsen - OEM navigation, no CD/DVD drive, no video playback from SD/USB, support for displaying OEM maps in Active Info Display (Virtual Cluster)
- MIB2 Columbus - OEM navigation, CD/DVD drive, video playback from SD/USB, no support for displaying OEM maps in Active Info Display (Virtual Cluster)
- MIB2.5 Columbus - OEM navigation, CD/DVD drive, video playback from SD/USB, support for displaying OEM maps in Active Info Display (Virtual Cluster)

VW maps update create account (e-mail only required). Select Golf GTI, from 2017, select radio (Discover Media = Amundsen, Discover Pro = Columbus), select region, download

@pab567thank you so much for the detailed response, this means  mib2.5 columbus with 9" screen will work right  ?
 

Also can my car support virtual cluster ?

Yes, it will.

Yes, it can, but to get full features of it you need to replace gateway and MFSW buttons.

You will need RoW maps and select your reason as appropriate on Amunsden (unless you have a larger SD card) or Columbus - download RoW maps (its a big file)
