If your OEM navigation/radio screen is delaminating or your buttons have stopped working, you’ve probably already heard the bad news from the dealership:
“It can’t be fixed — you need to buy a new one for $2,500 to $3,000.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t just a scare tactic. Dealerships often don’t offer repairs for these factory-installed head units. Whether you drive a Volkswagen, Dodge, Chrysler, or Jeep, it’s the same story:
The dealer says your module is a total loss, and they’ll push you to replace the whole thing — if they can even get one.
But what if there was another option?
Real Story: 2017 VW Beetle Navigation Unit Repaired for a Fraction of the Cost
Stephen Becker from Sugar Hill, GA, reached out to us with a question many car owners ask:
“This car is for my daughter — it’s a 2017 Volkswagen Beetle with the factory radio, navigation, CarPlay, the whole setup. The screen is delaminating, and the buttons don’t work.
Do you guys rebuild these radios?
Volkswagen won’t touch them, and parts are unavailable. They want $2,600 for a new one — and that’s dealer cost.”
His concerns were valid. These MIB2 Discovery Media systems are fully integrated — when the screen or buttons fail, it affects everything: navigation, audio, Bluetooth, climate controls, and more. And since the parts are manufactured in Mexico and often on national backorder, most dealerships and repair shops just shrug.
We Fixed It — And Blew the Customer Away
Stephen sent in the unit. We repaired the delaminated screen, restored full button functionality, and sent it back fully working, plug-and-play.
Here’s what he said after the repair:
“Your guys are absolutely amazing. What an incredible job.
According to Volkswagen, you can’t do anything with that radio when the screen is busted. The dealer price is $2,600 and retail is over $3,000 — and they’re on backorder!
I’m going to post about this everywhere. I’ve got half a million followers, and I’m sending everyone to you. You guys ROCK.”
