dude your video works thanks for taking the time to share this did mine in well under an hour

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Really easy to follow. I have a Discovery nav (2017 California Beach ) with an ALPS chip set next to the SD Card reader. To remove the screen from the PCB I had to remove both the vertical SD card readers as there’s a small pressure clip on each that needed to be pushed to release the touchscreen. One other build - reset the head unit after reinstalling (on mine it was just pressing the power button and holding for 10+ seconds until the unit restarts. The new digitiser didn’t work until I did this.

I appreciate you posting this!! It totally works

Sorry i haven't the patience or confidence to do this...maybe its me but i would end up either divorced or in jail.

How about another video on how to get the unit out of the car to fix ?

I currently have a fully functioning screen besides the top left corner (where the previous station arrow is), any tips for potentially fixing a deadzone? Little gimmicks that might work? Ive noticed some responsiveness when i hard press for a long duration but its inconsistent

What’s the part number please,and where do I get it

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. You’ve saved me so much time, effort and money! I did this fix on a 2017 Seat Alhambra with a touchscreen that was partially non responsive and driving me mad. Your fix worked a treat. Thank you again for this!

Thanks so much; I've just spent a good portion of a Bank Holiday Monday successfully repairing the screen on my partners 2016 Yeti with the help of your video. Not only does the head unit now work perfectly, the level of smug satisfaction I've got from fixing a thing properly is through the roof - she's already fed up with me prancing around the house like I'm the god of car audio repairs.

gracias !!! buen video

Thank you!! This worked perfectly for my 2017 Jetta. Screen only took a week to get here. Mine head unit is a little different as the release tabs are on the inside and I had to remove that small daughter board as well. I had to run to Home Depot to get a Torx key set, I needed T6 & T8. I advise anyone doing this to make sure to have all smaller Torx sizes before beginning.

Hi Duncan, thank you fo posting this video. I have replaced the digitizer on my unit and it's now working perfectly again. Used the the exact one you had refrenced for my 2018 Amarok - MIB STD2 PQ +/NAV

Super video. A little care and dexterity called for. Hardest bit was replacing plastic in car. £9.59 off ebay; skoda, vw etc are all the same. You pay more than double for the one labelled VW......obviously driving a VW means you're flush. Only worry is it is glued round the edge; how long will this cheap Chinese touch matrix last; compared to the shite OEM VW (chinese) matrix. I have visions of a great stack of touch screens...... Many thanks for great instructions.

Thank you very very very much. they ask 400€ to repair it. I watched your video and I did it myself.

Followed your instructions to the letter and it worked. Thank you so much.

Were is the link to order the screen?

Thank you so much from Australia.. I learned from your video that the problem could be fixed cheaply and I immediately followed link to order the part from Aliexpress. Local VW dealer quoted me AUS $3919 ( $3519 for parts and $400 service fee) to replace it for my 6 years old Caddy. Touch screen stopped working a year ago. The touch screen arrived today from China after 2 weeks. I also used another video from "neuromangler" for a lot more details in the repairing process. I ended up spending AUS $20 plus 2 hours of my time. It is now working like a new one. Huge thanks!!! Duncan!

Can't believe I've just bought the touch screen from Ali express for £1.29, first order 70% off + free shipping! 😮

Thank you! I just fixed my broken Jetta radio with this video. Putting the new screen on over the old screen worked perfectly. I'm so grateful. Good job!!!

I love you. Saved me quite a bit of time and money.

You were the first video I seen that suggested leaving the old screen on. Worked perfect. Thanks. Only thing to add is make sure anyone doing this orders a small precision torex screw driver set along with the replacement screen. Torex head sizes for the internal radio screws were very small T 5 I think. I chanced a small flathead and got away with it luckily.

Perfect guide thanks, just followed! Including removal just under 1hr

This worked, I got the one in the link above delivererd to ireland for €14. I have same head unit as in the video. 2017 VW sharan. about 80% of my screen stopped working, mainly in middle, was left with about 20% on the right side still working. Follow these instructions to remove the unit. th-cam.com/video/9LMGOCuBSt8/w-d-xo.html They say to use a plastic spudgeon to pry open the dash without damaging the trim, but 2 table knifes braced with a piece of cloth worked for me. I wouldnt use screwdrivers unless one slipped and scratched it. I had a T20 bit already for unscrewing the head unit but There are a number of small screwdriver bits youll need when working on the head unit, I got a magnusson precision screwdriver kit out of my local screwfix for 13 quro or so (cant post link in comments) but if youre ordering the part from alibaba, order a precision screwdriver off there at same time so youll have it delivered when you get the new screen. You really will need this. If dont have a T20, maybe make sure any kit you buy does have it.. After you have the head unit stripped down, and new screen with ribbon strip installed, dont forget to take the yellow tape off the new screen to fix it in place. Im not even an amateur electronics guy and found this tutorial worked for me. Huge thanks to poster, have a new working screen for relatively nothing, I learned how to get under my dash and have a lovely new precision toolset. Very happy with that.

Just followed this great instruction and fixed my Discover Media Radio! Thank you so much!

Do you know of a way to power on on the bench, or does it require being connected to the vehicle computer to turn on? Thanks.

0:04 Hi, I’ve swapped the new LCD screen I. And now have touch sensitivity back but a black screen. Do you know whether it is the black or gold ribbon connector responsible for screen illumination. If it’s the gold I will give up as I did stress that. If it’s the black I have some hope that persistant wiggling might work. Thanks so much!

good job!!

Hi, Thanks …so far so good but how did you get the black facia off. Your vid goes from a view of circuit board resting within the facia (while you flick up two hinged connectors)… to looking at the isolated screen. Grateful for the in between step. Do I need to remove the 8 screws in the circuit board?

guys how do i remove it from the car first

Wish to express my gratitude to the TH-camr - It was really helpful - Allow me to save 1500 EUROS :-)

The video is perfect - I just repaired my T6 touchscreen with a alibaba part from China - works perfect for 13 € - thanks a billion for the video! 👍

I got step one mastered😂🤌🏽👍🏽

What a find, thought it would cost me hundreds of pounds , but just like in the video it cost less than 30 with a bit of elbow grease and a couple of hours to do the job. I can't recommend this guy enough. Thank you Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for such an illustrative video. I have exactly the same unit with same codes on the side. Please could you share your purchase link? Thanks

Thanks very much for posting this video really useful. I found that once the screws were removed that secure the circuit board, I had to release plastic clip retaining each sd card readers in order to withdraw the circuit.

what a waste of time this video is

Fantastic. That saved my 5 year old head unit from going in the trash.

Like others, I found this video to be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for posting it. And shame on Volkswagen for making it necessary. You made it much easier with this video

Does the fix hold up long term?

Just did this today, thanks buddy I was doubting myself but she worked great!

I never make comments on TH-cam videos. But this one is awesome. Shame on VW for asking for a lot of money for something that I managed to repair for 15€. Many thanks for the tutorial

A great father and son opportunity to repair the unit for £25. Thanks for the awesome post!

Thanks, saved me hundreds of dollars, almost $2k if I wanted to go through VW. A few notes: You will need T6, T7, and T20 Torx screwdrivers, the T20s take the stereo out of the car, the T7 removes the casing, and the T6 is for the circuit board. He also skips a few steps, presumably because it's hard to do them while holding a phone to record. Only one thing really stumped me for a few minutes until I figured it out: When you get the part where you are removing the circuit board/screen from the outer casing, there are clips next to the SD card readers that you have to press in order to release the board. You CAN remove the SD cards as he says, but you do not need to. Still, I found it easier to just take them out as this made accessing the clips easier for both removal and replacement. I spent in total about $25 dollars on this repair, and that cost included a $10 Torx screwdriver set. Be sure not to overtighten the screws affixing the board to the screen as this will apply pressure to the screen and give you white spots on the screen while you're using it. It's annoying, because by the time you realize you tightened them too much, you've already plugged everything back in.

Same as others on here, I was quoted 1500 plus to replace the unit by the dealership. This cost me about £25, very satisfying repair, many thanks!

Just bought new screen from the link you suggest..£10. Arrived in just 5 days from China to me, that is seriously fast for this time of year! Whole job took 1hr, very simple, works perfectly again! Thank you Duncan and Merry Christmas to you 🙂

Hi were can i find the link to buy a screen for my 2018 vw caddy thanks lee

you are an ANGEL. i was sitting here in literal tears staring at my 3d printer's linear rail that just exploded in a mess of bearings, i'm so relieved that all i need to do is just order some more 😮‍💨 LIFESAVER! you are in my prayers tonight

There are two types of sensors on your aliexpress link. Did you buy shiny or frosted touch sensor?

This is exactly what I had to do for my 2017 VW Jetta. Your instructions were 100% accurate. Thanks so much. It cost me $25 for the part which was mostly shipping.

Thank-you so much for posting this video and the link to Ali Express.I have a 2017 Seat Alhambra fitted with the same head unit and I was quoted over £3,500 (!) to repair or replace the touch screen (probably would have replaced the entire unit). So your tutorial allowed me to fix the faulty touch screen for £12.......RESULT !!
