Polo 6c Composition Media Retrofit

[mirzonac6C]

Hello everyone, I have an option to buy a Composition media from polo 6C, the screen and the glovebox unit. Currently i have composition color in my vw polo, without bluetooth, the most basic one. What is the process of retrofitting the composition media? Here are the pictures of both headunits. Thank you.

Remove old unit and glovebox. Fit new glovebox and brain box, connect it all up, and start the car.
You may need a new harness adapter.
I picked one up off AliExpress and just swapped wires where needed.
The cable for the stock unit and usually not long enough to reach the glovebox.
I have pinout diagrams somewhere so you can match up wires between the factory quadlock connector and the new unit. Usually all in the same place.

Price has shot up since I purchased.

New unit will go into Component Protection mode when you switch it on. You'll need to get Component Protection removed for the device to work in your car.
You can do this using ODIS, buy a login session to the VW mothership and remove the protection. Many people sell access for this. You might be able to find a retrofitter in your area who has that option already.

The other option is to remove it by hacking. This is a rabbit hole. I'm still battling.

The idea is to install the MIB STD2 Toolbox onto the Green Engineering Menu.
You can enable the engineering menu with tools like OBDEleven, etc.

Then install the MIB STD2 Toolbox and apply patch scripts.
There is a script for this toolbox that will remove the component protection.

If the new Composition Media has NAV and 2 SD cards then you're in luck; it can be installed using the SD card slot.
From your pictures, looks like you have the correct unit for that.

With 1 SD card, no NAV, get the soldering iron out as you need to update the eMMC. Either read it off, update and then write it back; or access it live and update.

That is the route I have taken, but my unit is proving a problem to just solder onto the relevant pins. I've spent more money going this route than doing ODIS approach, but it's way more entertaining.

PS: The MIB wiki, etc, tend to be up and down and all over the place. I will try and find my backup of the wiki that has the SD card approach.

Also depends on the manufacturer. I have a Technisat unit, but there are other manufacturers of these units (LG, etc.).

Honesty, find someone who can do the ODIS CP removal for you. Way easier.
