I've recently been asked by a colleague on another forum to help with his retrofit of the rear-view camera on his mk7 Golf. In the process of trying to figure-out what was wrong, I was introduced to the hypothesis in the webpage HERE which claims to be a method for combating CP errors
What an interesting hypothesis - I thought!!
Whilst the author doesn't say specifically, it seems that the "hack" works on tricking the CP master into believing that the original module is still installed. It appears to do this by copying the identity (and VIN, I assume) from the old module and pasting the data into the new module. The author says that this information rests in the address space hex0640 and hex0770 of the EEPROM (for MMI units)
Has anyone here done this and if so - what were your findings?
