Strange that you still don't have mute after deactivating the Byte/Bit - have you tried resetting the MIBB unit after the change ? It's done like this:

With the MIB unit turned-on press down the ON/OFF knob until the MIB unit switches-off AND keep holding the ON/OFF knob down until the unit turns-on again (about 10 seconds).

Then try the VC button(s) again

Once I made it deactivated this error has now gone but still get the top message.

This is after the MIB reset as well.

Does it look like I'm out of luck?

Bassik- I never like to give-up without a solution, but I'm running out of options.

I'm trying to understand why this problem has arisen on your car? The fact that the default value for Byte 24 was set is unusual for a mk7 that came factory fitted without VC. Plus, I consider myself to be fairly active in the mk7 forums and your problem is relatively unique. What's the history of the car?

PS: Long shot - but try resetting to factory settings through the MENU option

Honestly couldn't tell you the history. It's the 40th Years ED and was bought only 2 weeks ago. I got the OBDeleven straight away. Could it be that it's the 40th?


If I have the option to activate with a code from VW does that mean that I have the VC installed but just not activated, thus meaning I do have it installed from factory.

I like your determination because from reading on several forums I can confirm owners do in fact have the VC functioning as a mute button.

Don,

Could this be due to the fact that MIB 1 (what you and I have) behaves different to MIB2?

I can't remember how I came to this conclusion (whether it was the loaner VW gave me that has MIB2, or through reading forum posts), but I had the impression that MIB2 voice control button didn't function as a mute button like it did with MIB1?

Hi,

Can I ask what the differences are between MIB1 and 2. Is this the 5" version the old mk7 pre MY16s had?

Yup, that's one of the differences. MIB 2 also has way higher resolution and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

So this might be the culprit. One would think MIB2 would inherit the same functionalities as MIB1 but maybe having CarPlay and Siri would mean this VC button would in fact cater to that Siri feature when CarPlay is active???

If you press and hold the button, I believe this activates Siri.

Can anyone else with MIB2 confirm my potentially misguided assumptions?

Hi all,

Has anyone success on removing the speed limit for Mirrorlink function on MIB2? I'm not quite sure how to tackle it... all helps are much appreciated.
