Hello bimmers,

I had a problem with my MK4 so I bought a used one on eBay.
After I put it in my car I got a black screen on my Navi Prof.

So I need to change the VIN of the used one with my VIN to get it work.

Can smb tell how I can do it?

Thx to all I'm waiting for your replies


Edit:
Configurationexplanation :)

My Configuration:
Nav. Professional + Radio Professional + MK4 (<- damaged)

Other Car:
Nav. Business + Radio Business + MK4 (<- I bought this one and put it in my car) --> Now i have a black screen on my Professional Display

Configuration now:
My Car with exchanged MK4 from the "Other Car"

Preface: (I have no idea) I avoid NAV/Radio questions like the plague.

But this is news to me that NAV systems are VIN specific, and must be coded.

Hi, thanks we quick reply.

The used MK4 was connected with a Business Radio.
I have a Radio Prof. so I thought the blackscreen is caused by this.

So..you have changed the radio also?

Im sure that change requires a recode of the car to add functionality...but still no VIN change.

But again, Im no NAV/Radio guru.
