Repair virtual cockpit

To add to the big internet because I could not find a lot about it; I fixed my virtual cockpit with the help of parts from uncle Ali.

I also found out that with an MIB3 there is no MOST cable, as it is running on Ethernet.

The display started showing lines:

After a few days it was dead. Reason I assume is that the car handler I bought the car from used water, which dripped down in the display. Bought the car with damage and without waranty.

The design of the cockpit isn't the best, because all connections of the display are at the bottom of the screen.

After it was dead the display also gave a red exclamation mark and a B200041 error.

I took the risk of ordering only the display. The part number is LA103DV1(SL)(01). Multiple resellers can be found on Aliexpress.

Removing the cockpit is quite easy. The same as an Passat.

The cockpit can be removed and opened from the back by removing all the torx screws. Flip it over and take of the front.

Now you can disconnect the flat cable and take out the display.

Disconnecting the flat cable is done by opening the connector and taking the flat cable out. A fiddly job, multiple examples to be found on YouTube. 

Then it is the reverse order, connecting the flat cable, mounting the new screen, assemble the cockpit again and put it back.

The result is:

And the redexclamation mark went away.
