If I am not wrong it's an MIB 2, right?

And want to upgrade to this lcd screen 5FJ919605B:

And if 5NN919605B is compatible with our ATECA?
Or

I have to change the MIB unit? In wich case of screen ?

Can I upgrade my MIB 2 to MIB3?

Thanks for help

You could try the Leon 3 thread. I don't think you can swap mib2 for mib3. You can upgrade mib2 standard to mib2 high. Plenty did that on the Leon 3 thread way back when. That a mib2 standard that you have.

Ateca Cupra to 2020, not mib3 that was 2020 on, may have had more fancy infotainment front panel displays like what you have shown. There you go most people have moved on from changing their heads I reckon. That was ten years when they went from mib1 to 2 and mib2 standard to mib2 high.

You can update the maps BTW on that unit if you strictly follow the instructions about the overall.nds file:


This years maps. 514 software you are on can be changed to 516 but I can't give you information on that one here. Board rules.

The Arona here is on 514. The maps are up to date. People changed the units software if they were having issues with Android Auto. 516 was the final release of that.
 
Thanks for you reply will have a look to it
The most important for me now is changing the lcd touch screen because at this Time the actual lcd screen give it a 2010 golf look….
 
It might be worth checking what they final put on the Cupra Atecas to 2020 since they were the close out years of mib2. Whether they got more modern screens. The Arona 2019 certain got a TFT type of screen. 2016 Atecas got the Tiguan screen.

Somebody did change there front panel which must have come with the buttons as well. They bought the wrong screen with the navigation button for the unit that was sold without navigation. They had to go into the infotainment menu to selection navigation. The screen socket was interchangeable but just didnt have the button.

You could investigate whether they fitted a more luxury screen to the Ateca over the years and it would probably be interchangeable if they didnt change the fitting.
 
Yes I have found some vag coder video changing LCD touchscreen but no one with my years model
And for model, i have search and the reference posted on my first post are all screen of ateca model from 2016 to 2024
 
As I mentioned in my previous message, I contacted him on Facebook, but he never deigned to reply.
He even blocked me on Facebook, so I no longer have access to his page.
I had hoped for a reply on the forum since he is a sponsor, but days have gone by.
If he doesn't want to help, that's fine—and I understand if he doesn't want to share information with forum members, as it's his livelihood...
The thing is, I'm in France and he's in England, and he only performs his services at his own premises.
I'm just going to buy the screens and test them myself.
It's a shame he won't help, because from what I've seen, he's the expert on Seat vehicles.
I contacted him on Facebook and ended up blocked.
No reply on the forum.
I'm not going to send an email if it means never getting a reply or ending up in his trash folder.
Unfortunately, the VAG experts I've contacted don't really know Seat vehicles.
The only one who does wants to sell me the full package for €1,200.
