Maps in AID

It’s not just maps that go from infotainment to dash dude, so presume they use the fibre optic for other stuff too

Also if you haven’t nav you won’t have maps on the AID

Ahh so you changed to nav
Maybe have a look in the 5f for this little lot

Hey guys,

Need to resurrect a 2 year old thread...

Don, you mention something about hacked unit errors for CP. I'm having the issue of getting map on AID display. Just shows the compass as in images above from Carolco. Backstory...I have a Golf mk7.5R that has had Dicovery nav upgraded to the Nav Pro 9.2" by a previous owner. The cockpit has also been replaced by the same owner. These were upgraded/replaced as the car had them stolen from it and the originals were removed by the thieves.

I can't get the maps to show on the AID cockpit at all. Have checked coding several times. Being the 9.2, in 5F 'Ability to switch nav maps' is set to OFF as it should display in the AID and MMI. If I toggle that to ON, the MMI screen shows a button to swap to AID as it should on the standard Discovery nav however this button is greyed out with no ability to send the map to the AID. Being the mk7.5, all AID models have the ability to show the map. Is mine not doing it because of the CP errors on the hacked unit?

Please help, I know it might be a little thing to others but I'd like to get the map data on the AID... Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

Hi vwjap,

I've tried it with the switch maps setting on and off. Only thing that changes is when on, the button on my MMI to swap to AID is greyed out.

I've checked fault codes today and found an error in 5F for 'Optical data bus - Open circuit U104900'.

It also has errors for CP and Control module software incompatible. I'm assuming these are due to the hacked nav pro unit.

Will check the optic cable and report back what I find.

Ok so I managed to fix it finally. Once I changed and confirmed the fibre optic cable was sending data from the MMI to the AID, I still couldn't get maps to work. Read through infinite posts and forums and finally got it to work!

I found a post on VWVortex with all coding required for the MMI and for the AID.
Thanks to Bbusato from the US for compiling everything in one post.

My issue was with coding in 5F - 'Open module 5F and open Long Coding Helper; go to Byte 22 and uncheck Bit 0 - Instrument Cluster Graphics [STANDARD]'.
For some reason, Bit 0 was checked. As soon as I unchecked it and rebooted the MMI, the maps loaded on MMI and AID. You have to reboot the MMI unit for any coding changes to take affect. Can be done in obdeleven or using power button on MMI or remove key and lock car for a minute.

I've seen a lot of people have the 'Starting map view' error and it was always solved by an issue in the coding so if anyone has this issue, check all coding is correct using the vwvortex link. For me I had to replace the fibre optic cable and also alter one part of the code.

Glad its finally working Made me happy. Thanks

Hello,

I have a problem with mine, the car suddenly stopped loading the map in the Virtual Cockpit.
In other words, it only loads in Discover Media.

And the button to change the maps is visible, but it doesn't work.
I'd rather have the map only in the Virtual Cockpit than in Discover Media, because I think it's more interesting that, in my case, the car gets the message in the cockpit ‘loading map view’.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?
