Hi all,

I’m new to the forum so first of all, hello to everyone and secondly, apologies is this has been brought up before. I did search but couldn’t find answers I was searching for.

I currently have the 6.5 inch infotainment screen and I’d like to change it to the larger 8 inch 5G6919605B unit.

My car is a 2016 Passat GT estate with Satnav and the glovebox unit.

Will changing just the screen require coding or can they just be swapped out?

I’ve read someone doing this to their Golf and it just working straight away.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks 😊.

It would probably be useful if you would post an Auto-Scan so people can see exactly how your car is equipped and configured.

Where in the UK are you? We've got lots of members in the UK. There's a good chance someone within reasonably driving distance would be willing to scan your car for you.

It should be the preGP unit without smooth glass. - Picture would be handy here.
But yes You can swap it for GP unit 8inch glass with buttons. Resolution is the same and it will start working. It most likely will throw a code for SVM in fault memory but it won't affect usability and can be cleared with XOR calculation.

You can't swap it for 9.2 inch, this will only work with MIB2GP PRO.

Thanks for replying, would the part number above specified in my first post work with my vehicle? Would a pic of my current unit help at all?

Is this error code easily cleared by either main dealer or someone with the software?

Thanks again for your help.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Mcbane18 did you manage to install your screen? Did it need coding?
