DAB+ for 2016 Passat 136TSI with Discovery Pro

[rave75]

Hi, is it possible to get DAB+ on 2016 Passat with discovery Pro unit?

[kamold]

Yes it's possible.
Not from VW Australia.
You would need to replace the mib unit in your glovebox with a dab version and install a dab antenna.

I see, so pretty much I wouldn't be able to do it unless I change the mib unit. Thanks man.

rave75: Hi- Kamold is correct (he normally is!) and I am not aux fait with the your Passat's equipment, but if you can - have a peek at the rear of your MIB and check for the presence of a DAB aerial socket. More than likely, the socket won't be there, but there is a very, very, very feint chance that you may be lucky (I hope that you are lucky)!!!

PS: ......and here is a video of how to remove the MIB unit (you will need the two "keys"):



PPS:.......... and if you do decide to upgrade - pay particular attention to how the seller of the new MIB unit handles "Component Protection", which is a system VW uses supposedly to combat the black market for stolen parts. The new MIB unit won't operate successfully without a solution for the resulting CP error. OEM units need to have CP errors removed by a registered dealer, but some third party sellers of MIB units have hacked CP (in these units, the CP error generally still remains, but the effects of the CP error has been removed)
