2 Answers
The model number of the 2016 Passat center console screen is 682E. Center Console: Includes the central control door lock system, which allows the driver to control the opening and closing of all vehicle doors and the window lift system via the car's center console. It also includes the central control panel, featuring various vehicle controllers such as the audio control panel. Central Locking System: Its basic components mainly consist of the door lock switch, door lock actuator, and door lock controller. Door Lock Switch: Most switches are composed of a master switch and sub-switches. The master switch is located on the driver's side door, allowing the driver to lock or unlock all doors of the vehicle. Sub-switches are installed on other doors, enabling individual control of each door.
I drive a 2016 Passat, and the infotainment screen model depends on the vehicle configuration. My top-trim version has the Discover Media system with a screen size of about 6.5 inches. You can check the specific model in the settings menu under system information, such as those labeled MIB II or Composition. Looking back, the screen feels a bit outdated now, but the navigation function is still decent. If you want to upgrade, you can replace it with a newer MIB unit to improve responsiveness, but make sure to check compatibility and avoid reckless disassembly, as it could damage the climate control panel. During daily driving, if the screen occasionally freezes or reboots, just leave it be—don’t tamper with the wiring and waste money.
