VW Discover Screen Digitiser Retrofit for Hassle-Free Repair

VW Discover screen digitiser replacement for a damaged navigation unit

VW Discover screen digitiser replacement is the perfect solution when your infotainment system starts ghost-touching, freezing, or goes completely blank. In this case, the customer sent us their headunit with a cracked digitiser—no need to book the van in, just post the unit to us and we’ll handle the rest.

Ever tapped your Discover system and it either ignores you—or worse, goes wild selecting random buttons on its own? That’s usually a failed screen digitiser. Instead of replacing the entire headunit (a costly move at the dealership), we carefully strip down the unit and fit a brand-new digitiser panel. The customer simply sent the module to our workshop, and we returned it fully restored and ready to plug back in.

What We Did

  • ✔️ Received the faulty VW Discover headunit via post
  • ✔️ Disassembled the unit using OEM-safe techniques
  • ✔️ Removed the damaged digitiser and fitted a brand-new replacement
  • ✔️ Fully tested the screen response and refitted the unit
  • ✔️ Returned the repaired unit via tracked courier, ready for plug-and-play

Why This Fix Works So Well

The digitiser is the touchscreen layer responsible for interpreting your touch input. When it fails, the display might still show images, but your inputs won’t register—or worse, will act erratically. This is a very common issue on VW Discover systems, especially in Transporter, Golf, and Passat models. Our VW Discover screen digitiser replacement directly solves this without needing to replace the entire infotainment unit.

Benefits Over Dealership Replacement

Dealers often recommend full unit replacement, which can run into four figures. By contrast, our approach focuses on component-level repair. This not only saves money but also keeps your original coding and settings intact—no need to recode or adapt anything. It’s a quicker, cleaner, and smarter way to get your system working again.

How It Works – Hassle-Free from Start to Finish

We’ve streamlined the process to make it as painless as possible. Here’s how it goes:

  • 📦 Post your faulty Discover headunit to us (we’ll provide packaging tips)
  • 🛠️ We strip the unit down in a clean, static-free environment
  • đź§© Fit a brand-new, high-quality digitiser with full screen calibration
  • 📦 Return it to you via insured courier—usually within 48–72 hours

There’s no need to remove dashboards or mess with coding. Just unplug, post, wait, and refit. It couldn’t be simpler.

Waiting Area While We Work (For Local Drop-Offs)

If you prefer to drop your headunit off in person, we’ve got a comfortable waiting area at our workshop in Nuneaton. While we carry out the repair, you can enjoy free hot drinks, Wi-Fi, and a smart TV. Or take a stroll around Higham on the Hill or grab a bite from nearby cafés.
