@molphar ,
I am not sure of your meaning with your typo, "withput", you either meant without, or with putting in the 8E0035593F, either way, that part is not for Bentley's outside of the America's.

I also think that this thread has some confusion on Rico's part versus what @sirrichi was asking as to the DAB, and @Rico.Adams stating that the digital radio as he claimed could not be updated, yet it has been stated many times in various threads about the analog TV tuner vs the digital TV tuner, 3D0919146 vs 3D0919148, and that the "148" gives DAB radio, even in this thread itself, @steve.2.lowe stated that he installed the 3D0919148 and received DAB, as did @Littlj01 in the other thread you stated no one responded to.

I think some are confused by not realizing that DAB resides in the TV tuner for the Bentley, at least in the years that people are swapping out the "146" analog to the "148" digital unit.

Thank You for answer! yes, it was without, sorry.

Oh, then i don't understand why there were no DAB stations, when i was in covered zone. still, not a big loss, due to low bitrate. one more thing to do - video-in-motion, i need access code for "ZAB cockpit" to find speed when in cut's off video

@molphar ,
Which TV tuner do you have installed, and when you were trying to access the DAB stations, were you in the radio broadcast menu, or the TV menu ?

As far as VIM, you can try this VIM code generator linked below, just skip instruction number 14 and use number 15 instruction to restart the Infotainment head if needed.

I read online that an owner of a 2012 Mulsanne had successfully set VIM by use of this code generator, so I have no first hand knowledge as to working with any year GT/GTC, I did use it on my A8L W12 with no issue, and I did just input a serial number from a 2007 Bentley GT Infotainment head unit I have here and the generator gave a five digit number code, I will test on my 2010 Infotainment head unit later today, although I do not have the TV installed at this time, I will test for access to change the VIM speed setting.

148, both, radio and tv.

I know about this algoritm, and used in touareg:
firts digit - always 0
second - second symbol from the end
third - fifth from the end
forth - last digit
fifth - forth from the end, like:



BUT! it didn't work (
and my vsds is offical, localized 21.4.0 PRO version, it has no Advanced ID - 1A, just identification on the place of that button



So i used serial from sticker on other side of head unit



still loocking for the solution. But, I think, newer head units can be edited with this code
