Retrofit Cases
Documented installations by workshops using MyOEBase parts. Vehicles, parts used, obstacles and how they were solved.
VW Golf MK7 — Digital Cockpit + PLA Parking Assist Retrofit
A 2016 Golf 7 (MQB) upgraded from analog gauges to a factory digital cluster, with front and rear parking assist added in the same job.
Parts used:
- Digital instrument cluster (MQB)
- PLA 3.0 parking assist kit, front + rear
- Gateway coding & adaptation
What made it interesting: The cluster needed the correct gateway adaptation before it would accept the vehicle’s immobiliser data. We supplied the coding sequence and stayed on WhatsApp through the first installation.
Audi A6 C8 — MIB3 Navigation & Virtual Cockpit Upgrade
A pre-facelift A6 C8 brought up to MIB3 specification: 9.2-inch glass display, virtual cockpit and updated navigation.
Parts used:
- MIB3 glass navigation display
- Virtual cockpit instrument cluster
- Retrofit wiring harness
What made it interesting: Component protection had to be removed from the control unit before the new display would be recognised. We handle CP removal with the customer’s vehicle details.
VW Tiguan MK2 — OE Rear View Camera 5NA827566D Replacement
A 2019 Tiguan MK2 with a failed reversing camera, replaced with a genuine 5NA827566D unit including wiring and water pipe.
Parts used:
- 5NA827566D rear view camera
- Camera wiring harness
- Display coding
What made it interesting: VCDS, ODIS or VAS coding is required after installation, otherwise the camera stays dark. Our customers receive the parameter settings up front, so the job is finished in one visit.
