Adding digital cockpit

There are a couple of companies that do the retrofit for a touch under £1000 if I recall correctly. Fairly sure you need the MIB2 headunit if you haven't already though.
Depends on your MIB and what kind of functionality you have.
Being 2015 you will likely only have MIB1. So you will need to upgrade both the glovebox unit and central screen, before getting the Digital Cockpit.
If you are lucky to have got a MY2016 (sold from about Sept 2015) then you will have MIB2, so in that case you can get the Digital Cockpit. However if you want the map view like this...
...then you will still need to upgrade the glovebox unit to a later version of the MIB with a fibre optic cable. But you can still run the digital cockpit without it with nav in the same way you would do now, with just the direction indicators.

So basically if I have mib1 it'll set me back around 2 grand, right?

thank you for your reply.
I’m not entirely sure which I have to be fair! How would I go about finding out?
There is a chat within the forum which covers this and the unit numbers for MIB1 or 2, just use the search bar and it will come up for you. Happy hunting
No need to apologise, would just give you a quicker answer, if i genuinely knew the answer i would have just told you hahaha.
Can't say from a part number, but a picture of your central screen will tell me.
Either way if you want the map displayed on the Digital Cockpit, you still need to upgrade the glovebox unit, just not the screen. But when you are spending that money its probably worth getting the 8" screen at the same time...
MIB 1 has a 5.5" screen and a MDI connection in the glovebox:
MIB2 has a 6.5" screen (you can just about see the smaller gap between screen and buttons) and a USB and Aux connection under the AC Controls:
In that case before you’ve even got the Digital Cockpit it’s either...
