Managed to break the pins on the MIB unit within the quadlock on the back when trying to install car play retrofit. Is that the end for that unit or can I take the back part off to replace the broken pins? The infotainment won’t power up at all....
just to be clear, pins on the actual MIB / MMI unit or within the connectors that plug in to it?Managed to break the pins on the MIB unit within the quadlock on the back when trying to install car play retrofit. Is that the end for that unit or can I take the back part off to replace the broken pins? The infotainment won’t power up at all....
That's a shame mate yep soldering job. You can get a android unit that does everything and it looks oemIt’s the small pins (the group of 8 or so on the right) that have sheared at the base of them. I thought the ones on the amazon thing you’ve sent are for the actual connector? Or am I just getting confused haha
There will be a how to do on YouTubeI think I still have the small pins somewhere, if I didn’t is there somewhere I could buy them? The guy in the audio shop seemed convinced that it couldn’t be soldered (never done it before so couldn’t really question it)
No you need to replace with a Harman unit, and one with the same part number really. Any brand other than a Harman, like a Panasonic, is a lesser unit and will give you issues.I can’t find those pins online to purchase though - any idea what they might be called?
@DJAlix - the unit I have is the harman version, would I be able to replace it with a Panasonic unit if it comes to it?
You will 100% need the unit coding to match the options / spec of your car, and unless you buy a hacked one you will need anti-theft / component protection removing also.No worries cheers. If I manage to get hold of an identical unit is it just plug and play or will it need any coding?
Dealership or authorised 3rd party. DHAutomotive can host a remote session for me to do the works remotely. They are in Falkirk.Ah. I see. Sorry for all the questions, but will I have to take the car to an Audi garage for that? I’m up in Glasgow and not sure if there’s anyone up here that does the coding.
