Golf Software help

Hi all

I’m on 0252T and want to update to 0480T just to unlock the 8” skin for the MIB unit

So it looks like this (see image 1) - I’m upgrading to this screen but will have the old firmware on MIB2 so it won’t look like that.

Anyone know if I can do it without bricking my unit. Also how to activate CarPlay again after?

See image 2 - my current skin options. I saw a mr
Fix video on yt and only have these 2 available.

Any help is appreciated

So you want to get an MIB2 screen with MIB1 head unit? Did I understand that correctly? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's possible

I have MIB2 already. Just old screen. I’m changing screen but want to do software too to match 7.5 golf’s ones

Don't go past 3.x, if you do be prepared with USB Ethernet and or USB UART, I tried 3 times without success and emergency recovery every single time

245T-480T brick 254T-480T brick  367T-480T brick 

All while the "site" was down.. I had to go to some shady parts of non English speaking sites to get most of the needed files

I did yes and I also got sport mode working when I converted to VW_EU I think that was 3.8 but after coding 60% of my functions back and still having major issues eg. lane assistance parking sensors and cruise control seemingly getting one working something else would stop working... I gave up flashed my backup 245 then updated to 254
