Most of the electronic retro fit projects end up with costs so great that you might as well sell your car and get one with the bits on it.. Unless money is no object and its just for sh!ts and giggles... You'll never see that money back in residual value and you can't even rip your extras out if you sell...

When I was looking for my car in the autumn there was a MK7 for sale with a MK 7.5 virtual dash fitted. A quick Google found these guys https://www.facebook.com/cartechuk/. I would imagine it won't be cheap though, and if the car is still under warranty I don't think VW would offer any help if you have ANY electrical gremlins in the future.

So it sounds like if you have mib2 you can retro fit the newer display.

I suspect that even with a navpro mib2 you won't get the dual map display though....

In fact, will it even display the map on the AID at all?

Yes but the Mk7.5 NavPro unit is a totally different (more powerful) version of the MIB and different to the Mk7 MIB2 NavPro...
