Locating MIB3 unit on Ibiza FR 2023

[kENN1N]

Hey guys, i just bought my new car, and my first project is car audio...

Im gonna install a Match UP 6DSP amplifier and that requires access to the MIB unit to install this adapter.

MATCH PP-VAG 6.6 | Audiotec Fischer

Plug & Play Quadlock cable harness (6m length) for easiest connection of a MATCH UPGRADE amplifier to a 6-channel VAG head unit

www.audiotec-fischer.de

I heard that this box/unit is moved around on different models etc.
My car has the 8.25" screen, so no navigation just apple/android carplay, its a 2023 Ibiza FR.

If someone could enlighten me where it is and what i have to disassemble to get there it would be much appreciated.

Regards.

You connect it to the head unit. The head unit is your screen.

Here you have pics of the head unit

Nice! thanks - finally some clarity, because i did infact contact a seat service center in my country and their mechanics said they think its behind the glovebox, i got different answers but nothing definitive.

I found your project now, did you remove the trim around the radio and removed it, no further disassembly?

Also did you run active or passive, i dont know if i should do that to split up the tweeters & door, i like it simple and easy to mount but also want the best quality, so im not sure if its worth the hassle.

Hmm i havent changed any audio in my ibiza, i thought about getting a Match mini dsp plug and play and change the speakers. But i think you will have to add a subwoofer in the back to be worth the upgrade. Otherwise the stock sound will be ok.

There is a trim part you will have to remove first. I think its the one on the dashboard, not the trim around the radio.
