I'm planning to upgrade my 2015 Seat Leon mib1 unit without nav and no usb port in the center storage cubby to mib2 unit mainly to get OEM full link.
I have done some research and know that component protection exists and needs to be disabled somehow. If I understood correctly, there are two different ways to remove it: dealer or somebody else with official volkswagen equipment and server access or by removing it yourself with some toolbox and green engineering menu but this requires a nav unit with two sd cards.
I found a 5F0035877 headunit for a good price from a crashed vehicle but if I understood correctly, this unit doesn't allow removing the CP with the toolbox and GEM. My only option is to remove it officially. Am I correct and should I buy this particular unit or wait for a unit I can remove it myself? How difficult is it and how bad might it go?
What should I do? What is a reasonable price for these headunits? This one is sub 300€.
I have also found a 5F0919606 display and the usb port should be the 5G0035222E which I can get from another crashed vehicle or buy from ebay. I guess I also need the CD removal tools but is there anything else I'd need?
Some good tutorials on youtube etc. would also be appreciated!
If more information is needed, please tell me.
Thank you all for helping! I appreciate it!
